that his bank would pay cash
premiums fo the farmers for

he could perfect his plans every-
body had joined hands and
organized a county fair as-
sociation. In this way he grew
closer attention to his business
and helped Okfuskee County. He
is constantly using his news-
paper space for purposes of this
kind. The home newspaper
can be made the most valuable
asset of a comunity," says
Banker Niles. "It can be used
to stimulate every line of
business, but it can do nothing
unless it is given generous

never settled, will be determin-
ed once and for all when east
meets west in Oklahoma at the
today, but we International Dry-Farming Con.
the hour set for gress and Exposition in Tulsa
next October.
In the past years all of west-
ern Oklahoma has exhibited at
the state fair at Oklahoma City,
while the crops from the eastern
sid?. of the state have been
shown at Muskogee. But the
two sections didn't come fully
into competition. This yeaa; for
the first time, all of Oklahoma
-- — will meet a Tulsa, wh*re bio-
last reports prizes wi,j be Qffered {qy 'CQUnty
exhibits open to the world and
other prizes will be given for the
best in Oklahoma only. When
the Tulsa show is over, there
will be one county in Oklahoma
whose people can back up their
statements with proof that they
live it the best crop growing
section of the state.
Every district is entering into
the contest with energy,and en-
thusiam. Already the com-
.mittees in thirty Oklahoma
107 counties have officially applied
I for space at the big Tulsa show,
and the officers of the Congress
8966.86 have unofficial knowledge that
at least twenty-five more are
actually at work on the collec-
tion of exhibits. From Adair
and Ottawa on the east to Ellis,
Beckham and Texas on the west
the counties of Oklahoma have
their eyes on Tulsa and are
eagerly working and planning
to capture the big state prize.
Aside from the counties men-
tioned Blaine, Carter, Cherokee,
Creek, Comanche, Caddo, Cleve-
land, Cotton, Jackson, Johnson,
Latimer, Logan, Lincoln' Mc-
Clain, Noble, Ottawa, Osage,
Pawnee, Pottawatomie, Pitts-
burg, Roger/s, Stephens, Tulsa,
Texas, and Woodward have al-
ready asked, through their local
organizations or through special
committees, for space in the big
state buildsng which ia to house
all exhibits from Oklahoma.
This building will be 84 by 225
feet in size and will contain 19,
j 000 feet of fioor space, more
5895.371 than half of which has already
been asked for.
One booth nine by fifteen feet
has been reserved for every
county in Oklahoma. Exhibits
are actually expected from sixty
counties, and the eitrad booths
will probably be divide among
those counties which are prepar-
ing thi largest and most attrac-
tive exhibits. The Congress
officials say that not a foot of
space in the big stats building
will be available after Septemb-
, er first, at which time the build-
• ing itself will be about half com-
pleted.
