TEXAS DOING IT
TEXAS would like to go in for safe farming. That is, bank-
ers, publishers of agricultural papers and various other
leaders, some of them farmers, would like to have the state
io it, says the Kansas City Tinies. And by safe farming they
mean the kind of farming Texas traditionally has not fol-
lowed. the kind that gets away from the one-crop system; ]
diversifies and increases its chances of profits.
What impression the idea will make on the great mass
>f farmers themselves is not certain. Growing of cotton as
a Cfuh crop and neglect of other crops has been the easy
thing to do; but not always the profitable thing. It is t
Asserted, for example, that proceeds from the 4,000,000 bales
of cotton produced in the state last year will not equal the
tost of growing the crop.
Breaking away from the one-crop plan has been difficult
in the cotton as in the wheat states. In both, only relatively
small numbers of farmers have ceased depending on a single
crop, uncertain as that always is because of weather condi-
tions and the danger of over-production. It requires new
methods, often more scientific methods, to diversify, and it
means longer seasons of work. But it means, above all, get-
ting fanning on a business basis. In Iowa, in Wisconsin, in
Georgia and in other states where the one-crop system has
lost some of its popularity, prosperity, not for a single y ear
but for extended periods has come to those farmers that go
in for cattle, hog raising, dairying, fruit growing and other
varied production.
  
FARM-RAISED FOOD IN OKLAHOMA
THE highly important value of the Oklahoma cotton
farmer in producing his own foodstuffs is brought to
light in figures gathered by the Oklahoma A. and M. college.
No more interesting agricultural disclosures have ever been
presented for Oklahoma’s consideration than the facts found
by the A. and M. Confined to brevity this is what the col-
lege authorities found:              ...    . .       .
Figures based on information received from Jackson and
Greer county farmers show it is not farmers who raise a
small part of their food, nor those who raise a very large
proportion of it, but those who grow a medium amount, who
unquestionably are the men who will “get ahead’ financially.
Farmers who raise 30 per cent of all food they consume
have been able to save in their entire earning life at an aver-
age rate of but $257 a year. In contrast to this group are
farmers who raised 30 to 50 per cent of their food and who
saved an average of $895 each year since they began work
for themselves.                                            . ,
“It is impossible to say just how much farm-raised food
causes difference in earning and saving power of these
groups of men,’’ says th£ report from the department of
agricultural economics, “but it is easy to see how it could
plav a vital part in it.”                                        ,
It was found by the economists that farmers who raised
30 to 50 per cent of their food had an average net wealth
of $17,636, after deducting'all inherited wealth. Also it was
shown that thev spent $126 less for family living in 1924
than did those who raised less than 30 per cent of their food,
although the second group had an average wealth of only
$4,754, slightly more than a fourth of the wealth of the first
RroUP                                   ..            X xU- 1
“These facts should cause every cotton grower to think
constructively, especially when the danger of cotton over-
production evidently is so eminent. He should ponder the
great financial advantages that come from a well balanced
Bystcin of farming. Without doubt, a balanced system of
farming in many cases is largely responsible for financial
tains,” the report conclude*.  
SHADE IKALLEN’S CASE
(Sallisaw American)
SHADE WALLEN, superintendent of the Five Civilized
Tribes, has been deposed—for a time at least.
This pleasing piece of news came through the press of
Monday, and was fully verified in Tuesday’s papers. The
office over which he has held sway for two years and more
will be investigated and audited from cellar to garret in the
full belief that things have ffi»t been going just as they should
during the Wallen term •$-office. Charges and counter
charges have been hurled bad* and forth for 12 months past
and the columns of the eastern Oklahoma press have been
filled with blunt accusations of mismanagement and incom-
petency, and with intimations of worse things. A special
“nosing committee” came to Oklahoma last year and cast its
eye along the horizon, returning to Washington with some
sort of report that Wallen and everybody connected with the
Indian office at Muskogee were pure and untainted. Evi-
dently someone at Washington doubted this. The “powers
that be” wanted to see farther, and this special investigation
coming as it did like a bolt of lightning from a clear sk\,
means that a real investigation will be made. Pay dirt may
be found, and if the results warrant it, there should be no
delay in prosecuting the guilty ones and giving them the
punishment which may be their just due.
We of the Cherokee tribe, with the “Indian capital
located at our very door, have felt for a long, long time that
things were far from what they should be. \\ hisperings and
veiled remarks have pointed the way to verified facts that
fullv justify the most thorough investigation. If Shade
Wallen and’his followers are innocent, then full exoneration
should be given and praise meted out, but if they are guilty
then let punishment come.
