fact of a consistently increasing con-

int« resting to note that the position

Te.va.-, California, Wyoming, Montana

Wyoming, California, Texas, Montana

most radical change in the figures
was in Texas as present figures in-
dicate that state leading it's nearest

Reports from Arizona state that
prices received for wool during the
season just closed have been higher
t.ian at any time in the past several
years. The wool is reported of bet-
ter quality than ordinary years and
the bulk of the crop was sold Fast,
the highest reported sales being -14-
1-2 mi pound and the general range
around 40c.
In looking back over hog statis-
tics or twenty years, it is noted that
there are 58,000,000 hogs on the
farms in tht I'nited States in 1! 2S,
showing a sliu'ht increase over H'26
when there were 51,000,00(1 and in
11127 when there were i>4,o00,000 dur-
ing the twenty year period. There
are thirteen year, when a large num-
l>er of hogs were reported on the
farms, the highest year being 1919
wen 74,000,000 hogs were present.

has always been a problem to

people draw in their investing capi-

activity in most of the oil fields, de-

has to be carried on regardless of

Highways Through Cities
Travelers in Texas are impressed
with the poor highways they often
find running through the towns and
cities. Good roads may run entirely
across a county except those parts
within the limits of municipalities.
In proportion to the country mileage
the cities pay a much larger share
of the tax that goes for road building

and rabbit pelts for the fur industry.
It is a revival of the Belgian hare
business that had such a run a few-
years ago, but that waned because
of the lack of markets for the meats |
or the pelts. Parties now prom iting
the industry in Texas will center
their efforts on the growing and t
marketing of the rabbits, hoping to
make it highly profitable. It is re-1
ported that rabbit growers of Los j
