F. A. MITCHELL TELLS OF HIS VISITS
IN NORTHEASTERN PART OF COUNTY
George Bruce, Agra route 1, came
from Missouri 20 years ago with four
horses and a small stock of1 groceries.
He lias sold out his store and is now
practicinfi diversified farming. He
says it would liay and pay big to keep
farm tools sheltered. Likes the co-
untry real well and thinks bermuda
is splendid to stop a wash.
C. P. Dohin, Agra route 1, came
from Illinois 7 years ago. Says this
is a pretty good country. Thinks
cotton is the best paying crop. Ber-
muda is the best and only thing to
redeem washy lands. He says lots
of men make a spectacle of them-
selves roaring about “book-farming”
but if they would read irp on farm-
ing and use a little common sense in
adopting ideas and plans offered,
they would find it would pay. We
can’t expect to be able to use every-
thing we read because some tilings
would be very1 impractical for our
own use but most men know a good
thing when they see It and what’s
the use or roaring about it and con-
demning an idea just because it did
not originate in your own head.
R. Sayers, Agra route 1. Here is
where we stopped for dinner one
day and a splendid place it is to find
something to eat too.
He came from Missouri 1b years
ago, “tetotally busted” as he express-
ed it. When asked how he liked the
country he said, “Well, i’ve had
plenty of chances to sell out, but I’m
still here.” Tt must be he likes it.
He practices diversification with
main crops, corn and oats. Says
kafiir corn is the surest crop for this
country. Thinks bermuda is all right
and will sot some as soon as possible.
Milks several cows and sells cream.
Buys calves in the fall and sells in
the spring. Buys anything when he
can get it at a snap.
Says stock farming is the only
thing for this country or any other
for that matter. Must grade up
cattle now that we are about to get
above the quarantine. He said that
one time there was a man who tried
to argue with him that it didn’t pay
to keep pure bred stock and to con-
vince him that he was wrong lie took
him to his pasture where he had sev-
eral head of Vat tic; some pure breds,
some grades and some scrubs. These
cattle were all in the same pasture
and had the same chances, but with-
out any trouble at all you could tell
to which class each animal belonged.
IJoes pure bred stock pay? Of
course it does. He also says we
should pay more attention to seed
selection. Something all of us know,
but yet we don’t practice it enough.
Pure bred seed pays just as does pure
bred stock.
He believed in and practices mak-
ing deep preparation for the seed bed
and in shallow and late cultivation.
The following of these methods
spells success as Mr. Sayers has
proven for he now owns 320 acres of
good land and lias enough stock and
tools about him to clear up $1.7,000.
He didn’t want us to say anything
about it that lie had red hair, so we
wont.
John Fennel, Cushing route 1 came
from Iowa 7 years ago. Raised
wheat altogether for first three years
and found he was falling behind so
quit and went to diversifying and
raising stock. Thinks most of oats
and corn, but has to raise some cot-
ton. He knows stock farming is
more profitable than crop farming
for he has made more money out of
I is stock, than from his cotton and
other crops. Saves all manure and
hauls out onto the land. Doesn't
burn anything, plows it all under.
Bermuda grass is fine and lie will set
some out this spring.
Besides being a good farmer he is
a good blacksmith and runs a shop
in connection with his farm. He
fixed our.bqggy for us while we were
there and we can recommend him as
an all round good fellow and we know
he must make his living from his
farm if lie charges everyone as he
did ns for 'shop work.
W. B. Cook, Cushing route 1, came
from Arkansas 20 years ago with
nothing, lived in a dug-out. He now
owns a farm on Dry Creek three and
one-half miles east of Davenport, but
moved up near Cushing to escape the
malaria. He is a stockman-farmer.
Diversifies and raises cattle, horses
and hogs. Now lias about 70 cattle.
SO hogs and 20 horses. They milk
several cows and sell cream. Likes
bermuda grass fine as do their brown
Leghorn chickens.
J. .1. Funnel, Cushing route 1 came
from Missouri 8 years ago. Likes
the country real well. Has had best
success raising oats, cotton good, but
takes lots of work. Diversifies and
raises stock, cattle, horses and mules.
Has the finest 10 months old mule
we ever saw. Says he expects to get
$900 or $1,000 for this mule and his
mate when they are four and five
years old. Some money for a team,
isn’t it?
C. A. Pierce, Cushing route 1 came
from Kansas 0 years ago. T.ikes
country fine. Diversifies and raises
some stock. Has the Durro Jersey
hogs and the R. I. Red chickens.
Says his chickens made about a dol-
lar a day for him last year. Always
Plants from seven to ten acres of
kafiir corn for chickens and in fact
everything. Cotton is all right if
you don’t have too much.
Says he is going to plant his oats
he has always noticed that if man
does his part nature usually comes
along and does hers; at least enough
of it so that we can live.
He is very nicely situated. Has
a nice home with a cement porch, a
line arch cave, evergreens in yard.
Things fixed up as if lie intended to
stay.
F. X, Waller, Cushing route 1.
Likes country fine. Came from Mis-
souri 15 years ago with about $),-
300. Now owns 240 acres and could
clean up $15000. Made it all here
by means of diversified farming and
stock. Don’t go much on cotton.
Makes more money milking, lias 12
cows and selling the cream. Has a
lovely home with splendid improve-
ments.
li. V. Morris, Cushing route 1,
came from Missouri 18 years ago
with limited means. Raises cotton,
oats and wheat. Corn not a sure
crop for upland, but all right for bot-
tom. He rents out ilia place but
stil llives on the farm. Moved to
town and stayed four years but didn’t
like it and came back to the farm.
Says bermuda grass is all right.
Knows the country is as healthy as
any place he ever lived.
Has a nice neat looking farm, with
fine trees, well trimmed, and has ber-
muda set in His yard which gives it
a superior look. ""
a. White with-his son-in-law, J. A.
country well. Cotton main paying
crop. Kafiir and oats fine. Be-
lieves in diversification. Raises
some stock, would raise more if he
had more pasture. Bermuda com-
ing pasture grass.
Ben Dennis, Agm route 1 came
from Missouri six years ago. Raises
all crops, milks few cows; chickens
also help out. Bermuda fine pas-
ture.
I. J. Merchant, Agra route 1 came
from Iowa 5 years ago. Thinks
this is best country on earth. Di-
versifies and raises all kinds of
stock. Bermuda best grass on
earth, heats blue grass. He came
from a blue grass country and says
it will pasture twice as much as blue
grass. It must be worth setting
out, don’t you think? He says it is
the only salvation for run down cot-
ton farms.
N. T. Lowe near Agra came from
Kansas 19 years ago with a team
and a few cattle. Now has about
$20 000 worth of land and personal
property but wouldn't sell out for
that. Likes the country fine and
says a man, to get him away, would
either have to open up his wad
pretty good or else dig a hole in the
ground for him. Could sell out if
he wanted to, but just naturally
likes it here. Nothing pays but di-
versified farming but it certainly
looks as if that pays for all of his
cribs are full and he has enough
all next
SENATOR CORK ANNOUNCES AN-
OTHER CORN CONTEST
Senator Gore has announced that
he will again this year give as a prize
a free trip to the national capital to
the champion corn raiser of the Ok-
lahoma Boys Corn club for which
5.000 boys and girls in Oklahoma
competed last year. Floyd Geyer of
Tishomingo proved to be the cham-
pion last year and was given a trip
to Washington and was also given a
diploma by the agricultural depart-
ment. This year it is expected tHat
12.000 boys and girls in Oklahoma
will enter the corn growing contest
under the personal supervision and
direction of agents of tHe government
agricultural department. The seed
is furnished free by the Oklahoma
agricultural department.

time hut we
just the right time and they kindly
asked us to stay to dinner. We no-
ticed they had just been butchering
that morning and the thoughts of
fresh pork with its usual accompani-
ments were too much for us to reject
so we very speedily accepted the in-
vitation. Such a dinner! It far
surpassed our most sanguine expecta-
tions. There was only one thing the
matter and that wasn't with the din-
ner but with us, we couldn’t eat
enough.
And then after dinner we were de-
lightfully entertained with music.
Mrs. Little and her daughter played
two duets and then the former favor-
ed us with several piano solos which
were certainly enjoyed. We almost
forgot that she served the dinner and
had had nothing to eat since morning,
hut we don’t believe we would have
consented to have Iter stop playing
even if we lead tliouglct of it. Yes,
we admit that denotes a selfish dis-
position, but then—
i. W. Worthington, Agra route one
tame from Kansas 3 years ago with
$suu. Moved onto the place where
Ice now lives and stayed there. No
money in moving around. Stay where
you are.
“Bermuda all right, You bet your
life! Worst trouble with men in
this country is farming c- cron. Di-
versify and rotate. M., . o on

Always rotate. Orchard of no use in
tile world unless it is cultivated.
Same is true of all crops in his life
experience. Keep everything clean
and well cultivated. II pays to raise
stock and especially since wo have
found out i in merits of bermuda
I grass. He expects to set out 12
I acres this spring.
R. A. Weaver, Agra route 1 came
from Kansas _’ years ago with a team,
a cow and a few chickens. Raises
cotton, oats and kafiir corn. Cotton
His main crop. liaises white turkeys
and lias about 125 chickens. Wants
to raise 2 i i next year. Likes ber-
muda real well.
Isaac Coy, Agra route 1, came
from Kansas one year ago and in
suite of the weather conditions
which prevailed during the past
twelve months, he sa\s lie likes the
country fine and lias made money.
More than lie made in Kansas for
three years before coming here. Di-
versifies anti rotates, says there is
no one crop for him.
Bermuda is nil right. The only
thing for worn out soil. It would
lake a ni e little sum to move him.
Says he lias no tliouglit of selling
out.
We have always had trouble, in
fact complete failure in keeping our
potatoes during the winter, i Wonder
is any one else has?) Mr, Coy told
ns he was using hi.- own potatoes
tlin; lie raised Inst year and we ask-
ed him to please tell us his method.
He saiil spread your potatoes out on
Die ground nr floor, floor is better,
and sprinkle* air slaked lime over
them. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
Guess we will try it next year.
Alfred Polk, Agra route 1 eame
Handles Durco Jersey hogs. Lets
his sows have two litters of pigs a
year. Has sold hogs at 5 months
old which averaged 203 pounds.
From three sows he sells ever year
from $500 to $«00 worth of hogs.
Keeps registered male. Milks about
15 cows, which is responsible to a
marked degree for his success with
hogs. Raises several hundred
chickens every year and they help
out wonderfully as does also the
cream cheek.
He showed us a gray mare, 22
years old, which he brought to this
country with him. She is a mother-
grand mother and great grand-moth-
er and this spring she will be a
great-great-grand mother to stock
on his place. Now has twenty-five
horses and mules related to her be-
sides having sold $490 worth of her
colts. The old mare deserves a
pension, don’t you think? She is
getting it now, for Mr. Lowe says
all she does is carry the eggs and
cream to town every week, Mrs.
Lowe going along as chaperone.
He lias twenty head of cattle on
the place now and they are good
ones, grade Shorthorns. Has about
two acres of bermuda and wishes
he Had eighty more. Is putting it
cult t> fast a‘ 1 ’ can. Says it is
the ily grr s tv,r Oklahoma. If
lie ad plr iv of bermuda he
woulc l’t kn v there was any win-
ter fc • stock fa'tens on it during the
wintc r when ii appears to be dead.
j ; Ufa i: not a success on the
up and prairies and he doesn’t be-
lle ic in spending money trying to
m. ii sUritd. The sub-soil of the
uplands wasn't made for tile alfalfa
plant.
He says to get your land into a
iop that will produce without la-
bor. What crop is that? Why
grass! What grass? Bermuda, of
course!
He never alb ws anything to le
burned oil the place, everything goes
under.
He has u smai! orchard uith
plenty of fruit for laniily use.
W'e noticed he had a blacksmith
shop and asked him if it payed. He
said, yes, indeed. It saves time,
money and horse flesh. Three very
essential things on the farm as we
all know.
Everything about the place denot-
ed thrift and industry and we only
wished there were many more farm-
ers as good (in every sense of the
word) as is Mr. Lowe.
D. H. Wakely, Chandler 7, came
from Kansas and filed on his pre-
sent homestead 18 years ago. Since
that he has raised all kinds of crops
and made some money from every
tiling until now he is well to do. He
is a great friend of woven wire fenc-
ing.
J. L. Miller on Chandler 9 is an
old timer and has been here just a
few hours longer than the most of
us. He is not thinking of moving as
Ibis country suits him better than
anything in Kansas.
He raises all kinds of crops and
handles all kinds of stock. Keeps
a dairy of 12 cows, sells cream or
butter and keeping plenty of chick-
ens, he is butting the cold storage
trust. Yes lie raises hogs of course.
Every farm should support its quota
of hogs. Upland is good where not
too rolling. It raises fine cotton,
oats and every thing, unless season
is just right can raise more on up-
land than bottom. Have both and
ought to know.
The trouble is too many raise all
cotton and have too much to buy.
We sure must raise all of our living
upon our farms. Has alTalfa but has
pastured it too much. Believe that
all tame grasses would do well here.

RITCHIE IS ROBBED
Monday Night Burglar Takes Ahold
Seventy-five Dollars Worth
of Merrhandiso
In the broad moonlight, of Monday
night a burglar or burglars entered
the rear of Ritchie's Store and robbed
him of about $75 in merchandise.
They entered through a back win-
dow by breaking out the glass and
climbed over the tank of kerosene.
They went up through the store and
got three suits of clothes but left the
vests to the suits so that Mr. Richie
could tell what kind they got. They
also got a nice watch fob of Mr. Ri-
tchie's and got several shirts and
some sox. They got three pairs of
shoes out of tlie hest show window
leaving the boxes which shows that
they evidently wanted the shoes but
did not want to pay for them or did
not have the money. The total value
of what was stolen amounted to from
$75 to $100. The possibly got
more but that is all that is known
of at present.
Some bloodhounds from near Cus-
hing were brought here to track the
thieves but no clue lias been found
at the time we go to press.
Several cars occupied by the gang
of Mexican workmen at work on the
railroad were searched but nothing
was found that would lead to identiy
of any one.
ABOUT THE RIFLE RANGE
next week even if it doesn’t rain forfrom Indiana seven years ago. Likes a good fruit country too.
The daily papers have had a great
deal to say about the change in the
management of the work on the state
rifle range at Chandler, and, in that
connection, there were rumors af-
fecting Col. Hoffman's connection
with the militia.
One report was to the effect that
Hoffman had been relieved entirely
of his comman. Naturally, the peo-
ple of Lincoln county, where Hoff-
man is so well and favorably known,
have been anxious to learn the truth
about tlie matter.
The only action taken by the state
authorities has been to transfer the
work of supervision of improvements
from Col. Hoffman to the State
Board of Affairs and to temporarily
suspend work. It will not affect the
new building or the other improve-
ments, as these had already been
contracted for. Neither does it af-
fect Col. Hoffman's standing or in
| any manner reflect upon his integrity
or business management. Every
transaction in connection with the
work on the rifle range has been
made in a business-like manner, and
the expenditures have had the ’ap-
proval of Gov. Haskell.
Of course there have been stories
which, if true, would have been un-
favorable to Hoffman, but these re-
ports, when investigated proved
groundless. One was to tin' effect
that Col. Hoffman had drawn double
salary; another was that three cap-
tains and one major had been em-
ployed on the range. Neither story
had any foundation whatevere.
Tliese reports were due partly to
a misunderstanding of tlie military
orders issued from the adjutant gen-
orders issued from the adjutant gen-
eral’s office, and in part, perhaps,
to designing persons who hoped to
advance their own interests by at-
tempting to tear down others.
. Those familiar with Col. Hoff-
man’s work for tlie national guard
realize that lie lias done more to
raise it to its higli standard of effi-
ciency than any other half dozen
men in tlie state; and they know,
too, that this work lias meant a
distinct sacrifice to Hoffman, for, be-
sides tlie effort he lias put forth, he
lias probably expended two dollars
of his own money for every dollar
he lias received from the state or
government. Any effort, therefore,
to put hi in in a bad light will fall
flat, where the truth is known.

MARKET KLIM HIT
(Furnished by the Frank Wither-
spoon Live Stock Commission, Ok-
lahoma City.)
Oklahoma City, Feb. 21.—Light
cattle runs in the west this week has
caused a general strengthening of
prices, and conditions are about the
reverse of those last Monday. Lo
caily, the market is called fully
steady and as good as two weeks
ago. On the week, steers show a
decided gain. Stuff weighing
around 1220 lbs. lias gold up to
$6.15, while there have been several
deals over $6.00. Good fat oows
and heifers an* selling at stronger
prices the first time in weeks.
Ilogs
The receipts of hogs tlie lirst two
days of the week were light and tin-
market 5(?j)l0e higher than last
week’s close. The quality was not
very good, no loppy kinds on sale.
The top today was $7.20, with the
hulk $7.15 to $7.25.
XV. C. T. V.
Tlie W. C. T. IT. institute while not
as well attended as might have been,
was very interesting and no doubt
ull w-ho were present understand the
work of the W. C. T. IT. heller than
before.
Mrs. Almira Straughen, of Chan-
dler, president of the county organ-
ization of the W. C. T. IT. presided
in a forceful and pleasing manner,
and discussed several topics under
consideration in a well-modulah-d
voice, using concise language in lo-
gical argument and apt illustrations.
She is zealous and effective in her
work for temperance, morality and
the betterment of society.
In the night session what consti
tutes good citizenship was ably dis-
cussed by Rev. Johnson and others
and a great many facts that we never
think about in our daily life wire
brought to the light.
Training for Citizenship in tie
School, led by Prof. Stonchrcnkcr.
was ably handled and all fathers and
mothers present were greatly bein'
fitted by this discussion.
Last, hut by no means least, Our
Part in Law Enforcement by Edgar
N. Sweet was educational as well as
entertaining. Mr. Sweet viewed the
subject from several different, view-
points and carried the audiem*- with
him to only one conclusion, and that
all laws should be enforce.
During these discussions the fact
ever remained prevailing that it is
the boy glowing up soon to he a man
that is the problem today. Hence
education in the schools, on the
street, in our places of business and
at all times, an example of temperate
and moral and lonest upright lives
will go a long way to help educate
the rising generation to carry on tin
work already begun by the W. C.
T. TT. and other temperate and civic
organizations. — Meeker Herald.
