FOR ANNIVERSARY
PICNIC NEXT
EFFORT TO BE MADE TO CELE-
BRATE ARDMORE'S BIRTHDAY
JULY 29TH. ID y

The picnic season is now in full
blast throughout the county and many
of the inland towns are entertaining
visitors with sports and something
good to eat. The country people do
not think that it should devolve upon
them TO furnish all the picnics this
year and some of the most prominent
farmers in the county are asking
what Ardmore is going to do about
big anniversary picnic the last of
this month.
James Talialepro, county commits
siCner of the Lone Grove district,
stated yesterday that he ha/ been
looking forward to something like
that for a long time and hoped the
citizens of the city would get to-
gether this month and have two
days picnic like they used to have
in days gone by before they were
as opulent as they are at present
and when it was harder to entertain
a crowd of people.
1t has been suggested that the
baseball association take charge OF
the affair and put on a picnic that
will make all previous efforts look
tame in comparison and they have
the matter under advisement at pres
ent. The Wichita Falls team will
be here for a series the 2Sth and
29th and this attraction alone would
draw an immense crowd from the
surrounding country. The CONNER
cial club is not in position, so it is
stated, to do much in this matter.
and without the assistance of the
business men of the city the picnic
will in all probability not be held.
In this event it puts it up to the
baseball association who can give
the picnic, furnish first class at
fractions for two days and make n
uice little profit on the side.

acres of this blue grass the breeding

During the last five years the calf

While the shrewd buyer and care
full feeder of beef cattle may secure
a profit from feeding cattle good, bad
or Indifferent that he may be able to
pick up about the country, 1t Is not
likely that he will succeed in even
turning off a load Of market topping
beeves from such stock. Cattle that
can be bought up about the country
are usually of the lower grades and
seldom return profit to their pro-
ducers, though, as stated before, the
man who buys them and finishes them
for the market may secure profit
from them. says writer in the Wis
consin Agriculturist. The man who
desires to turn off market topping
cattle or those coming close to the
top prices must breed and grow such
cattle himself.
Frank B. Beath of Corning, Iowa. is
one of the men in the beef business
who breeds and grows his cattle and
turns them off in the open market at
high figures. Every year for the past
five years he has fed out bunch Of
Hereford calves of his own raising

ford, beef specialist Of the Iowa Beef
Producers association, Mr.. Beath
said: I'VE used to feed older cattle

would have good feeders, even If we
had to raise them"
