try we have a plain blunt farmer Who
is raising on his farm and In his gar-
den and orchard something over 160
different varieties and all of them
growing Buccessfuly.
This gentleman's name Is G. .A. Rog-
ers and he is starting out to place
nn exhibit nt each of the three fairs
Abilene Dallas and San Antonio mid
confidently 'expects to succeed In get-
ting first premium at each fair.
Following "'is a list of the different
varieties of products of the farm gar-
den and orchard grown successuflly
by Mr Rogers.
Thirty varieties of apples 5 varieties
of pears 2 varieties of figs 3 varieties
of grapes blackberries dewberries
strawberries 5 varieties of October
peaches 1 specimen of priines 2 spec-
imens of apricots different varieties
of tomatoes 50 varieties of native
grasses 5 varieties of domestic grass-
es 24 varieties of beans and peas 12

specimens of garden seed a number
of varieties of canned fruits pickles
sweet and sour and a number of dif-
ferent varieties of fruit to be furnish-
ed Inter oii.
This is not anything special or now
for Mr. Rogers as he has been grow-
ing most of these products success-
fully for many years. It Is however
a splendid demonstration of what en-
ergy pluck an -Industry applied to
the soil can produce and furnishes un-
questionable evidence that tho soil of
tho Ablleno country is suitable for and
adapted to tho successful growing of a
greater variety of products than per-
haps any other section of tho United
States.
Why people will romnln In densely
populated and overcrowded districts of
the North and East content to be
merely a small speck in tho surging
mass of humanity eking out a more
scanty living when such splendid op-
portunities for success independence
and prosperity awaits them in agricul-
tural and horticultural purslts In tho
Central West Texas country Is cer-
tainly a puzzlo.
The remark Is frequently henrd by
prospectors and Is sometimes agreed
to evon by our own people that land
values In this section are too high.
Yet hero Is tho plain unmistakable
evidence showing an average produc-
tion of $25 to $250 per acre when un-
improved land can be bought In the
same neighborhood nt from $15 to $25
por acre.
BALMNGEIl GOES TO WORK
JONES RAILROAD PROPOSITION'
More than a score of Balllrtger's
lending business men met at the offi-
ces of C. A. Doose & Co on Hutchlngs
Thursday at 9:30 o'clock a. nu
The purpose of the meeting was to
get a definite co-operative unison of
effort to tho securing of a railway out-
let to tho north while ho Knrner-Ly-ons
proposition is still up for consid-
eration It is also definitely announced
that Morgan Jones has pubmited an
offer to this city to extend his lino
from Abilene via Winters to this
point.
It was not the province of Thurs-
day's council to accept either offer.
But after discussing tho various phases
of the- situation it was decided to ap-
point a committee with tho power of
effecting a complete organization of
business mon to take up and close any
contract which might be presented to
this city. Chas. S. Miller was select-
ed as chairman ot this organizing
committee and at his convenience will
appoint his four associates.
This commlteo will do nil that can
be done towards bringing matters to
such a focus that a road may bo se-
cured at the earliest possible dato.
A major organization will also bo
effected along lines as nbove indica-
ted in tho nearfuture.
Later Mr. Miller has appointed tho
other membcrp of his committee as
follows: J. McGrygor C. A. Dooso M.
A. Traylor and Judge B B. Stono
It might bo well to add that much
confidence is genernlly expressed In
the nblllty and desire of Mr. Jones to
construct tho proposed road and
should his offer bo accepted our peo-
ple will enthusiastically support the
movement with their money.
A phono message from Winters to
the Ledger Thursdny afternoon was
to the effect that while no definite con-
tract had been closed between Morgan
Jcnes and that place an agreement
was reached and both parties are con-
fident that as Boon as Ablleno puts up
tier part that the matter will bo closed
up once and for all.
Winers people think the line will be
extended to Balltnger and heartllya?.
yor such a consummation of the rail-
road affair. Bafllnger Ledger.
RAILROAD BUILDER MORGAN
JONES CONFERS WITH WINTERS
As stated In thq Enterprise last
woek Morgan Jones was notified that
Winters was ready to closo up tho
railroad contract. Mr. Jones returned
to Fort Worth from a trip to Europe
Sunday and Into the same nftoruoon

gram saying Mr.1. Tones would bo here

10 o'clock Wednesday and early in the
afternoon met our commlteo The re-
sult of the meeting wns a general
agreement In which both sides of the
deal hoartlly accord though our com-
mltteo find they wore not so near Mr.
Jones' figures as they thought.
However all are confident that tho
figure enn be met although It will re-
quire Bomo effort and with this end
In view thoy set to work with addi-
tional zeal Thursday' morning Thoy
are moetlng hearty responso from the
people.
Tho result of Mr Jones' trip has
cleaned up all doubt In the mind of
any who wore skeptical as to his In-
tentions many questions that wore
in doubt havo boon explained and all
agree that WlntorB will got tho road.
Mr. Jones had a mooting with Abl-
leno Thursday afternoon but an nc-
count of tho poor telephone facilities
this morning wo could not learn what
had been dono there.
Boforo reuchlng Winters Mr. Jonoa

Is similar to the ono mado to wlntors
