The chart shows where Texas’ farm-ranch dollar comes from. In
Texas livestock—including meat animals, dairy products, poultry and
poultry products, horses and mules, and wool and mohair—made up
44 cents of the gross income dollar. This compared with 34 cents for
the southern states and 53 cents for the United States as a whole.
Cotton is still the leading cultivated crop on the gross income basis.

year; government payments were apportioned to the various crops.

sufficiently to be brought to his
home in Bogata last 'Saturday af-
ter spending a week in the Paris
