Raising Peanuts in
Oklahoma

Oklahoma leads all other states in
the raising of peanuts The market
is so good for them that an acre of
ground will produce from $36 to
S45 worth. Hogs fed on peanuts
bring higher prices than any other
on the market.
The government has just issued a
bulletin entitled "The Peanut" a
book of thirty-nine pages in which
the department of agriculture gives
all the information It has on the
subject. According to this bulletin
the average yield is thirty-four bush
els to the acre, but by proper cult
vation as much as sixty bushels can
be produced.
Guber peas, as they used to be
called, are supposed 10 have been
brought into this country from trop-
ical America. They grow best in
sandy soil, require a long season
free from frost, plenty of sunshine
and light rainfalls during growth.
Nearly all sections of Oklahoma
are suitable for culture.

United States Moved
the Indians From
the South to In
dian Territory.

The Indian Territory side, the east
ern part of the forty-siXth state, was
purchased from France, 9S years ago,
in 1903 as a part of the Louisiana
purchase" which Napoleon was the
emperor of France, and while that
country was in need of funds. The
government of the United States,
to rid the southern states Of Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Florida and Geor-
gia of the Indians in that territory
gave them a,lotments in the newly
acquired land of the Louisiana pur-
chase" and named the territory In
dian Territory. In it were the ma
tons of the five civilized tribes,
Seminoles, Choctaws. Creeks, Cher
okees and Chickasaws. They came
to Indian Territory about 70 or so
years ago.
Oklahoma, the western part of the
now state of Oklahma, was part
of the Texas land acquisition from
the MeXicans. In 1923 Thomas f.
Austin left with a party OF home
seekers from Maryland and traveIed
around the coast, and through the
straits in Gulf of Mexico, through
which La Sale had passed one cen
tury before, and finally up the Bra
zos river, in Texas. Here they set
tied and formed a settlement that
is now Austin, capital of Texas.
In 1888 trouble with Mexico broke
out. and the land did not come into
the United States unt1l 1915, nine
years after it had been an independ-
ent territory. The part OF the state
of Oklahoma which was Oklahoma
before the joining of the two states,
was given to the government in
| 1850.
Now the state, with seven rivers
running to the Father of Waters,
small mountains, enough to lend a
beautiful touch to the scenery, broad
fields, a climate such as is not found
anywhere else in the United States,
with only two months of winter, and
ten months to work out doors, with
from % to As inches of rain a year,
one that is up with the leaders in
the production of the important crops
has a population of more than 1,700,-
600.

instruction and today Carter county
has, to its age, more good schools
than any other county in the known
world. In some instances houses OF
such nature has been built that they
have proved burdensome, yet this was
brought about by the tax injunctions
against indian lands and the state has
about outgrown those conditions to-
day and the school buildings stand as
monument to the progressive spirit
of the people of Garter county upon
their induction into statehood, and
to the genius of the board of county
commissioners much of the marvellous
success is attributable.
Under the guiding hand of Bob
Scivally Carter county in three years
time has passed from a roadless and
schoolless county to the best improv
ed county in the state. The county
has a $4,000 prison and magnificent
fireproof court house that Mas cost
$l25,OOO.
When the county commissioners oil
the state effected their state organi-
zation, Mr.. Sciyally was chosen sec
retary of the state organization and
he proved himself so valuable to the
organization that he was promoted to
the presidency AS the chairman OF
the legislative committee of that or
ganization he has been a power for
good in the state. His position placed
him where he was invaluable IN
knowing what laws were useful to
the state and his force before legis'
lative committees convinced them to
his way OF thinking. Never has the
legislature been in session that Mr..
Scivally was not called to the capitol
repeatedly and his advice sought up
on matters of legislation; the COVER
nor of the state frequently calls him
into conference and the plain man
that he is, yet. he is one of the great
est forces in the state.
Being the owner of about six thou
sand acres of agricultural lands and
making his livelihood upon the farm,
there his heart lies the closest and
he keeps thoroughly informed upon
the policies and work of the state
agricultural board and never fails to
attend all the state farmers meetings
where his logic never fails to appeal
to the men at the head of this depart
ment of the state.
Repeatedly urged to take a place in
the state senate he steadfastly declin-
ed for the reason that he had under
taken a work for his own county and
would not leave until the tasks begun
were finished.
Robert F. Scivally will continue to
grow stronger in the affairs of state
and the high office of governor Is not
beyond his attainments and his abil
ity. In leading his own county out
of chaos to the point of its high de-
velopment reached suggests that ''he
smote the rock of county resources
and abundant streams of revenue
burst forth, he touched the dead
corpse of public credit and it sprang
upon its feet"
The genius and executive ability he
displayed in the organization of this
county is genius of a greater order
than is required of the man to be
the governor of a state that is al
ready organized and needs only the
safe and sane friend of the people to
stand at the helm and guide the
ship of state.
What ever may be his ambition.
Robert F. Scivally will have a host
of friends in every county to help
him obtain it.

most citizens of the young state OF
Oklahoma, is the advancement made
in the past twenty years by Robert
F. Scivally of Springer. By dint OF
hard efforts Mr.. Scivally blazed his
own path in the new country to po-
! sition of usefulness and honor and
his career reflects the opportunities
that are offered the coura geous new
citizen of this country.
Born in Tennessee in 1864, trans
planted in Texas at the age of s and
moved to former Indian Territory in
| 1887, is the brief record of his moves.
He was an ardent worker for state
! hood legislation and when Oklahoma
was admitted to statehood, when the
counties were organized and the peo-
| pie of Carter county began to look
about for material to handle their first
administration, when men of courage
and brains were needed to take hold
of a county government and organize
and conduct it in creditable man
ner without a dollar in the treasury,
all eyes turned to Bob Scivally and
he was chosen. After serving for
period of three years SO unanimous
were the PEOPLE for him that the re
publican party declined to put out a
candidate against him and he was
chosen for the second county admin
istration. He was elected by the
board as its chairman and has held
that position since statehood. When
Mr.. Scivally is congratulated upon his
work, as he frequently is, his reply
invariably is: Give me only the
credit that is due me, remember that
| have had two of the county's best
citizens with me and remember too
that we could have done nothing had
not the people of our county respond
ed to our every call and assisted US
in every way possible. While have
done all | could do, yet the people are
entitled to the credit of building up
this matchless county"
Let the credit rest wherever it may,
this one thing is certain, that Car
ter county is the most progressive
county in the state. 1t has built more
than ninety steel bridges and more
than three hundred wooden bridges,
with convict labor supplemented by
the overpus of bridge bond money
more than 300 miles of ditched and
drained and graded county roads have
been built. The county has never
gone the limit allowed by the consti-
tuition on taxation, although for eigh-
teen months following statehood there
was not a dollar of taxes collected.
The tax rate has been held low but
never a court witness or any other
citizen of the county has ever done
a service for the county and returned
to his home without first having re
ceived in cash every dollar he had
earned. From the first day of the or
ganization of the county up to the
present time the county has been on
a cash basis and its scrip has never
floated about at a discount and no
laborer has been compelled to dis
count the price of his labor in order
to receive cash.
The board of county commissioners
has always extended hearty coopera-
! ton to the superintendent of public

JUST BEING HAPPY.

Just being happy
Is a fine thing to do;
Looking on the bright side,
Rather than the blue;
Sad or sunny muslng
Is largely in the choosing,
And just being happy
Is a brave work and true.
Just being happy
Helps other souls along;
Their burdens may be heavy
And they not strong;
And your own sky will tighten
If other skies you brighten
BY just being happy
With a heart full of song.
