There was once a man who had
a mean, grasping disposition and
on hundred million dollars. Not
outstanding his great wealth, he
was not satisfied, but used to lie
awake nights, depriving himself
Of much needed rest, in order to
think up new and original ways
Of getting the better of people.
One day he found it necessary to
ELL a certain position in his Office,
but the man he selected was some
thin gof a grasper himself, so when
the question of salary arose, a diff

the man thought that his services
were worth more than they really

Every door was locked. The old

FARM POSSIBILITIES.

The record made by Oklahoma az
the dry farming at Colorado Springs
is convincing evidence Of the possi-
bilities of this state in the industry
of agriculture. Notwithstanding two
years Of drouth and the hot winds of
two summers, Oklahoma captured
twenty-four out of the twenty-eight
first prizes and wheat grown in Gar
field county won the premiums for
the best bushel of the 1911 crop of
hard wheat This wheat was grown
under conditions as unfayorable as
they are ever likely to be. Less than
ten inches of rain fell from the time
this wheat was planted until it was
harvested But for a day of hot
winds just as the wheat was matur
ing the yield would have been at
least thirty bushels to the acre in.
stead of eighteen
When we can produce eighteen
bushels OF wheat of the first quality
with less than ten inches Of rain and
In spite Of hot winds. The farm here
ought to be an absolutely reliable
source OF production. 1t will be when
farmers learn to apply up-to-date sci
entific methods. The same sorts OF
care exercised in the case Of this par
ticular crop of wheat throughout the
country would have more than doubl-
ed Garfield county's wheat yield last
year.
The most important task before this
state today is to induce her farmers
