Bill’s Brother Seeks Information.
The Reply.
Holland, Texas, April 1,191
The San Patricio Co. News,
Sinton, Texas, ,
Dear Sirs: Your paper reached me today, for which
accept my thanks.
The reading which interested me most was the letter
to the Mississippi friend.
Now, of course, I am one of Bill’s brothers, and would
like to ask some questions if permissible, and get ahead
of Bill.
Is corn or other small grain a success there?
What kind of soil and timber in the river bottoms? *
Will you please give the real estate transfers that have
been placed on record for a short time back.
Trusting that this is not asking too much of you, and
thanking you in advance, 1 am,
Yours truly,
« ' J. M. W.
REPLY.
Mr. J.M. W.,
Holland, Texas.
My Dear Sir: In answering your inquiries, permit me,
first, to assure you' of my appreciation of your kind ex-
pressions. While it has never been my pleasure to know
you personally, get I have no doubt heard your brother
Bill speak of you often; and if for no other reason than
ve for him, I would not will-

continues to plow one mule with a Georgia stock, going
six times to one row, where the crab grass gets to the fer-
tilizer first.
We have one man here with only one leg, the other ia off
above the knee; he goes on two crutches except when he
is in his buggy or on one of his riding plows. He is cul-
tivating nearly three hundred acres this year and stands
a better chance to get a bale to the acre than Bill does on
his fifteen acres. This man can get on his plow and turn
more land in a week than Bill will-turn the whole year.
He owns a fine farm and has money in the bank. Lots
of men back east and some in Texas better able to work
than he is, who are selling lead pencils, shoe strings, etc.
If there is any further information you desire I will be
pleased to give it or refer to parties that can.
* Yours very truly.

one acre in certain other crops will more than pay for the
yield of two acre* of good corn; and secondly, the abund
ant supply of other feed crops makes the demand for com
much less. We usually have roasting ehrs here by the
middle of-May and’the same land can he rotated with
com and some other crops the same yen*.
Without making any special inquiry, I will give you ohe
record which I have seen: Mr. J. S. Williams, who resides
eight miles south of this place, has grown the same vari-
ety of com on his farm for the past seventeen years with
an average yield of 30 or 32 bushels per acre, ft is hard
white com, small ear and doesen’t seem to be of the most
prolific varieties. Nor does the'com weevil seem to be
any worse than in the leading com countries. You might
write Mr. Williams for information; he will tell you the
the truth about com or any thing else you ask him about.
His post office address is Kalita, Texas.
Small grain, such as Kaffir com, Milo Maize, Sorgum,
Millet and Egyptian Wheat are staples here. No farmer
falis to reserve place for some or all of them in laying out
his crop for the year. Each of them are almost sure any
year and may be used for many purposes, some of them
yielding as many as three crops from one planting when
cut for hay. 1 believe sorgum is the most popular hay
crop. When sown very thick the stem grows small and
there is no waste—it makes a fine combination feed.
Our county is bordered on the north by the Aransas
River, a more beautiful stream than which can no where
be found in Texas. On the south ^ide we have the Nue-
ces and although it gets muddy at times, it serves a splen-
did purpose. Many smaller streams make their way through
the interior.
Along these water courses the land is a rich alluvial soil
with a growth of mesquite, hackberry, elm, live oak and
other hard wood.
This, correctly, and I hope satisfactorily answers every-
thing you call for except to give the recent real estate
transfers. I regret very much not being able to do that
this week, but will netft week.
Now another word about Bill. He* would be lost in a-
mazement to come out .here and see fi’ow things are done
in Texas. He has been farming for himself ever since he1
ran* away from home and bought his first pistol and shot
that mile board into splinters. Of course he was not sen-
sured for that, as it was in self defense. He’s a hard
worker and has a good wife, but he is not likely ever to
ir his condition or even get out of debt so long as 'he
