Tho Frisco people are well ropro-
sontcd iu this county this yoar In
demonstrating: on various kinds of
farm cropB and N. T. HcAHster tho
agent in charge has secured four
demonstrators noar tho company's
linoa in tho county.
J. S. Brown who farms tho
Smith placo noar the ovorhoad
bridge on the Calora road is demon-
strating corn and cowpens In alter-
nate rows and on peanuts. He has
fifty acres of Spanish poanuts and
'will hog thorn out whon they are
ripe. By this is meant turning tho
hogs Into tho patch to shift for
thomsolves. Poanuts used in this
way have proven a money makor j
and some people contond that they
will produce more in pork than in
monoy if harvested and sold. Tho
hogs oat tho vines and nuts as well.
Tho Idea of growing corn and cow-
yjnpyyTT
peas in altornato rows is that tho
cow peas will glvo back to tho land
those elements that the corn takes
from it. Mr. Brown is using Reeda
Yellow dent corn In tho dpmonstra-
tton. The Duraut Nursery Company is

ment given with tho call for the
mooting ia as follows:
"Since I havo been in your county
working in tho capacity of county
fnrm agent I have put in my tlmo
working along all lines pertaining to
agriculture. I first advocated diver-
sification on tho farm for livestock
and tho production of meat gardes
stuff poultry and everything neces-
sary for as much of the living as pos-
sible i
In this lino of work 1 can see a
wonderful 'change since I came horo
arid took up tho work. I havo al-
located more and bettor livestock
ob 1 can see in tho future develop-
ment of Bryan county It will be
come ono of the best livestock coun-
ties in Oklahoma.
"I havo noticod In traveling over
this county many acres of land be-
ing rulnod by improper methods of
handling; too much taken niv-iv and
nothing returned to tho soil. Thoso
difficulties can only be remedied by
handling more livestock. I have
worked along this lino until now tho
time has arrived to tako up tho live-
stock Industry more extensively. A
largo number of farmers and busi-
ness men in this county are interest-
ed in bettor breeding cattle horsoa
mules hogs and sheop.
Theroforo I am calling a moetlng
to bo hold at the court house on
Tuesday Juno G for the purpose of
organizing tho Bryan County Live-
stock Breeders association. Thfs or-
ganization is not only to develop the
livestock Industry but 1b intended to
tako up tho development Of all lines
of farming and community building.
"Tick eradication Is one Important
torn for this organization. It will be
necessary to eradicate tho tick pro-
ceeding the bringing In of pure bred
cattle from outside sources.
"Wo are In need of more good
roads and there is nothing moro
dependable than plonty of good Dur-
ham cattle good hogs and dairy
cows to make money to build roads.
"When wo depend upon our State
and Nation to appropriate money to
build good roads and imporvo our
communities wo grow poorer tho
moro appropriated tho higher tho
tax and tho less effort we make to
do for ourselves so I am asking
every man in Bryan county to tako
one day off and attend this meeting.
It matters not whether you own
livestock; you expect to do so somo
day and when you do you surely
want good ones.
"Good speakers will be In attend-
ance and everybody is welcome.

John Impson living on Nmt.i ave-
nue between Elm and Live Oak. was
the victim of a most peculiar acci-
dent which almost caused ner to
lofie her arm or to bl6ed to deat.n.
Mrs. Impson started to lower a
heavy window In one of the rooms
and found that it was hard to lower.
She started pulling on the window
hard and suddenly the window was
jerked loose and started downward.
There was a small hole In the win-
dow and as it started downward Mrs.
Impson In some manner ran her
arm in the hole and her wrst was
almost severed being cut over half
way through. Two of the arteries
were severed and she almopt olod
to itath before physicians co'ild ar-
rive. Sho is corflned to her bed but
Is getting along nicely at this time.

quest an appropriation of only $15-
000 but thoy voluntarily raised tho

Tho bills set forth that whereas
the Oklahoma State Jefferson Hlgn-
way association is about to expond

ing to several people who havo In-
vestigated it recently. Tho building
Is a one story frame shack with

leans out considerably and Is at
least six inches out of plumb and Is
likely to fall at any tlmo. Tho south
wall is badly twisted and warped
and is expected to collapse at any
time. The rear wall is decidedly un-
safo and one may shake it with his
band. Fred Lowry and Turner

figuring on moving right away. Tho
mere oxlstence of this dangerous
trap caused adjacent proporty own-
era to pay more in excess insurance
