A MARKET AND NOT ALOAN PLAN
IS NEED Of COTTON GROWERS

owners OF lands are bankers requiring
large cotton acreage.
A large per cent of these tenant
farmers are helpless, and must obey
superior forces, being helpless them
selves to dictate the acreage. I have
had long large experience, deal
ing with tenant farmers, and 1t is
my belief that the acreage can not
be effectively reduced unless laws be
passed helping the tenant farmer to
help himself in the matter of diver
sification and cotton acreage. Should
the people be dictated to by legisla-
lures and the congress of the United
States? They should be. and they
are by the wisest and best govern
ment. If the parent will not send
his child to school, should the state
say to him through it's laws, he shall
do so, and penalize him If he neg
lects this duty? Many illustrations.
commanding and forbidding, are
found in wise laws, and can not the
people Of this country. through con-
gress, enact laws that shall restrain
the farmers from their own ruin,
and penalize them in the way OF
taxes for violation of the economic
law that brings ruin and bankruptcy
to the southern farmers.
My only excuse for this communi-
cation, is my interest in the great
subject, and the good and welfare,
not only Of the south, but of our
whole country. One section of this
country can not be bound in the
fetters of debt, and assist in what
should be uniform prosperity through
out the country.
You may consider these views as I
considered those Of the great sena-
tor from Georgia, and in your charity.
please accept the motive, without
criticism for the views.
.... Yours truly.

FORD PEOPLE
ARE VISITED BY
MR.. SUCCS
ORGANIZE AN ASSOCIATION FOR
THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING
GOOD ROADS RED ROCK is
ALSO ACTIVE

Ford. Okla, Dec. 3.-The good
roads meeting held here today was
addressed by Sidney Suggs. state
highway commissioner. The Ford
Good Roads association was formed.
This was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic meetings ever held here.
Every one present joined the as
sociation. Organization was perfect
ed by the election of full set OF
officers, and the membership fee was
set at 5000 A competent engineer
will be employed to make plans, pro-
files, specifications, and estimated
cost of all work that will be done.
The first road will be improved
from Ford to Bliss, distance of
about seven miles. A rising vote OF
thanks was rendered to Mr.. Suggs,
and a hearty invitation was extended
to him to pay them a visit at any
time that suited him in the future.
Following the meeting. Mr.. Suggs
was accompanied on an auto trip to
Red Rock where another meeting
was arranged for him. He made
those people a rousing good roads
speech. Great enthusiasm was Gre
ated and arrangements will be made
and a date set for the highway COM
missioner to come to Red Rock and
organize a good roads and civic club
among the High school pupils.
One-half mile of the educational
mile Of road has been built, and trees
set out along each side of the road,
as IS being done in many other cities
in the state. The interstate postal
highway which has been surveyed
from Dallas. Texas, to Lawrence,
Kansas. passes through Red Rock.
AR. Suggs left here for Miami
where he will address the Tri-C1ty
club Saturday. and from there he
will meet with the park commits
sioners of the state in a convention

NEGRO DEMONSTRATORFOR
NECR0FARMERS SAYS BOOKER 7

largest land owners seldom visit their
plantations-some not more than once
or twice a year, and hence can be of
little service in teaching these negro
tenants how to change all at once from
cotton producing crop to foodpro-
ducing crop.
If permanent results are to be Sc
cured, the negro who actually culti-
Yates the land must be reached and
trained into growing a foodproducing
crop. How can this be done? My
answer would be, by putting a negro
farm demonstration agent into every
county in the south where there Is any
considerable number of negro farmers.
This negro demonstration agent should
be a man of good common sense. He
should be a man who knows the
characteristics of the colored people,
who knows how to reach them in and
through their societies, their churches
and their various organizations of one
kind and another. He should be a
man required to travel from one farm
to another throughout the country,
training the negro farmer how to pro
duce a food crop. Wherever these de-
monstration agents have already been
at work in the south, they have done
work which has been most helpful and
commendable.
If this important work is to be done,
no time should be lost in selecting
these demonstration agents, The cost
should not be very large. Either
through county appropriations or from
some part of the state funds appro-
priated for agricultural purposes, a
portion of the money for the salary
perhaps could be provided. Appro-
priations are also being made by the
United States government to encour-
age and promote various kinds of agri-
cultural work Some part of this
money, | feel sure, might be secured
from the Smith-Lever fund or from the
United States demonstration fund ad-
ministered through DR.. Bradford
Knapp. While ! am not in a position
to suggest just where the money may
be secured. / think that if an earnest
effort is made. some portion of it can
be secured from some of the funds or
agencies here mentioned.

EDITOR. THE ARDMOREITE:
Some weeks ago, through our south

each negro family raise one or more

the south | have been surprised tc
note how well the suggestion has been
received, and how many are following

went so far as to organize Pig Club
in his church.
Now, | want to make one other sug
gestion that, in my opinion, is of still
greater and more practical import
ance. For months the great cry has
been all through the south to stop-grow
ing cotton or reduce the acreage.
Chambers of commerce, business
leagues, state legislatures, and other
bodies have passed resolutions with
out number urging that we in the
south stop growing so much cotton.
To stop growing cotton is very easy;
in fact it is always easy to stop work,
but merely to stop growing cotton is
mere negative proposition and will
not, ! fear, leave the south much bet
ter off than it is at present. If we de-
stroy, or cripple a great industry, We
should be very sure to have one, or
a number equally good to put in its
place In this connection it should
be kept in mind as matter of great
importance that if the labor once
leaves the farm by reason of changing
crops, it will be very difficult to get
the labor to return to the farm in after
years.
The great cry is to grow food crops.
That is well, but one must keep in
mind that the great masses of ne
groes who have actually grown the
most of the cotton in the south for
years, and who live upon the most
valuable land in the south do not hear
of the resolutions that are passed by
these various bodies. These people
have been trained to grow nothing but
cotton and do not know how to grow
anything else. In fact, in many cases,
they have not been permitted and are
not now permitted to grow anything
else.
We must also bear In mind that the

cused of counterfeiting thousands OF

Officers Thursday night had not
completed counting the bills found
in the ROOM but the amount has al

notes have been circulated for the
last two years, and that officers OF the
government had been searching stead

of a man in St Louis in possession
of an outfit gave a clue to the loca-

W0U[DBEF|RST NEWSPAPER
MAN To HOLD JOB Of SPEAKER

Ringing. Okla, Dec. 5.--ln making
his campaign for election as speaker
of the lower house of the Fourth
Oklahoma legislature, which convenes
in about a month, Editor A. McCrory
of the Ringing News is advocating
An organization of that body that will
be so efficient and effective as to get
through all its work and quit within
the prescribed sixty days. Mr. Nc
Crory served in the Third leglsla-
ture, representing Jefferson county,
and was renominated and re- elected
without opposition.
The opinion is expressed by Nc
Crory that the people at large over
the state should know something
about the men who are aspirants for
the speakership, an office second IN
Importance only to that of governor.
They are always fully informed as to
the men who are running for gov
ernor and the various other state Of
ficers. and he maintains that this
should be true also as to the men
who would be speaker. This opinion
so far as known, was never advanced
before, but Mr.. McCrory would be
glad to see the newspapers of the
state carry articles about all the as
pirants for that position, their ideas
regarding legislation, etc.
1t is claimed for Mr.. McCrory, too,
that If elected, he will be the first
newspaper man ever to hold that po-
sition in this state or even in old
Oklahoma Territory. He Is a native
of Flatonia Fayette county, Texas,
county which also gave to Oklahoma

ing them on their guard at times OF
unusual danger of fire inception. A
feature of considerable moment to
scientists and students of meteorolo'
gy was the daily issue of weather

sphere. begun by the bureau last
January. Unfortunately, the issue OF
this map was necessarily suspended at
the outbreak of the present European
war.
A special investigation of orchard
conditions in western North Carolina,
where systematic observations are be
ing carried on in a number of or
chards by the weather bureau, in co
operation with the State Experiment
Station, promises to give valuable re.
suits. These studies have in view the
establishment of the influence of topo-
graphy on local climate, the ultimate
object being to differentiate the safe
and unsafe locations for orchards In
such regions.
Explorations of the upper air and
studies of solar radiation were con-
tinued by the bureau during the year
No small light has been thrown upon
