San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-09-23

The farmers located in Southwest Texas are COM
mencing to enjoy great prosperity, and will continue
to, according to our judgment for years to come due
to high priced cotton and cheap Mexican labor The
farm lands in the old settled districts of the Eastern
States and the black land districts of Central and
North Texas have been in cultivation so long that it
has gotten to where they will not produce near the yield
that they did few years ago. and the boil weevil has
infested the entire South but the damage is likely due
to the boil weevl in the districts that have compare
lively dry summers. Where the rainfall is so much
as sn East Texas and the Eastern States during the
summer months, the cotton yield will be light do
not believe that the South will produce on an average
for the next five to ten years. much as ten million
bales of cotton per year, and the demand great
for cotton that is bound to keep the price high The
labor in the Eastern States due to the coored people
going north by the hundreds of Thousands is
and high priced; and where they have to fertze it is
expensive account of the high priced fertilizer All
things considered believe that cotton will average
at least 25c per pound for long series of years. and
the territory located south and southwest of San An
tonic is the best adapted to cotton due to the light
rain fall and the climatic conditions, of any district
of Texas or the entire South In this part of Texas
due to the proximity to the part OF Mexico that has
the most densely populated districts of any part that
borders onto the United States, practically
Southwest Texas with abundant supply of cheap
labor So you readily there is going to be
great prosperity among the farmers and prosperity
among the farmers ma kes prosperity among the busl-
ness interests. The business people located in the
cities of San Antonio and Corpus Christi should make
great effort to have Southwest Texas settled with
good class of farmers but am sorry to have to say
that there are great many business people in the
city of San Antonio who claim that Southwest Texas
is not successful cotton farming country; in other
words they are talking against their own interest
and not only talking against their own interests but
they say something that they do not know what they
talking about when they say it is not good farm
ing country All the good rich lands that have good

farmed. The lands that are now selling, located
in the northeastern part of La Sale County near the
little city of Los Angeles that being built and which
we expect to make one of the most model up-to-date
and beautiful towns in Texas, has practically the same
rainfall as Bishop and Nueces County. Based on Gov
eminent report up to about year ago. Corpus Christi
had approximately 2512 inches of the previous 2Oyear
average; San Antonio %, and Hondo about 271a.
Hondo is about the distance west Los Angeles

but they have rain than the territory tributary to
Los Angeles due to the fact that is about 60 miles
north and account of the trade winds blowing from
the southeast to the northwest which causes it to rain
as much in Los Angeles it does at Bishop, and yet
Los Angeles much 60 miles due west OF Bishop
Hondo has more rain than Corpus Christi by two
inches, and at least 80 miles farther west than Cor
pus Christi The best lands that located between
Banger and Miles that are in cultivation will readily
bring $500 to $4,000 per acre. The farmers say
that they have averaged over one-thrd of bale OF
cotton to the during the past ten years in this dis
tric where they have the best soil and sbsoi Ellis
County farmers will not produce to exceed onethird
bale the best land in Ellis County, The best farm
that are farming the best land in Williams County
will not average that. The best farmers IN
Nueces County will average one-half bale per
acre and when the heavy black loan soil that we are
selling is put into cultivation after it has been
farmed year or two, our best farmers will easily
average one-half bale per acre. and the best land
bargains that now to be had in Texas are the ands
that selling, and am glad to say that the
writer, F. T. Bishop, has never sold land in any dis
tric and recommended it for purpose that 1T did
not come up to my recommendations.
Please remember that when we go to colonize a
country we put it on the map on big scale. We sell
it based on undeveloped prices at an extremely low
price to the best class of sureenough farmers that put
it in cultivation and farm it scientifically, then we
proceed to build roads around each section secure
good schools and churches promote and build model
towns nearby and the above reasons are why the peo-
pie who buy land from us make so much money on
what they buy in the form of interest on their invest
ment and when they get ready to sell they are able
to do so at big profit.
Now if you are looking for wealth, health and
prosperity and place to make a desirable home, or
want to buy for speculation or Investment, we have
what you want. Our soil is richer than the richest
lands in Nueces County What we say about the soil
and the rainfall back by United States Gov
eminent reports and the Government did not get these
reports out to assist the F. Z. Bishop Land Company
We are just quoting you facts that the farmers
and business men should and ought to get acquainted
with.
If you are in the market to buy land, we would be
glad to pay your expenses to San Antonio to see the
land and return.
For further particulars and information, write us
at our San Antonio office.
