"Suets of this South Plains no doubt
can "be backed up by the reports of his.
own railroad, but nevertheless we can-
not ^ee the validity, of his argument
that a new railroad, such as the Den-
ver plans, would not benefit the "South

a recognized fact for several veara

West Texas produces better water-
melons than any other section of the-
country. Yet comparatively few
watermellons are exported from that
region. West Texas has superior ad-
vantages in the production of berries
and small fruits, in) the production of
all kinds of garden track, in the man-
ufacture of farm dairy* products. vTt
is up to West Texas to organize and
capitalize these vast resources.
