THE PROFITABLE PEANUT
~i WATERMELONS FOR SEED ONLY
Cotton is Oklahoma's greatest crop.
Corn Is the next in value In this state.
But there is a crop, humble and neg-
lected, which is destined to take sec-
ond place from corn, and perhaps
wrest first honors from the fleecy crop
that brings millions of foreign money
into Oklahoma each twelve months.
Peanuts, the goobers of the south,
the wonderful product that is mak-
ing Stephens county rich, will de-
velop into a principal crop of Okla-
homa and be, perhaps, the principal
crop of Oklahoma well within a de-
cade.
The Oklahoma farmer who had a
patch of peanuts this year is not
worried about that crop. He looked
with anxious eyes at his corn crop,
hopeful that rainfall would be of such
an amount that the corn crop will ma-
ture. He eagerly observed the cotton
patch, praying that no pest might de-
stroy the bolls. But he gave little
thought to the peanut crop, knowing
that the peanuts will be ready to ex-
change for gold in October.
Stephens t county has about 40,000
atres planted' to peanuts. Hence
Stephens county will receive about
$1,200,000 for the peanut crop of that
county for 1913. If each county of
Oklahoma should raise as many pea-
nuts as Stephens county will raise
this year, then the Oklahoma annual
KAFIR RULES IN WOODWARD
County Growing Rich by Raising Fa-
vorite Silage Crop
Kafir corn rules in Woodward coun-.
ty, where the crop not only thrives ;
better than any other, but where few j
farmers care to attempt to raise corn
and other risky crops. This is the
belief of A. A. Webb, editor of
the Woodward Democrat.
"Farmers in our county have
reached the conclusion that it's best
to play a sure game, and for that rea-
son they are planting kafir corn and
producing about twenty-five or thirty
bushels to the acre," Mr. Webb said.
"In other counties I could mention
galore, corn is planted just for the
chance yield that comes about once j
in ten years in the state.
"C. O. Cozard, a grain man of Wood-
peanut crop would sell for more than
190,000,000!
And peanuts will grow in almost
any kind of soil. Blackjack land,
which is not suited to many crops,
will produce liberally of peanuts.
In some spots of Oklahoma farmers
will not have much of a corn crop
thiB year. In those same Bpots ex-
perts had advised that peanuts be
planted as an insurance crop. But
com is such an attractive crop that
many were fascinated by the accom-
plishments of famous corn states, and
increased their acreage in Oklahoma
this year.
While Oklahoma will have a good
corn crop, Borne corn raisers are
doomed to bitter disappointment. A
blight hovers over a few tracts of land
in Oklahoma which, had such tracts
been planted to peanuts, would now
be radiant with the velvety green of
the growing peanut plants.
If Oklahoma wishes to add to her
creative wealth, the quickest route
is to follow the Stephens county
method. The farmers of that county
will have fat banktaccounis this fall
made possible by the humble goobers.
It is true that Oklahoma will show a
crop yield of great magnitude, but WQ
are overlooking the crop which is
quite the most nearly certain of any
yet discovered by the agronomist.
ward, has made a fortune in handling
kaflr corn. He had but $250 when
he started in business a few years
ago in Woodward, and he started to
ship kafir to Galveston. He obtained
a good rate on the grain, and made
more than $200,000 since he began
making shipments," said Mr. Webb.
INDUSTRY
ILL
OF A BARTLES-
^MAN.
Hundred An Acre.
The Canadian Valley News tells of
an eighty-acre farm near Jones City
recently selling for $8,000. The farm
was improved with a white house and
red barn. Incidentally it was covered
with alfalfa and hogs.
Put Specs On It
A Granite farmer has a calf that
was born blind, but with a sense of
hearing so acute as to render it diffi-
cult of approach. The calf's eyes are
white.
Has a Big Acreage of the Nigger's
Delight, But None of Them
Are Eaten.
Just west of Bartlesville, north ofj
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas!
bridge that spans Sand Creek, and
north of the track as it enters a
wide valley, passengers have been
astonished at the acres of big water-
melon s that Beem to cover the en
tire ground, and many are the
mouths that water as the passengers
mentally speculate on tne sum of
money these melons will bring the
farmer when he hauls them to mar-
ket. But not one of them ever find
its way to market.
Last season passengers were wont
to express surprise that the great
field of melons were allowed to ap-
parently rot on the ground and won-
der was often expressed why the
farmer did not haul them to market.
It is the same this season. But
"there's a reason for it."
The farm is owned by Jacob Wit-
tenmeyer, who raises a special brand
of watermelons > clusively for the
seeds, and that is why none of them 1
find their way to the markets. You
cannot buy one of the melons and !
take It away. You can, however,
get one of them and eat it on the
place, provided you carefully preserve
eVery seed, for the seeds are what is
wanted. And carefully are they saved,
as carefully as if they were gems of
great value, as indeed they are.
The melons are a very choice, and
new variety known as the "Tom Wat-
son" melon and the seeds are handled
by an eastern seed house. They are
said to be the finest variety grown and
the seeds are in great demand. The
company finds that the Sand Creek
valley land is an ideal soil for pro-
pagating the melons, surpassing that
of any other locality and they are will-
ing to pay a good price for the seeds.
Mr. Wittenmeyer has fifteen acreB
lof this variety this year, growing
them exclusively for the seeds which
he ships to the eastern seed house.
The seeds bring greater returns than
he could possibly obtain from the
melons.

TIE small hat is launched upon one
more season of popularity and hair
dressing must be adapted to it.
But the very siinp)e.# coiffures which
have prevailed during the past year
have become too tiresomely popular
to suit women of fashion, or women
who strive for individuality in dress.
They want something new. Therefore,
tiiose divinities that shape our ends
(so far as the arrangement of hair is
concerned) have developed some love-
ly new coiffures.
These truly remarkable and beauti-
ful styles accommodate the new hat
shapes, and at the same time answer
the demand for more dignified and
elaborate hair dressing than the pass-
ing mode displayed.
There are three different styles to
be featured. One shows the hair
dressed high—on top of the head—in
another, il is coiled low on the crown,
and in a third the regulation Psyche
knot is worn. In several of the new
styles a higher and slightly curled
fringe appears across the forehead.
In all the new styles the hair is
not much waved, and in all of them
the ears are covered. In the ma-
jority of coiffures three very short,
tiny curls nestle somewhere, either at
neck or peeping out from the knot, or
displaying themselves resting on the
hair just above the ear. They are just
about the prettiest little finishing
touches that can be imagined. Women
call them "cunning" and perhaps they
are; for these little curls appear to
rivet the attention of the masculine
mind with extraordinary force.
By the way, few people realize how
much men admire pretty styles of
hair dressing and good grooming in
the women they know.

Auto polo, the highest class attrac-
tion in the world, and the climax of
dangerous sports, has been engaged
for four days during the seventh an-
nual Oklahoma State Fair and Im-
position. Oklahoma City, September
23 to October 4, 1913. It was selected
by the management, to complete the
list of up-to-date sensations that liter-
ally crowd every minute of the South-
west's greatest exposition. It is an
exclusive game because it is expen-
sive and the outlay is greater than for
any act ever before engaged for the
State Fair.
In announcing this great attraction,
the management of the Oklahoma
State Fair and Exposition promises
tlirills such as Oklahoma has never
seen here or abroad. It is played
on a field 350 feet long by 125 feet
wide. At either end of the field goal
posts fourteen feet apart are placed.
; The ball is placed in the middle of the
field in direct line with the goal posts
and at a given signal the cars on either
! side rush at topmost speed toward the
| object with a view to pushing it
through the goal defended ,by the op-
! posing side.
! Racing automobiles are required.
, They must be able to withstand col-
lisions, must not be incapacitated by
climbing a few fences, and must be
so mechanically arranged that should
they turn turtle they can be righted
and put in running order in twenty
seconds.
An expert chauffeur must be at the
wheel, and an expert mallet man must
conduct the game of polo. Both of
these participants must be ever watch-
ful of the contestant's mallet, for the
overturning of a machine and the un-
expected bursting of tires. A speed
approximately thirty to forty miles an
hour is kept up by the contestants
, during the period of play. A false
move would prove serious to either
machine.
As compared with auto polo, motor-
l cycle racing is too tame to be interest-
ing. baseball and golf may be classed
I wkh pink teas, while football and ice
polo are regarded as child's play.
