Lincoln County Men Carry Off the
Lion's Share of the
Prizes.
Columbus, O., Feb. 4—Oklahoma
a'^ain has won high honors in agricultur-
al products in competition with the
scientific farmers of thirty states of the
union. At the Columbian exposition in
Chicago in 1892 Oklahoma won the gold
medal for the best wheat, competing
against the grain from south of the
equator, Argentine sending her best
cereals and Europe and Asia making ef-
forts to win the grand prize. Again, in
1905, at the Louisiana Purchase exposi-
tion at St. Louis, Oklahoma captured
the gold medal for the best corn raised,
not only in America but competing
against the corn raisers of the world.
Today Oklahoma has for the third time
in her short agricultural history landed
championship honors in classes which
indicate that Oklahoma is the coming
great agricultural state. Contesting
with thirty other states, Oklahoma was
first in cotton and second ir. alfalfa seed
kaffir corn and broom corn, three prin-
cipal crops of America.
Chandler, Okla., was the city that ap-
pears to be the Oklahoma star at the
exposition which is housed in the seven
monster buildings of the Ohio state fair.
E. M. Tardy, of the Lincoln county cap-
ital, won second prize for alfalfa seed,
showing against the products of Colo-
rado, Kansas and California, three
states that claim to be the prize raisers
of that wonderful forage crop.
In the contest for kaffir corn, Horace
Ssrong won second prize, E. M. Tardy
won third and G. W. Callahan won fifth.
All of these competitors reside at
Chandler, Okla.
In the competition for barley Chand-
ler again entered a display, E. M. Tardy
winning third prize. The same winner
carried off first honors in the cotton
competition, winning first prize against
all the southern states competing. The
finest broom corn on exhibition, wl)ich
was awa ded first prize, was raised in
Oklahoma.
In the competition for prizes open
only to farmers of the state of Oklahoma
the following prizes were awarded:
One ear corn, any variety, George H.
Hinds, of Westville, first; R. D. Ross,
of Tahlequah, second.
Ten ears of white corn, C. S. Dabney,
of Minco, first; R. D. Ross, of Tahle-
quah, second; George H. Hinds, of
Westville, third; G. E. West, of Ard-
more, fourth; E. M. Tardy, of Chandler,
fifth.
Ten ears yellow corn, Ross B. Fergu"
son (school boy) of Minco, first; C. S.
Dabney, of Minco, second; E. M. Tardy
of Chandler, third; Claude M. Ferguson,
of Minco, fourth; Leslie Callahan, of

tional department of agriculture and

POULTRY SHOW
IS A SUCCESS
Enid, Okla, Feb. 4.—The sev-
enth annual exhibit of the Big
Center Poultry and Pet Stock as-
soction of nothern Oklahoma,
which closed here Saturday, after
noon after a weeks run, proved to
be the first financial success of
any exibit conducted by this as-
socation.
It is said that after premiums
have been paid from the receipts
there will be a small amount left.
Attendence at the show during
End of Fight For Lower Inter-State
Schedule Not Yet in
Sight.
A sweeping reduction of twenty
percent in all livestock rates in
Oklahoma on distances more
than 100 miles was made in an
order issued by the corperation
I commission and was issued on
evidence which showed that the
local livestock market is being
| discriminated against by the rail-
road of the state.
The effect of the order is to
give relief to the local market
from these discriminations, after
fou'1 months of constant effort
on the part of those inteoested
to get the rates reduced. The
railroads stubbornly fought the
reduction, but the evidence war-
ranted the conclusion that there
has been discrimination which
will be prevented in the future.
The order places the livestock
market of Oklahoma City on an
equal footing with thar of W ich-
ita, and Fort Worth so far as in-
! terstate shipments are concerned.
In the future the competition
will be in prices, buying ability
and capacity of plants,with no
handicap in the form of higher
rates attached to Oklahoma City.
The order will go into effect en
February 18, and from that date
the shipments of livestock into
the local market should begin to
increase. The Oklahoma farmers
are anxious to patronize the local
market providing conditions are
not favorable.
Mrs. Ella Flayrg Young of Chic-
ago now finds herself in that ui -
ique position. Handicapped as
she was by the precedent of the
life of the National Education
Association in never having had
anything but male ability at its
head belore, she has neverthe-
less come off victor and carried
the day against the "old guard"
in the fractional differences
among the officers of that organ-
ization and come through it
crowned with the laurel wreath
of peace.
When a woman has proved her
ability to accomplish the impove-
ments which have been made by
Mrs. Young since she became
superintendent of the Chicago
schoolsi it would seem she could
be justifiably trusted with her
share of the management of the
National Educational Association
matters, considering that those
matters are supposed to concern
the teaching force of the country.
— Farmers Wife.

That ability should be recog-
nized only when it is possessed
by a man is hardly this side of
ridiculous.
