Those are the figures and those are
the products which brought the fabu-
lous sums of money. Perhaps not in
the entire list can there- be picked
out more than a hull dozen that can-
not be grown to profusion in the Gulf
Coast of Texas and that, too, without
the expensive fertilization, irrigation
and other necessary preparations
which are found indispensable in
< alifornia.
Beginning at the bottom of the list
we find that celery will thrive better
here and produce a better quality 1
than in California likewise pepper of
every conceivable kind, whereas Cal-,
ifornia cannot hold a light to this
section on watermelon production. We I
can beat California on tomatoes, on
corn, on cotton and grow onions equal
ly as well. Sorghum and hay are nat-
ural crops in this country and sel
dom require irrigation as they do in
l alifornia. Granges and lemons and
other varieties of citrus fruits can
easily be made to rival California and
be grown here just as profitably
As stated, In all the list California
has not over a halt dozen varieties ol
products which would fail here. The
whole difference lies in the push, en-
c rgy, application, aptitude and wil
lineness of the people to be up and
de Ing. Perhaps, It's in the climate,
or our stars, or in our ineptitude to I
properly visualize things, or in down-!
right laziness Take your choice of!
