What llolMVeevils Did
To illustrate the enormous damage
accompanied by the boll weevil in
typical weevil-infected counties the
Oklahoma state board of ngriculturo
lias released production figures for
aeven counties fur the years 1920 and
1921. These figures show that in
the small district alone the weevil
was resjionsihle for a loss of 105819
liales of cotton in 1921 and a money
lose of $8102000.
llere is the list of counties:
1921. 1920. Loss

Atoka 1.039 14191 13.152
I'nntotac 3023 39231 35.011
In 1920 the value of the cotton crop
in this gioiip of counties was appiox-
imately ?997000l). In 1921 the vnluc
of the crop in the same counties was
inly 51 S1 1.000. And this los is typi-
cal of all sections striiken by the
lloll weevil

MiM Keep Up Weevil Fight I
An imesligatinn of the cotton on
the limine shows it to be in good
.shape at this time especially wbw
; g 1 fight has been made by inten-
sive cultivation and the ti-.i of I
ntiheis. diags and other method-.
The condition in the bottom mdi-i
vates that the new crop or brood of.
weevil K just hatthing out of the
jHiniturcd squaies and those in a jio-i
.sitiim to know are greatly woinedl
for fear that the weevil will hatch i
out in as great numbers on the prai-
Tiee in a few ilay.s. I
There is just one thing to do andi
that is for eveiybody to get in the
vollar and fight the weevil just as
hard as they possibly can for the
next ten days to two weeks.
Drags catchers poison shallow
plowing hand picking everything
should be used. The work or fight
should not be stopped but should be
increased.
Quit Bii)ing Squares
The Chamber of Commerce discon-
tinued the purchase of punctured cot-
Ion squares Wednesday of this week
for the reason that the funds raised
for the purpose were all expended
anil that it is well niirht imnnssihlni
to raise more money at this time bv
jtiWnption list. During the cam-
paign more than seven million squares
were brought in and sold some of
them for tin cents a hundred and the
last week or so twenty-five cents a
thousand.

939895 pounds of butterfat in the
foini of sour cream: 10.031200 pounds
of swift milk was bought for making
ice-cream; and 02201.983 pound- of
milg passed through pasteurizing
plants. The 9529722 pounds ot nut-
ter made was valued at $3210105
the averaire in ice being 34 cents a
pound. A total of 894.070 gallons of
ice (.-renin was made bringing an
aerage price of $1.07 a gallon or a
total of almost $1000000. Evidence
of this growth and development of the
dairy industry in Oklahoma follows
the eradication of the cattle tick.
Commercial dairyinir is scarcely vis
ible in counties or areas where ticks
still lemnin.
D.iir) Business Crowing
The dairy business is growing rap
idly in Hughes county according to
T. A. Vanderpool. county agent. A
check-up of the business of a local
cream station. Vanderpool says shows
that it made 7.000 pounds of butter in
.luno this year as compared with
1.300 pounds for the same period in
1921 and that an average of 540 gal-
lons per day of whole milk was ship-
pi (1 in comparison with 140 gallons
a day for the same month a year
ago. Two car loads of Jersey cows
have just been shipped Into the coun-
ty through tho financial aid of G.
L. Benson a local banker.
Community Canning Popular
With a Burpee sealer and an open
kettle fanner. S. E. Barnett a far-
mer living near Valliant. has estab-
lished a community cannery which is
being patronized by neighbors for
miles around according to brace
Clmvdis home demonstration agent.
On the lay Miss Clowdis visited Bar-
net t's place a dozen neighbor women
and almost as many men were pres-
ent. Three wagon loads of tomatoes
had been brought in for canning.
Irrigation Helps Berries
.Mis. I.. K. Montgomery a farm
woman living near .Tones Oklahoma
(utility this year sold 150 gallons of
lil.-ukheiiies fiom a patch 50x100 feet
in si-e. She received 50 cents a gal-
lon for the berries. The patch was
inigated.

One i if the best planned and clever-
est burglaries eer committed in Du-
rant was pulled Sunday nigh' with
Perkins Bros -tore as the victim
when a thief or thieves got off with
about $500 worth of merchandise
seleiting nmple quantities and fine
qualities of about two dozen differ-
ent articles carried in the store. It
is believed thnt the identity of the
thief is known but no arrests have
been mnde as yet. Efforts now aie
centered on finding the goods and
lnrntlncr the culprit.
On top of the store in the center Is
a pyramidal shaped skylight in which
is iieavy "unbreakable" glass win-
dows with wire woven in it. Six feet
below the edge of the skylight is a
square concrete beam and from this
it is nbout fifteen feet to the main
floor below. The thief knocked out a
chunk of the skylight without get-
ting any glass on the floor below.
He then lowered himself to the con-
crete beam to which he affixed a
piece of rope on which he slid to the
floor. He then helped himself to a
Ford tiuck load of merchandise apd
left. He took exit from a rear window
on the balcony floor through a window
to which it was nbout eight or nine
feet to the ground. It is believed
that he had a small truck or hack at
that window and into it threw his lot
following with himself. A woman
sleeping in the hotel ncross the alley
told officers she thought she heard
'something being dropned i
window but believinW "ut ol

Democracy Triumphs With Wilson
Definite information carefully gathered proves conclusively that in country
village and city in hundreds of sections of Oklahoma whole communities are "flopping-
to Wilson for Governor. Democrats are convinced that Wilson is the one man
who can lead the united Democracy to victory in November against the thoroughly
organized Republicans.
Wilson has honored the State with a clean record. He has honored the Democra-
tic Party by making a clean campaign. Notwithstanding there has been a systematic
PatiSC01'es of conspracies to defame his character from which attacks he has
come out clean unscratchea and unafraid. If you're on the fence get right. Vote for
enomi?gmemet f0r UnSdf ish ' atriotic Democracy and efficient
We will be triumphantly victorious with Wilson and will have four
years or Government in Oklahoma of by and for the people.
