Parkers Impressed
by Texas Drouth
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Parker
have just returned from a two
months trip through the South,
including stays in principal cities
of Florida.
Mr. Parker reports drouth con
ditions in Texas. Residents there
say two successive years of dry
ness have plagued the area ex
tending from Dallas and Ft.
Worth on west, which includes
about half of the western part of
Texas.
Mr. Parker believes that the
thousands of cattle in the drouth
stricken area placed on the mar
ket is partially responsible for
the lower cattle prices.
“At Decatur, Tex., hundreds of
cattle were poisoned by a certain
i kind of cotton cake,” the O’Neill
j man related.
Mr. Parker said he was im
pressed by Florida’s development
as a cattle state. Where grass
has been seeded it is common
to graze six or eight head of cat
tle per acre. Georgia, Alabama
and Louisiana are raising many
Brahma cattle, he said.
