Texas Corn
Texas Is a -world's force in agricul
ture. Withdraw our farm products
from the market and the people at two
hemispheres will go hungry anoV shiver
with cold. Out of the soil and from
the air our farmers take annually
nearly a billion dollars of wealth. In
plowing the land the Texas farmers
walk 330,000 miles per annum, which
Is equal to traveling around the globe
13,200 times.
ltO VALUE Ve&ACBZ
Tb chfei product of "Texas in or
der of their value, as estimated by th
Federal agricultural department for
1910, are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
rice, potatoes, etc Cotton as the lead
ing product Is far ahead of Its rivals.
Corn occupies second place without
ohajlenye. Wheat ana oats have been
disputing Tor third place, but the sep
aration tM year is so pronounced that
there can be no loger any contro
versy over their respective positions.
An examination of our cereal prod
ucts dispels the idea that Texas Is a
one-crop state. In 1910 we harvested
33,000,000 bushels of grain. Although
a bushel of oats weights less than a
bushel of any other grajn, yet there
Is some significance In the total quan
tity of all cereals produced. Our cereal
belt is following closely behind the
plow as it turns the virgin soil, and
we have so far found no geographical
limitation placed upon it by nature.
Our corn acreage In 1910 was 8.800,
000 and production 181.2SO.000 bushels,
and it had a farm value of $114,206,000.
This corn was raised in 120 days, mak
ing an average production of approxi
mately $1,000,000 per day. We raised
20.6 bushels per acre at a farm value
of $12.98 per acre. The corn crop oi
1909 and 1910 will purchase the rail
roads of Texas using the railroad com
mission's valuation on railroad pro
firty. This giant Industry has scarcely be
pun its development in Texas and the
possibilities of extending the corn
area and Increasing the yield per acre
present a wide field for enterprising
farmers and there are millions of
acres of idle land in the corn belt.
THREE KILLED BY
GAS EXPLOSION
Xine More Injured by Blow
ing Up at St. Louis
Station.
St. Liouis, Mo., April 22. Three per

the bodies -were found more than 100

HER TROUBLES
To the "Want" Columns of
The Herald. When there's an
unexpected vacancy in the of

a call to Bell 116, Auto 1115,
tells the news.

followed by poor health for the
mother. This supreme crisis of life
finding her physical system unpre

leaves her with weakened resistive

Nearly everybody in El Paso reads The Herald.
A canvass shows The Herald delivered regular

the city except perhaps 400. -
Even these few non-subscribers" are more than
covered by the regular street sales.
An advertiser who uses adequate space in The
Herald covers El Paso so thoroughly that he has no
need of other mediums. It costs him too much to
reach the few remaining homes. ' s
When he has covered El Paso by means of The
Herald he can only hope to reach 400 other homes
if he uses all other mediums combined. How much'
can he afford to spend for these 400 ? .
Just figure it.
A full page advertisement in The Herald costs

How much per family can he afford to pay for
