honey production, and with such
profusion of wild flowers, it is pos-
sible to produce honey here at a low-
er cost than it can be produced any-
where in the country. And honey pro-
duced from cotton blossoms, of which
Texas has such a wealth, is said to
be the very best, both rn flavor and
color.
According to T. W. Burleson, Pres-
ident of the Texas Honey Producers
Association, the normal production of
honey in Texas is about fifteen mil-
lion pounds a year. About seven hun-
dred Texans are engaged in the com-
mercial production of honey. The
Uvalde area is the Largest producing
.section, but honey is produced com-
mercially in nearly ever section of
the State. Mr. Burleson, mentioned
above, is one of the large producers
of honey in the State. He resides at
AVaxahachie and began producing
honey in a small way thirty years
ago. He now has 2,500 colonies of
bees, each colony consisting of be-
tween 75,000 and 100,000 bees, which
are distributed over various sections
of Ellis county, the colonies being
divided among sixty aparies.
A little more than one half of Mr.
Burleson's colonies are in permanent
location; the others are moved from
place to place as the season advances.
In the early spring, when the wild
flowers are blooming, the movable
colonies are placed around the hill
country where the flowers bloom in
the greatest, profusion. Later, when
the cotton begins to bloom, they are
.moved down into the cotton fields.

A rough estimate places the num-

A DAMAGING REPORT
The sensational drop in the cotton
market brings Texas farmers a loss
of about $20,000,000, or $45 per fam-
ily and the South some $55,000,000,
all because the Federal Government,
in its Sept. 8 report increases the
crop just 4,000 hales over the Aug. 8
estimate. But this insignificant in-
crease in production is reported in
spite of a decline in the condition of
9 per cent for the South as a whole
and 8 per cent for Texas! In other
words, the estimated yield per acre
has dropped since Aug. 1 nearly two
pounds of lint. The Government ex-
perts believe that a larger acreage
will be harvested, since prices be-
came more attractive than would have
been the case if they had stayed at
5c. Therefore the ten-year average
abandonment figure of 3.1 is lowered
to 1.8 per cent and that started all
the trouble .because it added some
450,000 acres to the harvest and dissi-
pated lower per acre yield.
The great harm done Texas and the
South by a report which ends with
Aug. 31 and does not take into con-
sideration the terrific damage done
the Central and West Texas cotton
crop during the last week’s rains
and floods, can only be corrected by
prompt recognition of the latter facts.
It seems reasonable that by this
time the Government crop-estimat-
ingmachinery could operate more
speedily—not have such a long period
between gathering the report and its
publication. Time is everything with
a cotton crop and much harm can
happen in a week or ten days, as has
been the case in Texas. Cotton is one
of the most highly speculative com-
modities and extremely sensitive to
the slightest news, especially when
it is unexpected.
Texas business was just beginning
to show appreciable recovery and
merchants were placing orders for
larger stocks to be sold to cotton
farmers who would have the first
cash surplus in two years. The cot
ton trade had accepted the Aug. 8
Federal estimate as gospel and spin-
ners of the world were not unwilling
to pay a fair price at which farmers
were permitted to profit. Then came
the Sept. 8 report, followed in an in-
stant by a wild orgy of selling on
the exchanges which sent the price
down $5 a bale, wiped out millions of
dollars of values and leaves a train
of uncertainty in its wake. Any man
who knows cotton also knows that
the present spell of weather is not
conducive to increased production in
Texas. What happens to the Texas
cotton crop from now on witl help to
make cotton prices this year.—Dal-
las News.

areas were improved and the first
real pleasure gardens formed. These

About 327 B. C., Alexander the
Great invaded Persia and India. In
these countries he found gardens sim-
ilar to those in Babylonia which bore
indications of oriental influence. Both
the Persians and the people of India
were great lovers of trees, shrubs,
and flowers and in the latter country
the Hindus worshiped many trees,
especially after the adoption of Bud-

TRIE SERENITY
A farmer was trying hard to fill
out a railroad company’s claim sheet
for a cow that had been killed on the
track. He came to the last item: “Dis-
position of the carcass.”
After puzzling over the question
for a while he wrote: “Kind and gen-
tle.”—Rochester Times Union.
London, it is said, has 30,000 occu-

merous odd trades still in existence,
one of which is “knocking up”—the
job of going around at daybreak and
awakening patrons by shooting peas
at their bedroom windows.
