After visitinu tho C'ddo cuun
ty farm product exhihit niven
under tho au?pioes of the Ann-
darko Commercial olub at Ai u-
darko Okla from Oct 14 to 24
1008 1 wish first to explain tho
bad foaturoB. Ono ia that tho
farmor novor planned but things
juBt oamo about. This oxhibit
should bo arranged for from ono
yoar to tho next and extra efforta
mado to grow produota superior
to tho year bofore.
A bottor display should bo ar-
ranged. Tho almost indoscrib-
ablo mass of products that was
on oxhibit all of whioh aro bound
to bo of tho very boat quality
proves that should offioiont and
painataking offorta and oaroful
attention bo givon to this rioh
and produotivo land it will exool
any flistor stato in tho Union.
Thoeo produota woro not culti-
vated premeditating a prizo but
Caddo oounty io blossod with oo
rioh a soil that the oxhibit was
surprising. 1 saw oorn 13 inches
long aa solid as oorn evor gota;
ootton that yields from ono-half
to ono bale to an aoro and never
brings less than S10 per bale and
always a homo market. Broom
corn no locality in tho world
boats Caddo county in ito natur-
al growth; wo havo on rooord
whero ono man cleared 8000
from 100 acres. Oats yiold from
40 to 50 bushols por aoro ryo
compares with whoat kaffir corn
is a staplo orop for food.
Alfalfa grows rank and is a
valuablo orop ofton outting from
4 to 5 outtings in a soason. Two
orops of potatooB and ono of tur-
nips oan bo raisod on tho oamo
land in a Boason potatoos aweet
and Irish of enormous sizo and
turnips some at least a foot in
diamotor. All kinds of garden
truok waa on display showing
tho rosult of rioh noil. Water
molons tobacoo apples beots

snips goards oantelopo toma-
toes peanuts mil" maize millot
soft and hard whoat bloody
butohor and yollow oorn kaffir
and pop oorn all of whioh I
found to bo of tho vory boat
quality. The oaao of boea show-
ed a fino grade of honoy.
Now all of tho abovo named
articles aro raised with suooosa
in Caddo oounty on any farm by
a fow hours' work and in Maroh
and April wo begin markoting.
In conclusion I in bohalf of
my brother larmora ot uauuo
oounty extend an invitation to
tho pooplo of othor sootions to
pooplo of othor sootions
oomo and abirlo with us ns our
soil and natural resources and
advantages oannot be oxoollod by
any sootion and oqualled by a
very small portion of tho country
thua sotting forth tho advantage
of gonoral farming in Caddo
oounty. Plant seod any kind

May tho good work roll along ia
tho wish of your humble servant.
