What the American Cotton
Association proposes to do to
better conditions of the cotton
interests in Oklahoma is con-
tained in the following digest
made by Carl Williams, editor
of the Oklahoma Farmer-Stock-
man:
1. To protect the interests
of the cotton producer and to
improve bis condition.
2. To promote economic reg-
ulation of cotton production to
the end that supply shall be so
adjusted to demand that the
producer shall at no time be re-
quired to sell his product at less
than a fair and reasonable pro-
fit.
3. To promote intelligent di-
versification of crops, and to
develop markets for such crops,
other than cotton, as may be
proftably raised.
4. To improve and enlarge
present existing warehousing
facilities and to secure addition-
al facilities to the end that the
producer may carry his crop,
or such part as he may desire,
at the minimum expense and
physical damage and at the
maximum of security and finan-
ciability.
5. To broaden the markets
for raw cotton and to enlarge
the uses of cotton and cotton
goods.
6. To improve and increase
transportation and distribution
facilities.
7. To collect information as
to both domestic and foreign
consumption of cotton, the
state of trade, the extent of
acreage, supply and condition
i of crop, and all other informat-
ion of practical interest of the
! cotton industry, and to dissemi-
nate the results through sever-
al sub-organizations to every
member of every community,
together with directions as to
the course to be pursued in or-
der to secure the best results
in view of the facts disclosed.
8. To do all and singular
whatsoever may be conducive to
the stability and profitableness
of the cotton producing indus-
try.
FARMERS STILL HOLD
BIG PER CT. WHEAT
Oklahoma City. Nov. 12, The
state board of agriculture, in a
recent report, estimated that
43.7 percent or 21,939,000 bush-
els, of Oklahoma’s wheat crop
is still in the hands of the farm-
l ers. The largest percentage on
j hand, according to the board’s
estimate from reports of field
agents, is found in the extreme
j northwestern and southwest-
ern counties.
The crop already threshed
’ sustained a loss of 2.5 percent
! because of insuficient protect-
ion from weather. This loss,
amounting to approximately
1.250,000 bushels was due ot
the exposure of the crop both
in the shock and after thresh-
ing. Farmers who shocked their
wheat experienced only slight

Why be satisfied with a machine that
reproduces music in a cold, mechanical
way when you can have an instrument
that Re'Chxatls music which cannot be
distinguished from the original?
You can't tell the difference between
the living artist and the New Edison—
but don't take our word for it. Just send
for the booklet “What the Critics Say"
—it proves that what we say is true.
Here is a sample, MThe ear could not tell

No matter how skeptical you may he all doubt will be swept
aside once you hear the manvlous New Edison at our store.
