Sudge Sullens Tells His Impres- sions of the Gulf Coast. San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 10th, 1909. Editor Butler Times: Since my arrival in Texas April Ist I have had Several letters asking my opinion of the Gulf coast as a farming country, |” and if you will allow me space in The Times I will give some of my con- clusions. I was at Corpus Christi 165 days, during which time I was down the Gulf coast 100 miles, up the coast 30 miles and back in the country 40 miles and was in most of the railroad towns between Falfuries and Rockport. The surface of the country is rath- er flat and lével. In some localities the soil is black and rich, in other places it is grey and ashey and mixed with gravel and in other places it is very sandy. All or nearly all of the country is covered with chaparell brush which grows in bunches and usually from 6 to 12 feet high. Then there is musquite that grows singly and bears beans that are good for stock to eat. The Musquite always reminds me of an old Missouri peach orchard. There is live oak, post oak, hackberry and other kinds ofscrubby timber. The country is covered with cactus and many other kinds of Close Range. thorny shrubs.

State Game and Fish Commissioner Jesse A. Tolerton received a report from | the last outstanding county, Wash- ington, showing the collections for November, 000. Of the licenses isssued, 2,861 are what is known as State-wide, en- titling the holder to hunt anywhere in the state. These licenses cost $5 each: Fifty-five licenses have been issued to nonresidents of the State. These cost $25 each. The remainder, 78,009, represent local— licenses, which cost $1 each and entitle the holder only to hunt in his own or in adjoining county. The City of St. Louis stands sec- ond on the list in the point of the number of licenses issued, 2,864, and first in the number of State-wide li- censes issued, the latter being 1,600. St. Louis county comes third, with a total of 2,316, of which 120 are State- wide licenses. Kansas City and Jack- son county head the list, with a total of 2,952 licenses, of which 400 are state-wide, The counties that have issued more than 1,000 licenses are: ‘ Bates 1,253; Boone, 1121; Buchan- an, 1,917; Butler, 1,735; Callaway, 1,067; Dunklin, 1,579; Franklin, 1,209; Greene, 1,692; Henry, 1,298; Jack- son, 2,952; Jasper, 1,925; Jefferson, 1,264; Johnson, 1,130; Marion, 1,022; New Madrid, 1547; Pettis, 1,198; St. Francois, 1,507; St. Louis, 2,316; Saline, 1,068; Scott, 1,005; Stoddard, 1,135; Vernon, 1,108; City of St. Louis, 2,864, Camden county isat the tail end/Co, has been conducting its affairs with eighty-two licenses, and it may be added that there is more game in that county than in half a dozen of the counties where more than 1,000|arations for the resumption of work persons have secured licenses. All licenses will expire at the close of the present month. By that time the number will doubtless have reached 90,000, or perhaps go above this estimate. In all, about 95,000 license blanks have been issued to the local officials by the State Game and Fish Commissioner, and he does not anticipate that all of these will be used.
