Texas' principle farm products are cattle, grain, cotton, wheat, rice, and dairy products. Texas' primary minerals are petroleum, and natural gas.  It is no longer a lonely plain, but, rich in natural resources, it is to-day a progressive and a prosperous state.  Unlike any other state, it was an independent republic when admitted into the Union.  It was named for the Tejas Indians, a federation of tribes of the territory; friends is given as the probable meaning of the name.  Texas is known as the Lone Star State, because of the single star in the flag of the republic.
