TIME cause of the high price of
food is monopoly All down
the line from producer to
consumer there are organizations
of men who pass the necessities
along, each knocking some profit
out of it, and collecting the whole
bill from the party of the last part
the man who eats the food.
The fewer middlemen between
producer and consumer, the cheap
er is the article
Middlemen are nom producers
and profit takers.
They put up toll gates, and col
lect profits, coming and going.
And yet with the present organi-
cation of society the middleman
has become a necessity. 1t would
bother a good many families in
large city to dispense with him.
The Simple Way.
But many a family can do so in a
very simple way. That is. by be-
coming their own producers.
Twenty years ago. in a certain
community every family used the
land about the house for practical
purposes. 1t raised ,al the vege-
tables required for summer and
winter. In some cases it supported
COW, a pig and some chickens.
Today, while the street has
changed little in. other respects, 1t
is inhabited by pSople with newer
ideals. They DO not trouble to do
garden work. The vegetable man,
the egg man, the milk man and a
whole procession Of men. drive up
to the houses along the street, and
sell the things that the land itself
used to raise and can still produce.
This would be entirely justihable
if wages had advanced. or if the
fortunes IF the families were such
that the householder's time could
be better employed than in doing
garden work.
But this is not the case. In this.
and in many other places, the little
garden as an aid To family economy
has gone ont of fashion

1t is amazing what fortune a fam
lily in humble circumstances can
attain to by developing all the re-

good management are as forceful as

ped in twenty towns and
cities. dispensing the oratorical ca
Ioritc. under the kindly guidance of
the ad clubs.
To say that Texas is prosperous
is putting it pianissimo. Texas is
rnicroby with money.
The buying power of the people
is revealed by the business done in
the department stores. A pioneer
people buy things that are coarse
and strong, and always the intent
is to make the dollar go as far as
that famous dollar which George
Washington once threw across the
Potomac.
In the Texas department stores
Won will find the latest fashions
modes from Paris and styles from
London. Texas has passed out Of
the pioneer stage.
The thing that has caused the
yelling waters of prosperity to flow
is the demand for cotton. Cotton
is king. Cotton clothes the world.
Texas produces one-third of the
cotton crop of the United States.
Cotton is raised in Texas at less
cost per bale than anywhere else in
the world.
In most states you hear of cot
ton patches" but in Texas there
are cotton fields-fields seemingly
limited only by the horizon.
Source of It's Prosperity.
The discovery that cotton will
grow on the prairie is new one
Texas in this year of grace, 1912, is
producing four million bales of cot
ton. IQlS COllOily lAlCluOllio Wv ""
rious products of cotton seed, is
worth three hundred million dol
lars. And yet cotton is only one of
nine great products that Texas pro-
duces.
However, only half Of the people
are engaged in farming in Texas.
And about one-half of these raise
cotton. The result when figured up
would show that in some districts
whole families will receive in cash
a thousand dollars for each mem
Der Of the family.
At one place of thousand in
habitants I counted over two hun
dred teams that had come to town
with loads of cotton. A wagon load
is anywhere from one bale to five;
so each farmer went back home
with from sixty to three hundred
dollars in cash. or it's equivalent.
The tendency Of the cotton farm
er is toward the small farm, simply
because labor conditions are such
that the farmer has to do the work
himself, and with his own imme-
date family. AS for hiring a great
number of men and systematizing
the business, this is getting more
and more of problem The help
ers are not to be had A big fam
lily in Texas is an asset.
Cotton pickers get a dollar and
quarter a hundred pounds. When
they were hired by the day they
picked a hundred pounds of cotton
a day. And so the idea of piece
work came in, and a dollar and
quarter was fixed as a fair rate for
picking hundred pounds of cot
ton.
The result has been that piece
work has quickened the process. |
saw girls of twelve that would pick
a hundred pounds a day, and here
in Texas in the country all the
children work And working out of
doors, with plenty to eat. In a sa-
lubrious climate, they are healthy
and well and strong - brown.
bronzed, happy. They can sleep all
right, and they certainly eat.
Some expert women pickers do
their 800 pounds a day. and l saw
a few men who could pick 400
pounds a day. A great number of
negroes make from SO TO SO day.

Some Good Yields

The following reports of yields in
Western Hand county is taken from
the Rec Heights Review and shows
plainly the result of good farming
in the absence of sufficient moisture.
On the F. R. Gardner place, F. c.
Ogle raised Is bushels of Turkey
Red winter wheat per acre. The
wheat was drilled in between the
rows of corn with a one horse drill.
1t made a fire growth last fall. and
was protected all winter by snow,
held by the corn stalks.
Frank Blaisdell, farther west, in
Hyde county. drilled his winter
wheat in the stubble last fall. The
stubble and thistles held the snow
and the result was 10 bushels per
acre.
B. S. Bell, of Cedar township, re-
ports a yield of ia bushels of spring
wheat per acre. The land was plow-
ed last August, eight in. deep, and
narrowed a couple Of times, saving
much of the moisture that came in
the fall. Before drilling in the seed
this spring, the ground was harrow
ed and double disced a couple of
times each, and after the wheat was
up it was gone over twice with a
weeder. Wheat on adjoining land
turned out z bushels per acre,
Henry Vogel threshed four acres
of barley which yielded 80 bushels
rer acre. Last fall he plowed the
ground early, good and deep. This
spring he narrowed, double disced
and narrowed; then drilled. after
which he went on with a corrugated
roller. After the barley came up
he narrowed it at two different
times. 1t certainly pays to put
some more work on this land. Mr.
Vogel's place is eight miles south of
Rec Heights.
