‘ [ ~— «Che ~=Butler VOL. XXIX. TEXAS PANHANDLE LANDS. Prof. Campbell, of Sotl Culture fame, saye: “Refering to the great plains country of North Texas country, commonly known as the “PANHANDLE” or North Texas country. My opinion as to its adaptability for general farming, will say: Beyond a doubt no section of the United States has been more misunderstood by the public at large, and its natural resources and its advantages less appreciated than this very section, A glance at the crops now growing on the Model Farms at Bovinia, Parmer Co. and Porico, Dallam Co, ts certainly ample evidence of the fact that with proper culture, the pos- sibilities of these soils are very great. I have also found ample proof that by propercare all kinds of frait produce abundantly, the flavor and keeping quality of which is so very marked, that some very large orchards are being set out this season south of the Pacos Valley line. Somo of the finest samples of Peaches, Apples and Pears ~ we found at Tascosa, in Oldham Co. In early September 1905, I attended the fair at Dalhart, where all kinds of vegetables, fruit and grains were exhibited by the farmers. The exhibit was fine and could have hardly been excelled in Old Illinots. Seeing is belleving. THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND INVESTIGATION, Yours very truly H. W.
