LEI’S ALL GET TOGETHER
Isn’t it about time for the people of
this community to get a little closer
together - and work a little closer
harmony one with the other?
A country town and the farming
community surrounding it are broth-
ers and the odo cannot succeed with-
out the co-operation and active
assistance of the other ‘
A farming section without its ad-
jacent railroad and market- facilities
would be a back number— a dead one
with little future ahead Live farm-
ers would shun It— would haTe noth-
ing to do with it — for live men create
a surplus and they must have an
outlet for that which they create
A farm adjacent to some live town
and shioping facilities is worth double
that of a peace of ground with equal
fertility located in some obscure
section of the country The relative
values of the products of the two
farms would be about the same— the
one high the other low
Therefore the farming community
is dependent upon the town and its
advantages for much of the rural
prosperity for the high value of land
for the ease with which shipments are
made
Farmers who believe in themselves
who want a prosperous community
should encourage the town and its
industries — should buy from the home
dealers should keep the money in the
home community where it adds to the
commercial lifp of every person
Every dollar a farmer keeps in
circulation at home simply adds that
much to the riches of his own com-
munity to the value of his own hold-
ings The town and the town merchant
owe an equal duty to the farmer for
without his co-operation both- town
and merchant Would ptfTisEir'-"
The town should make the farmer
welcome let him feel that he is among
friends that it is his town that he
has a personal interest in its welfare
The merchant should make it possi-
ble for the farmer to buy his goods as
cheaply as he can from soma foreign
house and bo should keep this fact
constantly before the farmer
He should encourage the farmer by
keeping reliable goods and selling
them at a reasonable price Most
merchants do this although the ab-
sence of the merchant’s advertise-
ment from the local paper keeps the
farmer in ignorance of the fact
He should encourage the farmer in
all ways exhibit a brotherly feeling
and spirit and give the farmer to un-
derstand that he is interested in his

welfare as well as in the contents of
bis pocket book
It has been demonstrated repeated-
ly bight here in this town that farm-
ers can buy as cheaply from the local
dealer as they can from a foreign
house
But the foreign dealer floods the
farmer with advertising matter while
some local dealers expect to be taken
on faith
And the farmer is a wise one — be
takes nothing on faith
‘'Show Me” is his creed And he
goes to the man who advertises— who
"shows him”
Now isn’t it about time for us all to
think a little to get together to push
this community right up to the front?

Many ot the main thorough-

fix-- Koadi jjver jwhichheavy
loads are hauled are 'washed out

mud holes that are almost im-
passable It seems to be poor
economy to allow the roads to
remain long in such a condition
The time wasted in breakdowns
getting stuck in the mud and

FARMERS PREPARE
FOR EARLY WHEAT
DANGER OF HESSIAN FLY 111 TULSA
COUNTY WILL' SOON BE PAST
Tulsa Okla Oct 16 — Thorough
preparations for wheat and late sow-
ing is being impressed on the farmers
of Tulsa county by Dr C E Earn-
hart county farm demonstrator The
importance of this cannot be overe s-
timated according to the statements
of Dr Earnhart who has just com-
pleted an inspection of most of the
farms of the county particularly '
those having demonstration plates
In his report to the United States
department of agriculture last week
the farm demonistrator stated that
most of the farmers have their proper-
ty in splendid condition The condi-
tion of the demonstration plats with
but few exceptions is good In two
places the land was suffering from
overflow and in a few others the con-
dition was marked as being only fair
but taken as a whole the farms in the
county never have been in better
condition
Clear and cool weather prevailing
during the past week with the excep-
tion of the rain which -fell Tuesday
morning has enabled the farmers to
accomplish a great amount of ' work
During the week Dr Earnhart cov-
ered a total of 139 miles in the county
going from one end to the other and
across He states that in spite of
the discouraging result of the wheat
crop the farmers are taking greater
pains than ever in getting ready to
sow seed this year In a few daya
all danger oLthe Hessian fly will have
vanished and then the agriculturist
are advised to use all possible speed
in getting the heat into the ground
In an address delivered before the
chamber of commerce recently Dr
Earnhart praised the work ' that the
ewspapeas of Tulsa and other sec-'
lions of the state are doing in ad-
vancing the cause of agriculture He
said:
"A little over a year ago I talked
to this organization and felt all alone
We bad no position agriculturally
and seemingly no desire by bankers
and merchants for one Now the
numerous expressions from this body
show a desire to keep this branch of
Tulsa’g resources uppermost The
newspapers here as well as in other
parts of the state are doing every-
thing in their power for the advance-
ment of this work and money could
not buy the hearty support they are
giring It is true that they are hand-
ling news that help them when they
handle accounta of agricural happen-
ings but I feel sure that this work
they are doing is from a higher mo-
tive than for personal gain”
The splendid showing (nade by the
Tulsa county boys’ corn clubs at
the different fairs in this section is a
clear demonstration of the excellent
work being carried out by Dr Earn-
hart THE ROYAL HIGHWAY
