Good Attendance at the Commer-

DEMOCRATIC CLUB

About Soil, Crops, Conditions and Mark-
et'— His Lecture a Treat—Advises
: Farmers to Form an
Association.
A good audience was in the Op-
era House Wednesday, when the
Agricultural Meeting was called to
order by J. M. Hall who called to
the chair, A. R. Querry, Chair-
man of the committee on Agricul-
ture of the Commercial Club
Mr. Querry in a short witty
speech introduced the speaker,
Mr. F. S. White of the Agricul-
tural Department of the great
Frisco System, who spoke for
over two hours on the subject of
crops, soils and the advancement
of the farmer.
His points were well made and
he stated at the beginning that the
Frisco’s object might be called
Selfish, but as it was also a help to
the farmer, he should give them
his co-operation. If the farmer
grew plenty of well paying crops
of diffent varieties it meant work
in hauling the same for the rail-
roads. His remarks on the soil
were particularly appropriate.
There can be no question but
that the lecture will bring good
results to the farmers and fruit
growers of Tulsa and vacinity.
After the speech of Mr. White,
an organization was formed, jto he
that can be obtained for the plant-
ing of canteloupes; L. L. Lewis,
Wm. White and John Weeks.
A committee was also appointed
to select a Board of Directors who
will report at the next meeting
which will be held at the Commer-
cial (,’luh rooms next Saturday
week, March 12th at 2 p. m. Each
farmer should make himself a
committee of one to see there is a
good turnout as it means a great
deal for the country.
Mr. White left some seeds with
the secretary and also gave some
statistics in the matter of melon
growing. From Bristow, Texas,
last year was shipped to Chicago
IS car loads of cantaloupes that
netted the shipper $3.00 per crate.
Mr White will he'back again to
attend the next meeting of
the association. He will glad-
ly meet any of the farmers and
give any information that they
may ask. Mr. White is one
of the pioneers in Farmers Insti-
tute work and is a thoroughly
pO'ted and practical farmer
He informs the Democrat that
with the soil here we .should have
a canning factory, that we can
market our early tomatoes and
other vegetables and then have
.ive months to ckn in The clim-
ate and everything is favorable to
raising the best not only of vege-
tables but also the best melons
and he says that we can raise as
good melons as the Rocky Ford, i
The band boys deserve praise,
for the music before the meeting,
they playing several selections
