Importance of Lubbock County As To
Agriculture Is Realized More Than
Ever Before, Says Geo. W Briggs

Extreme care was used in the
gathering and packing Of the Lub-
book County exhibit, arSi when he
exhibit arrived, both Jennings and
Briggs vent TO work, and spent he
greater part Of four days. and some
of the nights in putting up an at
tractive exhibit. This, with the
quality Of the exhibit, put Lubbock
on top.
Sending the exhibit to Dallas year
after year has done much to adver-
tise Lubbock county When the first
exhibit was sent something like
ten years ago. very few people ever
knew where Lubbock was situated.
Today. Of the thousands who visit
The booth. very few are there who
have not a pretty good idea Of Lub-
book and the South Plains country.
The winning of first this year, has
cinched in minds Of many Of these
people that this is a real agricultural
country. In fact several men have
already come 20 this country, and
ore man at least has purchased a
farm.

Nothing succeeds like success, ac-
cording to George Briggs, who has
Just returned from the Dallas State
Fair. where Lubbock County won
first prize last week. Briggs wants
il made clear that J. W. Jennings
should receive the big end Of the
credit for this winning, as he only
helped put II up. and Jennings work
ed for weeks gathering the exhibit,
and preparing Il for the fair.
That the West Texas Counties
scored SO heavily in the fair this
year is accounted for ~ the fact
that they went after the premiums
this year with more purpose than
ever before. Heretofore. the greater
number Of the counties went 20 the
fair mostly for advertising purposes.
and made no big effort 90 be high
in the list Of premiums.
This year, however, u seems that
all the counties went after the
premiums, and West Texas not only
filled the score card carefully, but
had the quality also.

COTTON MAKING BETTER YIELD
Than FARMERS HAD EXPECTED
ALL ARE OPTIMISTIC AS FALL GATHERING SEASON
PROVES SUPERIORITY OF PLAINS SOIL
BELIEVED 1900 BALES WILL BE GINNED HERE
Hundred Bales Gnned Here Date and Not More Than
Half the Crop Has Been Cathered-Ideal Weather Has
Been Source of Much Comfort for Lubbock.

and according to estimates given
out by local ginners. cotton buyers,
and agricuturalists, all boiled down,
enlarged, reduced. expanded and
summed up together, gives rise ;"
the belief that better than seventt
two hundred bales will be ginned in
Lubbock this season. and with half
that mark reached already. and the
crop just about half gathered, IL
looks as though a reign of prosper
ity win be realized here in spite Of
the disgruntled cry Of a pessimistic
few who declared a few weeks ago
that the cotton crop was totally
ruined
II happens that increased acreage
and good farming saved the situa-
ton this time, and those who have
been on the plains for a few years
will admit that the occurrence OF
that something" that keeps the
plains country on the map makes an
annual trip TO this section.
Increased acreage Of cotton this
year has been 80 great and the
yield per acre so good that there is
reason for much optimism among
our farmers, and it is good 10 note
that they are enjoying a return of
more prosperity.

"Much better than | had expcc-

reporter has heard from more than
dozen farmers within the past
week of whom he inquired as to the
outcome Of their cotton crops.
II was reported Monday morning
that i'm the neighborhood of thirty
six hundred bales had been ginned
TO date IN Lubbock, which further
emphasizes the fact that as cotton
producer the Plains country is a big
number even during dry times

flying to know that II has stood the

was ever known on the Plains before
is expressed by men Of every pro
fession, trade or business.
In 1919 there were 1900 bales
Of cotton ginned at Lubbock; q
1920 the yield was raised TO $500,
and the dry weather Of 1921 put
the yield Of that season down 10
the 5000 mark. and even then the
