Oklahoma naturally suggests itself
in some way to the man who is seek-
ing new lields. The eye that scans
the map involuntarily halts upon this
interesting spot in the heart of the
continent, while the mind dwells upon
the good reports that have come from
the newest of states. It is a country ^ ^
that in many ways appeals to thei man' in all are to be built.
who has his head up and is looking
toward the future.
Whatever the process of home-nud-
ing, the selection, if it be pursued to
the ultimate, leads to Oklahoma. By
investigation and by comparison the
state stands out, both In crop produc-
tion and crop diversity .
Judged by its geographical associa-
tions, its climatic behavior or its topo-
graphical appearances, Oklahoma
conies up to fell requirements, but it
is in the crucial test of crop pro-
duction that it convinces. It looks
best to those who have lived there the
longest.
Oklahoma farmers market crops
nearly every month in the year. 'IHiey
grow every crop known to the tem-
perate zone. The northern counties
belong lo what has been designated as
the wheat belt, yet wheat is grown
in every county in the state. The
southern counties belong to the cot-
ton belt, yet cotton is grown in every
county in the state. The eastern coun-
ties belong to the great Ozark trait
region, yet there is not a county in
the state but what grows fruit in
abundance. The western counties are
included in the most approved alfalfa
zone, yet there is no part of Okla-
homa but what boasts of its alfalfa
yield.
Oklahoma is the home of all the
crops, and yet its fanners are slaves
to none of them It is a land ol diver-
sification, a land of agricultural inde-
pendence.
In a space of time no longer than
that required for a man to reach liis
maturity Oklahoma has grown to those
dimensions which place It among the
nrst states of the Union. From a cat-
tle range and Indian Kunting ground
it has been transformed into a great
commonwealth, with 1,700,000 people
and an annual crop production valued
at $121,996,000.
Of the total area of 44,324,160 acres
of land in Oklahoma, there are at the
present time 21,353,395 acres under
farm control and more than 10,000,000
acres actually in cultivation, exclusive
of native pastures. Yes, Oklahoma ha
been busy. All this has been done in
a little more than twenty years and
under all the difficulties of pioneering.
Six out of every ten farmers in Okla-
homa own their own homes. Many of
them are living upon the land they
homesteaded. The landlord has no
foothold and the helpless class is not
to be found. The Oklahoma farm is
well improved and well Jtept. It is

The centennial celebration hail al- ]
ready been agitated for two years In
Ohio and the legislature ol the slate
had already appropriated $>0,000 The
legislature of Pennsylvania hud ap-
propriated $100,000 and the Rhode
Island legislature had appropriated
$25,000 by a unanimous vote, but the
governor vetoed the hill alter It bad

Rills have been Introduced in tlie
legislatures of New York for $75,000.
in Illinois and Wisconsin for $50,000

will do equally well, because that
slate furnished nearly nil the soldiers
lor General Harrison's army in the
war of IS 12. and a squad of the gun
ners in Commodore Perry's fleet A
good deal Is expected from Michigan,
but nothing has been done there yet
except to appoint a commission to
meet with those representing the na
tlonal government anil Ohio, Pennsyl
vanla. New York, Rhode Island. Ken
tucky, Wisconsin and Illinois.
It Is proposed lo erect a lofty col-
umn, at least 450 feet high, with a I
lighthouse anil a wireless telegraph
office at the lop. and at the base ar !

base of the monument.
While the Perry victory will not be
celebrated until 1913, arrangements
are already under way In various lake
ports along the lower Lake Krie pre-
paring for the occasion which will fit-
tingly mark the one hundredth anni-
versary of Perry's victory. Not only
