FOOD FOR THOUGHT
ON TRUCK FARMING
Il. c. Mllisan Writes lnstructiveIy Of
Profits to Be Cleaned From
Small Farm.

AS these warm days bring our
minds back to the fact that the earth
is the source from which we all must
look for sustinanee, and that she is
now getting ready to blossom and
bring forth fruit for our needs. we
naturally think in what way we can
best utilize portion of it that we
may be able to own, or secure the use
of from some of our fellows, that
have more than they can, or care, to
make use Of, themselves, so that we
may be able to supply our needs for
the present, and lay up something for
old age or the proverbal rainy day.
In this mood, our Thoughts instinc-
lively turn to the topic that is being
talked of everywhere, truck farming.
And why not? About eighty per cent
of us of small means, or moderate
circumstances, and have to depend
on our labor for our income, and not
upon the investment of our cash, and
this leads us to make some casual
calculations, which we believe might
be of profit to many people in this
community. We have taken for our
principal calculation, tomatoes, on a
basis of one acre, and we find the fol-
lowing:
The plants should be set about two
| feet apart in the row and the rows
three feet apart, and so planted would
give 1850 plants to the acre. Now
as it does not take very many toma.
toes to weight one pound, and that the
usual can holds two pounds, we be-
lieve that a well tended plant will not
yield less than two pounds or one can
Of good tomatoes in a season, (while
we positively know that they will Of
ten yield six to eight pounds and even
more) Now for good tomatoes we
have to pay fifteen and twenty cents
per can, retail Allowing the merchant
his usual forty per cent margin, and
the cO5t ". tlI tAEiE et4., uass
in the neighbodhood Of rs cents per
can, or as follows 1850 plants to the
acre; one can to the plant, 1850 cans.
1850 cans at rs cents a can is s54450
which is our pay for our work on one
acre of land. Now we have verified
these figures from other sources than
simply our own knowledge. and we be-
lieve we are not in the least over es-
timating the outcome for one acre of
tomatoes properly taken care of. But
on the other hand the odds are in favor

lawyer and Ir1lan politician, one stf

CITY BOND ISSUES PROVE
. EASY MONEY FOR GRAFTERS
Methods Adopted by Attorneys for Bond Com
panies Aired in the Senate = Blair Bill to
Legalize Bond Issues in Which Technical
Errors are Found -Goulding and Cor
dell Oppose VaLdation of all Bonds.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 4-The sensa.
tional statement that several cities
and towns have been held up by GER
tain grating bond attorneys who, by
picking out technical errors in bond is
sues, have driven bargains with mu-
inequalities to sell their bonds lower
than their real value, was made by
the senate yesterday in support of a
bill by Blair to legalize bond issues
in which there were discovered tech
nical errors which was advanced to
third reading.
Graham stated that it is customary
for certain bond companies to make a
contract with city, county or district
to purchase its bonds before they were
voted and that under spirited bidding
in many cases would pay a big prem
ium. These bonds, he said, were voted
under the procedure set out by the
bond companies themselves, and after
the bonds had been voted, an attorney
for the bond company would begin to
discover flaws in the issue. He de-
clared that a $4,000 bond issue in
Love county was sold in this way at a
premium of $4,000, and that after be-
ing voted, the bond attorney told the
county commissioners that the bonds
were not legal because they were vot-
ed under law which had been chang
ed by the legislature, and that it would
take long court procedure to deter
mine their validity This scared the
commissioners, according to Graham,
and the issue was sold at par
senators IiouIuIng ana CorueIf Up-
posed the section Of the original bill
which appeared to validate all bond
elections, stating that it might make
valid bonds voted through fraud. This
section was finally stricken from the
bill and the only section left stand
ing providing that only such bond
issues should be legalized as were
only technically at fault.
1t developed in the argument that
the real purpose of the bill is like that
of the Whayne bill, already killed in
the house, to make valid bond issues
held by the state banking board as
assets in connection with the Column
bia Bank and Trust company of Okla
homa City, and which it cannot real

v|NITA WILL GET
MILITARY SCHOOL
Prof. oIson's Plan Gets Hearty In
dorsement Of Commercial Club
Will Boost Sale of Lots.

The plan of Prof. j. G. Olson, OF
Parsons, Kans., to establish busi-
ness college and military school in
the old Willie Halsell college buildings,
received the hearty Endorsement of the
Commercial Club, at the regular week
ly meeting last night, and if the plan
is carried to a successful end Vinita
will next fall have the only military
school in the state, and business col
lege that promises to be more than
an ordinary school,
The plan for the establishment of
this school in Vinita, as outlined and
indorsed by the club is that when
fifty-three lots fifty feet by $50
feet in the addition belonging
to E. L. Orr and R. V. McSpadden
have been sold, these gentlemen will
give the old college buildings to Mr..
Olson for the establishment of the
school. Mr.. Olson agrees to expend
about $4,000 in repairing and equip
ping the buildings for a first class
school of the kind, and for advertising
the school throughout the southwest.
The price of the lots is to be $3.50 for
fifty feet frontage, $40, down and $40
per month with no interest until paid
out. The taxes to be paid by the
present owners. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the price asked for the lots
is not unreasonable, and that with
the location of such school at this
place, the value of the lots will be so
enhanced as to yield good profit to
the purchaser. AS was stated last
night the proposition seems to be one
that would benefit everyone concern
ed When the lots have been sold
Messrs. Orr and McSpadden will have
been repaid for the lands of the addi-
tion, including the buildings and six
acres which will go to the new school.
/. The purchasers Of the lots will be get
ting property that will return them
their money with good interest Mr..
Olson, when he has complied with his
part of the contract, by repairing and
.equipping the buildings, advertising
and keeping the school open for five
years will own the school site. Vinita,
best of all, gets a school that will
bring several hundred students here
each year, who will spend several
thousand dollars in the city, as well
as prove a great boon in increasing
the population of the city.
The business college and military
school is the only kind of private
school that can exist at the present
day. The high schools are putting all
other kinds of private schools out of
business, but the business college and
military school gives a course of train
ing that is impossible for the high
school.
Mr.. Olson is a proved success as
head of a business college. He is

founder of the Parsons Business CO..
lege, which is one of the largest and
best in the entire west This school
now has an enrolment of about 700
students and it Is MI. Mr. 0lsen's yelics
that Vinita is much better field for
such a school than Is Parsons. for
the reason that there is no first class
business college near this city, in Ok
lahoma, nor is there military school
in the entire state.
By indorsing the proposition the
Commercial Club agrees to boost the
sale of the lots in order to secure the
location of the school here. When it
is known that the school will be locat-
ed there it iss not believed there will
be any difficulty about selling the lots.
The only business besides the loca-
ton of this school taken up by the
club, was the matter of entertaining
the teachers that will attend the meet
ing here this month A resolution was
unanimously adopted giving the sup
port of the club to Superintendent
Shelton for the entertainment of the
teachers. A list of all the homes that
will entertain one or more teachers
will be made, and when the teachers
arrive they will be assigned to these
homes.
