Farmers' champion. (Elgin, Okla.) 1912-1922, 1913-02-27

Before another issue Of this
paper, the United States of
America will have been blessed
by the inauguration of a pro-
gressive statesman as President,
and we will have entered a new
era in governmental affairs for
the uplift and betterment of the
great common people. when the
words expressed in a fair deal"
will cease to be a farce and a
humbug. If we are not very
much mistaken. from that time
on commercial vampires and po-
litical pirates will go away back
and sit dow" so far as having
any more influence in this land
Of heroes and will-be home of the
free. Notwithstanding President
Wilson will take hold of the
helm OF the ship State amidst
perilous times, when Intervention
in the name of humanity may
be absolutely necessary in bar.
barious Mexico, we believe that
he and his Cabinet, which he
will have so wisely chosen, will
be equal to the emergency, to the
satisfaction and admiration of the
entire civilized world.
Great preparations are being
made for the Inauguration of The
incoming President on Tuesday
next. While the ceremonies
have been trimmed and prunec
to harmonic with the democrat
ic simplicity Of the new Presi
dent, they will be grandly NOR,
impressive than ever before. I
Ia expected that at least on,
hundred and fifty :housan,
people from all over the Uni.e,
States will be in Washington OF
that day. thousands of whom
will never catch a glimps of III
imposing ceremonies.

II Nod Why Not?

gestions 10 the more enterprIsing
and progressive citizens Of this
community. This is an agricui-
tural country. and the growth
and future Of Elgin largely de-
pends upon the prosperity of the
farmers. The more a farmer
raises the more he has to sell.
which correspondingIy creates a
market. and enables the pro-
Queer to buy proportionally more.
Therefore the interests OF the
farmers, bankers, merchants.
gins, elevators. hotels, restaur-
ants, mechanics, doctors. bar
bers. newspaper and towns
people generally are almost iden-
teal. This being the case, why
should they not all work. pull
and push togather for the CON-
mon good Of all? Yes. if not,
why not?
This is a progressive age. and
in no field of the sciences has
there been greater discoveries
and advancement than in that
of agriculture. II has been
well demonstrated that several
blades of grass can be made
grow where but one grew before:
but, as yet. a very small per cent
Of the farmers have learned how
it is done. Most of them are
farming as their great grand
fathers did. with scarcely any
signs of improvement. While
but a very small per cent of
these are from Missouri, we be-
lieve they are not only perfectly
willing but anxious to be
shown"
A few years ago if some one
had suggested that-farmers gen.
orally could and would within
that generation raise the average
yield Of corn per acre to seventy,
eighty and ninety bushels, there
were but few but what would
have thought the suggestion was
made at the expense of the au-
thor's intelligence. But what
has been done can be duplicated
under the same natural conditions
and artificial methods. This no
one is stupid enough to deny.
The United States Government,
through its Department of Ag-
riculture and the various agri-
cultural colleges and experiment
stations have clearly established
the fact that this is within the
range of near probabilities. And
what is true with corn is also
true with cotton, wheat, and all
other agricultural, as well horti-
cultural products. These facts
are so abundantly proven and
the possibilities so promising That
thinking men Of all classes have
been attracted and interested,
until there is a general move
ment in this direction every
where. Some communities have
adopted the plan OF employing ar
expert to instruct them in Sc
curing the greatest results, anc
it is proving a money-makinf
investment wherever tried. Tht
Government and the States ar,
establishing small demonstration
farms all over the country t
show the surrounding farmer
how such increased yields arr
produced. The great railwa,
systems have become interested
to such an extent that they ar
running demonstration train
throughout the entire length o
their lines; and the Frisco Sys
tenn has gone so far as to organ

them many fold. They know
that an increased yield of agri-
cultural and horticultural pro-
duets will CORES pondingiy in
crease their business.
Now what we especially wish
to suggest at this time is this:
In the face Of all the above facts
and the great financial possibili-
ties with which they are soheavily
loaded. would it not be a wise
plan for the citizens of Elgin and
the farmers Of the surrounding
country to come togather and
form an organization for the
purpose of working togather for
the realization of these great
possibilities? Two men can
do but little. and one man can
do but less; but where a COM
munity pull all togather for their
common good in an organized
form, wonders can be accomp-
lished. In union there is
strength.
Now it devolves upon some one
to take the iniative in a move
ment Of this kind, and we here
and now suggest that a mass
meeting of the entire community
be called in the very near future
for the purpose we have here
recommended. The earlier the
better, as through a proper or
ganized form we can secure bet
ter seed for our spring and sum-
mer crops, as well as many other
advants ).
We viii be please to have any
one express their views on
this all important subject, either
through the columns of the
CHAMPION, or by making US a
friendly call to talk the matter
over. Come, now let's get busy.
Chronic grumblers and knockers
are excused. Our time is too
valuable to waste with them.

J. Roy Williams Makes Good

J. Roy Williams, Representa-
tive for Comanche and Gotten
counties, is much talked of just
now as a possible candidate for
State Treasurer in 1914. Mr..
Williams is not giving the idea
the least encouragement. and is
saying quite a few things to dis
courage it. Two or more things,
or rather conditions, are in the
way, he thinks. For one thing, he
claims he is not financially able
to make a Statewide campaign.
So far as the possession Of world
ly goods he has a few thousand,
and that is all. Another thing,
Williams has several friends in
this part of the State whose in
terests he wishes to promote.
and this part of the State is
pretty well represented by
officials now, Lawton being the
home of Senator Gore and Con-
gressman Ferris. Then at Law
ton lives State Senator j. Elmer
/ Thomas. whom many think large
enough to be Governor. Williams
is at all times true to his friends.
among whom Gore, Ferris and
Thomas hold high rank.
1t may be remarked in passing
that though defeated in the re-
cent contest for Speaker Of the
House, the contest made many
friends for Williams, and he has
made many more since the con-
test was decided. He did not
sulk in his tent for one moment
after the fight, but at once got
busy with the legislative work,
and has ever since been one OF
the hardest and most efficient
workers in the House. Cache
