Great Writer'S Brilliant Idea to Com

Ia a village in the heart Of Touraine
there lives an old man whose pride It
is that he once had the honor Of ma
king a pair of trousers for Balsac.
Tie old tailor delights to tell Of his
meeting with the distinguished French
man, Harper's Weekly says.
When the tailor got to the chateau
where Balzac was staying he found
him in the garden at york on a novel.
He was 80 busy that the tailor waited
in silence. Many sheets Of paper.
covered with flne writing, lay around
him. He would write spell. then
stare wildly about, and then 60 at It
again as If he knew that world was
waiting for his words.
After standing near and watching
the great man while the tailor at
last felt that he must interrupt Bal
FAC in order to get his measure for
the trousers. Balzac was extremely
good-natured; smiled as the tailor
measured him, but spoke but once.
NO feet" said he, as the tailor IN
ished his measurements. Then ~
turned to his work. i: ..s .
The worthy tailor had no idea u
all what this meant, but for some
reason he had not courage enough to
interrupt the novelist again to ask

Balzac wants his trousers made with
out any openings at the bottom, "
that he can sit and write without hAv

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-09-17

At its session Tuesday morning the
Ardmore Commercial Club heard a
report from Secretary Mccoy on the
proposition to obtain stock hoks for
this section of the state. The Okla
homa National Stockyards Company
of Oklahoma City states in letter
that stock hogs are very scarce, but
adds that that is a better reason why
Oklahoma should double its energies
to obtain them. Those pigs will cost
about &c a pound delivered. Tha1
means that a pig of 80 pounds weight
delivered at Ardmore will cost $3.50.
The Commercial Club wants the
name of every farmer who wants TO
buy some of these pigs. 1t also wants
to know how many each farmer will
buy. ]. B. Boone has agreed to loan
farmers money to invest in the pigs
in instances where the farmer has
not the cash to put into them. Sec
retary Mccoy is now in correspond
ence with the Fort Worth stock yards
to ascertain if a better price can be
had there The hogs will be bought as
cheaply as possible, as good a grade
as can be secured will be purchased
and the handling of the deal will be

CARTER COUNTY FROM AN
AGR|CU[T TURAL STANDPOINT

Carter county has taken more in
terest in agriculture the past two
years than it has ever taken before.
The Commercial club has been more
active in aiding the farmers than
formerly. Farmers have attended
the institutes, they have grown a
greater variety of crops. The dis
play of this county at the Oklahoma
State Fair this fall will be 100 per
cent better than it has ever had
before. Dry weather during the first
part of June and again during the
latter part of July cut the corn
crop somewhat short but with the
big crop of cane, kaffir and milo the
county will be able to spare some
corn and already farmers are Offer
ing corn for sale. The cotton acre
age is smaller than it was last year
but the number of bales will be
equal to last years production and
the cotton men believe the county
will raise 5000 more bales than it
did in 1911. The fruit crop this
year was by far the largest ever
grown here. Encouraged by six
crops of peaches in succession the
farmers will add several hundred
acres this fall to the peach acreage.
The dry hot year of 1911 demon
trated that alfalfa can be grown here
in paying quantities even on the
uplands and year after year the al
falfa acreage is made larger. This
has never been considered a wheat
country but the fall rains last year
and the need of winter pasturage
encouraged wheat growing and the
acreage was doubled over the for

mer year. The yield was so salts
factory that much larger acreage
will be planted this year The dairy
ing business is also being encour-
aged in this portion OF the state.
Ardmore has two creamery plants
and they depend upon the cream
shipped to them. One banker is
now dealing in Jersey cows to get
their distribution over the territory
tribuarty to Ardmore and the Com
mercial club will give Jersey COWS
as agricultural premiums instead Of
giving wagons and harness as it did
last year. The fall rains have been
abundant this year, all late crops
are maturing well and the land is in
fine condition for blowing and for
fall sowing. The sandy land sec
tons of this county grow from 100
to $50 bushels of sweet potatoes to
The acre and the potato crop is
much larger this year. Carter coun-
ty has taken the lead in the organ
ization of canning clubs and beans,
corn, potatoes, pumpkins and fruits
have been canned this year and
the farmer is living at home. There
is a scarcity of hogs due to the
lack of a grain crop last year but
the Commercial club is cooperating
with the farmers in placing stock
hogs in the country and that diff
Guilty will soon be removed.
Carter county is in excellent shape
and the dry year of 1911 has taught
us some lessons which have been
applied and the people are better
equipped in knowledge to make a
success of agriculture.
