book. II would bring hundreds Of
people 10 our town daily, and would
mean a mutual benefit to the town
and country.
We believe that this can be done
as successfully as the poultry and
egg business has been built up here.
We have IL upon good authority that
the poultry and egg brsiness in Lub-
bock has developed during the pas.
two years to several times the pro-
portions Of former years, and this
condition has been brought about
largely by the good market here.
People raise chickens and turkeys
knowing that they win find a ready
market for them in Lubbock. and
come for miles with wagon loads Of
them. and they always get good
price for them. The same could be
made true with all other produce, II 4
proper market can be made for IL
Now is the proper time 20 launch
the move and let the producers all
over the South plains know that the
market is here for any amount and
we will be doing a good thing for
both Lubbock and the surrounding
territory.
Lubbock is the place for big
produce house
II is the center Of large territory
with railroad facilities from every
direction
Make Il the central market place
for everything.

MORE WET WEATHER IN
THE LUBBOCK COUNTRY

Since cur last issue there has been
more rain. in the Lubbock country
and the Lubbock trade territory is
thoroughly wet. Some hail has been
reported from different parts Of the
county. but the territory covered by
the hail has not been large so far,
hence the damage is comparatively
light.
The general outlook was never
brighter in this section of the plains
for heavy crop yield. and there is
going to be heavy acreage planted.
Some Of the early planted crops
will have to be planted over on ac-
count of the heavy rains packing
the ground and covering the seed too
deep for It to come through.

 Hogs ares about the best money crop a farmer can produce. They grow quickly and there is a certain market for them. They can be turned into money as easily and as readily as cot ton. kThey are money crop. But we mustNdo something here to eradicate the germs of cholera When a hog gets sick he crawls off under shed or an old cotton house or some sucn place and dies, and the germs persist there and infect other hogs They are spread by stray dogs too, and by bug yards. A steady course of giving at tention promptly to sick hogs will in the course of a couple of years make the county just about cholera free. With the losses from cholera elimin ated, the growing of .hogs will offer larger financial rewards-not only to the farmers but it will make this county preferred buying place, be

 It has been learned in Greenville that Judge Clayton of this federal dis1 trict has ruled that city municipalities who have bonded indebtedness are compelled by law to assess city prop erty 100 per cent. instead of 50 per cent. as has been heretofore. This will
 make an additional revenue of ap- proximately 5000 annually for the city of Greenville The taxable property of Greenyille is fixed at about $2O0000O. This increased revenue will make 1t possible for the city of Greenville to- be on a better financial basis, and i. will enable the city fathers to improve city streets. place the fire department on a better and more efficient basis and increase the school appropriation.

Thia lumber is coming from the vicinity of Knoxville, some 30 miles below here, where there are several saw mills. Lumbermen state that the facilities in- stalled by the city of Tuscaloosa for handling Warrior river traffic are great saving in every way, and the charge of 75 cents a thousand for transferring the lumber from barge to freight cars is reasonable enough.
