The map which we are now discussing shows the speed and direction of movement of the people in order to settle the State as it is peopled now. It is not to be understood that the people who lived in the southeastern section of the State. sent their children into the center of the State and their grandchildren into the western part. This may be true in a large degree. but the tide of immigration which has swept in from the older States has been largely responsible for this later development in the central and western portions. The important point. in connection with our brief study of development. is that the great agricultural and industrial problems of presentday Texas are to be found in a section of the State which was organized 5 or 10 years after Texas entered the Union.
