OLD IDEA EXPLODED
Lavhon Proves that 100 MERIDIAN
Isn't eDad : inc

LaWton, O. T., nov. &.-That old
theory that all lands on and west of the
one hundredths meridian IN the United
States was unit for farming because of
lack of rainfall seems 10 be thoroughly
outlived IN the new Oklahoma. Home
seekers who came here merely for the
sake Of getting q homestead without
much hope Of prospering from the pro
duets of its sell have found them Won
derfully in error in their opinions and
have become already the prosperous far
mers of the new country.
Thousands of acres of wheat have been
sown in Comanche county, one man alone
having in three hundred acres. Instead
of the drouth preventing the sowing rain
fall has been superaDunGanr Never
were prospects for a large wheat crop
brighter However, the recent continued
rainfall has oecasioned some little rust.
While in some parts Of the great cot
ton state just TO our south, in places ten
acres of cotton was required 10 yield
bale. the average of Comanche county
has been a third of a bale TO the acre.
Cotton has matured well and opened
nicely The rains have prevented picking
TO some extent. but late bolls are yet
making and the top crop viii be a thing
of no little moment Gins have been built
all over the county and the exporting
of cotton seed has been an important
thing.
Kafhr corn is an important production
of the new country. Hundreds Of acres
have been planted in the county The
profitable features is that two crops are
raised and matured from only one sowing.
The corn crop was good. One home
steader has cribbed 100 bushels of his
claim. Roasting ears, fresh from the
fields OF June corn are continually on
the market in the middle of the win
ter.
Cane is another leading production of
the new country.
Green tomatoes are now selling on the
market at fifteen cents per peck. The
second crop OF watermelons is d wonder

much sought after as the first ones that
smiled on the vines in the early sum-

Irish potatoes yield TWO crops a year

1T is understood that the fight for
statehood in the senate will be led by
Senator Quay, Of Pennsylvania, who IS
a member of the senate committee on
territories. and who believes the state
hood bin should pass without any unnec-
essary delay. It was through the efforts
Of Mr. Quay that an agreement was
reached by which the bill was to be
made the unfinished business in the SEN
ate. December 20, and he has done his
utmost to create sentiment among sena-
tors in it's favor Nr Quay believes the
bin should be passed and without any
prolonged discussion. During the recent
session Mr.. Beveridge was very emphat-
ioaly opposed to the statehood idea
Friends of the bill are wondering if the
investigation he ana his committee have
conducted in the territories has caused
him to change his views. The advocates
OF statehood are counting on the support
OF President Roosevelt, whom they are
quoting as favoring the admission Of the
territories without any reference 10 their
true political affiliations.
In the house the statehood bill was
rot regarded favorably by Speaker Hen
derson and other Republican leaders, but
the sentiment there for the bill was so
strong that the speaker finally consented
to its consideration. The Democrats stood
with the advocates of statehood. and the
combination formed such a large majority
that when the vote was taken the bill
was passed without opposition. It is be-
Eeved that all the Democrats in the sen
ate viii favor it.
Delegate FLYNN is so confident that Ok
lahoma will be admitted that he is Civ
ing consideration to Its future as a state.
The understanding is that when it has
been admitted he viii be elected one of
the new states first senators. He has
served four terms in the house. and
would have been renominated this year
had he not decided to relinquish his po-
sition. His successor, Mr.. Mcclure, is
young lawyer of ability.
Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico. is
also spoken of in connection with the
senatorshlp. He received a strong IN
Gorsement at the polls and will be ac-
i've in the fight for statehood when it
develops in the senate. He is a native Of
LELAND. but came to the United States
