Recognizing the fact that this U
the last luncheon of the present
board as such following the formal
vote of thanks to Mr. Harding the
host short talks were made by each
one present who spoke briefly:
Mark Logan president "I feel
that this beard of dlrectora has been
instrumental In doing much good for
the city of Amarlllo. primarily and
the Tanhnndle country Incidentally
1 will contime to work with and for
the Chamber of Commerce even
though I should never be honored
ajrain with official station.
P. C. Prlddy "We hnve mad
much ot prneres. despite the ad
vere critic ism thnt has been .voiced
by some of the m.ire thoughtless and
less enthusiastic for the advnncemen
of thi cltv. W v are doubt less now
faring the best year In Amarlllo
history."
E H Greer- "As never beforo I
now appreciate the work of the Ama
rfllo Champer of Commerce and am
able to see many things that hat-
been accomplished as the direct re
sult of Its activities."
T. W. Itrarelton ' "I tblnk that we
have made material progress and
one thing that we should do. Is to
make clear our expression of thanks
to the president of the board and the
acting secretary for their seal and
continuity in supporting everything
that Is for the good of this city and
country."
4 E. W. Harding ' I am the one
member of this board electcdjy the
grace of the bosrd Itself and for
this I am duly appreciative. I have
enjoyed meeting with the board and
being permitted to contribute in a
small way to its endeavors.
D. D. Dewing "I have never miss
ed an opportunity to speak and I
don't propose to do it now. 1 wish
that the people of Amarlllo could
realize that their Amounts paid Into
the funds of the Chamber of Com-
merce are not a gift to charity but a
business investment. I believe that
if the viewpoint were changed we
would get relief from certain unfa-
vorable and uncomplimentary re-
marks made by members as well as
non-members of the organization.
What Amarlllo cltliens need is edu-
cation along the lines of more public
spirited enterprise that class of de-
velopment that has ever marked tho
community of broad capacity and
worthy achievement!."
M. F. Winfrey "Pleasure has been
afforded me by reason of this asso-
ciation. I am pleased to think thst
our regular coming together has
done treat good."
O M. F.aklo "I have enjoyed the
association with the board and am
convinced that the closer contact of
the members of the board afforded
and made possible in these weekly
lunrhcops has been conducive of good
to all concerned.
W. Latney Barnes 'So perfect
has been the success of these weekly
luncheons that I am hopeful that the
new board ill see fit to continue
them. They make possible a lino of
development that would probably not
otherwise be shown."
W. A. Rlarkbnrn "J am Just get-
ting really acquainted with the loard
and desire to sav that I appreciate
more felly now than ever before the
workings of the organlaticn."
E. D. Green then spoke In glowing
terms of the help rendered by th.-
dally press of the elty to earn and
every enterprise of the Chamber of
Comerce and concluded with a mo-
tion that fitting recognition of the
papers be taken In the form ct reso-
lutions the same to be prepared by a
committee of three. The motion be-
ing unanimously approved Mr Green
was ma.le chairman of the committee
The above report is not tn exact or
full report of the Improvements in
general but it approximately covers
the moro Important ones. There haa
been quite lot of improvements in
the suburbs of the city as well at
within the city limits not Included
in this report. It Is found that the
city as well as the country is in
good financial condition. The aver-
age farm production of the Amarlllo
country we find has far exceeded
that of any Information that has ap
peared In publication of the state
press and with the bright future
that Amarlllo and Amarlllo country
has for 1912. we have every reason
to believe that production together
with public and civic Improvements
will thrlble or quadruple this report
for the coming year. The ground
has an excellent Benson from the late
enoa and rains and prospects for
crops were never quite so bright and
I find on Investigation of other states
and other portions of this state- that
we are materially and financially
ahead of most any locality In the
t'nlted Stales.
Respectfully submitted.

sentative of the city press present

ciate every worthy achievement of
the Chamber of Commerce led by
its worthy board of directors Ho
also stated that personally he had
enJoed the association with business
men composing the board and had
derived much good therefrom. Deal-
Ins with the proposed resolution the
speaker rteclar-d that they mill be
gladly received and treasured by the
recipients who Ir. the future as In
the past will stand ready to do all
that Is possible to uphold the hands
of those so strenuously engaged Ir.
the masterful and worthy tesk of

T xas Panhandle scientific farming
expert. Is Its manager.
Judge G4cgh was In the city yes
terday and kindly gave the Dally1
Newg the following Information in
regard to this great farm:
Ist year 1.300 ocres. wero under
cultivation divided into 210 acres
In cotton. 300 acres In wheat f-0
acres In oats and the rest In kaffir
corn and nillo maize the kaffir large-
ly preponderating the acreage.
The cotton averaged 1-3 bale to tho
ncre; the oats 21 bushels; ar.d the
kn'fir nnd milo maize 20 bushels to
tlie acre with a ton per acre of for-
a. with a total money return of
frcm $l2.:.o to 5 If. per acre.
Of the wheat 140 ncres was sub
jected to scientific farming with an
average yield of 20 mushels per acre
ceres In wheat 00 acres In cotton:
per acre.
Ten Thousand Acres TliU Year.
This year 8500 new acres will be
put under cultivation which will give
In round figures a this fall's harvest-
ing of 10000 acres these harvests
to be distributed as follows: 450
acres In wheaot 500 acres in cotton:
500 acres In broomcorn: 500 acres
Ir millet: 20 acres in Spanish pea-
nuts and the balance In kaffir and
milo maize with a two-thirds acre-
sue In favor of the kaffir.
The entire 10000 acres will be un
der scientific farming a prophecy of
heavily increased average general
farm yields being found In the fact
that an especial cultivation this year
of 28 acres of kaffir and milo under
scientific methods yielded f0 per cent
more in both grain and fodder than
the other like crops.
Judge Gough says that kaffir Is
prcfereable to milo maize as a feed
crop as it yields as much grain and
more fodder.
The 20 acres in Spanish peanuts
will be equally divided between vine
and nut hog pa-turace and the rais-
ins of the nuts for market sale with
an expected return of at least 50
bi Ehels per acre and un added band-
?"jne value In vine forage.

working stations each of which has
its own hog stocking for the matur-
ing an dshlpplng of prime butcher

Crosbyton will have this year a new

Horse Psdomsters.
The whorls of hair on the coats of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers. Inasmuch as they regis-
ter th" locomotive activities of the
tnlmals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
cumber of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic t
horse. A notable Instance Is the j
graceful feathering that extends along
the hollow of the flsak. dividing tbej
trunk of the animal from the hind-
quarters. There are also creeu and
whorls on the horse's chest and other
parts of its body.
