state about bank stocks manufacturing
t ntei prises etc They have discovered
that national bank stock in Texas pays
-U per cent per annum and large
sums will seek this field They
are astounded at the magic growth
ot Texas cities and the enhance
ment in the value of agricultural lands
And in tact there is a set determination in
the Easf to send money to Texas in search
of investment
Duiiug inv sojourn in New York I met
a gentleman from Boston who asked all
about the country climate produce and
progress Of course 1 told him that Texas
was the grandest state and had the most
promising future of any state in the Union
and 1 learn that he is now making arrange
ment to build a car factory at Beaumont
to be operated with a capital of i00000
Now there arc thousands of other sren
tlemen iu the East who will place their
money in Texas as soon as this stringency
passes away and within the next two years
1 think that the influx of money and immi
gration will be tremendous
But I am uneasy about this agitation of
the free coinage of silver 1 do not know
wiiat would be the eflect of free coinage
but I do know that these gold exports are
in a measure the result of this agitation
Anywav I think that a great nation like
the United States if it aaopts a bi metalic
currency should make the coins equal in
value However we must have a larger
circulating medium one that will meet the
demands of the country and the manner of
acquiring that medium is a matter for
statesmen to solve
Mr Kiucannon also expressed himself as
highly delighted with the crop prospects
and said that the large cotton crop of last
year and the outlook for a great wheat crop
this year was rapidly convincing Eastern
men that Texas was the state to bring
their money to

THE PRODUCTION
COTTON COMPARED WITH
THE TEMPERATURE
And Rainfall in Texas Texas Produces
About One Fourth or the Cotton
Grown in the United States
Special t the Gazette
GalvesTOv Tea May 20 Texas pro
duces nearly one fourth of the cotton grown
In the United States and on account of the
imj ortaiice of this crop data has been com
piled showing the normal monthly tempera
ture and precipitation and the departures
of the current temperature and precipita
tion from the normal for each month during
the growing year for eleven years from
1SS0 to 1690 over the agriculturial portion
of the state The monthly departures from
the normal have been deduced from five
stations throughout and more where com
plete records could be obtained selected so
as to give the most accurate results The
yield of cotton has been taken from cotton
exchange and other statistics and is as re-
ble as can be obtained
A brief summary of the extensive data to
be published in this bulletin is given below
The yield of the crop grown in 1SS0 was
43 of a bale per acre xvhich is slightly in
excess of the average yield The tempera
ture during this year was above the normal
continuously to the 1st of dune after xvhich
it dropped below the normal and remained
so the balance of the season The rainfall
was deficient up to February 1 after which
it xras about normal or above except in Au
gust there xras onl about two thirds of the
normal but this was both preceded and
followed by an excess ranging from 0 to
100 per cent of the normal
The crop grown iu lbSl yielded 30 of a
bale to the acre xvhich is 10 below the
average During this j ear the temperature
aeragedabout4 deg daily below the normal
up to May 1 after which it was about 3 de
rrees nbox e the normal during the remain
der of the season The precipitation was
normal or above up to March 1 after which
it xvas generally deficient except iu May and
very ii regularly distributed The amount
xvhich fell iu May was decidedly excess and
was sufficient to have washed up the crop
and xvas followed by a total absence of rain
iu June about the normal in July for that
mouth x hich is less than 400 inches and
by a marked deficiency lasting through Au-
gust and September
r The largest yield per acre during the
period under consideration xvas the crop
grown iu 1SS2 The average x as 51 of a
bale per acre xxhich is about 10 above the
average The temperature during this
ear was 4 deg to 5 deg daily in excess of
the normal to May 1 after xvhich it xvas
slightly deficient to the end of the year
The precipitation xx as very exenly distrib
uted throughout the year and xvas gen
erally about normal except that there xvas a
marked excess during July and August
folloxved by a deficiency in September
The yield of the crop groxvn in 1SS3 x as 30
of a bale per acre The temperature during
this ear was very even the deviations
frpmthe normal being slight The
xvas above the normal until Apul 1
alter winch it x as below and tlie deficiency
xvas very marked during July August and
September
The crop grown in 1SS4 averaged 31 of a
bale per acre The temperature during
this year was very unevenly distributed
it xx as generally in excess during the win
ter and about txvo degrees daily below the
normal during April May and June
after x hich it xvas in excess of the normal
to the end of the year The precipitation
xvas above the normal up to and including
June the average amount which fell over
the state in April was decidedly iu excess
xvhile that which fell during May averaged
ox er txvel ve inches throughout the statethis
delayed planting until June xvhich xvas
folloxx cd by drouth during July August
and September
The yield of the crop grown in 1S jtver
aged A- of a bale per acre Tlie tempera
ture during this year xvas generally defi
cient but the departure from the normal
xvas slight after April The precipitation
xvas generally about normal or above during
the first part of the year it xx as dccidedly
iu excess and during the planting and
growing season the deviations from the
normal xx eie slight
The average yield per acre for the crop
groxvn during ISSti xvas 42 of a bale The
temperature during this year xvas generally
beloxv normal up to May after xvhich ft
averaged slightly above the normal to the
end of the year The precipitation xvas
about normal throughout the year except
during May iio rainfall and in July the de
ficiency amounted to one third of the
normal
In 1SS7 the crop grown yielded an average
of A of a bale per acre The temperature
xvas above the normal xvith the exception
of the first three months throughout the
year The precipitation xvas beloxx normal
up to May 1 after xvhich it xvas continu
ously above the normal
The yield of the crop groxvn in 1SS9 aver
aged 40 ol a bale per acre With the ex
ception of December aud January the tem
perature xx as below the normal throughout
the year Tlie precipitation xvas in excess
until April 1 after xvhich it was
slightly deficient except in June it xvas 240
inches in excess ot the normal
The crop grown in 1S90 averaged 41 of a
bale per acre The temperature xvas gen
erally about normal or slightly below ex
cept during December and January xvlien
it xvas decidedly in excess The precipita
tion was in excess until May 1 after which
it xvas about normal or slightly deficient
but more generally normal to the end of the
season
In examining the years separately it is
seen first that the greatest damage has re
sulted from excessive rainfall in April and
May particularly iu the latter month fol
lowed by drouth during June and sube
quent months and second that the next
greatest damage to cotton has resulted
from drouth during July and August It is
also observed that the largest yield is in
y ears xvith an even normal or slight excess
in both temperature aud precipitation from
May 1 to September and xvhile deoendinsr
to some extent on the conditions xvhich pre
vail previous to May 1 their effects are not
so marked yet xvithout exception continu
ous warm xveather from January to May
has been followed by an average yield of
cotton
