the first meeting are now being real
lied When the President OF the
Muskogee Commercial club, +.
Darby. called on all citizens of East
ern Oklahoma to come to Mushogce
February 4, 1918, he outlined basis
of work to be accomplished by such
meeting. Speakers of pronounced
ability and those knowing their sub.
Jects were selected to address this
meeting, including government OK.
perts, Most of the counties OF IIast.
ern Oklahoma were represented by
large delegations and the work of
bringing about better conditions for
our farmers was undertaken. Ii was
the opinion of all in attendance that
each county should have d county or
ganlzation as the assistance that such
an organization would give to the
county agent would vastly increaee
the efficiency of his work. Since the
first meeting seventy6ve per cent of
Of the Eastern Oklahoma counties
have been organized and now have Il
farm expert in each of these. Those
that have not already done so are ar
ranging to complete their organization

their neighboring counties,
Great improvement Shown.
The great undertaking of making
Eastern Oklahoma a more productive
section has been under way in earn
est for only one year with showing
OF splendid results, yet this work Of
improved agriculture is just started.

say that the basis of all wealth has

county should put forth every effort |
possible to place Oklahoma in the front |

she should be- Our sister states have

and even better possibilities in our
soil and natural resources which when
developed will place our state
in the front rank.
