here but 6 years. He considers this
a good average cotton country and
the crop pays well. Climate ideal.
Wm. Ticker, Payson route 2 is a
cotton planter of experience and
makes it pay.
D. L. Williams, Payson route 2 is
a well to do farmer with good build-

Has been here since Feb. 1S92. Likes
it well or would not stay with it.
Soil erosion is worse on the land

farmer citizens. He has been a ber-
muda grass friend from (pioneer
days. He says that an ideal place
for bernnida is upon the little val-
leys where the good soil has been
covered by the worn soil washed
from the hillsides. He says ber-
nmda roots will go through the worn
soil until it reaches and rests upon
the better soil below. He says that
after the Bermuda has been growing

Special Quarantine Proclamation
issued by the State Board of Agri-
culture, December 37, 1910.
To the managers, agents and em-
ployees of railroad companies in the
state of Oklahoma, and all transpor-
tations companies entering Okla-
homa, stock men and others:
In order to protect the following
territory from Infested cattle, the
following quarantine lines are hereby-
established:
Lincoln County . .
(a) Beginning at the intersection
of the township line between town-
ship thirteen (13) and fourteen (14)
north with the east line of Lincoln
county; thence west on said town-
ship line to Us intersection with the
eastern Oklahoma branch of the A.
T. OS. F. railroad; thence south-
westerly following the eastern Okla-
homa branch of the said A. T. &S. F.
railroad to Us intersection with the
south line of Lincoln county; thence
cast on the south line of Lincoln co-
unty to the southeast corner of1 Lin-
coln county. During the continu-
ance of this line, no cattle will be
permitted to move from the area in-
cluded therein to any territory north,
west or south, except in accordance
with rules 2 and 3 of the proclama-
tion of the Oklahoma Stale Board of
Agriculture, under date of April 2G

Likes it as well as Missouri. He
raises 1-2 hale per acre, hut no
grass for stock. Don't see but land
will raise cotton for many years
without losing in fertility. Cotton
takes but little from the land, all
but the fruit is left upon the soil.
.1. J. Ivoonce on route 5 Chandler
came from Missouri 4 years ago.
The country and its principal cash
crop—cotton is all right. One can
make lots of money raising cotton
but can's keep it. Cotton raisers are
a happy go easy set of people any-
way.

He is a business man owning, living

specialty of fine horses and every
one of them must be black. There
is something about the personality
of the man that makes black horses
look fat and valuable when he holds

His hogs must be red and only
good ones. His cows seem to be of
the milkers strain.
He keeps a man by the year, and
ami is delighted with the country.
Cotton is ..is great cash crop, but
stock pays him better and In* will
soon cut out cotton. He has the
bernnida fever as the only grass that
will hold here and at the same time
hold the soil.
A good chicken country too.
Upon route 2 Sparks we find Mr.
Will Graham. He came from Texas
8 years ago. He considers this a
good country for cotton.
S. S. Durst, Sparks 2 will raise
cotton, corn and hogs, but his de-

All livestock inspectors for the

change in the cattle* market prices
at western markets, although condi-
tions here remain about the same as
a week ago. In ihe north, at river
points in general, cattle prices show-
ed a very weak undertone last week,
Chicago being from fifteen to twenty-!
five lower on all kinds.
In Oklahoma City the short supply*
and growing call from the packers
has, to a certain extent, made this;
market immune to the currents of
northern points, where receipts last
week showed tug increases. west
prices here the past week were:
Steers, $5.90; heifers, $5.35; cows
$4.75; hulls, $4.85, and calves $7.75.
Bullocks weighing from 1,000 to 1,-
loo lbs. hare brought without trou-
ble five to five and a half cents. Any-
thing with a kill will find a good de-
mand. on the stun tne siaugnter
house interests have maintained a
more than steady market. Bulls have
been very scarce, as have calves for
which steady to strong prices are be-
ing paid.
i 'alves
There was a light supply of calves
the past week, around 300 head mak-
ing up the total receipts. Extreme
top price was $7.75 and anything
better would have brought $8.00.
Veals are in demand.
Ilogs
Around 10,00 hogs have been sold
here since Tuesday last, and the mar-
ket has shown decided weakness, al-
though the comparative figures do
not indicate a heavy loss. A weak
a go- top loads brought $8.10, hulk
$7.So @ 7.95. Today, with 1,600
head here, about the same prices
were raid for the bulk. Receipts
have been fairly liberal and the pack-
ers ran handle much l:irg« r runs. Qu-

\V. It. Goit, First Vice President of
the Oklahoma Good Roads associa-
tion is an advocate of Sand Clay
Roads. The state publicity bureau
requested Mr. Goit to describe the
method of building Sand Clay Roads,
in answer to which he prepared the
following, which is gi
general information o!
“The* following im
ployed by the writer,
successfully used h\ i

the public:

b.
tiously as the location of the road
and the fall of the ground will per-
mit, maintaining at all times a dry
footing for the wearing surface.
“In the construction of a sand clay
road, the first requirement is ito
throw up a grade of sand of sufficient
height to bring roadway above the
adjacent lands, so as to permit of
thorough drainage of the sub-grade,
and the protection of the sub-grade
from seepage, by proper drainage
of all storm waters from the upper
into the lower ditch by adequate
culvert constructed with due regard
to utilization of all available fall
and free discharge of' the storm
water through these culverts from
the upper to the lower ditch, which
should be constructed with due re-
gard for obtaining fall from the up-
per ditch, which should be at least
several inches if not more, higher or
shallower than the lower ditch.
“After shaping up the sand to the
proper contour for successful drain-
age of the roadbed into the respec-
tive ditches, the method at present
employed by the Department of
Roads is as follows: Plastic or te-
nacious clay or gumbo is distributed
over the entire surface of the road-
way and ditches to ail approximate
depth of five or six inches, after
which disc harrow’s are brought into
service, and the clay or gumbo thor-
oughly mixed and harrowed with the
sand to a depth of seven or eight
inches, which harrowing should he
continued until the sand and clay is
thoroughly mixed or incorporated
to above depth, after which the sur-
face should lie repeatedly rolled un-
til compact and dense enough to car-
ry an ordinary load, ('are should be
exercised that this mixture shall be
evenly distributed over the entire
grade and ditches so that the water
shall r-t have access to the sand sub-
grade to prevent its being undermin-
ed or washed away, thus removing
the support for the sand clay sur-
face.
of the sand and the
y will determine the
r proportion requir-
ing surface, which
ed of1 as large a pro-
! portion of sand, and as small a pro-
| portion of clay as will bind the ma-
I terials together and prevent raveling
of the wearing surfa< e under the ac-
t tion of tin* wheels, which proportion
l nr proportions can be readily ob-
tained by and road builder who oxcr-
* i Isos any care, and will make up an
! oxpei imental mixture of the sand anil
| < lay for test or observation. The
1 following rule will determine wheth-
| <*r tlx* proportion of sand and clay is
at equilibrium: If the road ravels
out or goes full of holes by breaking
down of the wearing surface, it is
absolute proof that the mixture is
impoverished and requires the addi-
tion of more day or bonding materi-
al—if the roadway should develop a.
slippery, unstable footing for traffic
i in wet weather, tin* builder can rea-
dily observe that the mixture is out
of proportion and too fat, and re-
quires the application of more sand
to restore the equilibrium and pro-
duce the desired result.
“A little observation by the buil-
der, of the effect of traffic and wet
weather on the roadway after con-
struction, will enable him to deter-
mine tin* ex:n-t proportion ef either
