A GREAT SHOWING

0Re item of transcendent import
ance to all Oklabomans is our agri.
cultural growth. Each year Oklaho-
ma pushes higher up in her average,
each year the acreage under cultiva.
tion Increases; each year cultivation
becomes more intense and the re-
turns are increased accordingly. The
state has fifth in area of tillable
lands; its fine climate allowing a
greater variety of valuable products
than many states with a larger till
able area.
Few people understand the clima
tic differences which make the new
state an empire in agriculture with
IN our borders can be grown all the
products of the Far South, save that
Of Florida and the Brownsville area
of Texas: we can outstrip Californla
in all save the citrus products, and
we rival the great prairie black loan
states of Iowa and Illinois in the pro
duction of corn: with better wheat
lands than eithe. Kansas, the Dakotas
or imperial Montana. 7
Under such conditions and with 9
reople who came here from all the
older states is it therefore remark
able that we are making such gigan
tic strides toward agricultural supre
macy?
Moreover, we have early ascertain
ed the advantage of scientific applica
ton to the soil, and the average OK
lahoma farmer is scientist as to dl
yersity and rotation of his crops
with the attendant blessing of hay
ing something to sell almost each o
the growing months of the year?
Add to these conditions the furthel
ability to make the ground ready FOL
the crop during the winter. when the
airie farmers farther north arr
housed in, and one can basily under
stand why the best soil tillers from
cider states are rushing to this MOD
ern and peculiarly blest land. OF th'
fair god of everlasting sunshine ant
continuous prosperity

June llth Is the date that viii
decide whether the people are will
ing to give up the control OF the cor.
poratons and return to the cond-
tions that surrounded us during Ter
ritorial days. Should the people OF
Oklahoma be scared by the corpor-

Section 40 of Article 8. which in real
ity repeals about all the right Of that
important alticle we will have sur
rendered back to the railroads every
right that was restored to the people
when our present constitution was
adopted. DO the people of Lincoln
county believe that 1t will be to their
interests TO do this?
The proposed bill which locates the
permanent capital for the state of
Oklahoma, would be the greatest
thing for the real estate grafters OF
Oklahoma City, but would be hard
thing on the citizenship on the bal
ance of the state and would open
wide the doors of scandal and cor
ruption Wherever the capital Is To-
Gated 1t should be done by one of the
most carefully drawn bills prepared
by our best statesmen and not by a
few real estate boomers who desire
to get rich at the expense OF the TAX
payers of the state. This is not a
partisan question, hence we call up
on our Republicans as well as our
Democratic friends to help defeat this
| bill.

desire the capital location at Guthrie

or any other place, If you are interest.

Judging from the published opi/

removal proposition has got its quie-
tus and is now st juggling in the last
throes of mortal agony. We are all
proud of big, thriving town like Ok
lahoma City in our state, as we are
also of Guthrie and Shawnee, but that
is no reason why we should rip up a
contract with the general government
in order to give to any one OF them
additional boom mterial.

The effort of the Oklahoman and

outfit, which has become 50 selfish

able TO harm others.
