From replies received to kilograms,
it appears that the damage from thrip
was not arrested, as it was thought to
have been by wellposted men, but has
continued to reduce the very low con-
dition Of the crop as given for March
/, effecting a total reduction in cOndi-
tion of 1916 points.
A reduction of 400 acres Is noted in
NueCes county due to the fact that dry
farming prevails there and the conse-
qucnt wide planting of the rows rem
ders three acres equivalent to but one
in other localities where irrigation IS
practiced, fact not allowed for in
the former report.
Estimates received as to the acreage
in Webb county are 4.100, 1920, 1890
and 4,500, and as the government es-
innate was $500 and in order to be
thoroughly conservative, the acreage
for Webb county is placed at 4,300
acres. This makes a total reduction
of 500 acres and reduces the estimated
acreage for Texas to 1O,O57 acres. No
reason for any further reduction in
acreage appears.
Laredo, in Webb county, it will be
noted has about 42.8 per cent of the
total acreage, which, other things be-
ing equal, would give 1,799 cars. The
percentage of condition for the county
is slightly higher than that for the
State, however, and it is probable that
at this time the prospect in Webb
county is for not less than 1900 cars.

The percentage of car owners who drive for pleasure only is growing smaller every year." says George C, Hubbs. assistant general sales man ager of Dodge Brothers, Detroit
 Motor cars today are an economic necessity and this is true particularly of the cars in our class. Even the wealthy man, who has one or more big cars for pleasure touring is turn ing to the smaller car with its light upkeep for business purposes.
 We had striking example of this immediately after the last time Gal weston was swept by the sea. Nat urally we looked for a slump in busi- ness in the Galveston territory, but instead our representatives there made demands for more cars and specified roadsters.
