broken by very general, heavy rains,
which have given the plant new life
and brought it rapidly to the ripen-

in the State has reported its first
bale, and m Nueces county 7,400
bales had been ginned by August 20.

mated that there would be approxi-
mately four million bales, but as a
result of extremely favorable condi-
tions iiC August and much of the cot-
ton having been planted late, the
outlook is now for j»*obably 4 1-2

ing sprouted in the fields, but this
loss js localized and small, compara-
tively speaking. Roughly, We may
expect a grain sorghum yield this
year double that of last year, of
which there is probably * thousand
times aa much feterita. Whatever
the deficit on corn, it will be made
up by the increased yield of grain
sorghums, which is evenly spread
through all the counties, from Dal-
lam down to Cameron, and from El
Paso to the black lands. Texas will
have the feed this year to grow live-
stock in competition with other states.
The favorable conditions of rain-
fall also promise heavy yields of
peanuts, wherever planted, and re-
ports on the rice crop show a fifty
to seventy pjr cent yield as compared
with last year, but of good quality
and with an indicated good price.
The pasturage throughout the State
is in very fine condition, as it has
been, generally speaking, throughout
the year.
The check to business by Euro-
pean war and the consequent dislo-
cation of the cotton market has had
to be met by more or less eutting
down and readjusting in the cities.
Those who are temporarily thrown

Wants Strike To End
Washington, September 8.—Presi-
G AIN J dent Wilson has addressed letters to
die miners and operators concerned
in the Colorado coal strike virtually
demanding that the long strike be
ended. He addressed his letters to
the heads of the mining companies
and to officers of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Mediators sent to Colorado several
months ago have heard proposals and
counter proposals,but reach no solu-
tion. Because federal troops are on
duty in the strike district the presi-
dent feels that the government has
a peculiar interest
lead—not Paris green or London
pie—and to remember that their
chances to prevent loss lie in pre-
vention rather than cure. When a
farmer he%rs that worms are in his
county, he should immediately, run a
furrow around his cotton fields and
poison heavily the outer rows and
ends of rows. Holes should be dug
in the furrows with post augers and
kerosene poured in the holes when
the worms begin to appear. The
man who waits until the worms are
in his field will pay 'for his remiss-
ness by losses.
The change in the situation as re-
gards the cotton yield is chiefly due
to the indicated heavy productions in
the western half of the State. These
counties have, as a rule, produced
from ten to twenty per cent of the
crop; this year the production of all
of them will be much increased, and
in some of them multiplied by ten.
The production in the eastern half,
although now promising well, is not
unusual. It should be remembered
that the semi-arid section of Texas
has lost its claim to any approach
to aridity this year.
With a great crop of cotton, esti-
mated by some as high as five mil-
lion bales, we are now brought to,

cotton, but for every other product.
If the present situation as regards
cotton teaches us finally that Texas
must stop putting all her eggs into
one basket and grow a diversity of
crops, it will have done a good thing.
The farmer who has livestock now
can regard the cotton market with
comparative ease of mind, and this
should be the condition always. The
idea should not be to cut out cotton,
in which Texas leads the world but
to supplement it with dairying and
livestock production,' so that no dis-
aster can ever occur through the
failure of cotton market The dairy-
ing and livestock industries depand
only on Texas growing feed as
cheaply as other states, and it is
not unlikely, with our great ■ grain
sorghum yield, that Texas has done
it this year, and, if it had the silos,
could establish itself on a new baaif.

can help, and the cotton growers
want to be helped; the only thing
standing in the way is the fact that
there are comparatively few ware-
houses in Texas. It is, therefore, up
to the business men and farmers to
put up warehouses.
The building of warehouses is now
beginning. There are 820 cities,
towns, and villages in the State (13th
Census), into which this crop of four
to five million bales will come pour-
