general expectations but the loss
seems to be principally in Louisiana

shortest on record. The weather has
been almost perfect for over two
months row and with plenty of labor
and cotton all open earlier than known
before in years. there is no reason why
the ginning should not be even larger.
The farmers seem to have sold it very
freely, especially in Texas, where the
crop is good in most Of the counties,
but only few of them report as good
as 1906, and they are some of the
smaller producing counties in the

FORTY CARS or PLOWS
FOR TEXAS JODDERS
Shipment Made by Special Train Accompan-
led by Boosters and Railroad Officials
Here Sunday

In the way Of mercantile accomplish
ments Texas has Oklahoma bested. A
train Of forty cars loaded with plows
from one firm to the Penick-Hughes
company, Stamford. Texas passed
through here yesterday The train
was from Canton, H., and carried the
largest order of farm implements ever
consigned to a single firm in the
United States
The train is travelling on regular
schedule and is attracting great atten-
tion all along the line. A large band
made up Of the employees Of the COM
pany manufacturing the plows accom-
panied the train and at every stop they
give concerts.
Secretary Homer d. Wade OF the
Stamford Commercial club, and r. l.
Penick. to whom the plows are con-
signed. distributed literature advertis-
ing the Western country Of the Lone
Star state. On account Of reaching
here on the Sabbath their stay was
shortened and the band concert almost
eliminated. On the rear Of the train
was a large flat car arranged for the
band, and Pullman sleeper for their
4 accommodation A private car carried
the people accompanying the ship
ment and J. W. Robins. vice president
and general manager of the Rock Is
land, General Superintendent w. s.
Tinsman, c. l. Kerr, trainmaster. and
H. S. Battle. general agent, Peoria. III.
and business men Of Stamford and
Canton.
The remarkable part Of this large
consignment is the point Of destina-
ton. A few years ago the Stamford
country was considered unfit for farm
ing purposes and was used for pastnr-
ing great herds Of longhorns. The
change has been made within the past
ten years and shows what can be done
BY man with pluck and energy. It Is
claimed that the land is well adapted
to all kind OF farm products.
4 Several local business men and mem
bers Of the Chickasha Commercial
club who happened to be down town
after their mail. mixed with the crowd
Of Sunday visitors and imbibed the
spirit Of large undertakings It was
decided that when the next railroad is
promoted from Chickasha that Stam-
ford will be the other terminus and
that the next shipment of this kind
will be made from Chickasha
Parlin & 0rendorf were the manu-
facturers of the order and every car.
in addition to the handsome decora-
tions, carried the name of the mer-
chant to which each car was consigned.

tracts on the long side. the sales being
nearly all hedges against the pur
chase Of spot cotton from farmers.
As soon as the heavy movement is
over the mills will buy this cotton from
the cotton merchants and these hedges
will be brought in and win cause the
market to advance gradually to much
higher figures. The balance of this
years crop should sell for 121s cents,
and strongly advise the farmers not
to sell another bale under IL cents
unless you have to meet your obliga-
tons.
Another reason why we will have
higher prices is that cotton cannot be
grown in the boil weevil district for
less than IL cents, at a profit. The
yield per acre is not half as much
and the cost of cultivation a great
deal more. AS this district now Gov
ers territory that produces 100000
bales, the price will have to advance
or the acreage in the weeviI district
win be greatly reduced as to raise
less than the world needs and cause
extremely high prices. as in 1908,
which the spinners do not want.
