DRY FARMING IN WESTERN
OKLAHOMA.
;: :: :: Il u y :: ;: u II {. :: u

(By Anders l.. Mordt, Guymon, Okla,
Executive Committeeman Dry Farm
ing Congress, State of Oklahoma.)
As you know Oklahoma is, as
whole, not a dry farming state. Only
the extreme western part has in the
last couple of years adopted methods
agitated by the Dry Farming Congress.
We usually have rain enough to raise
crop without great efforts, but years
like 1908 and 1909 have forced us to
realize that dry farming methods are
methods of importance also in thtf
part of the world. We have realized
that If the farmers had adopted dry
farming methods and farmed accord
ingy through the last two years, good
crops would have been the result.
have in the last two years endeavored
to spread the dry farming germ and
| it seems like the farmers are aware Of
the fact that dry farming is going to
be a good friend.
There is a Norwegian colony in
Hanford county, Texas, brought in
from the best settlements of the north
and northwest. These men have adopt
ed the dry farming methods as the
only way to farm in this country, and
they intend to keep this up regardless
of rainy or drouthy years. AS result,
If they have a rainy year, they can
store away enough moisture to raise
a crop that year and leave enough TO
supply a second year when they add
the ordinary rainfall to the supply that
they have stored away. The greatest
trouble seems to be due to the fact
that the wind blows in the spring. The
farmers have learned that they can
not afford to work the dust blanket
too fine as the wind in the spring sea
son will carry inches of dirt away from
one field over on another. If they
leave the field too lumpy there will
be too many crooks and the evapora-
tion will be too large. We must find
middle way. There is also a doubt
as to whether or not deep plowing
is good thing. Some state that five
inches is all any one must plow at any
time, while others claim that eight,
ten and twelve incA plowing is not too
much. We are as yet In the expert
mental stage, and it will take some
time before We can do very much in
laying down rules for farming.

present time, not claim more than six
teen to twenty inches of moisture in
the ground and shall need far more
rain to raise a good wheat crop than
the class Of farmers above mentioned.
The difference of about thirty inches of
moisture in the ground is enough TO
show that the dry farming methods are.
beneficial.
Farther west and south, where con
ditions are more trying, people are
rapidly advancing along the same
lines. The farmers generally are be-
ginning to apply more methodical
work in the cuIuvation of the soil, and
/ believe that greater interest will
soon be manifested by the farmers
throughout the entire southwest for
the great work the Dry Farming Con
gress is doing than the middle west,
the inter-mountain region or the north
west ever has shown.
want to state expressly that, while
We adopt dry farming methods with
great advantage in our country, we do
not need to use one year to store
enough moisture away for the second
year. With our rainfall and our fer
tile soil we can raise a crop every
year, even in the dryest seasons.

for assistance. The history of the
medical profession warrants the pre-
diction that this demand shall not
be made in vain; and, as in the
alleviation, so in the prevention OF
human suffering, at the call of the
master word, duty, the practicing
physician will make good Does this
hopeful prediction apply to the phys
icians of Texas as well as to those
of other states? We hope and be
lieve it does.

VOTERS MAY TAKE CHOICE.


Society for the purpose Of gov
ernment, is divided into two classes
tho good and the bad. If the good
men dominate in numbers and in
fluence in the affairs OF government
we have good laws and good gov
ernment and the converse is true If
the bad element prevails in our
political affairs. In Oklahoma We will
have just as good government as we
deserve. We will deserve just as
good government as we demand
no better and no worse. AS long
as the honest voters of the state
perform their political Obligations
and register their votes on election
day, our state government is Sc
cure. One real patriot who goes to
the polls and casts an honest ballot
in favor of honest government, is
worth more to the state and com
munity than n hundred self-styled
patriots who stay at home and
spend their time crying out against
bad laws and corrupt officials.
have no patience with the man, be
he preacher or layman, who enyel.
opes himself IN cloak OF self
styled righteousness, and holds him
self aloof from political contests
If he is at heart a good man, IL
is the more incumbent upon him
70 take part in politics Politics
will never be male purer and clean
er by unclean voters. but an honest
citizenship, constantly and diligent
" asserting itself, will give us clean
politics and clean politicians. Lee
Cruce.
Hon. Lee Cruce in the foregoing
statement made in his keynote
speech delivered at Fairfax, Okla.
September 18th, touches on an I'M
portant subject. I'VE will deserve
just as good government as We de
mand-no better and no worse.
This sentence expresses it. The
question is do we demand good gov
ernment? DO the men whose vote
would be cast for good government
take advantage of their citizenship
and cast their ballot? Too often
they do not Mr. Cruce says, Il
have no patience with the man, be
he preacher or layman, who envel-
opes himself in cloak OF self
styled Righteousness, and holds him
self aloot from political contests"
1t goes without saying there are
more honest voters than dishonest
voters in the state. Then Mr. Cruces
statement that when honest voters
perform their duty, no state can be
dishonest in its politics, should put
all good men thinking and should
cause all men who rant at the gov
ernment, express dissatisfaction,
kick and knock, and then on cleo
tion day fail to vote, change their
tactics and take advantage of their
citizenship.

these lands purchased and put in a
