POURS OIL ON THE WATERS. TROUBLED The second epistle of Mr. I. M. Cook, published elsewhere in this paper, will be read with no Ies3 Interest and much more satisfaction than Its predecessor, which elicited bo much comment. The spirit it breathe3 Is admirable. There ! With freezing temperature nights in succession almost to coast there Is little ground for hope that anything killable . by frost has escaped destruction, unless It was pro tected In some way, and the amount of protection in the east half of Texas 1 so small that ft la not worth consider ing. That fruit and vegetables worth many thousands have been destroyed Is certain. It Is equally certain that a tithe of theloss, If expended Judicious ly in providing protection from the cold, would have saved practically all the property destroyed.

The farmers of the older sections have made considerable Improvement by diversifying and adopting Im proved methods, but in the importan particualr of protecting their crops from frost they are away behind those of the Southwest. In the two weeks preceding February 15 one agent of a "frost prevention" company sold 63,. 000 orchard heaters In the citrus belt, After seeing the fire pots tested the farmers around Kingsvllle, Falfurrias San Benito and other points bought heavily.

The friction was caused by the fail ure of the parties to understand each other. In conversation with tho editor Mr. Cook remarked that he and hU friends had supposed that the cost of property convenient to the business district would be so great that If a wagon yard were established it would necessarily be In the outskirts of the town, which would be very inconven ient, especially for the women and children. When it wa3 explained that the business men are interested not less than 'he farmers in locating it as close in as possible he not only said 'that this would be satisfactory, but that, speaking for himself, he would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for such accommodations as It Is proposed to furnish.

It is not for The Eagle to dic tate, nor even to suggest, except to Insist that the matter be taken up at once and a committee or committees be appointed to work It out. Not less than a block of ground should be con sidered. If there are houses on the site selected, they would perhaps be available for rest rooms, dressing rooms, lavatories, etc., for the women and children. As Egg Man suggested, Ice water should be provided in sum mer and fires in winter. In short, all reasonable provision should be made for the comfort of our welcome and respected guests.

In working out the details the committee should consult representative farmers and "true" farmers' wives.

IMPROVE IN TEXAS. In an Interview published In yester day's Houston Chronicle, Mr. J. B. Dickinson, fiscal agent of the Texas wireless telegraph system, said: "Yes, the committee of the chamber of commerce met me- yesterday and agreed to assist In financing the pow erful wireless station soon to be in stalled here, and I have already taken steps to have the work rushed. This station will provide quick service be tween all stations in Texas to New York City, St. Louis and New Orleans. My agreement Is to install a 35-kilo-watt station here, one at New Or leans, St. Louis and New York. In ad dition to these high powered stations we must have not less than twenty in Texas capable of giving good service 10 Houston. This means more tn tho broom factory, brick works, and, mo3t important of all natural gas. Two or three years ago If anyone had pre- dieted that such a statement as the above could be truthfully made at this time he would have been regarded as a too optimistic dreamer. : AN EXAMPLE BRYAN FOLLOW.

Every business man in Bryan should be a stockholder and have a voice in the election of the board of directors. We find in an Austin news letter this sentence: "One of the new repre sentatives from a rural district made himself ridiculous among his col leagues by suggesting that tho legisla ture transact its business and adjourn. Many of the members are wondering why he ever came to the legislature." Wilbur Wright says it will be many years before the aeroplane will be used a3 a common means of transpor tation. The air Is too uncertain and capricious to be reliable for sustain ing much weight. Mr. Wright Is doubt less right in his conclusion. In a letter declining an invitation to address the Texas legislature, Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, asks: "How long w'll your legislature sit?" That's what a good many of us would like to know. DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE Senate Honors General Cabell, Who Died Last Night Appropriation Bin Will Be Reported Monday. By Associated Pre3s.

Those who feel that swine are not progressive animals should read the nice things Uncle Sam has to say about the Texas hog in the federal agricultural department census report dated February 1. 1911. The reports show that in 1S70 Texa3 stood next to the bottom of the list of states in the value of hog3 per head, while in 1911 ivo loivo nil Southern state behind us, and we also excel all other states orphanage home, In the Union except three in the per centage of Increase in value of hogs per head during that period. In 1870 our hogs were valued by the federal agricultural department at $2.87 per head and In 1911 at $7.70, making an Increase of 373 per cent In value, which is a record on hog3 that few states in the Union can equal. No other domestic animal can approach the hog in ratio of Increase In vaiue, and none can axcel him as a revenue producer. He Is rapidly populating our rural districts and his approach has so alarmed numerous cities that ordi nances have been passed prohibiting him from entering the city limits. The hog enjoys the distinction of being the only animal that can swell a bank ac count by emptying the swill barrel. Both Houses Down to Business. By Associated Press Austin, Texas, Feb. 23.
