The maj <rity of Richard A
B.llups for state Senator in the
6th district was 2.219. A good
vote for a man a few Washita
county democrats were going to
defeat. He expects this to be
th'f last lime he will hear sweet
election news.
The Washita store has moved their Dry
Goods and Cloak Departments into the new
room just south of their old building, and
have the stock in pretty good shape, but not
nearly so nice as it will be a few days hence.
Moving has been hampered considerably
by their large trade and it has required more
time, also it is a task to move so large and va-
ried stock as this establishment carries.
Add the new stock bought this fall to their
present stock this store will be better equip-
ped than anyother in the Southwest to ac-
commodate and satisfy their customers, and
they will take pains to see that no customer
goes away dissatisfied.
If you are not a customer it will pay to be-
come one at once as they have some great
bargains to hand out to their friends.

Some Improvements,
The Frisco R. R. contemplate
making some improvements
about the station here, among
which will be a brick platform, a
30 foot extension on the east of
the depot and an extension west
of the cotton platform to the coal
house, thus increasing its capac-
ity about one third.
These improvements have heen
under advisement for some time
but it is only recently they have
been fully determined up <n.
The present office will be made
six feet wider and the prospects
of a separatejexpress office in the
extreme east end of the building
are very good.
The depot building ind plat
form will be raise about one foot
in order to keep out the mud and
litter which comes down Main
street whenever it rains hard.
With these improvements, and
perhap® before, another helper
will be added to the office force
giving Agent Flemming a better
opportunity to get out among the
business men.

Farmers Institute
So far we have had suggested
for discussion at the annual
meeting of the Washita County
Farmers Institute, the sut>j cts
of cotton, forest trees, ornamen-
tal trt'e* and Bermuda grass
each < f which is very impoitant
and something I am sure in
which mat y farmers «ill be in-
terested,
The aut j^ct of the improve-
ment of cotton is perhaps the
most important because of the
fact that cotton will always be
one of the piincipal crops of
Washita county. There is a gen-
eral complaint this year of the
smallness of the boles. This is
indeed a serious detect as it in-
creases the cost of picking and
also cuts down the production of
lint.
It is a well known fact that a
first class picker can pick froui
100 to 150 pounds more cotton in
Texas than he can in Oklahoma,
due mostly to the big sprangled
stalk and the scattered bolea.
It is said by the Experiment
station that cotton responds
more readily to seed seduction
and careful breeding than*any
other farm plant; that the possi-
bilities for improving along a line
to meet the conditions of given
localities, is easier and greater
than corn or wheat.
Oa ahoma needs a low squatty
stalk with boles thickly set It
needs above all a large fluffy
hole of an early maturing variety.
A few farmers have realiz'd the
importance of these things and
set about to secure them. Those
are the farmers we especially in-
vite to h.'lp us in this discussion.
The importaL.d of tree pout-
ing grows with each year, both
trees for posts and the beautify,
ing of farm homes. Posts that
you buy are getting smaller and
the price getting larger each
year. Why not grow a few
thousand at home? Lst's talk it
over.
Many Lrms are not suitable
for alfalfa yet they need some
tame grass for pasture and mea-
dow. Bermuda grass, after 16
years of experimenting, has been
found to be the grass for Okla-
homa's sandy farms. Let's find
out more about it November 22
and 23.
We will soon have the program
complete and will publish and
keep you posted.
Very sincerely,
Geo. Bishop.
