he had been investigating right

people along the line he does not

justified in building the line from

road from Brownwood.
In further conversation, Mr.
Johnson said: “On short line

New York City, June 18.—Theo
dore Roosevelt’s arrival in New
York this morning was the most
notable in the history of return-
ing notables to the U. S. After
his extended trip through Africa
and his visits to the crowned
heads of Europe it is safe to say
that nothing that occured in all
his trip was so notable or so
thrilling as his welcome home.
Upwards of two million people
lined the thorough fares and wa-
ter ways when he passed along.
The water and land parade in
honor of his return were the most
inspiring and stupendeous
witnessed in New York.

Splendid Crop Has Been Grows
in Texas.
San Benito, Texas, June 14_
The harvesting of broom co^
is beginning in earnest, a number
of farmers growing this fttapi0
having already prepared their
brush for the cleansing maehine
which has been pruchased by a
prominent farmer of this section
for the accomodation of those wh
were willing to try broom corn
in this section this year. A little
more than a thousand acres were
planted.
Plans have already been made
for a greatly increased acreage
for the next year. Several buy.
ers have been here, offering to
purchase the entire acreage on
the San Benito tract. These men,
who are experts in their line]
made the statement that the
broom corn grown here is 0{
vastly superior quality from that
grown anywhere else, and predict
that this section will become a
great broom corn country.
The vast acreage in broom corn
this year is the result of a for-
ty-acre experimental patch plant-
ed by Colonel Heywood last year
in order to determine its adapta-
bility to this section. Samples of
the straw were sent to the nor-
thern broom factories for opin-
ions as to the quality, and when
the exeelleht reports were sent
back with bids for all the broom
corn that may be had, broom
com growing became a favorite
topic among the planters here.
