Personally, I am sure that my fig

two years I have often thought that if
we would sulphurize the soil we would
have an additional advantage.
Mr. Cunningham says the sulphur

it will be much easier to get new

tion to the great public importance

eral sections of the law relating to

We are sure that this question
should receive the most serious
thought of our industrial leaders and
the citizens of our State. All that the
people at large are interested in is
that the loans be safe, and made on
the same basis that other loans are
made. The insurance companies can
Iio counted on as looking into the
safety of all loans before making
same. We see no valid reason why
this restriction should not be removed
by our law makers at Austin. G. M.

It is remarkable how much the gov-
ernment spends on experimenting,
and how little we appreciate the ex-
pert work we are given. True, many
farmers and horticulturists take ad-
vantage of such advice, and they are
richly rewarded.

full share of soil conditions that de-
mand both study and labor. litre is

Fair to Industries.
So far no laws have been passed
by the Thirty-Ninth Legislature of
the State of Texas that will be harm-
ful to the industries of the State.
While a great many laws have been
proposed, that if passed would have
been very harmful to the future in-
dustrial development of the State,
however it must be said to the credit
of the house and senate that all such
laws or bills have been promptly
killed. Many bills have been intro-
duced that upon their face seemed to
be fair and just; however, upon close
study the "negro in the woodpile”
amount of the mortgage indebtedness
does not exceed 50 per ci nt of the
physical value of the plant. But such!
investment is not compulsory and it
does not otherwise change the law.
“At the present time domestic life
insurance companies can not invest
in any character of industrial bond,
and foreign life insurance companies
can only invest In the bonds of cor-
porations that have not defaulted in
the payment of interest for five con-
secutive years. Obviously the law
precludes the foreign insurance com-
panies from investing in a new issue
of bonds, no matter how meritorious,
and obviously also it closes the door
to these great reservoirs of capital
against most of the industries of
Texas, for few of them have bonds
that have been outstanding for a
period of five years.
Value of Texas Factories.
“The United States census report
shows that in 1910 the total value of
the manufacturing plants in Texas
amounted to $216,875,579, which in
1922 Ims increased to $585,776,000;
and that the value of the products
of these plants increased from $272,-
895.635 in 1910 to $842,438,000 in
1922, nearly equal to the total value
of all farm products for that year,
amounting to $1,119,000,000; the
value of cotton mills increased during
this period from $4,283,000 to $10,-
188,000, and the value of the products
of these mills from $2,815,000 to
$13,920,000

ering the many serious handicaps,

tively small and need long time

A mistrial was declared by a judge
