we're only 26l when there was

The answer is: When people

spondingly lengthy, Lubbock
County as it is. " This means
that we are going TO tell our
readers about the conditions as
they exist, in a few brief SEN
tences. One cause of this is
that we receive so many letters
almost every day from people
in other sections Of the country,
inquiring about the conditions Of
this section of the State and
this is the best way we know
of 10 answer all at one time.
Follow us closely and see If we

To begin with will state that
money matters to a. certain eX-
tent at least might be termed
tight. We are this much
like nearly every section Of the
State and many other States in
the Union.
We read the papers from other
parts of the country and we
talk with people from every sec
ton of the United States almost,
and we find that our conditions
here are much better than in a
number of other places. The
forage crop. in fact most all
crops in this section last year
we're above the average, and as
a result there has been a large
amount of feed shipped out of
the country this winter and sold
to people in the Eastern part
0f the State Before the feed
season. "a large amount of truck

The outlook for this year we
believe IS the brightest that this
country has ever enjoyd. The
season has been good this winter
an extra ordinary amount Of
moisture for this section Of the
country. This has left the soil
in fine shape. and together with
the hard freezes that have just
passed over that have destroyed
all the insects Of the earth,
many of which were of the
crop destroying specie. there IS
a blight crop outlook for 1912.
With these prospects in view
there are numbers of people
coming here. buying and leasing
land for the purpose of farming
this year. and this IS bringing
new money into the country.
