few days ago from Austin. While
away he visited his brother In South
Texas, who was recently. or is now

roamed about the woods where they
used to hunt 'possums. They went to
the old swimmln hole on the creek
and followed the muskrat trails
about the creek banks They dug red
worms In the old barn lot and visited
the perslmmon patch and the haw
thlcket:
And traycrsed as then, the dense
forest through
And shook down the vines where the
muscadines grew,
even boldly walked into the melon
pftch. but instinctiyely stopped and
crawled a part Of the way, Just to get
the old feeling back for spell. They
had good time at being boys again.
Judge Higgins, while there noted
the scarcity Of food and feed stuffs
gr, wn there this year and says those
people will have to buy from us and
he urges the West Texas farmers to
save every head Of maize, kaffir, fet-
erita and sorghum, for the people In
She other sections of the State. lie
says the crops are not 80 good any
where az in West Texas. but we must
not waste what we have made.

TEXAS NEEDS COTTON MILLS


Unanswerable argument In favor
Of building more cotton mills In Tex
as has been given by Dr. a. NJ heau
Of Houston, who visited the State
Fair and called upon Farm a. Ranch
| He is Interested In a cooperative
plan OF building cotton manufacture
Ing plants wherein the producer may
exchange his cotton for stock.
He says Of the need Of more
cotton manufacturing plants In Tex
as:
Texas produces practically one
third Of the entire cotton crop OF the
South, and up to the present has been
satisfied with shipping 30 per cent
Of It to Eastern mills and foreign
mills.
Texas will raise this year approx
imately 100000 bales Of cation and
Its present mills, fifteen In number
will use less than 10000 bales or
about one per cent Of the cotton
raised
"The small state OF North Caro-
lima will produce approximately
s94, 900 bales Of cotton and viii man
ufacture 9O9,723 bales OF cotton this
year.
This Is Texas opportunity to In
augurate textile manufacturing on
large scale, for Texas needs cotton
