PROGRESS OF TEXAS FARMER
aration Of Land This Season
Than Ever Before.

There Is a note Of encouragement
respecting progress in better methods
Of farming in the statement Of WIS.,
itor to Houston the other day, as to
conditions in his county, inasmuch as
there is abundant corroborative test1-
mony Of like conditions Of progress
throughout the state.
There will be, said the party refer
red to, J. C. Meads Of Madisonville,
Tex. considerable more preparation
Of lands this season by our farmers
than any other previous year, on &C.
count of the fact that the value Of
fertilizers Ia becoming better known
in our section OF the state. Success
ful demonstrations Of increased
yields on fertilized lands have been
made in our county, and these prac-
tical tests have been eye-openers to
our people. Our section of the state
is comparing with other sections In
progress and growth, and We are en-
joying fairly prosperous conditions.
And his In face Of the fact that
last year witnessed the production
Of the smallest corn crop grown in
the state in several years, as we'll as
heavy falling Off in the yield Of
other grain and forage crops. The
weather Of the past few months Las
put q better seasoning In the ground
than has been known for many years
previous, and the fruits that natural
ly may be expected to follow under
favorable or even average weather
conditions during the growing season
should be abundant yields Of the
various crops planted and properly
tended.
These results will be increasingly
assured by a more careful preparation
of the soil for the reception Of the
seeds, which, as we have previ-
ously indicated, there are gratifying
evidences that farmers in every Sec
ton Of the state are undertaking to
do. The farmers have within the
most recent years been making mark
ed progress in attaining a knowledge
of the science of agriculture, and
this knowledge they are applying to
the conditions which affect tillage
under varying soil characteristics,
climatic influences and the diversi-
ties in the amount of moisture pecul-
lar to different sections, with a de-
gree of intelligence that is distinctly
encouraging in the practical results
that follow In the way Of increased
yields and larger net profits in re-
turn for the outlay Of capital and
energy.
TIE old idea that Is is not abso-
iute!y necessary to keep the soil in
vigorated by the application annu-
ally of fertilizer in some form or
another to even the most produc-
tive lands is now pretty well exploded
in the minds of farmers in general.
and the acceptance OF the truth Of this
necessary change in methods OF keep
ing up soil fertility necessarily forces
larger preparation Of the land prior
to planting than obtained under old
methods. in order to achieve best re-
suits from the use OF the fertilizer.
| Thus, with an increased movement
among the farmers to prevent soil
erosion and waste, we may hope for a
wonderful advance in Texas agricul-
tural conditions.-Houston Post.

Important Farm Products.

Too many farmers forget that men
and women are the most important
farm products. The most successful
farm is the one that turns out the
best men and women, ready to make
happy living from other farms when
they leave the home farms.

John Rawn stood looking at the IN

through the corridors of the gilded
hotel Warmth, music, a Babel of
voices, were all about. There ap-
preached a little group OF laughing
men coming from the carriage en-
trance, bound, no doubt. to a banquet
hall somewhere under the capacious
roof One voice rose above the others
as the group advanced. There ap-
peared, rapidly talking and gesticulat-

He passed on, gesticulating. talking
Men commented audibly, for there was
no mistaking a man idealized by
some, dreaded by others, scorned by
none, mathematical by not few. He
was to address that night a meeting
