Today there isn’t an auto
backed up in front of either of
the machine shops waiting for
repairs
The marshal continues to oc-
casionally have to remove a team
from main street and tie it to the
hitch rack on some side street
The difference between a street
walker and the postmaster is
that the former sees all the
cranky ones and the latter hears
‘em
A farmer in town yesterday
said a merchant credited him for
a pair of shoes until it rains
Now how does that merchant
expect to get pay for those shoes
after they are worn out
The awning and walk in front
of the old White & Strauss
building one of the oldest-in fact
the oldest building now standing
in the town has been torn away
and a new walk now replaced
the old one The building
is occupied by Bivens & Ingle
with a swell line of buggies and
carriages
We neglected last week
mention that in the game
ball between Seiling and Taloga

The young folks of the town

We had lost trace of Ben Mc-
Clellan and when we heard of

country but that his satisfaction
is incomplete without the Mess-
enger so here she goes

a good old (imo three days’ col-
ebration of the 4th with the

75 degrees
Some dry weather com may

FARMERS USE YOUR HUNKERS
A Net Loss of Quarter or a Half
Mllliou Dollars to the Wheat Grow-
ers of Oklahoma For This Year
Iam directing a letter of infor-
mation tothe Farmers’ - Institute
officers commercial clubs cham-
ber of commerce all the news-
papers in the seven ty-six counties
of the state calling their atten-
tion to this enormous loss and
at the same’ time giving them in-
formation necessary to overcome
same
Threshing machines are at work
in every wheat growing section
of Oklahoma and the largest
crop of wheat ever grown in
the state is ready to be marketed
At the present time the highest
priced market is Minneapolis
the buyers of that city offering
higher prices than those of any
other section of the United States
or of Europe' Minneapolis wuw
immediately and is willing to pay
a higher price for an enormous
quantity of strictly pure winter
wheat Oklahoma wheat is from
two to three weeks earlier than
that of any other section and if
Oklahoma wheat growers could
supply this demand they could
secure a good premium for
large proportion of their crop
Minneapolis needs a pure red
winter wheat positively free
from yellow berry or any mixture
of soft wheats and very few
places in Oklahoma can meet this
demand because last fall Okla
homa farmers used seed
with yellow berries or with mix-
tures of soft wheat The loss
from this seed will probably be a
half a mollion dollars this year
to the wheat growers of Okla-
homa and may be much more
In some sections of the state not
a single car of pure red wheat
is available and in many other
sections where wheat is the
main crop there are only a few
cars of pure fed wheat
In nearly every wheat grow'
ing section every load of wheat
offered by farmers shows a mix
tire of from two to five verities
sone hard some soft Turkey

was brought into the nonneru
part of the state several years
a to but practically every new
tticr brought his favorite v
r-
lety from home and now all the
wheat is badly mixed a n
although of good weight will be
at least ten cents per bushel less
than Turkey Red (Jiat is pure
It is nec:ssary for the' Farmers
Institute to take up the matter
immediately p f-getting th
farmers and business men of
the state to realize the enormous
loss to the state this year from
the yellow berry and mixec
wheats and getting an organiz
ed movement to secure impro-
ved seed so the entire area to
be sown to wheat this fall so that
this great Ios3 will not be sus
tained next year
The Ftumers’ Institute The
Farmers’ Union Commercial
Clubs Bankers and grain dea
ers and millers’ Association are
all vitally interested and shoulc
begin a movement at once in
camptign of ecu a' ion and ol“
one to secure good seed Ex
perts should select the seed tjo
be sure that it is pure and ‘ of
the kind wanted In some in
stances seed wheat was secured
n Kansas last season tVt was
as impure aa local grain Farm-
ers in those localities are now
skeptical about pure sed v v
I understand there is some
' 'urkey Red wheat in Kingfisher
Maine and Major Counties' and
few sections in Kansas where
pure wheat may be pbtained
If any fanners feel that if their
wheat is sound and pIUnp and
weigh heavy that it is an out-
rage to make a strong cut in
price because it is mixed ' or has
yellow berries but actually the
Impure wheat should bring less
than it does and it would bring
much less if the market was
well stocked ’ -
A barrel of flour from pure
Turkey Red wheat will make at
east 320 one poun baker’s
loavesof bread a barred of flour
from berry o r mixed wheal
(soft or yellow wheat) will make
as little as 260 one pound loaves
difference of about CO loaves
per barrel in favor of th hard
wfoatllour From one-half to
three-fourths of all the bread
used in the cities of the U S
is made by bakers and all the
arge bakeries keep an ! accurate
record o f the production oil
bread per barrel of flour Many
large bakeries make 3QOOO and
upward loaves of bread daily
and the difference of only a few
loaves per barrel makes an en-
ormous difference in a year’s
profits so that the demand for
pure hard wheal and tbe cut in
price for mixed wheat lis a re-
asonable business proposition
It is a general impression among
well informed men that the pure
red wheat yields morel in most
section of Oklahoma than the
mixed wheats
The Rock Island 1 Railroac
lines through their Agricultur-
al Commission Mr II M Cort
rell (who formerly ‘ superintend
ed the Farmers’ Institute work
in Colorado a number of years '
is assisting greatly to ‘ get the
farmers of Oklahoma -interested
in the selecting of pure sect I
wheat for the state - He has
thirteen states under his direc
tirnnnu rcys thrt Ok’ahoma
loi'iiira haC' ie adv:gw
over the farmers of the other
states in which he operates by
reason of the earlier harvest of
wheat !
The Board o f Agriculture
hopes through the’ Farmers’
Institute and with the assistance
of the press and commercial or-
ganization of thetate to assist
the wheat growers to save the
great loss in the next cot
Very sincerely' yours
