pressed with the paragraph in
last weeks paper. which reads as
follows: Make friends. You
can do this by greeting strangers
pleasantly, and giving them the
information that they might ask
for straight Don't exagerate
about Lubbock, There is enough
truth to be told about this
country to fill it full of people in
five years"
We think that shot rang the
bell: Tell it again and again,
that il may soak through. In
this day, people who do things
are wanting facts and we have
them to show. 1t is better to
show anyone than it is to tell
them. In this connection, we
want to state that we have seen.
and anyone doubling can see the
same things.
Just south of town we saw 200
acres in kaffir, maze and cotton,
about 100 acres in grain and 80
acres in cotton. This field we
understand was worked by one
man and his son, and that they
are tenants on the 1-3 and Ia
basis.
This is not an exceptional farm,
but many crops in the vacinity
are as good. AS we went over
this place pretty thoroughly we
want to use this farm as basis
of what can be done, and is be-
ing done in this country, and we
want to compare with any farm
in Texas of the same size, and
submit that there are very few
(if any at alb that will surpass
il from a net revenue standpoint.
We want to be conservative in
our estimate, and we want any
one doubling these figures to go
and see. We would estimate the
grain crop at ton per acre (120
tons) worth S25 per ton $1,000. 90.
Cotton 20 bales, worth $1,000, or
a total of 1920 90 which aver
ages 5000 per acre. We would
estimate a cost of $1,000 for max
ing and gathering this crop
This We think would allow ex-
cellent wages for all the work
required. Here we have a net
proht of $4,000 or Sl5 per acre.
No for a small piece Of land, but
for a field of 200 acres. Here
we find the rents of this land
paying about 81 90 per acre and
about 80 per cent upon the in
vestment.
These things sound like fiction
to the average man, and especial
lv when il is said that this is no
exception, and that this has been !
below the average seasonable
year.
We want to emphasize that !
there is enough truth concerning
the actual worth of this country, |
upon that farm. if properly |
brought to the notice of the
practical farmers of Texas.
to bring 100 farm rs into
this county. We have been
pretty well all over Texas, and
through a great many other
farming states, and we believe
that we are a fair Judge of land
and crops. and we have never
seen a more attractive scene any
where.
There we can see what has
been done without the aid of ir-
rigation. and when our unlimited
water supply is fully demon
strated to the farmer. there is
no limit to the actual value of !
this land.
We have been in the Lubbock /
country about five years. and

ment and unavoidable conditions /
