The Texas Industrial Congress
has issued its annual announce-
ment of $10,000 in prizes for the
best results during 1915 in farm-
ing, gardening, and stock feeding
contests as follows:
Class A—Four-crop Model Farms,
an acre each of cowpeas, cotton,
corn and kaffir, milo or feteri-
ta, $1500 in prizes.
Class B—Best acre of corn, $100
in prizes.
Class C—Best acre,of cotton, noi
prizes offered this year.
Class D—Best acre of kaffir, mi-
lo or feterita, $1,000 in prizes.
Class E—*Best acre of peanuts,

Class F—Best steer not over 3
the ia< t that a single cotton crop
hasn’t been a great success.”
Dorsey is still optimistic over
the outcome of the wheat crop,
which in Texas shows an increase
in acreage of 20 per cent.
“I predicted we would have a
$1.25 to $1.50 market and it is al-
ready at $1.40,” Dorsey said.
“There is no adequate way of
telling how many acres wev’e
planted. A law on the statute
books say a report shall be made
each year by the farmers of area
and production. But the legisla-
ture didn’t provide for an ex-
penditure that would afford the
county assessors ways and means
to gather the information. There-
fore we are without it. There is
no way to tell now thewheat area
in Texas or the production ex-
cept ffrom estimates furnished
by the Federal government.”
1914 Crop Sets Record.
The past wheat crop has been
the heaviest in history and despite
the fact that it has been close to
a billion bushels, prices have been
