In addressing the oklahoma state
Development conferences assem-
blage in Tulsa Thursday Walter J..
English, supervisor Of agriculture
for the ST. Louis 4 san Francisco.
speaking on the subject "Dry Land
Farming in oklahoma" said:
MIR. WALTER l.. ENGLISH.
am going TO change my subject
n little bit and talk for a few min
utes on "Oklahoma as a Field for
Dry Farming" because | think, per-
haps, We will have more to say on
that subject than to tell what Okla
homa has done along dry earning
lines,
Both eastern and western Okla
homa are represented here today in
an endeavor TO organize a movement
for the entire state; ono just as much
interested as the other in making It
a great success. II took some years
of bitter experience for Oklahoma
farmers to discover that we were
going 10 meet periods Of reverses Of
various kinds, especially those
brought on by scant rainfall or lack
Of moisture. 1t was necessary that
they have these experiences: | be-
lieVe 1t was best for them. be-
lleve that the present financial de-
preston, caused by recent failures,
when it has been overcome by better
farming methods and better produc-
tion In years to come, will have served
a good purpose. l believe we will
be glad that our attention was for
tbly brought to consider the ne
cessity OF systematic cultivation and
to the understanding that crop pro-
duction IS a matter rather uncertain,
and that our experiences, though
bitter, will prove a blessing in dis
gulse. ! know It has been hard;
hope they will not be forgotten. I
hope that you men who are here to-
day will remember, when better sue
cess attends your efforts, and con-
ditions are more favorable, the con
ditions and experiences of less sue
cessful years, and will not allow the
lesson to go by unheeded, and feel
that We will not have the same con-
ditions to face again that We have
to pass through only in recent years;
that the dry period which has been
experienced will not come upon us
again; that a change has taken place

George e. Brett: The Consumers

a municipal plant owned by the city
can possibly do Owing to the cheap
ness of water power and plant al

great corporation like the Consum-

dozed into making concessions. There
must be spirit of fairness on both
sides. Our gas is too high and l
should be very glad if we could Sc
cure lower rates for both gas and

hope will make a liberal concession
in these two most important items.

Should Take More Time.
DR.. A. F. Schmidt | think that it
is the business of the council and
the Commercial club lighting COM
mittee to take sufficient time to in
vestigate this question thoroughly
before plunging the city in any large
Indebtedness. I feel that not suffi-
cient investigation has been made
upon which to base an intelligent rec
ommendation to the council
Charles Wagon, Jr.!: l do not think
that anyone is in favor of munich
pal lighting plant if we cannot do
any where nearly as well as we are
now doing with the Consumers Pow
er company.
J. C. Thro: If we can't save any
money by building a municipal plant,
what is the use of going into it? l
do not think that it is good bust
ness, if we do not save money by
so doing.
Opinion of C. H. SauIpaugh.
c. H. Saulpaugh: | am not in favor
of building a municipal plant which
will furnish light for the city only,
and if we cannot build plant
which will furnish light for both the
private consumers and the city as
well, and do it cheaper than it is
being done now, | do not see the ad-
visibility of building sucl a plant.
A. NJ. Klages:> l am lin a hurry
now to get away to go Ito the gro
GERS picnic, and haven't time to dis
cuss the matter at pre3ent. | will
let you know later.
Sivert Olson was out of town and
could not be reached td get an opin-
ion on the matter from him.
Company Has invested Literally.
w. w. Davis. cashier of Mankato
Savings bank: The present lighting
company has invested very heavily
In our immediate vicinity and should
have fair consideration believe
that they will make firther conces-
sions. I do not believf our city is
ready to expend tho very large
amount required to install munich
pal plant. Whether wd have a lower
price on gas or not, We should GER
tainly have a better duality.
AL. Wysong: | am not in favor of
building municipal plant, because 1
do not see how city can furnish
electricity any chea,er than anyone
else.
F. w. Force: 1t seems to me that
the Consumers Power company is
giving the people reasonable rates
as compared with those in other
cities. | can see 10 great demand
for a municipal pant. We need
protection against fife more than we
do a municipal lighting plant and al
SO new city hall one that is. at
leas sanitary.
Would Want to Know Expense.

but | am free to say this, that l
would want more lisht on the sub
ject before l would are to say that
