connected with this organisation,
and Greer county fanners should
not fail to promptly avail them-
selves of thia opportunity to organ-
ize for the mutual advancement of
interest and knowledge in farming
and horticulture. The blanks are
at this office and any farmer desir-
ing to sign as a member can call
here, or if any farmer will take in-
terest enough to take the papers
and secure the necessary signatures
we will be glad to turn them over
to him or them We would like to
see the institution organized as we
are sure it will be appreciated and
of benefit to the community. For
tear that some who do not under-
stand the nature of this movement
we will say that it is entirely non-
political. Politics cut no figure
whatever in the organization or
aim of the Farmers' Institutes.

secretary THOBURN's LETTER.
guthrie, o. T., 7-24. '°3-
Mr. H. L. Crittenden,
Mangum, O. T.
Dear Sir:—Obedient to your re-
quest, I herewith enclose blank ap-
plication and petition for the or-
ganization of a county farmers' in-
stitute in Greer county. The peti-
tion will require the ^natures of
fifteen farmers, as provided by law.
Three of these petitioners then ap-
pear before a notarv and qualify as
directors on tfie regular charter ap-
plication in order to obtain the
proper recognition as a chartered
corporation. The secretary of the
territory usually makes 110 charge
for issuing such charters and, I
suppose, the notary public will be
equally as liberal. This is not for
the purpose of confusing anybody,
but merely to comply with the law
which provides for the organization
and maintenance of the board of
agriculture, a body which must be
more or less responsible since it is
charged with the performance of
some very important duties. Each
chartered county farmers' institute
elects one delegate to the meeting
which chooses the members of the
board.
I have filled out the application
blank as far as possible so that it
will require but little work to com-
plete it.
When the necessary preliminaries
are completed I will be glad to at-
tend the first meeting, if it is so de-
sired, as I want to meet some of
the people before arranging for the
annual meeting which will lie held
some time in the early part of the
winter. The farmers' institute has
become recognized as an important
factor in the life of many agricul-
tural communities in the older com-
monwealths and I am glad to know
that your people are interested in
seeing one organized in Greer
county.
Trusting that this matter will l>e
made the subject of early action 011
the part of those who should be
mc*t interested, lam
Very truly your.
J. B. Thoburn,
Sec. Okla. Board of Agriculture.

glad to say the kickers are begin-
ning to pull and if you have any
kickers up there that want to sell
out and not wanting to come send
us their names and have us here se-
cure them a buyer at double their
monev. This can be done here at
any time if the parties will only
sell. I am not telling this to make
some think the)' have a good thing
here for they may be fooled. I
heard a lady say some days ago
that she despised Mexico because
the stovepipe did not run out thro'
the top of the house and there is so
many things like that to give a
country a black eye that I could
not say everyone will be pleased,
but the majority of people who can
look over such misfortunes like it
here very much.
It will, of course, take some time
to beautify our homes here as we
are making them in the woods, you
might say, but I do think that we
can and will have beautiful homes
here if we will only try. The great
water which we must utilize.
Yes. I can truthfully say that I
like this country and am going to
improve some of my land here. I
never expect to try to improve all
of it for 1 cannot. I think it is
very healthy here and will be more
so when we get good wells and quit
branch water. We expect, by the
close of this week, to have our first
well finished by our new machine
which is being operated by our Mr.
Olds for the colony. We can sell
40,000 acres of land on the south
end for $2 per acre in gold, that is,
one of the colony can. He thinks
he will close the deal which would
give us our land paid out, all our
money back and $25,000 in gold in
the treasury besides and leave all
the land we could ever expect to
use, and more. What would you
all think of such a deal as that?
We will have in a month or two on
our new townsite a $10,000 stock
of goods owned by Messrs. McCor-
kle & Palmer. Mr. McCorkle is a
new member of our colony and who
is a very enterprising business man.
He is also watching the chance for
a gin and oil mill as soon as the
occasion demands it. We are also
expecting to make the Chamal
City an educational centre by erect-
ing and establishing a first-class
school which, to my opinion, is the
greatest enterprise that is on foot
today among our people. The gov-
ernor of the state says he will as-
sist in making such enterprises a
success. I cannot, looking at the
future as it presents itself, help but
feel that we are in a great country
with possibilities unexcelled. While
all is in the rough state yet the
change is sure to come and with
the change comes success to our
colony, as these same lands in other
countries are very valuable, an^
why not in Mexico? I only trust
our people can see the future of
this coming country and not sacri-
fice their interests here for even
three times what they gave for
their lands. enteen miles southwest of Vernon
