FARM AND LiVESTOCK
DIAL TELLS BOW 10
FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL
Proper .soil cultivation, early ma-
turing cotton seed and intensive cul-
tivation during the hot, dry weather
will largely heat the boll weevil, de-
clares Hardy Dial, the boll veevil
authority who, with President . A.
Conners of the state experiment sta-
tion at Stillwater, and C. N. Roach,
member of the state hoard of agri-t
culture, visited this county this week
and addressed an enthusiastic gath-
ering of cotton farmers, at Canadian
last Tuesday. County Agent Nelms
and District Agent Milstead also at-
tended. Mr. Nelms says it was one
f the best farmers' meetings he has
ever seen in the county. More than
12") farmers were in attendance from
all over the north end of the county.
Deep plowing or sub-soiling in the
preparation of the land for the com-
ing crop was emphasized by Mr.
Dial. He declared that soil prepara-
tion is e<iual to fertilizer, and that
the fall plowing is particuarly ad-
vantageous, with re-breaking and
bedding in the spring. He also point-
ed out that cotton seed should be ob-
tained from this or even farther
northern belts, rather than from the
south, in order to make a quick-ma-
turing cotton \ariety. As for culti-
vation, he urged early and often
plowing of cotton, and in defense of
the theory that hot wqatlfer kills
boll weevils, 'ho said that if a hand-
ful of boll weevils were placed in the
center of a 6-foot circle of sand ex-

known ir. the auto repair and machin
ist field here, have formed a new
company to he known as the Ford
Service Company, and have located

—The Home Town Paper
SOME folks make the mistake of thinking of tho
home town newspaper as a thing, a contrivance
of ink and paper, sometimes not a great quantity
of either, when compared with big city papers. But
the home town newspaper is not a thing, it is a serv-
ice, just the same as is the telephone. And just as the
$12 or $15 a year which we pay for the telephone
service seems not too much, so is the $2 or $3, which
at most is charged for the home town paper, trifling,
compared with the real service which the paper, itself
an institution, renders to all thfc other institutions ot
the community.

The Farmer
1 hat owns his own farm is the best and happiest citi-
zen. He is independent and takes more interest in the
community he lives in because he is a tax payer. He
does not have to give part that he makes each year to
the land lord, and all improvements he puts on his farm
adds to its value and his wealth, and when he gets old
he has an independent living and does not have to move
from farm to farm, or does not have to live with his
children or kin people.
We have farms from 10 acres on up, including
large ranhces. Terms are reasonable and prices are
right,. If you are interested let us show them to you.
