harbor on the const of Texas , and its at- <
fondant beneficial results to all the grcnfi
Interests of the triuihinlsslsslppl coun
try , that there are but few business moit
in all this great section who have notj |
at least , a general Idea of the benoflta '
which such a harbor would assure to
them. The nvrajjo man , however , has ,
not privon tlt mtUtor that careful
tlimmht which errors Into details , nnil
ho is , therefore1 , ! St prepared to hoar ?
the stntomont mn-i thut Bitch a harbov
on the Toxns cotuu , Acop enough to lloat
vessels which usifully engage In th < j
gtnln trade with frffblgn countries , wouluS
have tavcd the 'farmers of the trans-
mlsslssippl at IGnsl $23,000,000 on the
shipment of tholr wheat crop alone in
1801.
1801.The
The wheat crop of 1801 was 011,780,000
bushels , valued at $51:1,472,711. : of this
011,780,000 bushels the trnnsmibslsstppt
raised tit least two-thirds , or 400,000,000
bushels. At least : ! 50iOO,000 ( bushels of
the entlro crop was or will bo consumed !
at home , and the balance of 2(11,780,000 (
bushels exported to England and the
European conUnonti Of these millions
of bushels for export , 200,000,000 oC
thorn were or will bp shipped from the
country west of the Mississippi river
There being no porion the gulf const
ready to receive orfJtmdlo last ycar'a
crop , it was export Thi the Allantio
seaboard 505 miles further from the
grain fields than the gulf coast , Tlio
cost of transporting this wheat 505
miles is 12Jcenls per bushel , thus en
tailing a loss upon the farmers of this
great section of 425,500,000 or 12J cents
l > or bushel on 200,000,01)0 ) bushels of
wheat.
All this vast sum ol money lost In
freight bills to the producer of wheat ,
bec.iuso there was no pqrt on the coabt ,
of Texas to handle his crop for exportl
Then imagine , if you ( fan , the loss in
freight bills to the farrijors on all the
products of this great country which are
booking an outlet to foreign shores ,
through the ports on the Atlantic > -ea-
bourel , pouring further riches into the
elTolo oust , and only cdming back to us
when wo exchange a mortgage foe
them.
The average value per .bushel to the
farmer forolast year's wheat crop was
83.)3 ! ) cents. If the farmer of the trans
mlsslsslpnl had shipped through a pot c
on the gulf coast , it would have netted
him ! ) (5. ( ( > S cents per bushol.
Another loss Unit the western farmer
pockets is that occasioned by tlio grain
blockades , which occur annually on the
roads loading to the eastern seaports ,
and when the loss sometimes reaches $50
or $00 a car.
A now era , however , has dawned for
the western farmer. Ho need no longer
sustain this hoiivy losd. " Ills dav of
emancipation from the thraldom of the
cast is at hand. The long hoped for re
lief from heavy freight bills , grain
blockades and gram speculators , throuuh
a dec ] ) water harbor on" the gulf coast ,
has como at last. This deep water har
bor is hero at Vohisco , and it will bo
ready to receive and handle the wheat
crop of 1892.
Will the farmers and grain shippers
of the west embrace this opportunity
and utilize this port for which they
have been clamoring' so many years ,
now that they have it ? Would it not bo
folly to refuse to do so in the ftico of all
the facts and figures which nro or can
bo adduced to prove its value to the ag
ricultural and commercial interests of
the transmississippiV -x
Taking it for granted that the busines
judtrmont of the western farmer an < Tv
merchant is sound and that they never1
neglect an opportunity to furtheir their
financial Interests , Volasco is preparing
to handle as much of this year's crop of
cotton , grain , grain product , live stock
live stock product ns the limited tima
for preparation will allow. A 2-30,000
bushel elevator will bo ready for the
wheat , and a 500 barrel per day rollec
"
mill will probably bo ready to" receive
some of it. A cotton compress will ba
in active operation when the cotton Boa- *
son opens. A refrigerator packory is |
ono of the big institutions booked' foi'l
the near future. All tlioso things , with )
the now completed railroad connections , )
a now trunk Hue charlorcd and two )
moro great systems of road preparing ]
to build to UBimoans increased activity
and rapid growth for this , the only dcoi ]
water harbor on the Texas coast.
Volasco Is the only port on the Texas
coast where n vessel can lie ulongsldu
the elevator and load wheat in hulk ,
or alongside the refrigerator and
load refrigerated beef to a deptli
of eighteen feet and then sail out
to sea , and is therefore peculiarly Iho
harbor for grain and moat shipments.
At every other point on the Texas coast
only a portion of cargo of wheat can bo
loaded in bulk , when the vcs ol in
obliged to sail out over the bar to deep
A-ater and there finish the cargo from
barges with wheat In sacks. This IH ex
pensive and no aUvantago over the long
haul to the oast. The MUUO procebs in
loading must bo carried out in the cnso
of refrigerated beef , which is entirely
impracticable. Refrigerated moats
not bo loaded In that manner and
the cargo. *

to tholr truth , and they will boon dis
