TEXAS

By J. F. Bahler

As I am receiving many letters from the friends of the cause with regard to the advantages and disadvantages of Texas, I will make a few brief statements through the paper.
The staple products of Texas are wheat, cotton, and corn. The climate is fine and healthful. There is almost always a cool breeze from the gulf during the spring and summer months. During July and August, it is generally dry. The water is quite hard, and most people in Dallas are buying it at that, and paying twenty cents per barrel. Fruit and potatoes are high.
The people are very kind and courteous. It seems to be a good field for religious labor. We, as a church, welcome to our midst any that are in good standing among Seventh-day Adventists.
