Itlalou Is Now the
Third Largest Town
In Lubbock County
Malou Doc. IIS. A year ago Ma-
in i kid niiii of a name than a town
hut the end if lU'.'l finds the place
uno nf the thriving towns of the
South Plains and the third larjrt'sit
town In Lubbock County. Its popu
lation is still under a thousand but
the present rate of growth it will
pans the thousand mark Ion if before
the rext census is taken. It was not
even community when the 1910
census was taken.
In the eastern part of Lubbock
County It is in the heart of the rich-
est part of. the South Plains and lies
just between the so-called cottoa.
"ion and the wheat section of the
South Plains. A ifood general pro-
portion of each is grown in this vi
cinity with the result that the profits
from the farm are spread over a
larger part of the year than in either
an exclusively cotton or wheat sec-
tion. Approximately forty-five cars
of wheat were marketed from this
point this summer and more than
3000 bales of cotton have been gin-
jned at the local (fins already. In ad-
dition to these crops there have been
steady shipments of hogs poultry
cream and feeds such as maize corn
and sudan grass seed through the en-
tire harvest season and the entire
year.
ldalou hogs have found a steady
demand in California markets at a
price on a par with or above the Fort
Worth markets throughout the year
nnd shipments continue regular from
this market.
Fifty modest residences have been
completfld in the town since thi first I
i.f lnt Janunry and work will start l
immediately upon a modern church'
1 1. 'int for the Methodist congregation.
Two otl.ir churches nre already com-'
pleted und n public tabema b'.
One brick store building has been
i omi'lf'ed within this year and a'
number of frame buildings have been
constructed in the business section of
the town. The Mnhu Telephone Kx-j
change has been opened within the
past vear as has the Malou State'
Par.k." 1
The surrounding country h:i made
a l;ke incrine in giou'h am! devel-1
opnopt with the addition of a num-'
lir of new farms and improvements
upon already existing farms A num-i
I it of liirht plants have been install-
ed in farm homes In this section nrd
other modern conveniences have;
been added to the farm homes.

I is a credit to the commissioners and
the people as nowhere en the I'l.lllis

1 The high wind" nnd dry weather
1 have cau&od re. niilci able trouble in
keeping the roads as smooth as they
could have been but for the fact that
'onstdcrablc ploughing whs done on
the road to mix the sand and clay
the roads have never been as smooth
as they might have been but for the
i fact that the pulvcrired dirt was
blown away in many places.
