there is neither an agricultural nor horticultural building-
illustrated in it, for no such building’s exist, nor have they
ever existed. Colorado contains less than half the area of
Texas, less than one-tenth the area of arable land of Tex
as. The faculty of the Colorado colleg-e contains thirteen
names; that of the great state of T exas, nine. Total of
professors and assistants, Colorado, thirty-one; Texas,
twenty-one. Colorado pays in salaries $62,829; Texas,
$39,570. Colorado’s assessed values amount to $187,000,-
000; Texas, $885,000,000—more than four times as much.
Colorado levies a tax of one-fifth of a mill per dollar for A.
and M. Colleg-e equipment—$40,000 annually. Texas levies
no tax for this purpose. A similar tax in Texas would
produce $177,000 annually. One-twentieth of a mill (or
one-fourth the Colorado rate) would yield a larg-er sum
than is yielded by the Colorado tax. The population of
Colorado is less than 600,000; that of Texas is about live
times as much. Texas, however, makes a better showing-
in this matter when compared with Colorado than when
the comparison is made with almost any of the agricul
tural states.—Earm and Ranch.
