chants and farmers have united to sus-
tain credit. In such cases farmers
have agreed to produce home sup
plies and do good farming, and bank
ers and merchants have limited ad-
vances by insisting that the farmers
must reduce the acreage in cotton to
make way for the necessary food
crops. A little of that same co-opera-
tion will help the whole cotton terri
tory next year. VIII our bankers and
merchants be co-operators?
The same general principles apply
to the tobacco crop. Make your plans
now to meet the situation. Diversif-
cation and the production of home
supplies is the only safe plan to fol
low.
Suggestions and instructions of all
of the subjects mentioned in this let
ter may be had on application by your
county agent, your agricultural col
lege, or the u. S. department of agri-
culture.
This letter will be followed by other
suggestions from time to time.

PROVE NCE

Provence, Okla, Sept. 2S.-Cooler
weather since the rains last week,
cotton picking is the order of the
day. The gin keeps busy humming
all day and until late at night.
Farmers are feeling blue over the
price of cotton, yet all are hoping for
better times ahead.
The members of the w. o. w. lodge
here met one day last week and
picked two bales of cotton for Mr..
Criswell. A few weeks ago he lost
little boy with typhoid fever. After
the funeral his wife and children
went on a visit to her relatives in
Texas, and in a few days two other
children were stricken with the same
disease, so Mr. Criswell has been alb
sent from his work for some time.
There is some sickness reported
in the community now.
Little Glen Rogers who has been
quite sick with typhoid fever, is do,
ing nicely at this writing.
There was singing Saturday night
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. r
Jones and Sunday night at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. ]. NJ Parliers. All re
port good singing and a pleasant time
at both places.
Mrs. DR.. Denham and Miss Jessie

GRAHAM

Graham, Okla, Sept. 2S-The
death angel visited the home OF
Frank Martin on the night of Sept
19 and carried away the spirit OF
his little boy. The remains were
buried at Graham Sunday.
Another fine rain visited this sec.
ton of the county last Sunday.
y. c. Rickets is building a new
hay barn. He is preparing to raise
a lot of fine hogs. He is feeding
at present 40 head OF Durocs, which
he expects to put on the market
about the first of January. He is
satisfied with his three years ex-
perience in raising cotton and will
let the other fellows raise cotton
and he will raise corn, oats, hay
and pork and beef.
The gin at Graham is putting in
about full time and if we get fair
weather this community will soon
have plenty of money and also plenty
to eat.
The corn crop is short, but oats,
millet and crab grass are fine, there
will be plenty of good hay to feed
stock this winter.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 2S.-Durlng
the next few months the board OF pris-
on control will conduct an expert
ment i'm Pittsburg county, the result
of which may be the introduction OF
a bill in the next legislature by the
hoard to provide for the working or
convicts on the public roads of the
state. Such a plan is imperative now
because of no funds for the mainten-
ance of prisoners, nor facilities for
guarding them while at work.
Acting Governor j. j. McAlester Is
also interested in the experiment to
he made by the board. Members of
the board met with him this morning
and discussed the matter thoroughly,
This experiment can be made In

1t is proposed to take a number OF
prisoners and build eight miles of road
in the county. There are no county

ducers, numbering more than 100,
their attorneys and representatives OF
every branch of the oil industry, were
in conference trying to work out
practical business-like solution of the
troubled situation, which is to be pre-
sented for the consideration of the
commission when the hearing is re-
sumed Tuesday morning.
Would Force Oil Movement.
The hearing, which it was announc-
ed would be held on the question OF
making permanent the recent order OF
the commission, prohibiting the pur-
chase or sale of oil at less than 65c
a barrel. took an unexpected turn,
when Attorney General Charles West
asked leave of the commission to
amend his petition by asking that an
emergency order be issued, compell-
ing the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
to resume the taking of oil from Okla
homa, pending final action by the
commission. Just before the commits
sion issued the so-called "65 cents a
barrel order, the Prairie announced
cut in the price of oil to So cents a
barrel, and rather than put the price
back at 60 cents, as fixed by the COM
mission, it discontinued the taking of
oil entirely to keep from being placed
in the position of violating the or
der.
Most of the time of the hearing on
Monday was taken up in hearing the
argument of the attorney general on
his motion and the objections of rep
resentatives of the pipe line com
panies.
Asks Immediate Issuance
Attorney General West insisted that
the order be issued Immediately, but
Commissioner Henshaw refused to act
until he had given the motion fur
ther consideration. He said that he
had not been informed that such a
motion would be made until the meet
ing was called and that inasmuch as
it involved an important question, he
did not care to rule hurriedly upon
il.
w. S. Kirkpatrick of Independence,
Kan, general attorney for the Prairie,
interposed his objection to the issu-
ance of such an order at this time
because he said his company had not
been given notice in time to prepare
its case. He, too, said he knew moth
ing of such a move by the attorney
general in advance of the hearing.
Over the vigorous objection of the
attorney general, Mr.. Henshaw re-
fused to rule on the motion until
Tuesday afternoon.
Attorney General West contends
that by reason of the fact that the
company is common purchaser, it can
not abandon the taking of oil as 1t did
without first giving notice. He asserts
that the company by common prac-
tice and custom during the ten years
it has been operating in Oklahoma, has
established itself as a common pur'
chaser, taking oil from all producers
who offered oil to them.
Industry Ignored, He Says.
The action of the company in dis
continuing the taking of oil, he said,
had greatly injured the industry. and
practically amounted to a strike, or
lockout. which had been declared
illegal.

Plant Less Acreage
In Cotton.

Why? Because food products will re-
main high and cotton will probably
remain low if the war lasts. Do not
run any chances. Follow safe plan.
You will need the extra acres to pro-
duce the food crops. 1t is estimated
that between three and four million
bales of cotton will have to be car
ried over out of the present crop,
A normal acreage in cotton next year,
and no increase in food crops, will
certainly mean high-priced food and
low-priced cotton. You cannot af-
ford to be compelled to purchase high
priced products out of a very narrow
margin of profit in the cotton crop.
Economy in raising what cotton is
planted is of supreme Importance. The
best economy is in good farming and
living at home.
To bankers and merchants we would
say that with their cooperation much
can be done to make our own sup
plies for next year. In many counties
in boil weevil territory, bankers, mer-

Cut Down Fertilizer Bills by
Planting Cover Crops.

Buy fertilizers for next year care
fully. Purchase only high grade ma
terials of the kind you need. Some
kinds of fertilizing materials may be
high priced. Do not use that kind
unless you know your land requires
it. Crops turned under add fertility
to the soil and save fertilizer bills.
Landlords should see that their ten
ants follow instructions and grow as
much as possible of their supplies, as
suggested above. Next year is the
important year for all farmers in the
cotton territory to make up their
minds to "live at home" as nearly
as possible. Every dollar saved on
advances will be so much gained at
the end of the year; every dollar bor-
rowed on advances has to be paid back
out of the cotton crop.

In every emergency plan of action
is a great help. The prices of food
products are high and there is every
indication that they will remain so
during the next year. The war in
Europe has disturbed production
abroad and has interfered with con
sumption and with markets and finan-
cial conditions in this country. This
state of affairs, familiar to every one,
makes it imperative that every farm
er and every community should plan
for next years work accordingly.
The department suggests to the cot
ton farmers the following important
things to consider for the next year
A Home Garden for Every Family.
The home garden is one of the most
important means of cutting down eX-
penses and producing the living of
the family on the farm. Set aside a
good rich piece of land near the house
for this purpose. Prepare it with eX-
ira care and apply manue literally.
Secure from your county agent, your
agricultural college or the u. S. de-
partment of agriculture, directions for
the making of a garden, not only in
the summer but early and late in the
year. Proper attention to the gar
den will give the farmer wholesome
food during a large portion of the
year. Get in touch with the Girls
Canning Club work and arrange to can
the vegetables and fruits for winter
IuSp
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-09-29
Produce All the Corn for Your
Own Use.

Get good seed corn and follow the
instructions of your county agent in
raising a good crop next year. Fig
ure how many bushels you will need
for your own use and some to sell,
and put your acreage in accordingly,
You will need corn for the feeding of
your livestock and your family, and
a reasonable surplus.
Produce Your Own Hay and
Forage Crops.
If you can obtain seed at reason
able price, SOW crimson or bur clover,
vetch, or some other winter legume. If
unable to do this, put in oats or rye
this fall, peas or beans in the spring,
or use sorghum, kafir corn, milo maize
or some other crop adapted to your
climate and soil Consult your county
agent, your agricultural college or the
U. S. department of agriculture.
Produce Enough Chickens and
Hogs to Make Your Own Meat
As a rule our southern farmers
have too few chickens. Pay some at
tention to them. With a little work
they can be produced cheaply, and
enough of them will save the necessi-
ty for purchasing meat. Every family
should plan to raise a few head of
hogs and the crops necessary to feed
them. The county agent will help you
with plans in this direction. Save your
brood sows and hens and pullets. You
cannot afford to sell any breeding
stock. Market a part of your own corn
crop and your peas and peanuts
through hogs and chickens. Do not
be tempted to sell heifers or cows;
breed them to good beef type bulls
and grow your own meat
