GREAT YEAR
FOR OKLAHOMA
Governor Cruce Lauds the State at =
Banquet OF kansas City
Business Men

"In these times Of rumored money
stringency and financial distress in
the East | want to say that Oklahoma
is not i'm the least discouraged. The
hot weather has done us some damage
to be sure, but, listen, Oklahoma will
get more money for her crops in l5tS
than in any year in ber history"
In an address before the 100000
Club" OF tho Kansas City Life Insur-
anoe Company at the Hotel Baltimore
in Kansas City last Friday night, Gov
ernor Cruce Of Oklahoma thus herald
ed abroad the PROSPEROUS condition of
his state, The banquet closed the
fourth annual convention Of the
"slO0 900 Club" Governor Hodges of
Kansas and aovernor Major of Mis-
souri, guests at the banquet, spoke in
similar vein of conditions in their
states, ssg~7 :
Down in Oklahoma" continued
Governor Cruce, 1--WE do not have to
fdepend alone on our crops. Our oil
this year will bring more than $780,
100000 into the state. We have the
best asphalt in the country and
enough of 1t to pave all the streets in
the civilized world. Our natural gas
helps to keep the cities in three states
comfortable during the icy blasts of
winter. And We have coal in abun-
dance. Crops are growing today on
leased lands which alone is one Of the
biggest items of prosperity in the
state" (
The governor said that the wheat
and oaB crops Of the state, taken as
whole, are above the average. In
some parts corn was not successful.
he said, but in the central portion of
the state alone more corn will be
raised than is needed for home con-
sumption. He spoke of kafir corn and
mile maize as two sure forage crops
which will be the largest the staue
ever raised and which are being en-
couraged because of their hardy ma
ture. Three-fourths of the state lies
in the best cotton beld in the world,
the governor said, and more acreage
and a better stand exists now than
ever before
Nothing short of a disaster will
prevent our cotton lint and seed from
bringing at least $100,000,00O," said
the governor This is the one sure
money crop of Oklahoma. Our agri-
cultural crop, taken as a whole, will
yield more than an average. Our pro-
duction of oil is on the increase; it
is bringing increased prices and the
developed territory constantly is being
extended. We will market at least L.
100000 barrels, which will bring back
the $100,000Q00 | referred to. The fl
nancial standing of the state is in bet
ter condition than ever before and 10
use a very common expression Of to-
day I guess Oklahoma should worry"
Governor Cruce said that 152 life in
surance companies IN Oklahoma last
year wrote SI15,OO0,OOO in business
and that the Kansas City Life COM
pany led all of them in amount Of
business.
81 believe" he said in closing, that
life insurance is the greatest boon to
mankind today, the one great factor
which will bring about the brother
hood OF man."

OKLAHOMA FARM NOTES
@ . @
From Oklahoma Farmer.

It's good idea to have a feeding
floor for your hogs either oW OF
boards orjcement. It saves lots Of feed
during wet weather, and during dry
weather the hogs don't have to get
their lungs and stomach full Of dirt.
It's especially essential to have good
floor IL you feed small grain such as
kafir and milo.

their late milo or cowpeas they have
not the time and keep putting it off
until the moisture is all gone again.
