Phone. N . 124.
June 4th, a good soaking rain, this
ought to stimulate an interest for a
rousing 4th of July celebration.
The Texhoma Argus announced in
its last issue that the subscription
price is now $1.50 per year. The raise
is justifiable on the ground that paper
stock of all kinds has advanced ma-
terially. $1.00 papers the country
over are coming to realize it is busi-
ness to get in the advanced class. The
Argus has advanced very materially in
-worth and the change is timely.
STATE REGISTRATION,
The democrats gained forty-four
per cent in registration over their vote
in 1914, the republicans forty percent
and the socialists twenty-five per cent.
If the same proportion of gain is main,
tained in all precincts throughout the
state, the democrats will register
164,714, the republicans 104,854, and
the socialists 66,287, making a total
of 325,805 voters registered, not in-
cluding approximately ten thousand
independents, progressives and pro-
hibitionists, as against 253,204 cast
for Governor Williams, democrat;
John Field, republican, and Fred
Holt, socialist, at the election.
The democratic gain is particularly
heavy in the southern part of the state
where elections are so one-sided that
at least twenty-five per cent of the
voters permit their interest in poli-
m I t'cs to subside ^s soon as the primar-

thousand negroes were permitted to

burden in the way of an addition^ en-
rollment of pupilrf who are entitled to
enjoy all of the school faciities pro-
vided by the State and districts, and
since the district along the railroads
are charged with this additional bur-
den, it would be extremely unjust to'
deny to them the benefit of taxes
iaid upon railroad properties.
Under the present method one new
railroad built across* your county
would add to your public service cor-
poration valuation from $1,000,000, to
$1,500,000, and to the schools of your
county an added revenue of $7,000 to
$10,000 per annum. If 12-A becomes
operative, this opportunity to increase
your revenue from public service cor-
poration beyond the per capita re-
turn wi|I be lost to your county and
district forever.

Amendment known as Section 12-A
Art. 10 on school revenue and tax
levies in district 8 for the fiscal year
1915-1916.
This is Guymon district and note that
32 per cent of the total taxable wealth
of our district in public service val-
uation.
Present method of taxation from
public service corporation operating
in this district is $3,758.83. Under the
new method for each of 443 enumera-
tion 886. Annual loss to district
$2,872.83. The tax levy necessary to
cover the loss in the district would be
increased over the present levy of
6.9 mills to 9.32 mills.

WHY USE SILOS IN TEXAS
COUNTY.
This is essentially a stock farming
country, and it requires rl"n■■ y ot
good succulent feed at all times oi the
year for best results in iaisi'ig any
kind of live stock. The silo is the one
sure way and the only sure way to
have it. Using our grain sorghums
'and canes as dry fodder at least two-
fifths of the feeding value is wasted
jand the dry feed is not as appetizing
as the silage. There is seldom a year
'here but at some season of it our pas-
tures are cut short on account of dry
j spells and unless we have something
to" supplement the pasture our stock
will lose flesh that will require extra
feed or pasture to regain. By the
'use of silos more stock can be kept
per farm, and that means more profit
per farm. Cows and sows, if proper-
ty handled are the best revenue pro-
ducers on the farm, and it is a hard
' matter to keep either profitably on
the upland farm here without the silo.
Silage is good for all kinds of stock,
but returns a greater revenue when
' f.ed to cows. If you have the cows
and a silo it means that you can keep
the brood sows at a profit. The si-
lage and skim milk taking the place
of the pasture you have so much|
trouble in making for your hogs. It i
j is a well established fact that hogs I
'cannot be grown at a profit in dry|
lots unless you can hilve skim milk,
silage or a good protein feed to bal-
ance your grain ration. Silage en-
| ables you to porduce beef, pork and
mutton cheaper, it increases the
[milk flow in the winter, it enables
: the farmer to farm fewer acres to
I produce enough feed and leave more
acres in the pasture. Let's see how
many silos we can get put down in
Texas county this summer.
