Promulgating the pass word OF the

per it-inyiting the farmers to make
themselves at home in the new head
quarters, and handing out some timely
dope" on farm topics. 9. A. McNabb,
county farm agent, has sent circular
letter to his demonstrators and coop.
orators and the press OF the county.
Mr.. McNabb says:
"The office of the Grady County
Commercial and Farm Bureau has re-
Gently been moved to 326M Chickasha
avenue. opposite the Kress store. You
are respectfully urged to visit it when
ever in the city We have desk, sta
tionery, daily papers and a cool, com
Portable place to write or read. You
are welcome to the best we have at
all times. Get the habit of calling
there every time you come to town
lay your troubles before us and let us
help you iron them out
Cooperation is the password.
Keep 1t in mind.
Farm Exhibits.
Now is the time to select exhibits
OF grain in the straw. We want four
inch bundles of fine wheat, barley and
alfalfa for display in our office, for
county exhibit at state fair and at
Panama exposition. If Grady county
is TO be properly represented at San
Francisco in 1915, the exhibits must
be collected from the 1914 crops. Sc
lect about four inch bundles, tie them
in three places and hang them up
where they will be free from molesta-
ton. Bring them to our office the
first time you come to town or let me
know you have them and | will call.
Remember, please the watchword Is
Cooperation, and that means you are
to do all you can do towards bringing
about success to all interests without
sacrifice of your own. A community
will prosper only in proportion to each
individuals effort. The seven foolish
virgins, each Of whom depended on
the others to bring oil should be re
membered and darkness avoided.
Wheat and oat Stubble.
Are you going to disc the stubble
land and save the fine moisture now
there? Catch crops Of kaffir, sorghum,
cowpeas. milo or feterita will do fine
ii the moisture is saved. The feed will
come In mighty handy this fall and
winter. Peanuts will make good
crop to be hogged off if planted soon.
Wheat shouldn't follow wheat If you
are determined that 1t shall in this in
stance the stubble should be disced,
the land plowed and well worked down
as soon after harvest as possible
Clods do not make a seed bed. On
the other hand they are the means tc
certain failure OF the farmer who
does not recognize the Importance OF
conserving soil moisture when ne
has it.
Cultivation.
"The farmer who broke his land deep
" last fall or early winter, planted
high grade seed, cultivates frequently
and does not lay 1t by till the crop Is
made, will raise more and better corr
than the other fellow Watch it and
be convinced. The same thing is true
of cotton. Keep up the cultivation til
there are quite few open bols i
the weather is dry. The time Of yeai
is now here when we may expect
considerable falling off in rainfall
The farmers are to be commended fol
the good work done in this county this
summer. Weeds have been very trou
blesome and the weather such as t
keep the farmer out of the fields; We
for the most part, there are but few
| weeds to be seen in the cultivated
! fields. Where there are few weeds, !
is largely due to the fact that the farm
er has again undertaken to do NOR
than he can do Why not make a spe
cial effort to reduce the acreage pc
man to the point where the growing
crops may be given the care they mus
| have to eliminate the danger of losini
them and make a maximum yield7"
