Outlook Promising
The hopes of many dejected
and almost crushed by experiences
due to crop failures of the past two
or three years have wonderfully
revived this spring—and right-
fully may they for the prospe&s
are most promising. Look at the
alfalfa fields, the waving wheat
and the fast growing oats and it
rejoices the heart. It is esti-
mated that Oklahoma farmers
ought to get $4,000,000 from the
sale of their first cutting of alfal-
fa alone in the next few weeks.
The alfalfa fields south on the
Rock Island look thick and heavy,
especially se between Chickasha
and Anadarko and Lawton. But
it is a question if any alfalfa or
wheat can be found anywhere
that looks better than that bor-
dering the Cottonwood in our im-
mediate vicinity. There are
places in the state where alfalfa
uncut in the fields is now selling
from $12 to $15 Per ton- °ne
farmer sold an uncut crop on a
200-aere farm for $6,000. What
a boon it will be to our people if
the present favorable crop con-
ditions continue. What a fine
thing it is again to have a garden.
Vegetables are plentiful every-
where where gardening is done—
and so are weeds unless they have
been removed. One man said it
took as much work this year to
keep the weeds down as it did
last year trying to coax things to
sweet potato and cabbage plants
have been plentiful in the com-
munity. What a splendid sight it
will be to see tomatoes growing
and ripening in the gardens again
and tubers where potatoes ought
to grow. One man says "you
must have planted your potatoes
in the light of the moon." When
answered why, he said, "they
have all grown to vines." An-
other person said "my, you will
soon have early potatoes judging
from the size of those vines." It's
a question whether it s the light
ofthe moon or really rapidly grow-
ing early potatoes that are respon-
sible for the size of those plants
Let's hope for the latter.
Battle On Again
Good-by,
House-fly:
Health boards cry
You must die.
You carry germs
Upon your feet,
And drop them in
The things we eat:
Deposit microbes
On our plates,
And scatter them
On shiny pates.
Hurtful atoms
You dispose
Upon Wopsy
Popsy's nose.
Good-by,

There's reason why
