WALTER COLBERT
.ERECTS STEEL S|LO
PROGRESSIVE FARMER OF THIS
COUNTY THINKS EVERY FARM
Err SHOULD HAVE ONE.

Walter Colbert who lives just west
of the city is erecting a 150-ton steel
silo on his farm which is nearing
completion and so well pleased is Mr..
Colbert with the job that he is advis-
ing his friends and neighbors to do
likewises. There are many good rea-
sons why every farmer should own a
silo according 10 a statement of Mr..
Colbert, but principally because it is
a shortcut to profit, stops feeding
leaks on the farm and takes a cheap
crop and converts it into rich sue
culent feed that pays big interest
on the investment. This Is proven by
facts and figures taken from the rec
ords of experiment stations and from
all classes of farmers and feeders
where the silo has been in use for
years.
The silo assists the farmer to re-
duce the cost of production OF the va
rious products of his farm in changing
his loss to gain, by enabling him to

Oil Men Surprised.

Visitors to the oil fields from
other cities as well as the people
of Ardmore, have given The Ard
morete credit for being COnserva-
tive in its oil reports. One disting-
uished man said the press had new
er told half of the greatness of the
field. another said he had always
thought local papers boosted their
propositions, and when he visited
the fields he was surprised at what
he saw. The field has reached that
point of development now where the
seasoned oil men are beginning to
predict that it will be the greatest
field in Oklahoma. That statement
means much when it is known that
the Glenn Pool gave up more oil
than any other similar area in the
world and the llealdton field today
promises to eclipse the Glenn Pool.
That Is not an Oyerdrawn statement.
SO far none of the wells have been
drilled to a deep sand Every geol-
ogist as well as the oil men, believe
that at a depth of from 1000 to
1900 feet deeper sand more
regular sand and more prolific
sand will be found The shallow
wells have been so satisfactory, the
drilling has been so rushed on ac-
count of the demand for offsets that
no one so far has been tempted to
drill for a deeper test. one we'll
came in yesterday that made an
initial production Of fifty barrels an
hour and another well was drilled
in on the same day that had an in
itial production of twice that amount

been in all the fields said the larg-
er we'll brought in yesterday is worth
100000 and a nice little fortune on
top of that, 1t is not unreasonable
to believe that the stock of the
Geneva Pearl company is worth 80
to |. Few opportunities come in
"A lifetime where $1,000 can be in
vested and $4,000 be made, but
that opportunity has come to in
vestors in the Healdton field. One
man invested $l75 and was offered
$4,000 for his holdings. He sold
half of it at that figure and was
then offered more than that for the
remainder OF his stock.
There is more enthusiasm in the
field today than ever before. The
drill has proven that vast pool
Of oil has been found That pool
promises to be the largest oil pool
in the world and while the field
already covers a fair area, its limits
have not been defined
A representative of one of the
largest oil concerns in the United
States was here today and made
propositions to make purchases Of
large producing holdings. He made
no purchases because owners would
not offer to sell at any price.
The production has gone beyond
the capacity of the pipe line and
Ardmore producers are preparing to
do as they are doing at Cushing.
They will install steel storage tanks
to care for the oil until such time
as a market can be provided for it, |
Steel storage tanks are now in
transit to Ardmore to be erected in
the field. The producers say they
will not quit drilling, that they will
NOT shut in their wells and that they
will not waste their oil
The oil field is now known to be
one of the largest If not the largest
in the world. and Ardmore prop
erty is climbing rapidly in price. |

Governor Cruce is after the pipe

powers in the state to compel the
company to provide better pipe
line service to the field. a. c. Cruce,
a brother of the governor, is attor-

c. Cruce was here yesterday en-

that he is urging the company to

utilize what he is now losing and
what he can not save in any other
way. Forty per cent OF the feeding
value of the corn crop is in the stalk
and sixty per cent in the ear. This
forty cents on the dollar goes to waste
in the field, and sixty per cent on the
dollar is placed in the crib. The corn
stalks left in the field are worth SOC
to S1.OO an acre. The same corn
stalks in the Silo are worth S14.00 an
acre, when corn is worth $210O, or a
ratio of two-fifths and three-fifths. The
best results that can be obtained from
the stalks in the shock is 25 per cent
of their feeding value. Therefore, it
takes four times as much in the shock
as it would be necessary to have in
The Silo to get the same results, and
the longer the stalks remain in the
shock the more they lose of their feed
ing value, while those remaining in
the silo lose none of their nutrition
even though the silage be retained for
a period of years.
Quite a number of silos were erect
ed in Carter county last season, and
a good many progressive farmers
have stated that they were going to
build this season. There are several
kinds of silos on the market, and
they are all good. The silo is no long.

Her life was short, but fragrant,
fragrant in deeds of devotion, in
deeds of love, and sunshine. And
because we shall see her frail form

County Democratic Convention

The county Democratic conven.
tion met Monday with loosdelegates
present, all of the 90 clubs being
fully represented. The convention
was formally organized BY the cleo
tion of B. f. Nicholson as presi,
dent and J. L. Minis and S. ]. Wat
son secretaries. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing S. T. Carter,
State treasurer, and !. E. Swearin-
gen. State superintendent OF educa-
tion. and ~commending them for
their faitEfulness as servants of the
people. The following delegates
were elected to the State conven-
tion: B. E. Nicholson, !. A. Lott,
]. II. Allen. B. K. Tlllman, B. D.
lIitchines AID !. P. DeLaughter.
The Edgefeid delegation was in.
:,ructed to vote as a unit in lh4
state convention. A. K. Padgett
was elected a member OF the State
executive committee.
The length Of the supervisors
term of office. Whether two or four
years, was generally discussed and
the sentiment Of the convention was
strongly in favor Of making the
term four years. Supervisor A. A.
Edmunds was present and gave his
reasons for conteGding for four
years, reading letters from the at
tornoy general giving the law bear
ny upon the matter. While no
definite action was taken by the
convention relative to placing this
office in the primary it is practical
)y certain that there will be no cleo
tion for county supervisor until
1916. Mr.. Edmunds will hold the
Office for two more years. In this
connection it is but proper to state
that the law fixes the term of office
for the comfy commissioners the
same as that for supervisor, their
term then being four years III this
county.
The convention was altogether
harmonious. Immediately after the
convention adjourned a meeting Of
the executive committee was held,
being presided over by g. Z. Mich
olson, the county chairman, W. Z.
Lott was elected secretary and A.
E. Padgett treasurer. The office
of magistrate was placed in the pri-
mary and 4 resolution adopted to
the effect that no ballots will be
counted in thesprimary for magis-
trate unless cast in the district in
which the voter resides. Ballots
for magistrate must also he cast in
separate box. A subsequent meet
ing Of the executive committee will
be called to arrange the campaign
meetings, fix the assessments of
candidates and appoint the election
managers.
