HEWS FROM THE COURTHOUSE
Much has been written about Tex-
as, her resources and her people and
scattered over the entire country for
the valuable information such writ-
ings contained. Ws have had access
i to some of the writings, but the last
one, in pamphlet form, issued by Law-
rence Stern and Company of Chicago,
contains much that is of value to
every Texan. We take the liberty of
reproducing some of the facts they
have published in the pamhlet:
It is generally known that for sei
vtral years the State of Texas has
led all other states in the Union in
the value of its agricultural products.
It is not so generally known that
Texas has forged ahead to front rank
in many other fields.
In 1924 Texas led every other state
in the Union in volume of exports,
with n total of $737,218,927, against
New York’s $731,593,502. In 1925
Texas increased its exports over 1924
by nearly $21,500,000, to a total of
$758,665,052, but lost first place to
New York, which piled up a total of
more than $810,000,000. Texas and
New York each have more than three
times the exporting business of any
other state, and together have nearly
one-third of the exporting business of
the Nation.
This enormous volume of export
trade reflects the fact that Texas
leads every other state in the Union
iri the production of raw materials—
the annual new wealth production of
the state being from one and one-half
billion to two billion dollars. This
leadership is due to the fact that it
takes front rank in a highly diver-
sified list of raw products: it produces
more farm crops than any other state;
it produces more textile materials
than any other state, leading in both
wool and cotton; it ranks among the
leading states in live stock, crude
petroleum and lumber; it has enor-
mous resources of natural gas; and it
produces an important volume of coal,
sulphur, clay products, asphalt, salt,
gypsum and other minerals.
Preeminence not due to size alone

has been given to various statistics

the Lone Star State, the East and
North, generally speaking, are still
very far from general appreciation of
the stability, solidity, and extent of
the progress of Texas.
It is probable that the enormous
land area of the atate has caused the
average man to discount the figures
he haB seen regarding Texas suprem-
acy. These figures, however, are not

resources.
A furtl cr consideration of the
supremacy of Texas in the production
of raw materials, its progress in in-
dustry, and its general wealth and
stability, divulges a large number of
very interesting facts.
Agriculture
It has already been brought out
herein that Texas leads the Nation in
the value of its crops.
In years when prices for farm prod-
ucts have been high, the value of farm
crops in Texas has reached totals of
more than $1,000,000,000. The follow-
ing table shows the huge total of
Texas crops and the extent of its

Industrial Development
Texas hm shown during the past
few years a steady and healthy in-
crease in the proportion between its
raw materials and manufactured pro-
ducts. Today it takes rank as a
great manufacturing state, and the
total value of its manufactures is
about $1,000,000,000 annually. This
figure is rapidly approaching the total !
value of Texas raw materials, show-
ing a stable and sound condition, with
income from raw materials and man- |
ufnetured products well divided. The ,
falue of manufactured products in
the state has increased rapidly, as
shown in the following figures from j
the Federal census of 1920: i
1909—Capital Invested $216,875,-, population is shown in the following

With the rapid growth of the pe-
troleum refining industry and other
manufactures, the annual industrial
output today probably represents well
over $1,000,000,000.
