Mexico aud the district along the bor-

violence, devastation and suffering, in

"Out Of $4,000 Americans who lived
there two years ago. said Mr.. Red

INCREASING ouR KAFlR AcREAnr

INCREASING OUR KAFfR ACREAGE
Oklahoma raised fine crop of corn
this year which win sell for sood
many million dollars. The corn grow.
ers Of our state should not get excited
however and increase their acreage
for the records of Oklahoma show that
we cannot raise corn crop every year
Corn is fascinating crop. when
fed to livestock, the owner of the corn
and livestock gets big dividends. The
money comes easy and it comes quick.
( II we had some kind Of guarantee that
corn would produce abundantly each
year, then there should be stampede
to corn.
The experts tell us that corn is An
uncertain crop in this state. On the
bottom farms and in those parts of the
state where the rainfall is distributed
properly the raising of corn can be
made successful But there are many
parts of the state where tremendous
risk is taken in trying to raise corn
In such portions, farmers are PLAYING
with fire in planting large areas Of
corn
A farmer of Major county reports
that about half of the land in his
vicinity was planted to kafir last
spring and that full crop is being
harvested to feed the livestock this
winter. 1t is his prediction that three.
fourths of the land in his community
will be planted to kafir in the spring
of 1918.
The planting of that much kafir in
Major county will make that section
contented one.
There will be no worry.
Drouth will have no terrors.
The expert agriculturalists who
write for The Farmer-Stockman the
farm paper which is published In con-
nection with The Oklahoman. have
been continuously preaching for the
of more kafir. They urge
that an acre of kafir be planted for
every acre of corn that is planted. If
the corn is lost, the kafir will not be
lost. The result will be at least half
a crop.
But why be contented with half a
crop?
Why not plant two acres of kafir to
one of corn?
Why gamble with nature?
Oklahoma should have a few mill
lion acres more of kafr in 1913 than
were planted in 1912.
It will make it possible to increase
The livestock industry.
1t is to livestock that Oklahoma must
ook for her future wealth.
Plant more kafr and raise more
livestock. Then there can be no such
hing as crop failure in Oklahoma
