KNOW TEXAS
The only graphite mine iu the
Southwest is iu Texus, near
Burnet. It supples h consider-
able part of the graphite produ
eed iu the Uuited States.
Tbe greatest distance between
eastern and western points in
Texas is 825 miles; from the ex
treme southern point to the
northwest comer is 740 miles
The altitude range of Texas is
from nothing (sea level) to 9500
feet.
The moat densely populated
county of Texas is Dallas with
343 persons to tbe square mile
(1928 census estaimate) The
most thinly populated is Loving
with one person to every four
square miles.
Negroes in 1890 represented
20.4 per cent of Texas' popula-
tion. In 1920 they were 15 9
per cent, the rate of increase
from 1910 being only 7 5 par
cent against 27 2 in the decade
from 1890 to 1900
Texas Department of Ag-
riculture Sells Cotton
Grown on Prison Farm
at Average of 19 cents
per Pound, or $96.58
Per Bale.
Austin, Texas, Jan., 17th,
1930—George B. Terrell, Com-
missiooer of Agriculture, gava
out the following statement to-
day in regard to the sale of cot-
ton grown od State Prison farms.
Mr. W. E. Williams, ooe our
state Cotton Classers has been
classing, stapling, and selling the
cotton grown on the State Pris-
ou farms for several years, and
has just made his raport to me
showing the sale of the crop of
1929.
This report shows that he has
classed aud sold 2945 bales of
cotton at an average of 19 cents
per pound.
Total net proceeds, $284,-
324 26
Average price per bale, $96.58.
Average staple leDgth, 1 3 32
ioches.
Average premium per bale
$9.14.
Total premium, $26,910.17.
The crop is practically gather-
ed, as there will be only a few
scattering bales to gio. The
crop is very light compared with
other years, as 8,351 bales were
made last yeaj.
This crop ha-t beeo sold for at
hast two cent per ponud more
than the average of Texas crop.
This ought to convince the farm-
ers that it pays to grow better
staple cotton, and to have it
properlv graded and correctly
weighed.
Newest Gas Range
Is Almost Human
The latest gas rauge is nothing
short of human in its perform-
ance. You can place your din-
ner iu the oven, set the time
clock on it, £0 away from home
and return at dinner time to
find your food perfectly cooked
and ready to serve. The clock
turns on the rob at a certain
temperature at just the time you
set it aud turns it off again at
the time you indicate by its
hands. Other ranges by ther-
mostatic control cook your food
at any desired temperature. An-
other range has a burner control
whereby special pots and kettles
placed over the burner (aud
connected with the thermostat)
keep the food at the boiling point
but never allow it boil over.
