DEvELopE OUR IDLE LANDS.

The business men of Houston can
lily afford to remain passive when
strong and aggressive movement needs
their influence and encouragement in
an effort to stimulate broader and
more comprehensive development of
the agricultural possibilities of our
contiguous territory.
Idle lands can not contribute to a
city's growth and prosperity, or to
the building up of trade and COM
merce. A movement that has for its
object the settlement OF our idle lands
and their transformation into farm
homes certainly deserves to be en-
couraged. There is no question of the
millions Of acres of vacant lands in the
territory contiguous to Houston. These
lands can be purchased on most ad-
vantageous terms and the homeless
millions seeking a genial climate,
abundant rainfall need only a guiding
hand and an encouraging word to
cause them to make their home among
us, Every homebuilder who settles on
these lands is an asset to Houston's
credit
A country where agriculture is rich
and prosperous is one where indus
trial enterprises flourish. 1t is the
very life of industries of every char
acter. We need not go to foreign
lands to have this verified. Put your
finger on a city of permanent prog
ress and you point to one surrounded
by fruitful farms and well kept farm
homes. Investment in any eommun-
fly is valued according to the develop.
ment Of its agriculture. It is the one
factor in the life of city and the one
factor in the life of city and the one
factor which shapens. its destiny
Commerce can not maintain a city
which draws its support from agricul-
ture unless that agriculture is pros
porous and permanent. 1t is easy to
establish cities where commerce cen
tiers its powers, but it is impossible
to support that commerce without az
riculture, Withdraw agriculture from
a city and there will remain no com
merce to maintain it.
Agriculture is the foundation of
trade and trade is the handspring of
commerce. Withdraw the former and
there will be no latter. Investments in
factories are unsafe in localities where
agriculture Is uncertain for the agri-
cultural wealth of any community is
one which contributes it's power and
Influence to every line of business: 1t
affects every individual, every bust
ness enterprise, stimulates trade, in
spires confidence, renews energies and
enhances values. 1t is stable-depend-
able. 1t gives hopes to the hopeless
and courage to the doubling. 1t quick
ems ambition, advances civilization and
improves opportunity.
Let there be a broadening of our
agriculture and our commerce SUI
premacy will be secure Houston Post.
