Future of Fruit i'm Tulsa County
(By Guy L. Reed }

You ask me what I think OF the
future Of Tulsa county as a fruit
yielding county
Now Tulsa county is known as a
great oil center. its hills are dotted
with oil rigs and power houses; but
let me make a prophecy. the time is
not many years off that the rod lines
from these wells will be running
through grape arbors laden with lus-
cious grapes and the power houses
shaded by the apricot, peach and
plum tree. II may surprise you that
the soil and climate OF Tulsa county
is adapted to the growth OF fine
grapes abundantly and many Of the
tree fruits successfully. And again
Tulsa county is one of the first In
the United States to get many Of the
brands of its fruit on the market.
We are week or ten days ahead Of
Arkansas in our peaches, and the
peach growing south of us and in
Texas is not a serious menace.
People Not Awakened.
our citizens have not begun to
wake up to the value Of the land
around Tulsa for fruit; they think il
good only for oil, when in fact right
at their door lies one of the best
grape regions in the country. We
are weeks ahead of the New York
and Ohio grape, and the quality
equally as good You understand II
you are able to get the early market
you have a ready sale and the best
prices for your fruit. We have a
man in this community growing
grapes who has taken prizes at both
worlds fairs, at Chicago and ST.

about Tulsa county as a grape pro-

A new service for the crop season
has been planned 10y the United States
weather bureau. Weekly forecasts
viii be prepared each Tuesday and
distributed to country newspapers so
that the issues Of the same week will
give the farmers the benefit of four
to six days advance forecast Where
mails are slow the telegraph will be
used. The country has been divided
into five great districts. South Allan
tic and Gulf states, ohio valley Great
Lakes region, upper Mississippi val
ley and Plains states, and west Gulf
states. This division will enable the
bureau to make the forecasts as valu-
able as possible ana to give prompt
distribution.
Along with the regular reading OF
such forecasts the foresighted farmer
will make a little extra study Of
weather science, to train himself TO
interpret indications of weather
changes. our grandfathers, many or
whom We're able To foretell changes
for q considerable time, acquired TINS

The Importance of weather studies
is recognized by the agricultural col

Homes for Rural Teachers.

4 permanent home, provided by the
school community for rural teachers,
is giving great satisfaction where it is
i'm vogue. according to Harold w.
Foght Of the L. S. bureau OF edu-
cation While out Of 1000 teachers
replying to Mr.. FOghts inquiries. only
73 live in homes provided by the com
munity the information obtained
shows that teachers who have such
homes find it possible TO become per
manent community leaders. In the
few communities reporting permanent
homes. the teachers are usually able
TO project the school into the home
and draw the home close to the school
Where teachers cottages are pro-
vided, these. aside from making the
teachers own lives more attractive,
naturally become rallying centers for
all community activities.
so long as teachers continue TO be
peripatetics" SAYS Mr. Foght. the
best results in community leadership
can not be expected. A change from
amateur to professional teaching In
the rural schools would be FASTENED
By giving the teacher a salary that
would enable him TO provide COM
tortably for his family, and by com
pellinE the community. through legal
enactment. 20 erect teachers cottage
IN close proximity to every school
plant. Indiana Farmer,

Inrm Rntinr for Crcdit.

A group Of Texas bankers has
adopted a system of rating farms for
the guidance of borrowers and for
the bankers own protection. This
crop-rating sheet consists Of defi-
mite schedule covering the principal
divisions OF food crops feed crops
and money crops. II has been worked
ont i'm considerable detail for a forty
acre unit supporting a family Of five,
allowing twenty acres for food and
feed crops and twenty acres for
money crops
The food item is noteworthy since
this division of the average southern
farm has been most neglected. Nor
has the growing of feed crops for live
stock had the attention it demands,
and the schedules provision that half
the place shall be devoted to the home
garden, truck crops, pasture, grains
and hay will involve reorganization
on many southern farms. where at the
present time a forty-acre tract may
consist of twenty acres Of money
crops. half an acre of garden, and
the rest waste land and poor pasture.
II this system Of rating for loans
can be used in reorganization through
the aid of county agents the benefit
to the farmers will be considerably
greater than the guarantee of protec-
tion for the bank This is the first
step toward applying the standardized
score card to farm operations and
toward Judging the borrowers abil-
ity To meet his obligations.-COuntry

Waen You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared sham
poOs contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cOcoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats soap or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.

spoonful is all that is required. II

with the Difference of approaching :.

The mountaineer recognized Far

of the face, he recalled their last
meeting. If Farbish should presume
to renew the acquaintanceship under
these circumstances. Samson meant
to rise from his chair, and strike him
in the face. George Leseotts sister
could not be subjected to such meet

Nancement in good manners that he
dreaded making a scene in her pres

blank and studied lack of recognition.
The circumstances out of which Far
