farmer has ofrered him SIS per acre rent for the field:
 MT. sistrunk expects to get between one hundred and fifty and one nun dred and seventy five bales this year and over two bales per acre next year
 His methods of fertilizing at first, seems very expensive as IL costs apout s2s per acre. but with cotton at ten cents per pound he claims that he can. and does make after paying all expen- ses, from thirty to forty dollars an acre clear profit. This year no ex- poets to do even better.
 Mir. Sistrunk is not only cotton farmer.r but he raises corn and oats in abundance and everything else tnat the heart could desire to eat in the way of meat. lard. rice. vegetables fruits etc He expects also to make tnis year 4.000 gallons of syrup on nine acres planted in sugar cane.
 After looking carefully at the matter the question naturally occurs to one ''can a man make this much money in any other way by the same outlay of cashs"
 Again, this intensive method is going to solve in a great measure the labor question. One man can cultivate twenty or twenty-five acres and make mot only living for himself and fami- ly, but save money besides if the pres- ent price of cotton is maintained one hundred and fifty bales of cotton at ten cents per pound comes to sI.ooo. if this can be done tn poor land after six years of careful cultivation surely more should be produced in proportion on smaller area by using the same method.
 In my opinion we need more farm CTS who will put their time and thought to freeing their lands from the present mode of murderous euitiva- tion
 If you want an object lesson. ono that will convince the most increduous. then go see Mr Sistrunk of Fillmore county. He will be delighted to show you over his crop and give you any information he can. He says his crop is there for everybody to see

SISTRUNK'S BANNER FARM
 IN ELM0RE'S RED LANDS


 eight hundred pounds of phosphate have been used. wish to say. how ever. that this field produced forty bushels of seed per acre last year. 50 I only had to supply twenty bushels from other lands.
 ssrhe putting down Of my green corn seed is always the first work of the new year, and Y prefer finishing the iob during February So as to preyef any danger of germination l open up the middles of my six foot rows with m eight inch straight shovel and tol- low in the same furrow with double b,,rster with two mules. The seed are distributed in this furrow by ore horse distributor running on wheels and there is no trouble to put down any number of bushels desired per aefaL I then put a heavy list on seed ana let them stand until about the first of April. Then open the list furrow and put down the phosphate and run deep mixing fusrow, then bed out for planting . like that used py most farmers My land is cultivated on a level and mostly with large heel scrapes. IL IS unnec- essary to rotate land upon which cot ton seed has been used as described, but that the same can be cultivated in cotton for number of years, getting better each year.
 Result of Experiment..
 This hundred acre field six years ago made about a bale to every five acres. so MT. Sistrunk tells me, and last year after five years of his method of using green cotton seed and phosphate 1t made one hundred and twenty eight bales weighing five hundred pounds each. No wonder that more than one

Mr. Riddle came to the territory IN
the spring Of 1903. BY mis- courteous
manner. sturdy integrity, and the
thoro and satisfactory manne in
which ne dispatched matters intrust-
ed to HIM, Mr. Riddle soon built up a
large business. His clientage has
grown from year to year, until he finds
that more business comes to his Office
than he can personally dispatch.
Probably no man In Vlnita has as
many warm personal friends as has
Mr.. Riddle, and his success in his pro-
fession is gratifying to all who know
him.
Mr.. Riddle is not only thoroly
competent and successful lawyer, but
he is citizen Of whom any commun-
ity may well be proud. 1t is the com
mon saying in and about Vinita that
Mr.. Riddle has done more for the
welfare of the community generally
and for the promotion Of enterprises
that improve and build up the city
than any other citizen. While NJ.
Riddle makes his living cut Of the
practice Of law, he yet devotes great
deal Of his time, his enthusiasm, and
his energy to the public welfare and
he is always one OF the tirst persons
who is enlisted in any public under
taking.
Mr.. Riddle had scarcely been in our
community a year when he was elect
ed president Of the Commercial club.

Held FOR ARSON RITTER ARRESTED
Young Cherokee Charged With
Burning a School House
At Kansas

Deputy Marshal Bob Hicks Of Pryor
Creek last night brought in Sam
Davis who is held to the grand jury
by Commissioner kirkpatrick on tie
charge Of arson. Saturday night the
Lutheran school house at Kansas was
burned, and the indications pointed
to incendiarism. Davis, who is a
young Cherokee, was arrested charged
with the crime, and, tho the evidence
against him is purely circumstantial,
Commissioner Kirkpatrick considered
it sufficiently strong to warrant his
being held to the grand jury.
There has been long fight in Kan
sas between two factions. OF late
there has been hot and acrimonious
discussion Of the school question,
many of the merchants and "progres-
sives" being opposed to the contin-
uance Of the Lutheran school and in
favor Of the establishment of free
school, 1t is charged that these men
hired Davis to burn the Lutheran
school. The building cost about
81, ,000 and was well-known land
mark of that, section o. the country.
1t marked the center Of Lutheran
work among the Cherokees.

with him as studentsin IN Mr. Clapham's
classes, were the Honorable Al. K.
Mood, leading attorney of Claremore
and the Honorable Oliver Q. Black. a
prominent practitioner OF Oklahoma
City.
When Mr. Riddle found his business
growing beyond his ability to person
ally handle it, he made proposition
to Mr.. Clapham to become his assocu
late. While considering the proposs
ition Me Clapham visited the terri
tory several times and personally in
vestigated the principal towns. After
carefully comparing their advantages
and prospects, he is Of the opinion
that there is no other town In the
territory with 50 many latent possi-
bilities as has Vinita, and as resi-
dence town IL easily leads them all.
Mr. Clapham has the reputation Of
being the best read lawyer in Indiana
and as practitioner he has been re-
markably successful. While he was
considering Mr.. Riddles proposition
he was offered the deanship Of a prom
inent state university law school, but
he prefers the active practice, and
has therefore refused the position.
The prospect for business in the new
state looks SO good to Mr. Clapham
that he has decided to accept Mr..
Riddles proposition. He will move
his fSmily TO Vinita as soon as a
suitable residence can be secured.
