WHEAT AND OATS.
Along with other important ques-
tion*, we believe that that pertaining
to the sowing of wheat and oats this
spring should not be overlooked.
That we have an excellent small
grain country has been sufficiently
demonstrated to convince tbe most
skeptical and now, that the season is
most favorable, it seems expedient
¡ large acreage be planted to
ly, this spring. No
successful, would bring
and those who have
It, claim thatj *U
the -favorable condi-
r the ground and ,sow
will do-the rest.
! is considerable talk about
, in connection with A
j>, would give the iar-
J a money crop at the time when
it would be most needed. We be-
lieve those who go into the oat busi-
ness this spring will rnáke another
step forward in the* agricultural
development of the Panhandle.
An evidence of the influence which
the farmers of the great South Land
can wield has been clearly made
manifest within the past few weeks.
The farmers of tbe South have never
before beqn in * posittbfi to,, present
such a solid phalanx to the great
money powers which have so long
been in almost absolute control of
all the markets in which they are to
dispose of the products of their labor.
The cotton factors of the country,
who, if permitted, would have driven
prices to the very bottom and then
knocked the bottom out, have met
with a determined insistence on the
part of the honest laborers, the re-
sult of which is reflected in the ad-
vance in prices from $4 to $5 per
bale. The prospects now are that
the fleecy staple will soon again be
selling at fancy prices and the far-
mer will be brought into a full reali-
zation of his position in commer-
cialism and will be taught to know
that, if he will, he can control tbe
whole world, for civilization is
builded upon his occupation as a
basil.
and Hereford as division
the towns where they are
now tocated being Woodward and
Amarillo. The enterprising people
of the Santa Fe are making this the
shortest and best route to the Pacific
coast and this is but one move toward
the betterment of the system. Sec-
tion foremen have been ordered to
put in new and better ties and to im-
prove the condition of the road bed.
Tbe buildings at Woodard are only
temporary structures and can easily
be removed. . Th¿ round-house is to
be built of stone, of which an excel-
lent quality is found in close
proximity. One thing that has
influenced the • managers in putting
the division here is the purity and
abundance of the water. Higgins is
situated exactly right for a division
and the railroad is now to take ad-
vantage of it. This move on the
part of the managers will double the
value of all property in and near the
city. Business will flourish and our
town will grow and prosper.—Hig-
gins News.
We do not know how much cre-
dence can be placed in the above,
but we do know that such a move
would be a wise one on the part of
the Railroad Company. We under-
stand that the same difficulties are
met with at Woodward that exist at
Amarillo, the principal one of which
is the enormous expense 'attached to
obtaining water. Should this be
made the main line of t^e Santa Fe
to California, it would not only re-
quire an enormus sum of money to
procure water for the maintenance
of the shops at Amarillo, but a
greater sum would berequired con-
tinually to pump the water from so
great a depth. At Hereford, the
company is already aware that an
inexhaustible supply of the best
water in the whole universe can be
had at from 30 to SO feet.
When the great Santa Fe gets
ready to build cut-offs and change
the location of its division points,
Hereford will be ready with a bonus
and other prerequisites, the magni-
tude of which will show her faith in
her ability to take care of such
enterprises. Hereford, by nature,
is located for a large city, already
having a perfect sewerage system,
an unlimited supply of water and be-
ing surrounded on all sides by her
millions of fertile acres.
The great Panhandle is large
enough for two important cities
within her borders and it would
arouse a degree of pleasure in the
peaceful bosom of the writer to see
Higgins take her place as such on
the north and Hereford on the smith.

A BETTER RECEIPT
Than a check cannot be found. Besides that, it is the
most convenient method of handling money. It does away
with carrying so much in your pockets where you are
¿able to lose it, or even worse—to be held up while driving
through the country. If you have never carried a bank
account come to us and we will explain all the methods.

THE BRAND'S BIRTHDAY.
With this issue, the BraNd closes
its fourth year's work. During
these four years the paper's career
has been what might be termed a
successful one. The'size af the
sheet ^fcas not only been increased
but the circulation has been extended
from a few local .subscribers to
almost 1000 paid-in-advance sub-
scribers, covering several states and
territories, thus giving .it an adver-
tising prestidge, unexcelled, if
equaled, by any paper in West
Texas. t
The Brand's policy has always
been for the moral and material
development of the Panhandle in
general and Deaf Smith, Castro and
Parmer counties in particular. That
success has been achieved along this
line, is evidenced in many ways,
but the best evidence which w;e have
of its good work is the hearty and
generous support which has been
accorded the paper by the citizens
of these three excellent counties.
For the prosperity of the past/ we
only have to thank the public, who,
by their very liberal patronage,
have enabled us to serve a more
useful purpose in the development
of the country. It is a well-know
facf; among newspaper men of the
Panhandle that the Brand over-
shadows them all when it comes to
an advertising patronage, which fact
alone reflects the enterprise and
local pride of Hereford's business
men.
During this year we have many
improvements under contemplation
which will continue to give Hereford
the best and most up-to-date printery
west of Fort Worth in Texas.
It shall be our purpose in the
future as it has been in the past to
serve the interest of all readers and
customers alike, "with equal rights
to all and special privileges to none. "
We shall ever maintain that breadth
of thought which will enable us to
do for all our customers just what
we would do for any one of them.
This has been our record in thepast,
it shall be our unbroken record in
the future. We shall endeavor to
give our readers a first-class local
newspaper, promising to always be
charitable in our views and respect-
ful towards the views of Others.
We again extend our heartiest
appreciation for the liberal patronaee
given vis in the past.
