Vaccination Prevents Charlton.

Austin, Tex.-Reports received this
week by the state health department
from charbon-infected districts of
Texas prove that vaccination is a
preventive of the disease.
Vaccination earlier in the season,
it is claimed by the department, would
have prevented the epidemic which is
now raging. The herds which were
vaccinated at the proper time have
not been touched by Charlton, but
those not yaccinated have died by
scores.
The health department estimates
that the loss to cattle from Charlton
SO far this year is close to 100000
and that the total amount will go to
$1,000, 600 before the end of the year.

TEXAS WILL MARKET BUMPER 1874 CROP
Wheat Production Alone win Be
100000 Bushels In Excess of
Texas Production Last Year.

Texas will market an all round
bumper crop in 1914. With the exeep.
ton OF potatoes, rice and one or two
other products, the crop for this year
Will be largely in excess, quantitative-
ly, of that of 1913.
The corn crop of Texas for this
year, as estimated from reports of
July /, will amount to 139,00O,O0O
bushels, or 18,714,0OO bushels greater
than the 1913 Texas corn crop. The
wheat crop of the State this year will
exceed that of last year by 5,437 1000
bushels and the oats crop will exceed
that of last year by nearly 100000
bushels.
The bureau of crop estimates in CO.
operation with the weather bureau Of
the United States department of agri-
culture issued report through the
Houston weather bureau Wednesday
showing the general crop condition of
Texas compiled from July reports
with comparisons with the crops of
the same products for the entire Unit
ed States and with comparisons with
corresponding conditions at the same
date last year.
AS the report is for crops and not
conditions in the fields, no cotton esti-
mates are included.
Hay, alfalfa and pasture conditions
that year are shown to be far better
than last year and hay and pasture
conditions in Texas are much better
than for the United States at large.
Cabbage is in slightly better condi-
ton this year and onions and toma.
toes are not quite so good as last year.
Apples are in better condition by a
small percentage and peaches make
less than half the showing of last
year. Blackberries make a better
showing this year.
The melon and watermelon crops
show slightly inferior condition to
those crops of last year and sorghum
shows decided improvement.
