Cotton In the Arid Regions
To the Editor of the Houston Post
Crenshaw Texas December
15. Shall wo go West? This is
a question that a great many
people have been asking thorn
solves from time to time and
from year to year since away
back as far as the memory can
reach. Shall we continue to
rent or go to some new country
and make an honest effort to own
a home? Many an Easterner
has asked his old womau that
question and it is being an-
vassed from night to night
arouud tho hearthstone of many
a good fumily.
It is a serious questiou. Thoro
is plenty of rich level prairlo
land in the West awaiting the
man with the hoe but the lack
Is In rainfall. However tho
people of these Western plains
have learned that cotton will
stand more dry weather than
uny other crop known. Hereto-
fore the supposition has been
that when corn would not do
well it was useless to try to
farm; but experience has taught
us different. Cotton will grow
where corn will not do so well.
Cottou has a long tap root and
will withstand more high wind
and hardships than anything
that can be planted. There is a
good honest living in tho West
for the thousands of pontuppeo
pie of the East. The great
trouble has been that people
coming hero do not adapt them-
selves to tho conditions existing
in a semi arid climate
We have fought against nature
and tried to dictate to climatic
conditions and raise our pot
crops whether suited to tho
peculiar soil and climate or not.
We now realize that any field
ciop that will uot withstand a
great deal of high wind and dry
weather is best lot alone in this
country. Anything with a low
stubby stalk and a strong root
such as kufiir corn maize and
the sorghums willmakeapiofit-
able crop. Nature teaches this
lesson plainly. Tho trees are
very low and stout and every-
thing planted makes a low
branching growth.
Cotton will do more than any
one other agency to build up a
new country. Where there is
cotton there are credit mor
chants and whore the credit
system is in vogue people will
flock common laboring people
such as settle up new countries
in the South.
I know of thousands of acres
of land in Western Texas where
there is not a grub or oven a
switch and as level as the paper
that I am writing this en. If
desirable the rows could be
made a mile long or the entiio
width of the farm. They could
be made ten miles long as for
that matter and as straight as
your eye could over look down.
This land can bo bought for $5
per acre on five years time. I
bought 100 acres of it. I have
none for sale; I have no kinfolks
or friends who have any for
sale. It is here however in
any quantity vou want. Thoro
is health here also and good
water; but I am taking up too
much of this good editor's space.
You will have to see him and
apologize; it is for your good and
not mine. If you write to mo
don't forget that stamped
envelope. John Ballew.
U. S. Wool Stocks.
The annual wool review of tho
Cotton and Wool Reporter states
that tho conditions of 1900 wore
all conducive to the piling up of
an extraordinary stock of unsold
wool at tho close of tho year.
Not only was tho domestic yield
some 10000000 pounds largor
than in 189U but our imports
trom abroad increased 79000000
pounds whilo tho sales in tho
three princijial markots of tho
country fell off about 278000000
pounds. Conditions itavo tended
in tho opposite direction tho
past year. While thoro has
boon some increaso in tho sizo of
tho domestic clip thoro has been
a substantial fulling off in tho
imports and the sales in the
principal markots have increased
to a very noteworthy degree;
the sales in Boston for instunce
have boon about 90 por cent
largor in 1901 than they woro in
1000 increasing from 1-10975100
pounds to 272738900 pounds.
As a result of tho changed condi-
tions that have prevailed during
tho last 12 months tho amount
of wool in the country exclusive
of wool in bond is now 177191
000 pounds as against 294.587
888 pound uvetir ago a decrease
of 117340288 pounds or about
por cent. Including wool in
bond tho stock now on hand is
212203080 pounds against'852-
247889 pounds last voar a do-
clino of ovor 140000000 pounds.

Josfeph F. Johnson who lives
in Oregon and has been forty
years a shepherd and has raised
sheop trotting horses and Jor-
soy cattle. Ho is and ovor was
deoply interested in everything
calculated to promote the gener
al welfare of the people of this
section. In tho course of a very
interesting conversation con
coming sheep he said in effect:
"Tho most profitable kind to
handle in this county for wool
and mutton are those known as
Vormout Merino. Whenever
our range becomes so poor and
exhausted with yourlongleggod
coarse-wooled mutton breeds
that they are forced to travel
ten miles to feed and thew to
hustle back for water I would
deem it advisable to reduce and
put Merino sheep in an incis
ure. Mr. Johnson has been a
close student of the sheep hus-
bandry and all subjects related
to it. I found that ho thoroughly
understood tho effect ol "tho
skirting clause" in the tariff of
1897 boing ono of the compara-
tively few whom I have met
who realized tho true inward
ness of It. Ho was an original
Ropublican und always a sup
porter of a protective tariff that
protects tho growor.

Tho Chicago Live Stock World
in speaking of experiment
stations says among other
things: "Told in technical lan
guage reports of oxporimonts

and comparatively llttlo of tho
possible benefit is being dorivod
by tno farming community at
largo from those experiments.
"Could farmers but be inducod
to make an annual visit to thoso
stations great good would result.
Auricular and ocular demon-
stration is always convincum
and having seen rosults of ex
peri in cuts farmers would be in
a position to avail thomsolvos of
tho benefits to bo dorived. Such
a jaunt would bo fur more
remunerative than a visit to tho
State fuir. but no srood reason
oxists why tho railroad com
panies should not make an ex
cursion rate covering both
points which aro genorully not
far distant. "By all means let
farmers visit tho experiment
stations at froriuont intervals.
Thor money Is paying for tho
work and tlioy are entitled to
tho benefits." -
