from Quanah, Vermont, Wichita Falls and other points visited in north-west

The people in that part of the state, he says, have good crops with the
exception of wheat, which is being destroyed by the green bug. The
commissioners courts in the various counties visited have raised the valuation
of the renditions, and instead of lowing the rate, have in many cases raised it.
