COOPERATIVE THRESHERS.
Such Ownership of Grain Savers
Would Mean More Wheat.

Secretary n. II. Mccoy of the Ard
more Comercal club states that he
is thinking seriously OF taking up
with the people of the different sec
tions of this county the advisability
of forming cooperative threshing
companies with a view OF increasing
the acreage of small grain sown an
nually.
Mr.. Mccoy says that in one county
in Texas, where the people have be-
come tired of breaking their backs
in the endless grind of the cotton
growing industry, but have been kept
from the raising of more wheat and
oats on account of the lack of thresh-
ing machines wherewith to enable
them TO properly save these crops
after the same have been raised, in
this county twenty six of the repre-
sentative farmers formed themselves
into a cooperative company and,
contributing one hundred dollars each
bought a complete and up-to- date
steam thresher and engine all com
plete.
Having thus provided themselves
with a means of saving their crops
of wheat and oats, these twenty-siX
men sowed large acreage of these
two grains and Mr.. Mccoy says they
have just completed the threshing of
over eighty thousand bushels of their
own raising, besides the grain which
a few of their neighbors We're in
duced to raise on the strength OF
having a machine in the community
when needed to do the threshing.
What was done in this Texas COM
munity, the commercial club sec
retary thinks could be done here.
There is not, he thinks, a better
adapated section for the growing of
both oats and wheat than is to be
found in Carter county. The soil
here is very productive, and late
sowing of the wheat crop will keep
back a too prolific growth early in
the season, thereby lessening the
danger of it's being killed by heavy
frosts after the stalks have "joint-
ed,' while the spring rains and the
season, much earlier than that of the
counties on the Kansas border where
wheat is now the great crop, will
make the crop before the danger or
midsummer drouth will affect it.
More wheat and less cotton, the
gentleman thinks, as does many 9TH
ers, will mean more prosperity with
less killing labor
