A special from Oklahoma City,
under date of September 25th,
brings the good news that the
Wichita Falls & Northwestern
has been ordered to "try out"
the two-cent rate for at least
four months, beginning on the
15th of October. The Railroad
Commissioners claims that it is b
part of the Katy System, and
therefore should carry passen-
gers for the same rate. While
the railroad officials admit that

would be better still, all of
them. These will wonderfully
[help you tide over the winter
i with your live stock. But, as
J we have said before, never pas-
ture your fields in the mud.
In making your calculations
suggestions do not come from
some newspaper city "dude"
who knows nothing whatever
about the different soils and the
farming industry. On the other |
hand, while the writer is but a
humble newspaperman, he has
made the interests of the farm
ers a life study. Therefore, we
trust that what we may say up-
on the subject will at least have
a respectful reading and careful
consideration.
In the first place we will say
that we fully realize that many
farmers have not the force at
their command to do just what
they would like, and that for
this reason are too often forced
to leave many things undone ,oar hearts
that should have been done at aj soon vve^'
certain time. Many have their
cotton to pick while the soil
needs immediate attention, and
they can only attend to one at a
time. This is an unfortunate
situation, and one has to do the
very best he can under such
conditions—and consider that "a
bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush."
But now is the time to prepare
your ground for next year's crop.
One day now, properly applied,
will save from three to five dur-
ing cultivation of the crop; and,
still more than this, will greatly
add to the yield of the crop.
Where it can possibly be done,
soil should be stirred while in a
certain condition -not too wet
nor too dry. Never plow in the
mud nor in the clods. An ideal
condition is when you can pick
up a handful and have it nicely; ocj jn the Senate, President Wil

Rural Credits Next
Our readers will remember
that in discussing this "Rural
I Credit System" in our issue oj
September 5th calling attention
to the farm credit section of the
currency bill, that we stated
that there was a "Rural Credit
Bill" entirely seperate and apart
| from the financial bill in process
of construction. We now have
' he pleasure to back this state-
ment with the f611owing extracts
from a special from Washington.
You will now see that we were
pret.y close to the throne and
that we knew what we were
talking about. Among ether
things, the special says:
"Washington, Sept. 28.-With
the tariff practically out of the
way and the currency bill start-
should be considered as
erate road. However, be

may, the two-cent rate v

in fine shape for early fall plow-
ing, which is an important factor
in securing good crops in this
county the following season.
If the frosts should come late,
then most of the top bolls will
ihave time to mature and greatly
increase the yield. There is yet
time to plant wheat, rye and
winter oats for pasture, if you
ave not already done so. By
.11 means provide some kind of
winter pasture to help tide you
