Right now the question is before

bounty.
Shall we show that we are not
progressive enough to keep a farm
demonstrator to advise our farmers
ana gardeners in the care or their
crops?
The past year lias been a hard one
<n the country. The fifty-one per-
cent of land In cotton last year was
a debt Instead of an asset and the
farmers generally who are mostly
tenants of men who are holding the
property for prospective oil values
«re In such financial condition that
they can do but little to keep the
help that means so much to them
this coming year. Mr. Drake, the
aounty agent, has just ended two
rears of work In this county and al-
ready the principles of ciop rotation
and the necessity for livestock and
feed rrops are being recognized e\-
en by men have the continuation of
cotton planting most at heart.
The situation Is this. The Creek
oountr branch of the Kastern Agri-
cultural association up until the last
session of the legislature has re-
ceived state aid In common with oth-
er counties having similar organiza-
tions. The last legislature failed to
appropriate for that purpose and left
this county short. The legitimate ex-
-senses of the work such as the pur-
chase of hog cholera serum with
which 800 hogs were vaccinat-
ed this winter, traveling expenses of
the demonstrator, the purchase of
-selected seed to Increase the pro-
ductivity of Creek county farms The
expense of the alfalfa campaign here
•as fall and all the thousand and one
things that come up In connection
with this work have been taken care
of by Mr. Drake and he has paid out
of his pocket or personally signed
notes for them at the bank. These
notes are now past due and unless
$1,000 is raised within a very few
days we will find that the govern-
ment w"! de clare our contract null

have public spirit and the future
prosperity of this county at heart.
This money is not for Drake's sal-
ary, that Is guaranteed by the gov-
ernment and the county before the
government would send a man here,
but the commercial clubs of Sapulpa
and Bristow went into an agreement
with the government that expenses
of the office and the traveling ex
penses and the seed buying, boys and
girls club work, etc., would be main-
tained in such a manner that his
