ganisation will begin work Immedi-
ately under Its motto: "Do It for Ok-
lahoma." The object of the organisa-
tion, as Its motto Implies, will be the

homa. and no oranlsatlon aiming at
that object haa been started off with
brighter prospects of proving to be
an sgency of wonderful good for the
state at large than the' aewly organ-
ised commission.
The purpose of the commission aa
set forth In the constitution and by-
laws which were adopted, are: "To
promote Oklahoma, {he development
of its natural resources, to encour-
age the cultivation of the aoll, Immi-
gration, Investment of capital, pro-
motion of aafe and sane legislation

ters where a central office will be
opened and the work of the associ-
ation will be conducted from there

campaign to enlighten the fanners of
the state on scientific farming and
live stock breeding and raising. The
speakers at the meeting Included
many railroad officials, farmers and
bualhess men and they were a unit
In the opinion that the farmer held
the key to the future prosperity of
Oklahoma and that It must be
through the products of the soil that
tha state will rely mainly for ad-
vancement. Since he playa such a
prominent part In the commercial
life of the state, the farmer will be
especially Invited to co-operate with
the commlasoln in Its work. TJ e ed-
ucational campaign planned for the
fanners probably will be the most
extensive ever conducted In this
