grounds that the dealers had already
purchased their stocks OF Fourth Of

10 them to adopt such a measure.
This year the shocking accident which

matter to public attention before the
dealers had made any preparations
for the Fourth and therefore no OBJ

TRUCK GROWING PROFITABLE.

u Is the experience Of farmers who
engage In truck growing that the bus
mess Ii much more profitable than
the raising OF the ordinary staple
crops. Grady county farmers who
have been raising watermelons have
realized handsome profits.
With a soil and climate such as we
have here, all sorts OF fruit and gar
den truck can be grown successfully
The only thing lacking Is system Of
marketing that will enable the grower
10 get all his products are worth.
Through the medium OF the Grady
County Truck Growers association,
that Is 10 be launched at meeting to
be held here Saturday, 1t Is hoped that
this difficulty will be overcome. Co
operative marketing is the only feas-
ible system and every farmer should
lend his influence toward the move.

With the county well organized,
there is every reason to believe that

The returns from truck growing come
at a time when the farmer Is needing
money to tide him over till the staple

IS another phase Of the industry which
adds to It's attractiyenesa.
The proposed association Is full o.

tional capital. have been able to get
most any old thing printed in the
Record. They would get the floor for
perhaps a minute. say few words
on some subject and then be given
permission to extend their remarks
in the Record"
It has been a great scheme. The
congressman who desired this kind OF
advertising, fixed up the copy for the
printers, carefully inserting the words

and the whole thing was printed and
the member would leave a nice list Of

Although crops were, e,above the aver
age last year with the exception Of
the corn crop, and prices We're good,
the fact remains that there Is room
for Improvement When we think
seriously how crops and live stock
may be MADE more profitable in 1911
than in 1910, many suggestions VIII
no doubt present themselves. Most Of
us need a more economical system Of
managing crops. We should apply
business methods to farming. Raise
more and better live stock on the
Oklahoma farms DO deeper plowing.
