if Mr. ill nut is fortunate in having an

f t' I he is not satisfied with the first

red amounts npon scales for not

Pottery la Fired.
'' ' A fire is built in the kiln and for

TEXAS HAS BRIGHT
PROSPECTS WITH
COMING OF SPRING
Prices of All Prospects
Encouraging Says
Writer
By SWAN HUNTER.
i. .ii the hiatnnr of Ttxaa. the
great State never before eatered the
spring witn more siaoie couuiuuu
take advantage of the impetus in-
duced by the passing of winter than
today. Always tbe leading agricul-
tural State the excellent returns of
Inst iir on farm nroducta.haa bulged
the banka of tha State with deposits
mmed additional capital into toe
channels of the commonwealth's rap-
idly expanding industrial activities and
placed Texas financially in a position
to command high rank in the compila-
tion of progress over the nation when
the curtain is dropped on the produc-
ing seasoa of 1924.
Only a bit of caution to prevent
over-production of some of the prod-
ucts which last year yielded aueh
bounteous returns remains to dim the
horison and the way cammunity or-
ganisations are spreading the gospel
of diveraification lends every encour-
agement to the prospect of escaping
too much "money crops."
An analysis recently made by the
State agricultural department showed
that Texas produced in excess of a
bilHon dollars worth of necessities
last year. Her cotton crop exceeded
4.000.000 bales a record for the last
few years while other States of the
growing belt raiaed short crop. The
equation therefore favored Texas
to the extent of so many more mil-
lions than the cotton crop usually
brings that the State ia in a healthier
condition than ever before.
Aa the weather dears oil proa-
pectors also are becoming more act-
ive under unproved market conditlona.
The latest computationa of experts
declare that the safe margin of aup-
ply and demand will meet within a
few weeks instead of months as pre-
viously estimated? hence there ia
every prospect that exploration thia
year will bring unusual returns to the
oil operators of the State.
Cattle and range conditions also are
ideal as spring dawns. Most encour-
aging of all is the recent advances in
the price of cattle and the dwindling
supply raises hopes that prices will
remain firm. The drele of prosperity
broken last year by poor pricea of
cattle and crude oil therefore has
been closed and Texaa should enjoy
even greater returns on the efforts
of its citisens than last year.
There is not a single induatrr that
contributea to the prosperity of Teiaa
but that the market for the product
ia technically strong an often over-
looked hot highly important factor in
computing the prospects of the fu-
ture. The Rio Grande Valley has kept np
its remarkably rapid forward pace
adding steadily to the laurels of Texas
aa a fruit and vegetable State until
the high mark of production is in
sight. Thai does Texas take the lead
in another department.
Industrially many new enterprises
both from local capital and through
migration from other States have
built in the State. The ports of Texas
daily are smashing all previous rec-
ords taking greater part of the
commerce of the world.
The influence of spring should spar
the State to renewed efforts tha new
honors might be gained nnder tbe en-
nsually favorable conditions.

AUSTIN Texu March it. Soon the highway! ud byways of
Texas will be adorned with tne errant flowers of the roadaide and the
field. Few State can boast of the variety of wild flowers that xoaUe
of thia State every summer a garden of successive and aver trwhexaini
bloom.
From the bins verbena of tha south to the downy thistle of tha
Northern Panhandle these humble legions of the aoll ibortly will burst
forth waring their plained beads or flaunting their gvlr colored uni-
forms In the breeiet aa rank on rank they march down Uae hUlalalca
and come to attention along the highway.
Wild Jhey are called but tame and gentle are the sir arts by wlaJcn
they fascinate the wayfarer or entice the bee to their succulent recesses
With unstinted generosity they-r f
give of their beauty and fragrance
that earth may have a new dress
each year.
Flower Always 1 Bloom.
No section of thia broad State is
slighted in this distribution of spring
and summer doth coloring for evea
the desert of the West has its bloom-
ing cactus. Thia sometimes feared
and hated plant in summer puts forth
a blossom said by many to be the peer
of anything that blooms. And when
no other plant will step in to fill the
breech there ia the humble but gra-
cioaa sunflower parijon of optimism
that turns its face always to the shin-
ing sun.
Teiaa climate Is such that aUmost
every month of sprint and summer
aeea a new wild flower coming forts
to add ita mite to the many colored
carpet of blossom a From the early
bluebonnets : which begin to wave
their bonnet-shaped beads In March

procession of color never ending.
Some there are who find "si mild
and healing arm pat hi" In contemplat-
ing the evening primrose as it opena
ita gracioua flowers In the cool of the
summer day. The flower ia some-
times mistaken for the buttercup. It
ia pink or yellow and Is a special
friend of school children who find
great sport in pressing the petals

Cy presa I Aristocrat.
The verbena which like the bbje-
bonnet. adda a dash of blue to the
great color scheme ia found imore
prominently in South Texas but
grows also in other parts. It blooms
from April to August and can be
found especially in sandy soils.
The' beautiful red flower of the
standing cypress rites itself more
sparingly than other flowers but is
oae of the aristocrat! of the family.
It has leaves very much like those of
the cypress trees and according to
plant specialists could be cultivated
for garden purposes.
Tbe thistle sometimes has been
looked upon as s pest but even so
it ia a beautiful pest It ia found
in great variety here all the way
from the email white inconspicuous
thistle to the Urge pinkish powder
puff variety. The small white ones
are rather late in blooming. The Rus-
sian thistle considered a noxious
weed is found in abundance and won-
derful color in tbe western part of
the Stste and the Panhandle region.
The sow thistle is of deep lavender
and mskes the fields beautiful with its
delicate tints. Tbe blue thistle
blooms in June coverrhg many paa-
turea along river bottoms.
The horse mint also gives to prai-
ries and waste lands daah of lav-
ender. It blooms from May until July
and is an excellent honey plant.

For those wboae vacation takes
them aboard in the early summer the
prickly poppy will afford a beautiful

tle on account of ita spiny leaves. It
wiQ be found in abundance in tbe val-
leya and along dry hillsides roadsides
fields and prairies and in fact wher-
ever the fancy of the traveler takes
him.
The white flowered honeysuckle is
abundant throughout Western Texas
and especially in the mountains west
of the Pecos. It is also cultivated for
omsmental purposes. Tbe flower
grows from Slay to July.
Not only do these plants of the
grear' outdoors give perfume and
color but some add food to their list
of uses. There is the cbaparail. con-
picuou on the one band for its fra-
grance and on the otber for the jelly
which can be made from ita berries.
It has leavea like holly with red ber-
ries. It ia more of l thrub however
