SHIFT OF FARMING POPULATION

There has been a decrease in the
population of the agricultural sections
in many Of the older states. according
to the recent census, but it does not
Indicate that there are fewer farmers,
or that there is a decrease in the
prosperity of agriculture.
The farming industry was never so
prosperous as it is at the present time.
The decrease in the population in the
older states simply means that the
farms there are being sold, possibly to
the larger land owners, and that the
farmers are shifting to other places.
Many of them are coming to the south
west and Oklahoma is getting a large
share. A great many go south. and
some are going to Canada.
Land in the older states has become
too highpriced for the farmer who
owns only little of it and desires to
buy more. In nearly every instance the
land adjoining his farm is not for sale.
1t is owned by those who desire to
hold it, His only hope of becoming
farmer on a larger scale is to go to
a state where land may be acquired at
a reasonable price. Oklahoma offers
such opportunities.
Farming in Oklahoma is not a hap
hazard industry, but highly scientific
calling. Thefarmer coming from an
other state into Oklahoma will soon
find himself going along with the other
in the community acquiring an educa-
tion and high order of training as a
scientific agrieulturist.
One of the best things that can be
said of Oklahoma farming land is that
it is ready for the plow 1t does not
have to be cleared of stumps and un-
ierbrush. Taken in its undeveloped
state, a crop can be raised the first
5ear.-Oklahoma City Times.

SPECIAL TERM OF
DISTRICT COURT
Terms of District Court For the Twen-
ty-Third Judicial District of the
State of Oklahoma.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
After comforting with the members
of the bar in the counties of Ottawa,
Craig and Mayes, which comprise the
newly created twenty-third district of
the state of Oklahoma, Judge Preston
S. Davis will request the supreme
court of this state to set the following
dates for the beginning of the regular
terms of court in the counties that
comprise his district as follows, to-
wit
At Pryor Creek, in Mayes county,
the third Monday in March and the
third Monday in September
At Miami in Ottawa county, the
third Monday in April and the second
Monday in October
At Vinita, in Craig county, the third
Monday in May and the first Monday
in November.
Judge Davis will also request the SUI
lpreme court to set a special term for
Craig county, to be held at Vinita, in
the near future and before the regular
term which will convene on the third
Monday in May, at which term there
will be no jury trials He will also
request the supreme court to call
special term to be held at Pryor Creek
in Mayes county in June, after the
close of the regular May term at Vim
ita At this special term at Pryor
Creek a jury will be called for trial
work. This will be done owing to the
fact that unless Mayes county has a
special term in June they will miss
their regular spring term which should
convene the third Monday in March.
Judge Davis says that he shall do
everything in his power to clear up his
dockets and keep up with the court
work in his district
Judge Davis has requested the SUI
preme court to set a special session
of the district court for Craig county,
at Yinita, beginning the second Mon
day in April at which term there will
be no jury but pleadings will be heard
and court matters determined. He
has also requested the supreme court
to call a special session of the district
court for Mayes county, at Pryor Creek
beginning the third Monday in June at
which term a jury will be called and

had
Judge Davis viii open court at Mi

the country preacher is the chief spirit

If Christian faith is to be preserved
in its pristine purity it must be done
very largely by the country preacher.
Certainly many Of the high-salaried
sensatonalists in the city pulpits never
think nowadays of preaching Christ
and Him crucifed They wander far
into sociological and economic paths,
but they bear no semblance to the
meek and lowly Nazarene. OF course.
not all urban preachers are Of this
