AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY
0iyersiiication Has About Solved
the Agricultural Question In
the Lone Star State.

eight counties IN any State
which produce over LOCO, 00t
bales Of cotton are the counties
Of Collin, Ellis, Fannin, Kauf
man. Hill. McLennan, Navarro
and williamson. which produced
in the aggregate last year / ,024,
713 bales. and il adds Nc
doubt prosperity abounds in
those eight counties. but we
have a curiosity to know if a
great many Of the farmers in
those counties do not buy much
of their corn from Kansas. We
have some great cotton growing
counties in Alabama, but we are
ashamed to confess that Ala
bama still continues to buy a
great deal Of corn from the
West. "
In order to enlighten our con-
temporary about these great
cotton-producing counties, we
will say that il Is improbable
that a bushel Of Kansas corn
finds its way into one Of them.
These are not only the largest
cotton producing counties Of the
State. but they are likewise
heavy corn-producing counties.
Acreage and prospects consider
ed, these counties ought 10 pro-
duce this year / 200. 600 bales Of
cotton and from p, OOO. 900 to
80, coo. eco bushels Of corn. with
probably 100000 bushels Of
oats.
II is one Of the fundamentals
Of Texas prosperity that crops
are now so diversified the ma
iority Of farmers have b. buy
very little corn except in years
that are unusually dry. With
favorable seasons from this
time on, the corn production Of
the State ought to reach from
$50 000. GOO TO POO. 600. 600
bushels. This is rot large
yield for Texas. considering the
vast needs Of the State. but il
means that few farmers will
have % buy from Kansas.
Moreover Texas farmers are
now going heavily into forage
crops. and even where the corn

dulrements viii not be large.
Diversihcation has not accom-
plished all for Texas that is de-
sirahle. but II is making fine

before another decade passes

society's Classical Concert En-
loved by Large Audience.

THE philharmonic Society at It's regular
Friday afternoon concert yesterday gave
a classic programme, with Bach Mozart
HAYDN and Beethoven as the composers
represented.
The solo performer was Henri Leon lie
aov. the solo clarinet OF the orchestra
who appeared In Mozarts concerto In y
major for clarinet and orchestra and held
bis mart 10 general satisfaction.
The concert opened with Bach's Bran
denburg Concerto No. 3, and the first por-
tion closed with Haydn's "Militaire" sym
nbonv. The second portion OF the pro-
graume was devoted TO Beethoven's sixth
Svmphony, the Pastoral" and here MI
stransky and his band proved themselves
at their best. 1t was an admirable read
ing. one that bore no traces OF exagger-
alton, and was characterized throughout
nv lightness and grace.
A purely classic programme, with no
nonular assisting artist, is not likely TO

his sense of fun and his hearty good

other than Miss Powell will see fit to In

AS for Mr.. Grasse, the violinist. his art
has deepened with the years, and last
night he played throughout most beauu-
fully. His tone was uniformly rich ana
round. his intonation impeccable, his bow
ing broad in style. and his technical mas
terry equal to all demands. In addition.
his playing was at times Informed with
the true imaginative glow. The violinist
may be blind, but after last night he
made his auditors see pictures OF rare
beauty. His audience was large and most
symDdthetic.
