il
Election is Over
Our duty now is plain, wo
should put our shoulders to the
wheel and loolc well to the future..
The present prospects are the
best we have had for several
years in this part of the country
for a good crop the coming year.
There has been plenty of mois-
ture to bring'wheat up and wint-
er pasture on wheat bids fair to
be excellent.
Now is the time to got busy
and make the best of our oppor-
tunities, stop talking policits and
talk about improved methods of
rfnnning: see that your fences
are all in good shape; look after
your orchards see that they
are in good shape to absorb
and hold all the moisture; attend
to pruning the trees and des-
troying insect eggs that are on
the limbs and bodies of the trees
protect the roots by placing
mulch or dirt about them, pro-
tect your young trees from ra-
vages of the rabits by either tie-
ing cornstalks about them or in
some other way that will insure
them rgainst being girdled. Now
is the time to select your seed
corn and put it in a dry place for
use in the spring.
It would be our advice to most
farmers in this vicidity to figure
largely on kalir and mi o maize
for a spring crop, Indian corn is
to uncertain. It has been our
observation that kafir and milo
has been cultivated iu entirley
tbo careless a manner, usually
being planted as a sort of an after
thought, after every thing else
had failed and often planted and
then left to its sell to make a
crop, allowed to be smothered
with weeds Now we claim if it
i» worth planting that it should
be given a good opportunity,
we learn that many bankers
throughout the state are advoca
ting kaffir corn and offering to
loan more money on a prospec-
tive kafir crop than other crops.
It is usually concceeded that
katir and kindred crops are more
certain in the western and semi
arid regions than any other crop,
the food value of these serials are
unquestioned. Why not get busy
along these lines and make the
nexb fou r years the most pros
perous than ever in the history
of Oklahoma, policits will have
nothing to do with it, it is up to
us, the people’ to doit.
