side track Bryan,

purpose of changing public senli-

man in his stead will carry much
Weight, a few may be mislead;
Those papers had just as well,
pull iu their horua, Bryan is
sure to be the next Pres.dent,

cial crisis, that ihe country has
found itself up against and
struggling frantically to pull iu
self out of,

Intensive Farming
Among the many resolution a
receiving favorable considera-
tion by the National Farmers*
congress recently in session in
Oklahoma City, was the follow*
ing resolution offered oy dele-
gate William Recce, of Caddo
county, Oklahoma.
Resolved, That we urgently
recommend to the congress of
the United States that in the dis-
posal of tho remaining portions
of agricultural lands, either by
homestead entry or direct sale,
the number of sores entered or
purchased direct by anyone per-
son, be limited to eighty (80)
act eg and if said land be located
aitbin three (3) miles of any rail*
road town, the maximum limit to
be forty (40) acres.
Mr. Reece urges this resolu-
tion because a family cau live
prosperous, contented and inde-
pendent on 80 acres.
Thousands of families are al-
ready prosperous, contented and
independent and happy on forty
acres.
With an enterprising farmer
on eaefi eighty acres, the good
roads problem will soon be settled
We will soon have good roads;
more convenient and better
schools, colleges, lodge*, ‘electric
lines of transportation, and bet-
ter mail and telephone services.
The families that are now toil-
ing in crowded cities, barely able
to pay rent and other expenses
can then be able to live in the
country where they can live in
pleuty and in far more healthy
and better surroundings, free
from debt and from the landlord
.oppression.
There are in the west millions
of acres usecl only togrbw weedrf
and the seeds are blown and
carried over the well cultivated
land. This is true also to prob-
ably a less extent, over the mid-
dle and eastern states.
Eighty acres is as much as
any one family can properly
farm. If well farmed 80 acres
will support a large family in
luxury, 8 head of horses, 10 cows
25 hogs, sheep, fowls of all kinds
and grow in addition to the usual
farm crops, abundance of fruit,
| trees for fuel, vegetables and
pasture.
Our feitile land is rapidly
growing into the bands of syndi-
cates and w allby men who buy
it not for homes, but simply for
speculation* If sold in small
tracts it gives the poor man a
chance that he can get in no
other way.
In lime of war the poor man is
called upon to step into the
ranks and tight for his country.
In tixe of peace it is but fair
that he be given the possible op-
portunity to establish a home
for himself and family. We hope
that the holders of large, wild
and unproductive tracts can be
induced to sell off 80 and 40-acre
tracts to enterprising and educa-
ted farmers. Tho country would
develop rapidly and the remain-
der of the farm will be worth
twice as much as It is cow.—Ok-
lahoman.
