better than most Pf them Both

Acreage Reduced 40
A 40 per cent reduction in cot-
ton acreage was forecast for the
state of Oklahoma by directors
of the Oklahoma Cotton Growers
Association in session recently
They made specific reports for
fifteen scattered counties in-
cluding Harmon Jackson Greer
Caddo Tillman Jefferson Gar-
vin Carter McCurtain Pitts-
burg LeFlore Sequoyah Potta-
watomie and Lincoln
"This is the first definite and
authentic estimate we have had
on the percentage of acreage re-
duction” said Carl Williams edi-
tor of the Oklahoma Farmer-
Stockman and member of the
permanent board of the cotton
association “We may take this
estimate as fairly accurate This
action is not a result of the ac-
tivities of any organization or
group but of a general outpour-
ing of sentiment against the pro-
duction of cotton to the exclusion
of other “crops The cotton
growers of the state are ' coming
to realize that food and feed as
well as cotton and other cash
crops must be grown on Oklaho-
ma farms”

have been played here last Sun-
day was called off on account of

A game between the Davis and

to get a game with some team to
be played here next Sunday
Later— A game has been
matched with the team from the
Wilson & Co packing plant at
Oklahoma City This is said to
be one of the best amateur teams
in the State and as the winnings
of the Davis team entitle it to a
similar reputation a very inter-
game is expected

News From the Oil Field
Water broke in again in the
Choate well sec 17 In 2e and
Mr Moriarty shut down' Satur-
day night since which time no
work has been done He is
awaiting the arrival of Clay J
Webster president of the Noco
Oil Co and Paul M Pope gen-
eral manager of the Choate Co
who are to decide whether to
continue operations as at present
or drill deeper or abandon the
well altogether These ofAeiaHr-
are expected here today
When this well is completed or
abandoned -whichever it is de-
cided to do Mr Moriarty will go
back and finish the Cornhusker
well out of which he was trying
to make a producer when he
moved his rig to the Choate well
last fall
Roads NeedGoide Posts
Since taking his auto trip to
Arkansas on which he was mis-
directed several times and got
off his road a time or two R A
Vaughn is -convinced that the
roads should have a better way
of being marked While part of
the road was marked all right
he said most of it was not mark-
ed at all and Mr Vaughn says
it is strange the number of peo-
ple who cannot give correct di-
rections to travelers He says
if the citizens of the towns real-
ized how much the traveling
public appreciate well-marked
roads each city would see that
the roads in their section bore -the
proper guide posts Such
signs may seem unnecessary to
those familiar with the roads
but a plnirlv parked road is a
boon to the traveling public and
this is a day of much overland
travel
Two Papers a Week Now
In order to better serve its pa-
trons and its city in general the
Sulphur Democrat has changed
from a weekly to a semi-weekly
and now issues two ‘papers a
week Announcement is made
by fcditor Stevenson that the
venture will be continued
through the summer and longer
if the patronage justifies Sul-
phur is plenty large to have a
semi-weekly paper and Editor
Stevenson will give them a good
one if the business interests of
his city will back him up Here’s
hoping they do
