He is UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME (Texas Weekly News Service) Permanent economic changes in Texas during the past decade were accurately reported to the nation's business leaders last month by "Business Week" in an article analyzing the southwest market. The decline of cotton as a source of income has brought about a revolution in farming which will continue indefinitely, the article predicts. Greater mechanization of farming means fewer farm jobs and fewer tenants and sharecroppers. Population shifted off of farms by the agricultural revolution has been readily absorbed at higher pay by expanding industries. Chief of these are the oil refineries and chemical plants.

Population of cities has skyrocketed, and as a result Texas now has, for the first time in its history, a larger urban than rural population. Production of oil haw buen a bonanza which has produced the spectacular fortunes reflected in the skyscrapers Of Houston, Dallas and other Texas cities. Forecasting the future of the state, the article foresees a continued prosperity for agriculture, with greater emphasis on diversification and increased processing of farm products. In the field of industry it is pointed out that the future hope of the state lies in further of manufacturing to process the basic chemicals which nature has so lavishly bestowed. "Mr.
