PEANUT PROFITS.
N. M. Harmon who resides In
Oicldo county near Apache planted
36 acres In 111 1 to Spanish peanuts.
Hi had been a cotton farmer for
many years and decided to change
Id peanuts for one crop.' Hi" bus
thrashed 1 2.'0 bushels of t ho mils
and hHs thi'in now In his burn. He
is selling t others for seed at $l."iil
it btishfl. If In- had planted the na mo
land to cotton he would have had
to make as much as two bales to the
acre to have made as much from cot-
ton as ho did from the peanuts.
.Mr. Harmon is only one farmer in
a thousand in Oklahoma who has
demonstrated that It. pays to raise
peanuts. Every farmer should have
at Imirt a small patch of peanuts.
.Th vines are i as fine for hay as al-
falfa and. thc-Caddo county farmer
ha a big feed crop besides the nuts
ready for market.

WELL DEFINED MOVEMENT
There is a well defined movement
In this state to arouse Oklahomiins
to eo-oieration In the mutter of
beautifying homes. There Is nn or-
ganlitat'on headed by President ("has.
Evans of the State Normal at Ed-
moiid whose purpose it is to secure
tho planting of more trees the grow-
ing of more rose bushes the estab-
lishment of more parks and the lay-
ing out of more lawns.
Oklahoma is new we have built in
a hurry wo have paved streets and
made other Improvements some of
which we were possibly not able to
do. We have had a wrong idea of
beauty and a wrong idea of utility.
The thought Is being reversed now
and citizens are being amused to
the Importance of civic beauty. A
pretty lawn adds one hundred per
cent to the beauty of the home and
a dozen of them adds one hundred
per emit.. to the appearance of an
entire street. The shade l red and
the rose has a value that cannot be
estimated In dollars and cents and
the movement to beautify the homes
of Oklahoma deserves th.i coopera-
tion of every citizen. Country homes
should take the same interest that
the city homes take. There is work
for nil to do and now is th-: time
to make plans for the trees and plans
for the shrubbery.
Increase the Farmer' Income.
If Oklahoma Is to prosper have
good roads modern homes and all
necessary public improvements says
John W. Wilkinson in tho Oklahoma
Farmer the Income of the fanner
must he increased. His work is
harder and involves more exposure
to risks than any other line of busi-
ness and vet it Is often one of the
least remunerative. Farming in or-
der to be attractive as a business
must pay a greater return.
A recent im estigntion made by
United States authorities reveals
no in startling facts In regard to
three groups of farms located in
townships in Illinois. Indiana and
Iowa. It was found that only one
farmer out of every twenty-two re-
ceived a labor income of more than
12.000 a year. One farmer out of
every three paid for th- privilege of

working his farm .that is. after de-
dedueting 5 per cent interest on his
investment he had nothing to show
for Ills lalKir Income.
A similar Investigation In three
townships in New York Indicated that
one-third of tho farm owners made
less than hired men one-third made
about the same an hired men and
one-third made more tluin hired men.
In less prosperous sections the per-
centage of unprofitableness greatly
Increases.
The reasons assigned for the un
profitableness of farming in the pla-
ces investigated are neglect of work
Ioa- crop yields lack of farm live-
atock poor farm organization and
unused capital and to this they
might have added poor methods of
marketing.
The expenses of a farmer who
manages poorly are practlcnlly the
same to the acre as they are for the
good farmer but his receipts are the
weak point. His neighbors succeed
not by spending less but by taking
in more. The leaks in the farm
business may be traced to a very
' large degree to inefficiency in the
production of farm crops or live
stock products lack of proper diver-
sification and unsatisfactory methods
of marketing. When these troubles
are remedied farming will liecomo
more profitable.
Sudan Grata a Coming Crop.
The following information about
Sudan grass has been given out by
the department of agronomy at Okla-
homa Agricultural and Mechalenl
College Stillwater:
"Sudan grass Is a recent Importa-
tion made by the department of ag-
riculture. It gives great promise of
iM'ing a good crop for all parts of
Oklahoma. It is an annual plant
hence nuist be seeded every year.
It wl'.i make a better hay plant and
will probably be more profitable for
hay than pasture.
"The 'phifit; resembles Johnson
grass so far as tho head and the
stem are concerned but does no!
huve any underground root stock.
There is no danger of it becoming
u weed.
"Sudan grass should ho grown in
the same way as millet. It can how-
ever be seeded in drills and culti-
vated. While seed is scarce this
may be the best way to grow it for
it will no" require so much seed.
"When sowed as millet it will take
about twenty-five pounds per acre. If
planted in drills five to ten pounds
will he sufficient..
"At this time .we know of no
source of seed. This grass how-
ever seeds freely and there should
be a good sjipply next season."

"Are you sure that Fertilizer is

GOVERNMENT
IN PETTICOATS
IS PROPOSED
ARDMORE WOMEN PLANNING TO
ELECT A WOMAN ON BOARD
OF CITV COMMISSIONERS FOR
COMING TERM.
"If they offer us a good woman
one" of business judgment' one.' of
conservatism we will ' just elect her.
What do you say boys?"
This was a remark made by a
local politician today when 'it was
stated that the women of the city
were making arrangements to put
one of their number out as a candi-
date for membership on the board of
city commissioners. The women
have selected a woman In the Fourth
ward and have offered to get in be-
hind her candidacy if she will allow
her name used. The woman has the
matter under advisement and her
name will not be divulged until she
decides what course she will pursue.
Another speaker In the crowd of
men assembled said: "It would ltdd
a dignity a serenity a sincerity
which might be good for the city.
I don't know but what It would be
a g.Kid thing."
Another man gave his comment
to the effect that the women are
modest that they should take one
of their strong women and put her
out for mayor. Continuing he said:
"A woman for mayor would please
me better than a woman for com-
mlssloner. The women have demon-
strated that they can hold executive
offices. As a rule they are more
determined than men they are kind-
er to tho poor they are more loyal
to duty they do not wink at law-
violations there would be a clean-
up campaign that would count for
something. The woman would not
be afraid of slugging she would not
fear a shot in the back she would
prosecute her campaign without fear
from the lawless element. The more
I think of the matter the more 1
favor a woman for mayor."
Another voter who stood noar
heard broken bits of the . conversa-
tion and moved closer that he might
hear it all. This speaker w as firm in
his views that he would not use his
vote to install petticoat government
in Ardmore or in any other city.
Women should stay in the home
they are not experienced in the af-
fairs of life they do not know city
building and have never given
thought to the science of government.
All will know- no end of trouble if it
attempts to shape its business affairs
to suit the whims of the women. A
woman never knows when she is sat-.
islled. sho Is always wanting some-
thing else and a woman as an exec-
utive would drive the olice from the
service.
From a conversation begun with
three there soon gathered a much
larger crowd. Politics always forms
an interesting topic of conversation
and the thought of women getting in
the limelight added to the usual in-
terest. "If the women really want to try
their strength" said one. "let them
come out for mayor. As mayor they
can try their skill as mayor they can
do something w heth t that some-
thing Is for good or ill and that will
depend upon what it is that Is done.
If one woman runs and half dozen
men. there might lo enough votes to
elect her. The woman will get the
votes of those who will want to see
every joint put out of business nnd
who belie os a woman can do it.
There will be a nuglity prejudice
against the woman many of ihem
will not want their names handled
about in every crowd of local poli-
ticians but there should be one
strong woman in Ardmore who would
bo willing to make the sacrifice."
"None of this woman-for-office
racket for me. I got enough of Kate
Barnard to do me for one natural
life-time. I voted for Kate nnd she
ran off after the will-o'-the-wisp.
I would vote for a w oman for county I
suiM-rintendent of schools but for no
other office on earth. A woman does
verv well for the first administration.
but sho tries to reform the world I
Tho w orld refuses to be reformed. J
and the woman becomes an nnar- !
chist. Just put it down please in!
your day -hook that no woman for a
city office gets my vote."
Men are more generous to women
than women are to themselves. A
woman can come nearer being elect-
ed with only men voting than' she
could if lioth nu n and women voted.
The ordinary woman believes that
n;) woman ahould mix up in matter" j
of the public.
Women folks in Ardmore are busy.
They are co-operating with th.
schools they are organizing civic

GENEROUS DONATION OF TWO
COUNTY OFFICIALS YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON THANKS OF
BENEVOLENT SOC'CTY.
Yesterday afternoon ' a delegation
from ;tbe Heneyoient society wir the
mothers' clubs of the city waited upon
the county commissioners and asked
for relief in regard to securing school
books for poor children of the city
whose parents are unable to pur-
chase them.
The commissioners were preparing
to adjourn and only two of them
were present but they informed the
ladies that there was not a dollar in
the contingent fund to do anything
with that they are going to make an
effort the coming year to have all this
regulated but for the present they
are in no position to issue warrants
on the county.
The ladies were somewhat crest-
fallen and two of tho commission-
ers Messrs. Taliaferro and Evans
after a brief consultation told the
Indies that they would donate fifty
dollars personally toward the fund
and to go ahead and buy the hooks
as far as the money went.
Right there was where "Jimmy"
and "George" precipitated what was
very close to an enthusiastic relig-
ious revival when the mourners arc
coming rapidly. The ladies shouted
for 'joy'' some gave fervent thanks
to the J.rd and all were extremely
grateful ' for the generosity of the
commissioners.
This fifty dollars will go a long way
toward helping them secure the
necessary school hooks for children
w ho are out of school and they be-
lieve it is only the first of several
donations from other public-spirited
cltiiens of the city.
