CALL FOR MEETING

Dear Sir: We believe you Will agree
with us when we say that the time

personal interest in the farm products
OF Eastern Oklahoma, for whatever
benefits the man of the soil likewise
benefits every business man and land
owner.

first inform ourselves in scientific
farming methods, so that we may in
telligently cooperate and advise with
the farmer in getting the very best
and the very most from our lands

more lucrative and substantial bust
ness.
Eastern Oklahoma is blessed with
fertile lands, capable of producing bet
ter and more bountiful crops, if proper
ly selected, planted and cultivated.
Some of our farmers have demonstrate
ed this productive ability and why
should not all the farmers be as sue
cessful as the few? We but need to
become better informed by acquainting
ourselves with the adaptability of our
lands and in the growing of the var
ious crops.
In particular do we need informa-

us hear what the government experts
have to advise that may advise with
the farmers in obtaining the best fl
financial results.
