lip Brothers of Midland and by W
J. Boaz of Fort Worth and other non-

partially completed and had not been
tested out and only after considerable
delay a stream of water was secured

stream of water and tho hard fighting

three buildings on the block where
tho ffro originated and thq block

ess. The Midland Grocery and Dry

George Flnberg an Abilene buyor
Iji commenting on tho glnners' "report
said:
"Personally I expected tho total
wohld be about ton million bales. As
you see my guess was a bib off color.
The report showB that I undorshot the
mark by exactly 139980 bales..
"Of vastly more Importance how-
evor Is the government estimate which
Is yet to como In. Every ypar the de-
partment of Agriculture places nn es-
timate based on reports received on
the year's crop. I nm of the opinion
that thq estimate will bo In tho neigh-
borhood oty 11000000 bales possibly
31300000. Last year tho total was
10010000. It Is quite certain that the
l-rbp for J9J0 will be substantially In
excess of that of! 1909' although .Cen-
tral West Texas Is not holding np her
