Texas Farmer says: "No gift
is more' desirable than to be able
to see the opportunity at the right
time, and then to be able at the
right time to speak or keep si-
lence, to work or stand still.
Such, to a peculiar degree, is the
province of the wide-awake jour-
nal—to instruct, to warn, to ex-
hort, and to use that wisdom and
fair-minded common sense which
will work out for ita readers a
course which they may adopt with
a confidence that it is not born of
impulse or narrowness, but as a
result of a fair analysis of the
whole situation."
Texas Farmer states that the
world's visible supply of wheat
in round numbers is estimated at
about 30,000,000bushels less than
a year ago, 48 millions less than
two years ago, 60 millions less
than three, years ago, and 04
millions less than four years ago.
Argentina's crop, which is

Very croP in country

Those who have good crops of it
growing have reason to be cheer-
ful. The outlook for the Texas
crop is unusually fine to date.
