The Hereford Brand Friday,
1912
Praises The Panhandle.
Ft. Worth, Te*«s.~I would like
to >ay a few words about the "Great
Plains" of Texts situated in what is
known as the "Panhandle of Texas"
—feeling that even a very brief
description of this country "of mag-
nificent distance" will be, in a man-
ner as interesting to the readers of
The Chariot as the "real thing" has
been to the writer.
The actual Panhandle consists of
twenty large counties, the combined
area of which it greater than that of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Connecticut, and is practically one
vast alluvial plain, level and free
trom any kind of trees or shrubs ex-
cept in a few places where a few,
Uve-oak and small trees are found
along the bottom lands of the Cana-
dian and Red rivers; also along
these streams are a few canons, very
beautiful and picturesque, that break
the monotony of these extensive
plains. Practically every foot of
this vast country is tillable land,
with deep chocolate soil adapted to
raising anything that can be raised
any place on earth.
"Nature! Great Parent! Whose un-
ceasing hand
Rolls round the seasons of the
changeful year,
How mighty, how majestic are thy
• works!
With what a pleasing Dread they
swell the soul 1
That sees astonished! and aitonish'd
sings!"
As yet few people have tried diver-
sified farming—but those who have,
find that they can produce abundant
crops of wheat, oats, alfalfa, miio
maize, kaffir corn, etc., with much
less labo.* than in Any other country
in the United States.

of people and to my mind have a
very bright future.
Hereford is the county seat of
Deaf Smith county, one of the largest
counties in tne Panhandle, and has a
population of about 2,000, being a
new town, it is modern and the public
buildings are of the best. The
county court house is a magnificent
structure, built entirely of Georgia
marble, and ranks with the best
county structures in the United
States—splendid churches and school
buildings are indicative of the pro-
gressive spirit of the people in this
community. Deputy F. P. Potter
secured a splendid charter list for a
Court of the Tribe of Ben-Hur at
this place and many of the best citi-
zens of this thriving city are on the
list.
Friona is beautifully situated. It
has a splendid $15,000 school build-
ing, an up-to-date Community Church
edifice where members of all de-
nominations are free to worship.
All lines of business are represented.
A splendid up-to-date hotel, two
general stores, pharmacy, meat
market, wagon shop—and in fact
everything necessary to supply the
wants of the most fastidious. It has
an abundance of spleodid water both
for domestic use and irrigating pur-
poses—many modern homes, situated
in one of the most healthful localities
in the country, "an ideal place to
live." Deputy Potter has also a
charter list completed for a Court of
our Order here, and when instituted
will be one of the growing Courts.
This country is rapidly filling up
with good substantial farmers and
business men, furnishing new mater-
ial all of the time from which to re-
el uit our membership.
