Interesting Statistics " From
Farmers Congress Will jt* ~
.I • of Interest to Farmers '
Accordingto^ the information
furnished by the U. S. Depart*
ment of Commerce and Labor,
83,497,900 gallons of cottonseed
oil were produced in Texas iri
1909. This was worth approxi-
mately $13,3^9,160, This _is a
considerable amount of money
^and the market whicK^. demands
this product is an important one
U
This fact has led men
wish to see ^eomargarine take
the place o^butter to make it
appear that^he manufacture of
%• oleomargarine furnishes one of
•i the greatest reasons for this
market demand. But sueh is
not the case. In fact the value
of the cottonseed oil-usetHir the
manufacture of this product is
1 so small in comparison that it is
not worthy of the least consider-
ation; especially when the value
of the dairy products of the state
areconsidered.
We do not Jiave the. staiisiics
for 1909 but in 1908
the cottonseed oTf

used \
.manufacture of oleomargarine in
this country was $499,458.42.
The value of all the cottonseed
oil produced in 1909 was approx-
imately $63,331,400, This means"
that less than* one per cent of
the cottonseed oil sold was used
* in making oleomargarine.'
According to the Department
^ort, Texas produced about 20
Ljat of all the cottonseed oil
"used in oleomargarine returned
to the cotton farmers of Texas
the comparatively Small amount
of $99,891.68.
According to figures compiled
by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, the value of the
butter produced in TexasTn,1908
•was $13,025,936. or for every
dollar's worth of cottonseed oil
used in making oleomargarine
the cows of the state returned
oyer $130 worth of dairy pro-
ducts.
These are facts which the
farmers of Texas should care-
fully consider before they lend
their support to any movement
which discourages dairying. An
increase in the production of
lairy products'ln'Texas will be
Just 130 times of greater value
than an increase in the produc-
tion of oleomargorine. This is
[not even taking into consider-
ation the value of dairying in
buildingup the fertility of the
soil, thus making the land more
productive in growing cotton.
The farmers of Texas should
awake to the benefits of dairy-
ing and" should use every legiti-
mate means to foster and pro-
mote this important industry.

who has yepresented his district
in . Congress during the. fifty**
seventh, fifty-eighth; fifty-ninth,
sixtieth and sixty-first sessions,
and who will serve out his term
in the "Sixty-Second Congress,
tonight announced himself as a
candidate for the United States
Senare at\the coming "primaries
in Texas.
Congressman Randell's ^an-
nouncementis contained- in the
following statement given to. The.
News tonight: '-flP.
"To the Democrats of Texas-
Having served the State of Tex-
as as one of its Representatives
In Congress for the last, ten
years, I am deeply impressed
with the favorable prospects and
the threatening dangers now
confronting the Democratic
party, and challenge the at-
tention of every patriotic citheri.

by the people were never
so 1 active in the formation of
their schemes, 4ior more deter-
mined to rule the Government
by special, interests than they
"are- now.
"The establishment of equal
rights, the overthrow of special
privilege, the necessity for
DemScfatic tariff reform the re-
turn to policies of economy, the
elimination of corporation con-
trol of politics, the destruction
political bossisjn, the limitation
of the "National Government
within its constitutional powers,
the election of "United States
Senators by direct popular vote,
the consprvation of our natural
.resources, the suppression of
monopoly and unlawful combi-
nations and the prohibition of
Senators and Representatives
from receiving gifts, fees or
Compensation from public ser-
vice corporations or others 'in-
terested in legislation,..•'a^T'^b-
jects of the most vita,! Wpor-
tance, as well as others that I
do not minimize.
"The Democrats control the
next Congress in the House and
will retain supremacy there so
long, as the party proves faithful
to the people. In a desperate
effort to continue their control
of this Government and to ex-
ploit the resources and product-
ion of the country, there is a
thoroughly organized and power
fui combination of Special inter-
terests and politicians in league
with them to Republicanize and
commercialize the Democratic
party, and to destroy the pres-
ent hope of patriotic reformers.-.
"Rowing that the. -enemy
have not yet. been routed from
the Senate and that the fight fo^*
supremacy tibete is all important,
and being painfully mindful of
the political situation in Texas,
the vital importance of the con-
test there, both to our people

Col. Randell is the majority

standing second to Chairman
Underwood. - .
• He came to Congress in 1901
to succeed Senator Bailey and
has become "conspicuous for his
determined attempts. to put
through a House controlled by
Speaker Cannon legislation that
would Prevent statesmen from
accepting gifts, fees or employ-
fnpnf from .public—seuvice-cor-

On the tariff, Representative
Randell stood in committee and
on the floor of the House with
the element""Of his party that
sought to, conform the Payne
bill to (the demands of the
National | Democratic platform,
and in the rules fight has stood
with the Democratic organisa-

ans who sought to break the
power of the Cannon organiza-
tion in th? House.
He fa'yors admission of Ari-
zona to Statehood, and is an
advocate jof the change of the
term^of Congress so that the
Congress elected in "Nwember

At 8 a. ,m. Monday morning
we were unloaded in the city of
Fort Worth, where the town
was full of Delegates, bound for
Mineral Wells, and visitors to
the Fat Stock Shciw. Here we
spent some eight hours looking
at the fine Fat Stock and taking
in the city from center to cer-
cumferance. We met while in
Fort worth a. number ":of old
friends from Falls County, and
other places, and had a very
good day. At three, p. m. we
left the burg for Mineral Wells,
and at five thirty we were emer-
ging from' the train in that
beautiful and picturesque city,
and here is the first time we had
our eyes open to the greatness
of the W. 0. W. for we- were in
afew^hours being in elbow
reach oi many many thousand of
the Choppers from all parts of
the State-of Texas. We* found
among them ranchmen farmers,
bankers,-- lawyers, preachers,
doctors, editors and men from
every walk of life^e&cpqt Booz'-
ers and gamblers.
We fourfd that more than- 2000.
delegates were there from J the

represented by about six hund-

women in Texas, (except- the

of business men and women
never congregated togeather in
the State before,. /

J. G. Tjhorton, a very prospers
stock farmer from near Estacado
was itf • town- Saturday and in
conversation with a Review re-
presentative said he^Itt sold
196 lbs of

people to come to his room iat"" . , t

about the South Plains and it-
certain ly was a pleasurg_XtQ—

tion. The *fact that Crosby
county made the best aVerag>S*~
crop to the Acre, was not knoWlf*
to me until my attention "was
called to that fact by Reporters
of a farm paper who was jjn
attendance a Mineral Wells."-He
stated that Crosby Co. made^the
best ayerage in the state on Cot-
ton and wheat. This was good
argument and we used it in our
telling of Crosby County as a
farmingcountry.
The best farming we have ;;Jf§|
seen in Texas we see-in
county;— The farms 'in Fort "? ;
Worth country and from Wichita
Falls on east does not in any f|lf,
way compare with the farms
west of that point and none of '
them Under the Cap rock seem ;
to be as well farmed and kept
as the Plains farms. Truly th^liP
difference is easily seen. <The
