WE HAVE GOOD GRAIN YIELDS
OURSELVES.

+. G. Heartburg reports a yield Of
1900 bushels of white winter barley
from a field of 10 acres, or yield of
better than 63 bushels per acre. Who
can beat it.-Nezperce Herald.
Luke Stuart, living west of Grange
Vile near Lake Tolo informed the
Globe reporter that he had yield of
II bushels of barley to the acre on a
small tract this year, and that 1t was
of a superior quality and free from
all foreign seeds.
George A. Cowgirl, the well known
farmer-capitalist five miles west of
town. threshed % 2-3 sacks Of fine
wheat to the acre this year, or ap-
proximately an average of 60 bushels
This is certainly a splendid yield. and
so far leads all reports that have come
in to this office, or that we have seen
in other papers.
When it comes to grain growing
there is no country on earth that can
excel the two prairies in big yields III
all classes of small grain.

Big Cattle and Hog Shipments.
A total of some 40 carloads of sheep,
cattle and hogs were shipped from the
prairie section on Tuesday of this
week, making one of the record single
day shipments in the history Of the
Camas Prairie road. John Rothlisberg
of this place shipped out II cars of cat
tie from Cottonwood. totaling up in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in value
About half of this shipment came from
the Plains country and were driven
out to that point by bunch of neigh
boring stock raisers composed of ID. #
VanPool, Pick Chamberlain, Ed Wyatt
Lee Kelley, Jake Crook, Sprig Smith
and Ed Knorr, the prices paid ranging
from 1913 to $6.25 per hundred.
The cattle came off of first class
grass pasture in the mountains, which
has been exceptionally fine this season
due to the cool weather and abundant
rains, and were in fine condition.
Eight carloads of hogs, at cents
per pound were shipped on the same
date, adding something like $4,000 tt
the circulating medium of this section
of the country, and gingering up busi
ness in proportion.

high in his profession is a student of

EDUCATION VERSUS MAIN
STRENGTH IN FARMING
April q, 1916.

| lliA fA-lItul. bDN. J. lbHh ilON'i
of Vermont
In the good old days of Jack and the
Bean Stalk and from then down
through the generations to the days
of the Ford automobile and other trou-
bes. the farmer who earned his bread
by the sweat of his brow held in con
tempt the book farmer who got his
theories and experience from the print
ed page instead of in the school of
hard knocks.
Those of us who are no longer
Young, well remember how our farmer
fathers and neighbors got their backs
up and their hammers out for anybody
who thought he could learn to be a
successful farmer by going to school
or college, or anywhere else except by
being brought up in the farming bust
ness. They welcomed the man who
wore callouses on his hands and scorn
ed him who wore speCtacles because
of much study. They did their farming
by main strength and not as an in
telectual pursuit.
Then all at once came the day of
the highbr6w efficiency engineers and
laboratory experts. Almost in day
farming changed from sentence at
hard labor for life to theory of chem
ical analysis, business management,
and scientific control The old time
farmers were left limping along be
hind the bunch while the colts of the
new school romped off with their heads
in the air and i'll concealed contempt
for the has beens whom they had tri-
umphantly left behind. The enthusiasm
of the youngsters lasted all the way
to the turn, and even part way home,
when they began to find out that a
race isn't won until the wire is reached
and that slip at the start isn't any
more serious than a slide on the home
stretch. The old ringers, though
somewhat dazed by the dust in their
eyes, kept pounding along at the wire;
some of the veterans were right up
with the four-year-olds.
In other words the college bred
farmer with head full of book learn
ing hadn't proved himself so much
superior to his dad after all Like
wise the old man who had snorted in
contempt at the new-fangled notions
of the younger generation didn't do
enough better to brag about in loud
tone of voice
The truth is that both the old school
and the new were partly right and
partly wrong a man can get a living
ON farm by hard work and long
hours without ever looking into book,
but he doesn't know much about the
joy of living and will never be pointed
out as leading citizen or as a good
example. On the other hand it may
be possible for a farmer to keep off
the town even if he Is trained IN a
laboratory and goes though life with a
book in one hand and germ in the
other but he is more likely to be con
sidered the town nut than successful
farmer.
\ man who succeeds anywhere at
any time must have the doors of his
mind open because new ideas do not
always carry gimlet and cold
chisel He should not, however be so
intent in listening for the first chirp
of a new idea that he fails to hear the
rumble of a full-grown thunder shower
coming up over the hill in haying time.
The manufacturer who succeeds.

"Of this, | shall say little. l do not

To do so would be to criticize the

and solve them. The functions rest
on the people of Ardmore, on every

until the demand is made can we ex-

MY plan to increase the payrolls
of Ardmore and to increase the ranks
of the dinner bucket brigade, is to
start getting small industries. | have
in mind two broom factories in Okla
homa City, both of which began with
about three or four employees, and
which now employ more than a hun
dred.
81 consider that development COM
pany organized in Ardmore can bring
many small plants to this city which
will prosper and grow. a few hun
dred dollars will give the right broom
man a start. This could be loaned
him and the development company
could keep him under its wing until
he had paid out A shirt factory,
glove factory, overall factory, and a
factory for the manufacture of small
household commodities would find
plenty of encouragement. Everyone
could and should first crawl, then
walk and then run. We can help
them in the crawling period, and
when once on their feet they would
be factors in the dinner bucket bri-
gade.
Let us suppose hundred men in
Ardmore would join such a company
and pledge support to the amount
of one hundred dollars each, as it
was needed. a thousand dollars to
start off some little beehive would
mean only ten dollars each, and if
ten were started and five prospered
and grew, their value would be ten
fold to this community.
