In 1911 the average corn crop of
Texas was go bushels to the acre.
Sevenbsen hundred and forty-six con-
testants for the prizes offered by the
Texas Industrial Congress, coming

strates that the work Of the Congress
is constructive, permanent and cumu

The Congress keeps in touch with
all contestants, makes suggestions as
to preparation of soil, conserving mois

Any person who has dug potatoes
