IMPROVE QUALITY OF BUTTER
United efforts for the improve-
ment of the quality of American
butter by producers, manufacturers
and dairy experts are necessary at
the present time in view of the
foreign competition which the in-
dustry is facing. This is the belief
of E.’ R. Walden, manager of Swift
& Co., at Elk City. Not only should
the farmer and manufacturer co-
operate to improve the product, ac-
cording to Mr. Walden but aid should
be obtained from the Dairy Depart-
ment of the State University and
Dairy Extention Department, as well
as from the farm advisers of the
various counties.
The produce plant manager point-
ed out that on February 26th, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, through its bureau of mar-
kets, quoted the Chicago market on
butter as follows:
93 score butter_________51 Me
86 score butter_________ 34c
“This the difference in price is due
to the actual difference in quality”
said Mr. Walden. “The consuming
trade of the United States is now
being supplied, not only with the
butter made in the United States, but
with his daughter Gladys, who was
on the train, and who was one of
the debaters there that evening. She
had won at Clinton and Strong City
before this, once on the negative and
once on the affirmative.
A. R. Moore of Weatherford, was
here Friday helping his brother H.
T. Moore in moving his wife from
the Rock Island depot to the W. F.

‘There was considerable prejudice
against Danish butter when it first
made its appearance on our market in
large volume last year but the
superior quality of this product has
won for it an enviable position in
the butter markets of this country.
This is not due so much to the better
methods of manufacturering, but
rather to the fact tht greater atten-
tion is given the care of the milk and
cream on he farm. It is surprising
to know that butter can be manu-
factured in Denmark and delivered
in New York three or four weeks
later, and be of uniformly better
quality than the bulk of the butter
manufactured in the United States.
“The higher markets which have
recently prevailed in the United
States will attract more Danish but-
ter. The S S Hellingolav reported
sailing from Denmark February 25,
with 11,170 packages, v/as expected
to arrive in New York about March
7th. It is expected this butter will
find a ready sale at a satisfactory
price.
“Co-ooerative efforts to improve
the quality of our American butter
should be taken up at once.”
Miss Page! did not get off on her
trip to Chicago until last Friday. She
was accompanied to the depot by
friends, some of them handing her
flowers and boxes of sweets, etc.
E. T. Rylant was here Friday,
coming from Altus, but said he was
eoing to Shawnee to make his home.
His wife will meet him there. She
was recently called to Tennessee be-
cause of the death of her eight year
old brother. Roscoe Stepp, the little
invalid. He was a son of Bob Stepp
formerly of Elk City.

JOHN DtER
There Is Nothing Complicated
^ About this Spreader
One big reason why the John Deere Spreader gives highly sat-
isfactory service at low cost for repairs is its simplicity. It has no
chains, no clutches, few adjustments, and only about half the parts necessary
on the ordinary spreader. It is a spreader that gives extra years of service.
- JOHNfeDEERE SPREADER
The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle
’The beater-on-the-axle construction has
made it possible to produce so simple and
so durable a manure spreader. This fea
ture is patented—no other spreader can
use it. Its driving gears are entirely en-
closed—they operate in oil within a dust-
proof case—they will wear for years.
In looking at the John Deere Spreader,
be sure to note that all of the main work-
ing parts are mounted on the rear axle
where they can’t get out of line to cause
binding, heavy draft and breakage.
The John Deere is a low-down, easy-
loading spreader. It’s only thirty-six inches
to the top of the box. You can see where
every forkful goes. High lifting of manure,
the hardest part of loading, is done away
with.
This machine spreads all kinds of ma-
nure evenly; bunching is prevented by
th<* revolving rake—another patented fea-
ture.
We can also furnish 9 straw-spreading
attachment for the John Deere Spreader
which makes it a perfect two-in-one ma-
chine.
There is no machine we sell that we ean recommend more highly
than the John Deere Spreader. Come in and let us show it to you.

PLEASANT VALLEY
SCHOOL CLOSES
Mrs. Grace Creason of Elk City,
closed a six months term of school
at Pleasant Valley Friday, March
11, 1921.
The pupils were dismissed from
their lessons Thursday evening and
told to return to the school room
Friday morning to receive their re-
port cards ana also to rehearse the
program to be rendered at 8:00 p. m.
Upon the arrival of the pupils
Friday morning, Mrs. Creason was
busily engaged in decorating the
school room and did not notice that
only a few of the pupils ’ brought
their luncheon.
At 9:30 a. m., they were assembled
in the school room and after the re-
port cards were given out, the re-
hearsal of the program began and
at 11:30 the program having been
complete the pupils were dismissed
for iuneh and to save any embarrass-
ment on their part, three cars filled
with patrons and “some good things
to eat” drove up in front of the
school house, then they just kept
coming, much to the surprise of the
teacher, until most of the patrons
were present. The cave doors were
brought into the school room and
placed across the seats and soon a
dinner v/as spread “fit for a king.”
While the ladies were spreading
the dinner, Mrs. Creason arranged
her forty-six pupils in classes and
■everal pictures were taken and then
all the visitors were arranged for a
“family group picture”, but we are
sure the picture will not be good for
“Frank Courtney’s face would break
any camera.”
All were ushered into the room
and around the table and after the
blessing was pronounced by O. H.
Creason, the great feast began;
sandwiches, salads, fried chicken,
pickles, fruit, cakes, pies and every-
thing else good to eat, and after the
dinner was over there v/as enough
food left to feed three or four more
schools.
After dinner rnuslc was furnished
by an Edison phonograph, owned by
O. H. Creason. Some of the visitors
entertained the pupils by placing a
cigarette in the mouth of a horny
toad, and one of the men said, “If
it makes me look like that toad I
shall never put another cigarette in
mouth.” The bays entertained the
crowd with a base ball game and
then all went home to get ready for
the entertainment.
At 8:00 p. m., the “Closing Day
Entertainment” began. Nice printed
programs were used. At 10:00 p. m.,
Mrs. Creason extended to patrons
and friends her thanks and gratifica-
tion for co-operation received dur-
ing the term and also for the “Big
Dinner” that day. Then after
bidding one and all a good-by, all
were dismissed
