Organize a Potato
Association
Growers
Experiments with potato grow*
ing made here the last two years
have been very satisfactory and
there will be lota of potatoes
planted here thla year aa the
moisture now in the ground from
the anowa portend a good season.
But the individual grower will
find it almost impossible to dis-
pose of his crop at a profit. This
has been the experience of pota-
to growers in other parts of Ok*
lahoma and to cure that, potato
growers have, in various parts of
Oklahoma, organized themselvef.
into “Potato Growers Associa-
tions” for the purpose of having
better shipping facilities. Last
year the neighborhoods in which
the potato growers were organized
were visited by buyers from St.
Louis and Chicago and the pro-
duces realized good prices. While
a buyer can’t afford to go about
and buy a few bushels here and
a few bushels there until he can
get a car load he can afford and
does go where he can secure them
in car load lots from one man.

ing a Potato Growers Association

These are diversions that at*
tract many tourists to this sec-
tion, as well aa the residents who
take a day off for recreation, but
the latter are too busy improving
If I the opportunities that so inviting-
ly stretch before them to spend
much time in this lield of sport
These opportunities are vaat and
varied- Up in the mountains
there are deposits of gold, silver,
lead and other ores to be founc
and exploited. It is a well known
fact that the Spaniards mined
gold and silver in the Wichita
Mountains more than two centur
on
SNYDER, OKLAHOMA.
From Frisco System Magazine:
For an infant municipality, lo-
cated on the untenanted ag0 The crude implements
save by a scattered tribe of thrift-1 wUh which workJd have
less Indians, the town of Snyder been unearthed in a number 0f
has made wonderful strides to
catch up with its older sisters of
such marvelous growth through-
out Oklahoma. It is in the “new
country” known as the Kiowa
and Comanche Purchase, and
judged by the progress it has
made during the two years of its
existence its future is full of prom
ise. It has been a busy place
since the day the first lots were
, ,, sold, aj id each succeeding day
The associations are representedj has added to it9 th in °
by a centra head to where he,,^ and enteppriae8> The men
can go and buy acar load, though lvh ickodthe,ocation arfl en.
he car load may be. made up.^ to opedJt fop tJje acume n o£
from the products of fifty differ -1 adffiirable 8election. That their
ent farms each grower thus real- {judgment is bedng fulfilled, those
who have seen the town grow can
izing a better price than if he had
to sell his potatoes singly.
The Industrial department of
the Frisco system has taken up
this matter and potato growers on
all their lines are being encour-
aged to organize. Monday an
association was organized at Cor-
dell by Fulton 8. White, an agent
of the Frisco Industrial depart-
ment and while he was here Tues
day he expressed surprise that
the growers of this vicinity have
not taken steps to organize. It
costs nothing to get his help and
assistance in organizing and if
the growers in this vicinity will
call a meeting at Snyder any time
after the middle of March and
give Mr. White a little notice he
will meet with them and advise
them along these lines. Or if the
growers will confer with thisoffioe
the editor will correspond with
Mr. White and secure hi* pres-
ence at such time as will he con-
venient to the growers
Farmers talk thl* matter over
and -tart a paper, the signing of
which binds the grower to noth-
ing except meeting at such time
a- i agreed up ' to con-
places, and there are now several
companies sinking shafts in the
mountains with fair returns of
the precious ores for their labor.
A few miles to the northwest of
Snyder is an immense hill of shale
which can be turned into firo
brick, and a little further on is as
fine building rock in inexhaust-
ible quantity as could be desired.
This is being utilized as is evi-
denced by a number of substan-
tial business buildings in the town.
For farming purposes the coun-
try tributary to Snyder is unex-
celled by any section in Oklaho-
ma. The broad valleys of Otter
Creek and the north fork of Red
River are as fertile and productive
as are to be found anywhere. The
crops produced there are proof of
this, and it should be borne in
mind they have only been in cul-
tivation two years. With the
land scarcely broken, the yield
of corn and cotton raised in these
valleys in 1904 brought quite
52,000,000, and a very small per
cent, of the land has yet been
been touched by the plowman.
The net profits to the farmer on
bis last crop would have paid for
his land the year before Nearly
every acre of this great valley is
tillable. Its proven crops of
wheat, oats, barle.v, cotton, corn,
alfalfa and every variety of veg-
etables and fruits show a store-
house of profit it holds for the
farmer. The entire valley is sub-
irrigated, the best of water being
obtained at a depth of from eight
to fifteen feet. As a wheat pro-
ducing country it will not only
i wok with, but outclass the north
tiate his eagerness in quest of all \ rest, and as for cotton it canm-i
kinds of game. Leaving the b e surpassed in the Mississippi
streams, the huntsrjan may climb Valley.
the mountain sides and find big- As »ta,ed above, these lands
readily testify.
Snyder is the junction of the
O. C'. 4 W., and the B. E. & 8.
Railroads, both divisions of the
Frisco System. The Union. De-
pot is for the present sufficient,
but in time will have to be en-
larged to accommodate the travel
and traffic that is rapidly on the
increase. Nearby is a commod-
ius round house and a number of
coal chutes.
Though situated on the plains,
the scenio view from the town is
relieved by the lofty Wichita
Mountains, which seem to inclose
it in a semi-circle and while thti
mountains to the vision are with-
in an hours walk, they are realty
miles away. It is the clearness
of the air that produces this vis-
ionary effect. Then, too, in easy
distance is Otter Creek and the
north fork of the Rod River
streams in which there is fine
sport for the fisherman and along
whose banks the hunter may sa
two .‘o four crop* can be grown a
year.
Thi t® are about 2.000 inhabit-
ants in Snyder and they aredaiiy
being added to. In no town in
Oklahoma—new towns—are the
hastily constructed frame build-
ings, erected for temporary shel-
ter, more rapidly disappearing
than there. In t heir stead are
being erected handsome resi-
dencee and busi ness blocks of
brick and native atone. The de-
mand for residences and business
houses is far in ivdvance of the
supply.
The town is splendidly laid off
The streets are broad and at night
well lighted. The water supply
is a bundant and healthful. There
are ^ood schools and handsome
churches of several denomina-
tions. There is a grist mill, cotton
compress «.id cotton gins and lum
ber yards, a id mercantile houses
in all commodities, while the rail
road facilities, in any direction
one wishes to travel, cannot be
excelled.
Hunting has been the order of
the day vinee the heavy snow of
Friday night and Baturdav.

Conun Doyle's detective stories, with the
marvelous Sherlock Holmes as their hero,
have achieved the greatest success of recent
years. Appreciating this fact the publisher of
Collier's Weekly. New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a ttnal series of the *reat de-
tective's adventures. Repeated refusals were
followed by increased inducements, and anally
Mr. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories tor
#15.000. or about 60 cents a word. The entire
correspondence was by cable. The amount
paid by Collier's is the largest ever paid for
such work and does not Include thu right to
publish the stories in book form. By special
arrangement with Collier's, these famous sto:«
ses are belntf printed in The Kansas City Star,
one story each week. beiriuniuK in the dai y
