ant to the taste or deleterious

has this country not been highly
developed long ago, naturally
asks and to one familiar with
all facts, the question is some
what hard to answer. There is
really no sufficient reason or
meritorious excuse for it. But
the plain facts are these:

To some dear falsehood hugs it

Away back yonder some one
got il into his head that this was
a terrible country. The school
biographies taught that il was
an awful desert. No one came
to investigate and contradict the
fable. 1t was msgnlfied rather
than dispelled. This false idea
nicely prepared the way for the
land monopoIist. When the

the world. If only hogs anc
maize and kaffir corn were raised
here it would be one of the
worlds most prosperous sections.
Yet we are buying more meat
than we are producing. And
we could have shipped out
thousands OF tons of maize
above that we have shipped out
if the land had only been IN
cultivation. Idle land, tin cans,
paper sacks, ten per cent and
automobiles is what ails us. We
have the greatest summer grow
ing climate in the word. and
this country is unsurpa ssed for
summer truck and melons. We
are almost without competition
in this line-we have the pos
sibllities of a monopoly without
combination or agreement.

but we are not working the mine
as we should. True, the country
is young. but these words are
timely. just the same.
We have a good wheat coun-
try a great millet. oats. sorghum
and cotton country. For a period
of twenty years our average
rainfall has been above seven
teen inches. The worst year
We have had during all that
time had fourteen inches of rain

iuralists agree that this amount

of rain in connection with proper
cultivation for growing any of
these crops. So, no matter what
the bowler may say the facts
show that we have plenty of
rainfall for farming purposes.
But for more absolutely certain
farming purposes we have the
best and cheapest and surest
water supply in the world.
Our soil and climate are ideal
for growing alfalfa. For this
purpose we have the necessary
water supply. and it can be

During the past four months
the Lubbock country has ship
ped out hundreds of cars of feed
stuff to all parts of the coun-
try. especially to the old farm
ing sections where feed crops
were a failure last year. This is
by no means the first great feed
crop that has been raised here.
In fact, there has never been a
failure of those now staple as
well as certain and profitable
crops, milo maize and kaffir
corn, but it is the first time this
country has ever had the advan.
tage of railroad facilities for
shipping its produce. Without
the relief furnished by means Of
the great feed crop raised on the
Plains the past wear. there is no
estimating the hardships that
would have resulted to those
sections making no feed. There
was really no section of coun-
try from which they could OBJ
tain such supplies except from
the Plains country.
And now the humble hen
comes in as a factor in the
case. Practically thousand
dozen eggs were shipped out of
Lubbock during the past week,
the local price ranging around
II l-2 cents per dozen. These
may be little items within them
selves. but they are the lus-
trous infants of a new industrial
empire. They are the indis-
