THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS PROVES
GREATEST PERIOR OF DEVELOP
MENTS IN THIS SECTION OF TEXAS

Speaking of progress and what II
takes TO show record, we are max
ing it.
In the past fifteen years the broad
Southplains has developed from
Notwithstanding scope of country
into one Of the most beautiful and
profitable farming countries in the
world With three rains season
our rich, sandy loan will make bet
ter crops than the average country
with rainfall of great deal more.
In conversation with r. c. Burns
and J. A. Wilson, two of the first set
tiers of this country, who now reside
in Lubbock, we find many interesting
things have happened in the way of
growth and settlement Of this coun-
try. Mr.. Burns came to the South
plains in the year of 1881, and at
that time was employed on the 900"
Ranch, owned by John Hensley. At
that time there were only four
houses in Lubbock County One be-
ing the sheep ranch located on the
Yellowhouse Canyon, which at the
present time is on the George Boles
ranch, the other three were built
about four miles northwest of the
present site of Lubbock. These
houses were at one time stores or
trading places on the old cross roads
between Fort Sumner, New Mexico,
and Colorado City, Texas, and were
owned by z. T. Williams and
Frenchman by the name Of De Quas-
ay.
In 1890 land was worth about fifty
cents per acre--that is land located
anywhere on the Southplains. In
1906, Mr.. Burns tells us that he pur-
chased a tract Of seven sections with
in two miles Of the present site of
the town Of Slaton, for the price Of
S1.50 per acre for four sections and
so per acre for three. At that time
this was the top price for South
plains land. Today at the very least
figures the same land is selling from
$50 TO as high as 500 per acre.
Mr.. Wilson tells US Of a trade he
once made when he got a section of
land within two miles Of the site of
the town Of ldalou. He gave the
fancy price Of $3.50 for the section
with the improvements. He later
sold the improvements and let the
land 60 back TO the State. Today we
are conservative in saying that the
land could not be bought for $50 per
acre. At another time Mr. Wilson
and his brother went in together
and purchased two sections four
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-07-13

miles south of Lubbock for $75. Mr..
+ Wilson then traded his half of the
/ land TO his brother for a saddle pony.
/ A short time later the brother traded
the two sections off for one mule.
Today the land, if it could be bought
for $50 per acre would be big bar
gain.
Only twenty years ago Mr.. Wilson
traded a pair of boots for two sec
tons Of land and they are worth this
very minute, or they will sell for a
total of S44,S00.
In the year 1891, the County of
Lubbock was organized The town
of Lubbock was an old roundup site.
At that time R. C. Burns owned
section which is today known as the
Overton addition to the town of
Lubbock. This was given to W. NJ.
Lay, provided he would enter the
race for the office of sheriff. Mr..
Lay ran and was elected sheriff. No
one probably deserves more credit
than our present tax assessor r. c.
Burns, who gave away part of the
town that is worth, without improve
ments, more than a half million dol
lars, for the upbuilding Of the coun-
".
Not more than fifteen years ago,
lots on the square in Lubbock sold
for SIS and $50 each. The lot on
which the Lubbock State Bank is To-
Gated at one time sold for $50;
those where the Citizens National
Bank is located sold for SIS In ff-
teen years this property has increas-
ed from a value Of Sl5 TO its present
value Of 100000
The first cotton ever grown on the
Plains came up voluntarily in the
Spring Of 1889 on the "I-o-A"
Ranch During the winter months
cattle were fed on cotton seed hauled
from Colorado City. In the spring
this cotton came up and developed
in the sod land without cultivation.
Last year Lubbock county alone gin
red and shipped out more than
twenty thousand bales Of this staple
crop. Outside of the cotton we ship
ped away over one hundred and six
ty-hve thousands bushels Of wheat,
and more than eight hundred and
ninety-six thousand bushels Of sor-
ghum grains. Besides this we sup
ply the world with Sudan grass seed.
Our poultry and egg industry
amounts to more than forty thou
sand dollars monthly
These are a few Of the reasons
why we boast Of our country. We
urge, while we have visiting farmers
with US, TO show them just what we
have and we feel confident that they
will not go away disappointed and
say that this paper has over-esti-
mated the great Southplains country.

Wheat Again Says;

Corn Also Weaker

Felt in Grains, and is
More Than Market Can
Absorb; Expect Late Rally

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The wheat mar
het was again weak and lower today,
closing with net losses for the day of
2@2Ac. This represented decline for
the week OF more than 1Oc bushel,
despite the fact that exporters had
been buyers and that export sales dur
ing the week had amounted to about
10000 bushels.
The trade was good deal puzzled over
the action of values, but It was the con-
sensus Of opinion that the big declines
had been due to heavy liquidation by dis
couraged longs which. combined with the
hedging pressure against receipts al pri-
mary points Of 1880, 900 bushels had
been more than the market could absorb.
Underlying sentiment regarding the i'm
mediate future was divided. although a

to believe that ultimately prices VIII ad-

y omen ifs Industry

One OF the distinguishing character
istics o! Japanese industry is the ex-
tent to which women and children are
utilized. This has been largely due
to the lack Of restrictions on the en-
ployment Of this class Of labor and to
the fact that Industrial development
has Been along lines in which such
labor could be proftaDly utilized The
prcdominance Of the silk spinning and
cotton textile industries may be cited
as examples
In 1918 it was estimated that over
so per cent Of the exports OF Japan
we're The result OF women's work. and
that women factory operatives num-
bered more than $50 900, or about 60
per cent of the total number employed.
Accepting this figure as approximately
correct, u is clear that this is a most
important factor IN The Japanese labor
However. it is believed that the
more recent increase in the number
and variety OF industries and the
growth Of industries such as iron and
steel manufacture, IN which female
labor cannot be protitaby utilized,
have considerably decreased this per-
Expression During Var
The great expansion in the size and
number of japanese industries during
the period 1915 20 1919 has had con
siderable influence or the labor situa-
ton and has contributed to the indus
trial unrest which characterized the
period. Complete statistics showing
the extent OF this expansion are not
available, but i. is stated that during
the period 1871 TO 1917 there were
started 1i.l12 new factories, giving
employment to 272.606 persons, and in
addition o,49S factories increased their
equipment, with the resulting cnl-
ployment Of 1906 new workmcn. In
asmuch As the greater part Of the ex-
pansion took place after 1917, it is
clear that the increase must have been
very large. |. must be borne in mind,
however. that as a result OF the fnan-
cial crisis OF 1920 a large number of
these factories were compelled to close.

Germany Seeks to Regain
Trade in South Africa

That Germany is making strenuous
efforts to regain its trade with South
Africa is evident from the trade re-
turns for the year 1920 and the in
creased activity Of its traders and
shipping companies in this market
during the last year.
During the latter part of 1920 the
combined Woerman and German West
African Steamship Company inaugu-
rated a steamship service between
Hamburg and Bremen and South
African ports. Their vessels carry
passengers and operate on a monthly
schedule, calling at Rotterdam, Las
Palmas, Luderitz Bay and Walfsch
Bay on both their outward and home
ward voyages.
About the same time the German
government reestablshed its consular
representation in South Africa This
representation consists of a consul gen-
eral, a consul and vice consul. For
several months they were established
in Cape Town, eventually moving to
Pretoria. 1t is the intention to es-
tablish permanent consulate at Cape
Town at later date.
The imports from Germany into
South Africa during the year 1919 were
valued at Sl45, 4S8, and exports from
South Africa to Germany at $l,401 ,907.
During the year 1920 imports from
Germany rose to S4,312,000, while ex-
ports to Germany amounted to $2,4SO,-
oOO. The latter figure would have been
much larger if suitable means Of
financing the sale of South African
produce to Germany could have been
arranged
The principal imports from Germany
in 1920, in the order Of their i'm
portance and their respective values,
were as follows: Pianos, 1922 900;
other musical instruments, 1899, 000
cutlery, S235,000; enamel ware, S243,-
600; fencing wire, 5000 900: toys, $780,
900; general hardware, $4,000; earth
enware, S146,000; industrial machinery,
S97 900; wearing apparel, $4,000.
Other articles which figured promi-
nently in the imports from Germany
were plows, haberdashery and mil
linery, jewelry, silver and plated ware,
fancy goods. sewing machines, clocks
and Watches mechanics tools, drugs
and chemicals.
In 1913 Germany exported to South
Africa merchandise to the value of
s16.562 900, and imported South African
products to the value OF s10,501,0 900.
