THE LEXINGTON LEADER
PUTTING AUTO TO WORK IN FIELD
O--**r!
m
The above picture shows F. D. Watson, who lives one mile west of
Snyder. Okla. dragging cotton stalks with a two-Bectlon harrow propelled
by * popular priced automobile. The Kiowa County agent, F. F. Parker,
•ays Mr. Watson put old casings on over hie rear casings, put mud chains
aver this, and harrowed 70 acres of cotton stalks in one day.
The stalks, claims the county agent, were torn to pieces and will not
interfere with cultivation of this year's crop The total cost for gasoline
and oil was $3.60. It would have taken a man and team with a one-row stalk
cutter about seven days to do the same work, it is claimed. While this
looks mighty easy in the picture it may be a little rough on a Sunday car
and anyone giving this method a trial should see that the draft Is well dis-
tributed so that all of the strain will not be on the rear ajle.

IN order to better show our Ladies' Suits, Dresses, Coats and Waists we
are goini* to show and display them at MRS. MATTIE ELKIN'S MIL
LINERY SHOP in Lexington. These are all advanced styles direct
from New York and Chicago, and we can assure all those who come to inspeet
them to say they are the smartest clothes even shown.
THIS gives you ail opportunity to get these at your own door, and doesn't
conflict with your local merchants as this is merchandise that you would
probably have to send out of town for. I want the Lexington people
to see what we are showing. We want to become better acquainted and to
convince you that we sell the highest grade of Suits, Dresses and Waists at
reasonable prices.

OKLAHOMA LEADS NATION
IN SHEEP INCREASE
Did you know that Oklahoma gained three sheep tor every one gained
by Kansas, her nearest competitor, during 1915? For the past two years
this state has lead the nation in the lncreaae in sheep. In 1916, the num
ber of sheep in the nation decreased by 1.6 percent while In Oklahoma thi-
number increased by 26 percent.
Oklahoma has never ranked with the big sheep producing states but
we are rapidly gaining that distinction. Our present average Is 1.4 sheep to
the square mile and as the national average is 16.2 sheep to the square mile |
there 1b no danger of over population for some years, even at the presetu
phenomenal rate of increase.
Any Oklahoma farmer who cares to make a study of opportunities
with sheep in this state ahould write to the Agricultural Kiperlment Sta-
tion at Stillwater for Bulletin No. Ill, "Sheep Husbandry in Oklahoma."
