the north and of the tropics flourish
alike in this State. The fig is common,
the peach unrivaled. the nectarine. ounce
and grape luxuriant, and these. side by
side, grow in the same sun and soil with
the plum, apple and pawpaw. The
orange, lemon and lime, the pineapple
and olive, ripen together. Berries are in
great variety; the mulberry. dewberry,
whortleberry and gooseberry grow wild
and in great profusion; and nuts-pecans,
walnut, hickory. etc-are very abundant.
Garden vegetables Of every description
are cultivated with success"
This may be correct, but aside from
the groves of pecan trees, and water
melons, muskmelons and cantaloups-
not mentioned by the gazetteer-the
writer saw none of these fruits, vege-
tables or berries growing. Corn was
raised for home consumption, tobacco
for personal use, the cobs furnishing
pipes and the husks wrappers for cigar
cites. The cattle and hogs ran wild.
Hog meat" fresh or cured az bacon
and hams, corn bread and sweet potatoes,
were the staple articles of diet, and
where there were Mexicans there was
sure to be red peppers. White skinned
onions resembling the Texas or Bermuda
onions Of today, come from Ell Pasco.
Along the river bottoms the trees were
festooned with wild grape vines. and
from the grapes a native wine was made,
like claret in color, but with more body
and slightly astringent. In some places
white grapes resembling malagas were
grown from foreign cuttings brought by
the monks who established the early mis-
sions. 1t is said of the Franciscan monks
that they carried sword in one hand
and Bible in the other, and came first
with Columbus to plant the cross along
with the flag of Spain. The Franciscans
were Jealous in their missionary work
among the natives, and when Spanish
settlement was made they would, after
founding their mission work there, ex-
pand their field of operations and estab-
fish another mission dedicated to an hon.
ored saint. The mission of San Jose
was founded about 1920; Conception in
1881; the Alamo or Mission San Antonio
de Valero, San Juan de Capistrano, in
1871, and San Francisco de la Espada,
established in 1870.
Outside of the few, and small, cities
conditions We're decidedly primitive.
Most of the dwellings, and the officers
quarters in the frontier posts, were built
of logs, but in construction We're adapted
to the climate and very comfortable, or
could be made so. 1t used to be said
however, that some people were so shift
less, and their cabins so open to the
weather, that dog kicked from under
the table could make his exit in what
ever direction he took C. A. ?.

Children ON
FOR FLETCHER'S
G ASTO RIA
A BUSINEss-LIKE LEGISLATOR.
From Practical Politics7

The introduction of the segregated
budget system into every department of
the Commonwealth is strongly urged bv
Representative William F. Rurnells of
NeWburyport as one means of bringing
about economy in the management of
the various branches of the State SER
vice. He contends that if the segregat-
ed budget system works we'll for NUM-
cipalities, it would be equally as bene-
fetal for the State. And in that conten.
ton, he has the support of every genu-
Inc economist on Beacon Hill. By com
pelllng the various departments to item
lze every anticipated item of expense
for the year, Mr.. Runnells believes that
saving OF thousands of dollars would
be accomplished In every department,
saving, he says, that would materially
lower the annual State tax for every
municipality in the Commonwealth.
Rep. Ruhnells is an ideal type of bust
ness man in politics. He is the treas
urer and general manager of one of the
largest foundry and machine establish
ments on the North Shore, a concern
which owes its success principally to
Mr.. Runnell's energy and keen business
intellect. Although he is a first-year
man In the House, he is regarded as one
of the best Informed on all legislative
matters. He is studious and painstak-
ing, and one of that type who looks be-
fore he leaps, acquiring all the facts be-
fore taking a stand upon any measure.
Every act shows his business ability.
He conducts his share of the State bust
ness with the same tact that he does
business in his home city of Newbury-
port. He got his training as public
official in that city, where he served
with distinction in both branches of the
city government. In both branches he
was the presiding officer.

The change wrought in what was un-
productive desert land by irrigation and
modern methods is marvellous. An arti-
Gle in Everybody's Magazine few years
ago said: "There is more corn land in
Texas than in Illinois, more wheat land
than in the Dakotas, while in fruit lands
Texas has California submerged and
heaped over and buried out of sight"
The rice fields of Texas are another i'm
portant feature and japanese farmers
are said to be making fortunes growing
the cereal. One man recently had 5000
acres in rice, and the total yield was up
wards of 400, 900 bushels, which sold for
more than $350,00O. Onions are another
big crop, and Texas onions have practi-
cally destroyed the market for Bermuda
oni ons. Growers are said to have real
lied from $3.50 to $500 net per acre from
land that few years before was bought
for ST. so an acre. These are but small
part of the agricultural products of
Texas, and it has the greatest oil fields
in the world.
A Gazetteer published in 1857 says:
Cotton is the great staple of Texas. The
sugar cane grows luxuriantly through
out the whole level region, and tobacco
throughout the State. The indigenous
indigo of Texas is also an important
staple and of very superior quality.
Breadstuffs of every description are pro-
duced easily and abundantly in every
district, while fax and hemp are pro.
