the freight rates are so high that they
practically prohibit the shipment of
peaches from this section of the coun-

ported in this section at the present
time but the growers are besitaling
their shipment The rate from Ard-

According to the statement of Wal-

Ponca City Okla — Cattle gradually
are on the increase In northern Okla-
homa and particularly on the range
This fact has led farmers and others
to believe that more cattle will be
fed in his vicinity during the coming

are those in the Otoe Osage and Kaw
Indian countries and in those vici-
nities a great amount of short crops
for roughness are being grown while
the corn crop throughout this entire
section is fully up to the big acreage
of 1920
There is a continuous shipping of
steers to market even at tle present
time by cattlemen of this portion of
the state and the evident Intention Is
to get rid of all this type of livestock
on which practically every owner lost
money because of tbe drop in price
