TOWN BUILDING AND
COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT


The bulletins Of the 1910 census
show remarkable urban growth dur
ing the past decade. Towns and cit
ies. large ana small. have gone for
ward by leaps and bounds. Town
boosting and town building have be-
come the great national game.
In Oklahoma. where there is more
enterprise to the square foot than
in any other country on Garth and
where every village cherishes deep
seated desires and hopes Of being
metropolis our towns have made
surprising progress and we have had
ample justification for raising our
sights high. However, the sagging
Of the great development movement
which has been in progress for the
past five years or more all over the
country has begun to raise the ques-
tion whether the towns have not
grown too fast. Undoubtedly in Ok
lahoma and in many other states
some towns have gone ahead Of the
COUNTRY and as this fact has dawhed
more and more clearly On our minds
during the past twelve months. far
seeing town builders have grasped
the IDEA that the real problem before
them IS country development.
The census bulletins furnish plen-
u az Illustrations OF towns that have
had mushroom growth and have then
dropped back to the level oi tise coun-
try in which they are locsted. These
towns win come back when the
surrounding country reaches a POINT
to justify it. Ii many instances the
development movement in the towns,
including vast municipal improve
slnenta and extensive building opera,
fions OF all kinds, has served to blind
the people to the normal conditions
that would exist without such actiyi-
ty.
Rural development is the basis Of
the growth Of our towns and cities.
1t is true that the towns located in
purely mining or manufacturing dis
tricts may be regarded as furnishing
exceptions, but we must remember
that Oklahoma is still an agricultural
state. at least the greatest part of it,
and in our town-building we must
bear this in mind. We have just en-
tered the border Of the manufacturing
period. and the numerous examples Of
half-baked factory enterprises in SO
many towns furnish plenty Of illusra-
tions Of our cropping. clumsy efforts in
this line. We can succeed with fac
tories that are logically adapted to
our conditions but we have learneG
BY experience that "hurrah" factory
building is too often attended by dis
astrous consequences.
When vie turn our attention to the
things that make for rural develop
ment. we can be assured that we are
tackling the tangible and possible and
that we are sure to achieve results.
BY centering our efforts on better ag-
riculture. the building Of modern
roads and all those things that in
crease the productions Of the soil and
improve rural conditions, we are play
ing the BODYBUILDING game in the
way demanded by the logic Of events.
We have wonderful field Of op-
portunity before us in developing the
truly marvellous resources Of Grady
county and if we apply ourselves to
the task as we should we win pave
the way for far greater and better
