BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
The above headline has appeared
in a great many journals of late. We
have paid little attention to them,
knowing every one was aware of this
fact as well as us journal men men.
The hard times of the past year has
probably affected Oklahoma less than
most states in the union. Oklahoma’s
population is placed at 1,445,261 in the
biennial ’report of the Oklahoma board
of agriculture; 760,635 are males, 884,
626 females.
The amount of money now in cir-
culation is the greatest ever known.
The month of December just closed
it is estimated that there was 3,117,-
561,033 dollars in circulation in the
union. This is the most ever known
in one month. This figured down
makes $35.39 per capita, also the
largest in history. The wet weather
early in the spring drowned a good
many of our early chicks, which will
make a good demand for stock and
eggs from those who are fortunate
enough to have a surplus. Taking
into consideration the above facts we
see no use to kick. All we have to
do is let people know we have the
surplus to dispose of and with more
money than ever before you will sure-
ly reap your reward.
IN REGARD TO NEW SUBSCRIP-
TIONS.
The New’ State Poultryman has in
all probabilities the largest number
of subscription workers in the poul-
try field today. We are putting on
new readers so fast our monthly sup-
ply is soon exhausted.
Our order for Journals is given on
the 25th of each month. If your name
has been turned in to ue by that time
you will receive the following issue.
After this date we fill the first lists
that come in until our Journals are
exhausted. If you do not receive your
paper until the 1st of the month do
not get uneasy as we have no men
on our list that is not strictly hon-
est, or at least we believe to be. If
we find them otherwise we will take
them from our list of workers.
Watch us grow.
READERS AND HALF-TONES.
We will run readers and half-tones
for all display advertisers gratis when
sent to us and return them to you
just as soon as we can get them from
our forms. If you have a good half-
tone and are advertising with us, send
it in, they tell the readers of the Jour-
nal just w’hat kind of birds you are
breeding. We do not want stock cuts
“unless you want to run same in your
ad.” Only genuine half-tones taken
from actual life.
BIG SHOW AT OKLAHOMA CITY
JAN. 18-23, ’09. SEND FOR PREM-
IUM LIST.
DEATHS.
A letter from Mr. F. V. Marker,
received on the twenty-first of the
month, informs us he lost his father
on this date. All poultrymen in the
great southwest know Mr. Marker per-
sonally or by reputation and will ex-
tend to him their sympathy in his
sad hours.
Mr. C. O. Preston, Chilocco, Okla.,
will have the sympathy of all friends
when they learn that during the past
month his oldest boy was called to
the great beyond. Mr. Preston is one
of Oklahoma’s most respected citizens.
OKLAHOMA THE HUB.
Every wheel has a hub. Oklahoma
is the hub of the great Southwest. It
is centrally located and when you
look on the map you will see our ad-
vantages. On the south we have Tex-
as, on the west Texas and New Mex-
ico, on the north Kansas and on the
east Missouri and Arkansas. Colo-
rado touches us slightly on the north
and it is only a short distance to
Louisiana. When it comes to climate
we cannot be beaten. The southwest
has been conceded the best poultry
country in the union today, and if you
are after the growing demand for
throughbred poultry we want you to
•stop long enough to look up our lo-
cation. We are covering this entire
territory like a blanket. Poultrymen
throughout the union are beginning
to realize the importance of this ter-
ritory. For this reason we have but
one thing more to say.
Watch us grow.
SHOW REPORTS.
This is the season of the year when
the Poultry Shows are in full blast.
We realize it is a nice thing to have
these reports published in full and
will do our best to take care of them,
but should your individual show be
left out remember there were prob-
ably a dozen reports sent in ahead of
yours.
TO OUR ADVERTISERS.
As it is impossible to publish the
report of all shows sent to our desk
we would suggest to our advertisers
that when you make a winning that
you send in a report of your winnings,
as these can be taken care of, where
it will be impossible to report the full
show.
EGGS ARE WORTH MONEY NOW.
In New York on the ninth of De-
cember common assorted eggs were
selling at 52 cents per dozen. This
is the common white egg and not the
kind we would buy for setting pur-
poses. The cause is scarcity. The
rains of last spring and early summer
throughout Missouri, Oklahoma, Illi-
nois, Kannas, Iowa and o*her cnicken
