Chickasha business men are going
visitin' No. they are not going to
traipse orr 10 the lakes or the noun
tains but they are simply going to pay
some friendly visits to their neghbors
IN the county.
The idea is TO get better acquainted
and to talk ever interests that are
common to the various communities.
II is not proposed to "go over to spend
the day but merely to make a few
evening calls on folks at Verden.
Alex, Minco, Tuttle, Amber; Mime
kah, Rush Springs and other points.
The plan is to gather up dozen or
more cars, load them up with Chicka-
sha mep and invade the several towns
in a social way.
This visiting program was decided
upon at the meeting of the board of
directors OF the Commercial and Farm
Bureau last night. A complete itin-
orary win be arranged by c. A. Nc
Nabb and in due time the dates and
places will be announced, 1t was
thought best not to enter upon his
extensive travelling scheme until after
the primary.
Mr.. McNabb made an encouraging
report on the crop prospects. 1T will
probably surprise YOU" he said, when
! say that after looking over the en-
tire county carefully, ii is my opinion
that one half the corn in the county
win make fair crop" In spite Of
drouth and high temperatures. Mr. Ms
Nabb said, owing to the large amount
OF moisture in the soil at the begin
ming OF the season. 1t was surprising
how well the corn had held up. Much
OF the crop will be failure but where
the right kind OF methods have been
used In the preparation Of the soil and
in cultivation, some good yields will
be made
within the past two weeks" said
Mr.. McNabb. "at least fifty farmers
have come to me voluntarily and said
they we're glad indeed that they had
followed the methods recommended
BY the department of agriculture and
that as result os using those
methods they would have good corn
even without any more rain"
Mr.. McNabb reported that cotton
was never in better condition, while
kafir corn was also in good condition
He also reported on the meeting held
at Tabler this week when movement
for more dairying in Grady county
was launched.
I'VE expect to push this movement
all over the county" said he, "and
we shall soon have associations organ
ized among the farmers in many com
munities. We want to get Guernsey
cattle scattered all over the county
There Is no more profitable line o
farm industry than dairying and wher
we get 1t we'll established we shal
have a much more prosperous county.

ness and receiving reports. the boar'
