money than at present, and Anderson
county will supply many of the mar-
kets with their test fruit and vege-
tables.
We are told in press dispatches that
all kinds of canned goods have in-
creased in prices and are still going
up. This county can raise enough
raw products to supply Texas with
canned goods. All we need to do is
to get the best results from the lands.
When we have done that it will be
time enough to charge any deficien-

J. W. Rowland and family return-
ed Monday from Dallas county where
they have been visiting home folks.
Mr. Rowland says corn and cotton in
that county is just * about on a par
with the crops here, although the land
there sells for 8200 an acte. After
making the trip he says he is well
satisfied to remain in the Chandler
country.—Chandler Times.
It is pretty well settled now that
the former rich black lands of Collin
and other counties will not produce
upon an average, in a series of years,
any more corn and cotton, especially
the latter, than the average East Tex-
as sandy lands. It is clearly evident
that the East Texas lands at from $25
to $50 an acre yield a much better
profit than black land that yields no
more, but which tolls for $100
to $200 an acre. Then taking into
consideration the great variety of
products East Texas lands will pro-
duce and which the black lands will
not, it seems to be strange that people
will prefer the black land counties
to the Eap$ Texas One rea-
son Is, East Texas hap never had its

(W. E. Aughinbaugh in Leslie’s)
Foreign trade is a vital element in
domestic prosperity. An unprecedent-
ed portion of American labor and cap-
ital is practically dependent upon fob*
/v>s. * '- ’’ . ” ‘ ; ‘
eign markets. One result of the past
two years has been the entrance of
small manufacturers and merchants,
who never before dreamed of overseas
markets, into the export trade. The
[ employe as well as the employer real-
izes that their joint prosperity de-
pends in a great measure upon a sus-
I tained increasing foreign demand for
i our goods.
In 1913 the per capita foreign trade
j of tbis country was $44. In two years
and a half it has risen to be about
$68 per person. To maintain this ra-
tio after the European cataclysm is
over, as against England’s per capita
foreign trade of $149 or Germany's
$79. means that our mills and facto
ries must run as they are now oper-
ating and that our productions must
be sold in markets which we are not
today supplying, for with the resump-
tion of normal conditions in Eupjpe
and the return of millions of soldiers
to industry/ competition of the.keen-*
est kind is bound to develop and many
of these, for us, temporarily lucra-
tive markets will slowly but surely
drift, for one reason or another, into
the hands of those who formerly sup-
plied them. It behooves us as a na-
tion to conserve our natural resources
for the benefit of ourselves and our
posterity so as to prevent their be-
ing used to halt American expdrt
trade now so vital to our interests.
In 1913 the United States exported'
$586,000,000 worth of raw cotton;
$490,000,000 worth of foodstuffs, agri-
* . -V.
cultural food products and animals;
$107,000,000 worth of forest produdts't
and $248,000,000 worth of meials.UKd'
minerals. These raw products were
converted into finished articles and
were sold in the world’s markets in
competition against goods of a similar
nature made in the United States.
