Texas and Texans by Will H. Mayes
The author argues Texas is vast and unknowable in parts, urging newspapers to educate Texans about the state’s full resources beyond cotton and oil. He stresses regionalism's risks, praises district and community meetings, highlights San Marcos cotton mill completion needs, and urges diversified farming, poultry growth in Big Bend, hog financing in Navarro County, and the value of community clubs and tree planting across towns.
