Following is a brief synopsis of my career from 1896:
 In 1896 I farmed and raised Der ries, D to 90 acres year, bought some apples in the orchards, and run an evaporator two years. In 1901 I gave Peter Graham $2500 for 40 acres of strawberries, and myself and brother shipped g ears of berries in 1901 individually. There was not one car of berries shipped from Springdale that year, but our nine cars. In 1902, myself and brother shipped 21 cars of peaches, the first carloads of this fruit ever shipped from Springdale. We bought all the orchards in the country that year and gave s100 per acre on the trees, and the trees were small. We gave Jon athan Foust 1925 for r acres and made $S90 net on them. In 1901 gave Mrs Newkirk 1000 for her ap- pie orchard, gave Carl Ownbey s1,00o for 20 acres apple orchard, they were small trees, gave Dr. Murphy Sl.0O0 for his orchard, gave Ed Bratton $500 for acres, gave Jim Cardwell $4O0 for his orchard, and it was cut in two with wire fence. In 1903 l bought several berry patches and

heavy shower passed over this sec

rainfall almost reached the propor-
tlons of waterspout. The shower
was accompanied by heavy thunder
and lightning and a slight hail. The
total rainfall registered at the gov

ing at seven o'clock was 0.55
inches
This section of the state is suf-
fering from too much rain at pres
ent and the farmers are complaining
over the lack OF opportunity of do
ing any plowing Very little has been
done in this county TO date and un-
less the weather takes a turn for the
better the farmers are going to be
behind in their work this spring.
Since the first day of November
up to yesterday, the rainfall in this
section, as registered at the gov
ernment gauge, was TIC inches,
as follows: November 134, De-
cember 4.7i, January to date 1.OS.

Not only is the rain preventing
the farmer from plowing, but it is
not doing the wheat any good, and
is retarding work on the roads now

IN PRIMARY
LAW MAKES PROVISION FOR
THOSE WHO FAILED TO REG
isTER - CANDIDATES MUST
FILE, WITH SECRETARY.

There are several little things re-
quired of candidates for city office
besides making the announcement
that they are willing to serve the
dear people, and draw the emolu-
ments of taid office for term.
For instance, the candidates must
file their names and intentions with
the secretary of the county election
board, which secretary is John Car
lock, and said filing must take place
thirty days prior to March Is, which
is the date set for the primary cleo
tion. The general election will take
place the first Tuesday In April fol-
lowing.
In order to vote in this election,
voters must be registered Now,
there are several in the city who
failed to get their names on the reg
istration books, and therefore would
be debarred from participating were
1t not for the fact that the law
makes the following provision in
such cases, towitA That any person
who can produce valid excuse why
be was not registered, such as sick
ness, absence from the city etc. or
those who have become of age since
the last election, will be given an
opportunity of registering before the
date of the primary. so that they
may participate in the election.
The Offices to be filed are six in
number, namely! Mayor, chief of
police and four commissioners. Only
a few bona flde announcements have
been made up TO the present time,
but there will no doubt be a gen.
eral scramble to get in the ring
within the next few days.

No CHANGES
|NPERS0NNEL
Of THE BOARD
LAW AS IT STANDS MAKES NO
PROVISION FOR ELECTION OR
APPOINTMENT OF ITS MEM
sERS.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 16.-
There will probably be no changes in
the personnel in the state department
of agriculture or in the agricultural
college and secondary schools of agri-
culture until the board shall have been
completed by appointment or election.
The law as it stands makes no pro
vision for, this matter of the election
or appointment of members of the
board of agriculture. This is the poll
cy of Frank NJ. Gault the new presi-
dent of the board, elected by the peo-
pie last November. 1t is understood
to be the intention of Governor VIII
liams not to appoint the vacancies in
the board until the legislature shall
make a law defining the method of
selection of members of the board.
The resignation of Benjamin Hen
nessey as secretary of the board, has
been accepted and the position of
secretary will be filed by detail of
another employe until the board shall
be completed. The board, under the
constitutional amendment adopted by
the people, shall consist of five mem
bers. The amendment did not desig-
nate the method of selecting these
members. There are now two vacan-
cies by reason of designations, that
of Mr. Ramsey, to become a member
of the legislature; that of Mr.. Gault, to
become president of the board.
In outlining his policies, President
Gault said, there will be no changes
until the board shall be filed There
is ample opportunity now" he con-
tinued, "to do great deal of useful
work just as things are situated and
that is what the present members OF
the board will undertake to accom-
plish II is not necessary to be In any
hurry about making changes. The
college is doing well and so are the
agricultural schools. 1t would be un-
fair for the present members of the
board to undertake radical steps in
view of the fact that there are to be
two more members in the course of
sixty or ninety days. We want to
make the board of agriculture an eff
hcient and capable body and to have
harmonious relations between the
members and the public"
Strict office hours, no politics, no
hotel lobbying, and close attention to
work of the department is expected of
all the employees of the department,
said Mr.. Gault. New rules have been
made, and will be enforced in the de-
partment. Employees are expected to
be at work at s o'clock each morning.
Their office hours will end at O'Clock
each evening This new departure in
the department has been marked, as
forthe past year, while the status of
the department and the policies of the
board have been unsettled, the disci.
pline of the organization has been
very poor and there was an obvious
effort to appear to be busy rather than
any real activity in the Offices of the
department
