 Pointing out that the prices of food stufTs are likely to be high, the Sec retary suggests that the cotton acre. age be devoted to the raising of grain at least for home consumption. Grow CTS might also. he says, increase their production of chickens, poultry and hogs. He adds that with proper at tention to marketing the Southern farmers "can profitably produce these things for interstate shipment" He advises against any attempts to pro- duce beef cattle on a large scale.
 This letter was sent out in response to numerous requests that the Secre- tary obtain pledges from cotton grow. CTS to reduce the cotton acreage.

OBSERVATIONS BY THE
WAYSlDE IN GRADY COUNTY

My first journey into the country
was in the vicinity and south of Brad
ley. Crops in that part of the country
are in q flourishing condition. Cotton
seems to be a little late, but otherwise
it is doing splendidly. Some especial
ly good fields of cotton were seen.
Urban Hamilton says that he will ac-
tually make enough off OF twenty-five
acres to support himself and one other
person. Perhaps the best all around
crop was seen on the place farmed by
f. M. Huffman and son. Mr.. Huff
man is a man who knows how to farm
successfully. He says the great secret
OF successful farming is to plow the
soil deep before planting.
This community is a progressive
state in spite Of the many things that
Ietard its progress. The one indis-
putable thing that this community
stands in need of is better system of
roads. The roads are in deplorable
condition. Often the roads that are
open are not worked and remain all
most impossible. But even a greater
drawback is the failure to open the
section lines. One man after arriving
within one hundred yards of his home
was compelled to drive one mile be-
fore he is able to get to his home
These conditions must be remedied
and our next legislature should give
us better road law.
The second expedition into the coun-
try was from Verden south to Rocky
Ford and Rush Springs. Crops in this
part Of the country are, as a rule, be-
hind those in the east and north part
of the county But near Rush Springs
are some very fine crops. We had
the pleasure Of staying one evening
with the champion corn grower of
Oklahoma. Master Ebert Cast. Ell
bert is a fine appearing boy and has
made good. He made a little over one
hundred bushels per acre last year and
some say he had a good chance of
making one hundred and fifty bushels
per acre this year. But Elbert is not
by himself this year; his cousin, Olin
Cast, is doing his best to beat last
years champion. Olin's crop is in al
most perfect. condition and the one who
beats him viii he going some. John

coIors of Music.

There has Just been installed at
Queens hall in London a color organ
for representing musical effects in
terms of colored lights thrown upon
a screen, which has been designed ex-
pressly for the deaf. Each note played
produces a corresponding color, and
the color combinations are said to
cause the same delight to the deaf
ear as the harmonious sounds of
composition do to the normal ear. The
organ was devised by Prof. Wallace
Rimington, and among those who have
become very much interested in the
project is M. Alexander Sciabin, Rus
sian composer, who has achieved
foremost position in European musical
circles
