the market value of Lis product.
The common method of mar
keting broom corn has been to
sell to independent buyers or
factory representatives at- -a
stated price a ton for "brush"
to be delivered to the nearest
shipping point, This year the
Oklahoma Broom Corn Growers'
association, a co-operative com-
modity marketing association, is
tx Dec ted to market, at least,
seventy-five pereent of the crop.
The growers' association plans to
obtain a stable market by a uni-
form method of grading and by
"pooling" the crop, .the market-
ing of which will be handled by
an expert salesman employed by
the association.
Fourteen counties in Oklahoma
produce sixty percent of the
world's broom corn supply, the
majority of them being in the
"dwarf belt" of the western
part of the state.
Kaffir corn and such sowed
feeds as cane and Sudan have all
beem damaged to a small extent,
but will come out and make a
fair crop should a rain come any
ways soon. Melons, tomatoes and
other truck farm products are
now being marketed in sufficient
quantities to supply the demand
here.

ulace on their way to Mission
Valley, Iowa.
The county commissioners held
a very busy session the first of
th'e week, taking care of a large
amount of business.
The roads over the county are
not in very good shape owing to
the fact that the heavy traffic in-
cident to the hauling of the
wheat to market has cut them up
and it will not rain so they can
be repaired. But don't blame the
commissioners hecause we have
just learned thrt they have no
contrail over the weather man.

Two locations for oil tests have
have been made in Dewey county
during the last two weeks, one
near Leedey, in the southwest-
ern part of the county, and the
other two miles eaat and one and
one-half miles north ot Aledo
Oil developement, which has
been talked about in Dewey
county for several years, now
appears to be taking the form ofv
a reality.
The Leedey location is on the
northeast corner of the south-
west quarter of section 10-16-21,
owned by Mary oeba. The Kel-
log Drilling Company of Fort
Worth, Texaq, hos the contract
to do the drilling and present in-
dications are that the Leedey
territory will be given a com-
plete test for oil.
The Aledo location is on the
south east quarter of section 22-

prising eome 10.000 acres in

ing Company, of Bartlesville and
Ponca City, are in charge of the
ay.usl work and are erecting a
standard rig with a force of
eight men.
The progress of these ttvo tests
will be watched with interest by
both oil men and Dewey county

the field in different parts of the
