OFTIjOOK for crop
Haskell County.
'The outlook for the coming crop
is very favorable at this time for all
crops, so far as season and soil con-
ditions are concerned.
There is more laud broke at this
tiime than we have had for a number
of years. Some few fields show no
sign of the farmer's plow yet but we
will always have a few tailenders.
Since we have a large percentage
of our. fields broken ready to apply
the next application, that ot prepar-
ing the seed bed, and that up to this
time nothing has, nor could have
been planted but oats of which the
acreage is much less than last year,
we are trying to guess jUBt now what
all this broke land will be planted in.
Everybody seams to be of one opin-
ion, so far as opinion goes, which is
the cotton acreage should not be any
larger than last year and that we
should plant more food and feed
crops. Now that farmers, business
men and all are giving this advice,
which means we have all settled on
one point, there seems to be no sane
reason why this shall not be done, un-
less most of our folks are unwilling
to take their own advice. Since cot-
ton planting time is getting closer wc
hear less talk about {>oll weevil and
the necessity of holding .our acreage
down, than we did a short time back.
If we ever had any reason to fear the
boll weevil and the deplorable condi-
tions broughta bout in the past by the
one crop cotton of which no sane
thinking man can deny, we still have
the same reason and conditions con-
fronting us in planting the com-
ing crop as we have had in the past.
Does it not seem that it is about time
to put up or shut up, and that the
wise thing to do is for everybody to
everlastingly keep preaching the doc-
trine of grow your living at home, In-
crease the number of live stock on
our farms and produce feed for the
same? After this, and not until then
will cotton became a money crop to
the farmer. Sure the man who con-
trol the land hold most of the power
to bring this about and it is his duty
as a citizen of Haskell County to ex-
ercise his power to bring some of the
things to pass we have all been talk-
ing about. In this we feel these men
are willing to do their part. So
there.seems to be nothing left for the
cotton grower than to start taking
his own advice. Hold the cotton ac-
reage down to that which he can
plant and cultivate properly after he
has planted plenty of food for the
family and feed for the live stock.
Don't fool yourself with the old
gag that everybody is planting a
small acreage of cotton and this is the
year for you to make your stake at
their expense. To most folks this is
past history and unless you are on a
very cold trail of what past history
has taught the people in the cotton
growing sections, you will do the
thing that any unan who poses
as an American citizen will do. Any
thing and fill that is in your power to
regulate our crops to the common
good of all. Take heed lest we all
continue to go the down-ward way of
an unprogressive agriculture. Think
over some of- the things said by men
of old. Pity the state whose farm
values are advancing, but whose farm
people are .not advancing.. Pity the
state indeed where wealth accumu-
lates and (men decay. Because farm-
ing has become a breeding place for
profits, and not a place to develop
manhood. To one and all rememer
it is necessary to hold the cotton ac-
reage dawn this year, it least to the
last year's acreage.

Munn-Dunlap Post
No. 22
STIGLER, OKLAHOMA
To All Ex-Service Men of Haskell
County:
The Munn-Dunlap Post No. 22 of
Stigler, Oklahoma, of the American
Legion, if you are not already a mem-
ber of any American Legion Post,
wants you. Our Post has already
gone over its 1921 mark for members
and has a good start to double the
same for 1922.
We are now having a memoersnip
contest with the American Legion at
Sallisaw. The contest closes April;
15, 1922. Every Legionnaire in Has-
kell county is urged to get a member
before that date. We cannot afford
to let Sallisaw win.
Since the organization of our Post
and esepcially during the last year,
many claims of all classes have been
adjusted without cost to ex-service
men. This is only one of the many
services the Legion renders to the
ex-service man.
It is absolutely essential that the
ex-service men keep a strong organ-
ization; this is becoming more ap-
aprent every day.
The priceo f a year's dues is $2.
Give yourself the once over and see
how you would feel if you could not
became a Legion member, because of
discharge from the draft, or hishon-
orale discharge. Would you part
with your privilege of eing eligible to
membership for the price of a year's
dues.
If you do not think the Legion is
helping you, remember you are help-
ing the disabled ex-service men by
keeping an ex-service men's organiza-
tion.
There is every prosepct of increas-
ing power and usefulness in the Le-
sion. Its real sphere of activity is
only just opening before it. The
memebrship reaches Into every nook
and corner of the earth.
The Munn-Dunlap Post at Stigler
owns its Club-house and it is a credit
to any Post. Hardly a week goes by
without some inquiry from same
other post in this or some other state
concerning it. We are proud of it
and want you to enjoy it with us.
Do not put it off any longer but
join now.
William G. Stigler,
Acting Post Commander, Munu-
Dunlap Post, No. 22.
Official:
Elgar D. Holley,
Adjutant.
This week Acting Post Commander
William G. Stigler received an auto-
graphed photo from Woodrow Wilson
for the Hut. The letter received in
connection with the photograph,
which is self-explanatory, reads as
follows:
2340 S. Street N. W.
23 February 1922.
Mr. Wim. G. Stigler,
Stigler, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
Mr. Wilson asks me to reply to
your letter of the 15th., inst and say
it has given him pleasure to send you
(in this mail) one of his photographs
to be hung on the will of the club
room of your Post.
Trusting the picture will reach you
pafely, and with every good wish;
Cordially yours,
John Randolph Boiling,
JRB-C Secretary.
The contest for members between
the American Legion Post of Sallisaw
and the local post Is on. An effort
will be made by the Munn-Dunlap
Post to get every ex-srvice man in ]
Haskell county in the Legion between'
now andn April 15th. Already there
is uiuch enthusiasm displayed. Re-j
ports from Sallisaw indicate that they
are going in to win.
A short time ago a Woman's Aux-
iliary was organized by the Munn-
Dunlap Post and promises to become
an important factor in local Legion
affairs. The Auxiliary meets with
the Legion next Monday night at the
Hut, at which time steps will be
taken to perfect the organization.
Every member of the Auxiliary is
urged to be present.
There will be an important meet-
*ng of the Munn-Dunlap Post at the
Hut next Monday night. Reports
will be received from the member-
ship campaign and iinore intensive
methods will be introduced towards
getting every ex-service man in Has-
kell county in the Legion.
Everyone is invited to the meeting
of the Munn-Dunlap Post of the Am-
erican Legion and the Woman's Aux-
iliary at the Hut next Monday night,
March 6th.
There has been a telephone install-
ed at the Hut. The number is 327.
home strawberry patch.
(By D. C. MOORING
Extension Horticulturist, A. & M.)
It is very difficult to find anyone
who does not like nice fresh straw-
berries and even in fairly large quan-
tities. At the same time, how j.nany
have all they want, An average siz-
ed family of five can comfortably con-
sume five quarts daily. Figure on
the home patch furnishing for twenty
days which as a rule would cost 35
cents or more per quart. That would
mean $35 for strawberries in one
season to say nothing of the surplus
that could be sold or preserved in
some form. Very few families buy
$35 worth of berries in one season,
so it naturally appears that the only
solution is to have a home patch.
There are several reasons why we
do not have more home patches,
chiefly among which are:
1. Some previous failure due to
improper selection of soil, wrong va-
riety or poor culture.
2. Simply neglected putting out
a patch.
Sometimes people think that a rich
soil is necessary and proceed to ma-
nure the call very heifvly. This is a
mistake as freqquently an excessive
amount of manure, in decomposing,
may cause the plants to rot. Again
rich soil stimulates an excessive plant
growth at the expense of fruit pro-
duction and also where plants early
in the spring they are more apt to
sufTer from drought when dry weath-
er sets in.
Select a good clay loam soil, capa-
ble of retaining a moisture and of
only medium fertility. It is surpris-
ing to see some of the successful
strawberry patches in the Ozarks,
where from a superficial observation
it would seem that the plants are
growing in a mass of small rocks.
Select a perfect variety, that is, ono
which does not require another varie-
ty to furnish the pollen, generally
termed a variety to fertilize the im-
perfect variety. The Klondike and
Aroma are good standard varieties
and each one is a perfect variety.
Taken as a general rule from a
home standpont the ever-bearing va-
riety of strawberries are not success-
ful. Where irrigation is practical
and a good sized patch possible then
the ever-bearers are practical.
Set your home strawberry patch In
late February or March. Mark off
your rows at least three feet apart
and set plants two feet apart in the
row. Keep the root* moist. Make
the opening plenty large and deep
enough so the roots may be spread
out and not doubled up. Set the
plants to the crown, but be sure not
to cover up the terminal bud.
Keep the plants cultivated from
the time the plants are set out until
the fall rains begin. The idea is to
make a good growth. In case the
plants try to bear the first spring,
that is, the same spring they are set,
pinch the blossoms off and throw that
nourishment into plant production.
As the runners start train them in
the direction oof the row and in this
way a solid mat in the direction of
the row will be formed by the end of
the growing season. This system of
training will establish what is known
as the matted row system which is
best adapted to Oklahoma conditions.
Secure two hundred plants of one
of the above varieties, set tham out in
March in a clay loam soil, cultivate
well and have plenty of. strawberries
for the season of 1923.
No one in Stigler who suffers back-
ache, headaches, or distressing uri-
nary ills can afford to ignore this
Stigler woman's twice-told story. It
is confirmed testimony that no Stigler
resident can doubt.
Mrs. H. Gatlin, 9th and E. Frank-
lin Streets, says: "I suffered for a
long time with symptoms of the trou-
ble and the pains and annoyance I
endured was something terrible to
bear. My back was so bad I couldn't
stoop or lift anything without suffer-
ing torture. I was often so lame
and sore I could hardly drag myself
about. I felt languid and depressed
all the time and was subject to head-
aches and dizziness. Seeing Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised, I procured
a box at the Stigler Drug Comnapy.
They helped ime at once and in a re-
markably short time I was cured."
(Statement given February 1, 1912.)
On April 7, 1921, Mrs. Gatlin said:
"I have the sarnie good words for
Doan's Kidney Pills that I have al-
ways had. I wouldn't think of tak-
ing any other kind of medicine for
kidney trouble."
