be developed by this comparison is that
in the South Texas territory with n
longer season and a greater variety OF
crops under irrigation, the possibilities
for producing an equal amount Of wealth
are increased. Or, TO state the PROPOSE
ton another way, the individual will
not require the same acreage in South
Texas for providing his living and an
income, as in the agricultural counties
Of North and Central Texas where gen
eral farming is practiced.
Keeping in mind that an average Of
about 30 acres in the irrigated truck
farming district will sustain a pOpula-
ton under equally prosperous conditions
as so to 70 acres in the more highly
developed agricultural counties men,
toned, it would mean that the 10,500,-
900 acres Of unimproved, fertile, tillable
land in South Texas, is capable of sus-
tanning approximately a population OF
100000 people.
IAN ambitious program Of eoOpera-
ton to increase agricultural wealth, nee
esarily involved another activity. which
will provide ways and means for the
profitable marketing Of the increased
products. San Antonio business men
must devise ways and means Of promot-
ing q business organization which will
result in cooperative marketing, and in
telligent merchandising Of the products
Of agricultural industry. To promote
production without perfecting system
for marketing. or creating a clearing
house, as it were, for marketing through
the medium Of 50 large a commercial
center as San Antonio, would be to de-
feat the purpose Of the entire program.
II is obvious that business men accus-
toned to business methods in mcrchan-
disins, owe q great obligation to the az

sified from study Of comparison of the
cities of Dallas, Waxahachie, Greenyillc,
Cleburne, Waco, Georgetown, Temple
and Mckinney, thriving, prosperous
cities, whose principal factors of wealth
production are drawn from these seven
highly developed agricultural counties.
"a study of the population of the
group of counties cited for comparison
is also extremely interesting. Without
attempting anything more than approx
mate accuracy, it may be stated that in
4 general way, the. relation of acreage
and population in the seven highly de-
veloped agricultural counties named,
would probably represent anywhere from
80 to IS acres per farmer.
This is based upon general farming

Great Agricultural Wealth

A y IDEA of the great wealth of
"A San Antonio's agricultural area
is given in a statement by the
agricultural department of the San An
tonic Chamber of Commerce which re-
yeals that there are more than 1880
900 acres of unimproved, fertile, tillable
land in South Texas which is capable Of
sustaining approximately a population
of 100000 people. The counties of
Dimnit, La Sale. Webb and "a
valla, according to the 1920 census.
showed improved land in farms amounting
to 1OS,4S7 acres. Total land in farms
farms 2,5G1 400. 1t is evident, there
fore, that for every acre in cultivation
in these five counties, there are "a
acres of highly productive land available
for additional development. In COMPARE

pop" CONCERT OF
GREAT UKRAINIANS

Popular prices and the world fam.
Gus Ukrainian Chorus will mark the
Sunday concert of this famous
group of singers who have been
called a human symphony" and
who bring a fascinating, colorful
art to the Washington Auditorium
next Sunday. Tickets are on sale
at the T. Arthur Smith concert bu-
reau in kits music store.
Those lovely Ukrainian folk-songs
they will sing for us again include
colorful hymns and canticles, filled
with mystic vision of the Far
East. The Ukraine, the warm
southern country Of the former
Russian Empire, has, in it's folk
music, a blend half Christian. half
Pagan, making a music that Is epic
in character. yet sweetly simple,
with a childish impetuous quality
that belongs to this people.
What the Ukrainian Chorus does
to the themes they sing, is the
surprising thing. Alexander Koshetz
is a master of symphony, as we
understand the instrumental group.
He has arranged much of this mu-
sic, giving to the human voice the
many orchestral parts, weaving
them In and out, with huge dy-
manic climaxes, with soft humming
cradle songs that range from whirl.
wind measures to tenderest dreams.
They have a custom of singing
carols beneath the windows on
Christmas and New Year Eve, some
of the music of Christian origin,
others quantity celebrating the rites
of the Sun god. Or, in the annual
dance festivals. we find pure Slav-
beings, the Mist, the Hare. the
Beetle, the Poppy, the Cornflower,
or Green Noise, typifying the
trees. SO we find, as usual. that
even Wagner's "Waldweben" has
a forerunner.

the Blue Room, the President and
the men of the party taking their
coffee in the Green Room. After
enjoying a few moments chat with
Mrs. Coolidge, Queen Marie turned
to the ,other ladies of the party,
who came up in small groups to
talk with her. Soon after the
men joined the ladies, President
and Mrs. Coolidge gave the signal
for the party to break up by re-
firing to their private apartments,
the royal guests leaving imme-
diately afterward.
President Laughs
After dinner President Coolidge
and Prince Nicholas conversed at
length, both laughing repeatedly.
The dinner was in seven courses,
and was served by colored walters,
a Southern American touch which
the queen enjoyed, for she has
found the negroes very interesting.
The dinner began with anchovy
canape, followed by consomme.
Lobster in cream made the fish
course and the principal dish was
fillet mignon. Salad, Ice cream,
fruits and coffee finished the menu,
with an unusual and very delicious
sauce of crushed figs served with
the ices.
A service OF gold forks and
spoons was used, with pearl-handled
knives. The service plates were
trimmed with gold, with a broad
band of blue inside, and in the
center, the seal of the United
States. Two goblets OF heavy cut
glass were at each place. The
initials "U. S." marked the heavy
damask napkins, and the table
cloth.

a celebration of the signing of the
