Finish the Dam
This City Council haB passed nn ordinance authorizing an olection to vote bonds for funds with which to complete the work on the Dam. The
Dam has been built by Mr. Smith and the work will be completed by him. The people recognize the value of the work accomplished since
Mr. Sjnith took charge and there will be no question as lo the voting of the bonds for the completion of the work. The controversy between
the city and the O'Neal Engineering Co. regarding the work prior to the time Mr. Smith took charge is a question that remains to be settled and has nothing to do with the completion
of the Dam.

It seems that Ford had secured
Clydo Thompson his wholesale meat
man a St Louis grocery house the
Anadarko State Bank and then tho
Enid Milling company ani later tho
Turner produco house at Chickasha
ana then Ford was taken sick and tho
physicians advised htm to go to Mex-
ico. He turned his business over to W
D Mills who found that there was
$1433 yot to bo charged to tho gov.
ernment and when Mr Mills paid out
all except a part of the Bank the
Enid Mill and tho Turner Troduco
umpany biisircs? had stopped and the
Indians were trading at other stores
and the Ford business had to bo clos-
ed out and tho debts paid as far as
tho money could go which was done.
Tho Enid Milling company then
brcight charges against Mr Ford and
placed him in jail. Mr Ford claims
that had ho kept his health tho entire
amount could have been placed to the
Milling Company's credit and tho
company know that the amount ws
not on tho books at tho timo tho
order was givon and that he did not
try to buy on what was alteady on
the books as that was then security
for other debts. Just what further
steps have been taken in tho case is
not known.

Owing to unfavorable conditions
during tho early part of the growing
season a largo part of tha fiold had a
very poor stand the whole plat aver
aging about 80 or 85 per ont. Thn
rows nr five feet apart and tho plants
are about an average of eighteen to
twenty inches in the drills The
olnnts will average a Httlo above
I waist high but have sproad out until
I they meet in the row but not be
tween mo rows oome weevils nave
been present during the season but
owing to extreme heat have not caus-
ed much damage. Tho land upon
which this crop is growng was used
about eight years ago aa a feedngpen
for cattle but haa not bern given any
fertillxntli-n sinco that time in fact
a largo amount of tho top soil has
been cartod away by market garden-
ers. Lnit vcur u crop of ono and one
naif bales 'was produced o that while
the land is still fairly rich doubtless
richer than thac around It there has
been no artiflcal fertilizaton. The
cotten growing there is of a splendid
type being of an early fruiting long
limbed variety tho seed having been
carofully selected. Not more than
six inches of rainfall havo occurred
sinco the land wbb first broken. This
history shows that the enormous yields
amounting to perhaps flvo or six timet
that of the average of that in the
neighborhood ia principally due to the
method of breaking and cutilvation
which the Department of Agrcultnre
has been suggeiting to tho cotter
farmers for a number of years and
which is tho basiB of tho farm dem-
onstration work in this section.
