position as the product of Tulsa
county farm. The sole object of
Mr.. Kramer in buying TINS fancy
stock is to improve stock raising
conditions in the county. Small
farmers are enabled either to pur-
chase stock from such farms or
to breed up the stock they al
ready own, The same thing is
also true in the ease of the Phil
lips brothers of Kansas City, who
have recently purchased the
Woody ranch of over five thou
sand acres at Fischer. They have
now one thousand Poland China
hogs. Surely Tulsa county must
have unusual opportunities to
attract men from out of the state
here to farm upon such a large
scale.

IN Importance to ITS mineral re-
sources.
Oats yield good crops in Tulsa
county, whether grown on bot
tom land or upland. The Ar
kansas bottom land is adapted
we'll for irrigation, with AN abun
dance of water the year round
in the river, and by digging down
about thirty feet the best drink
ing water in the staue is found in
quantities sufficient to irrigatc
with.
Coal Mining.
Coal is found around Tulsa in
great abundance, in nearly all
directions from town, and would
have been developed to a much
greater extent than it has been,
were it not for the natural gas
which makes the cheapest and
best fuel.
Tulsa county is practically all
underlaid with coal, the veins
deeper and thicker in the western
part of the county, lands, with
coal veins of two to six feet in
thickness, that will mostly re-
main in the ground an indefinite
number of years awaiting the
future time, far distant, when the
supply of gas may be insufficient
for manufacturing purposes.
The oil produced in the Tulsa
oil fields, and not refined by local
refinerics, is purchased by the
three big pipe line companies:
The Prairie Oil & Gas Co., the
Texas Company and the Gulf
Pipe lime company, who pump
the oil to tidewatcr, refine and
export. The pipe line companies
carry immense stock of pipe and
other supplies here, ready to send
to surrounding oil fields to han
die oil produced by wells as fast
as new wells are drilled.
There are twenty-five oil well
supply houses in Tulsa supplying
the oil men with fittings tools
easing, cable and other necessary
supplies used in drilling and
pumping oil.
Manufacturing.
In the factories below are EN-
ployed 706 men as follows:
Okla. Iron Works. ........ 206
McEwen Iron Works s..... $50
Tulsa Boiler Mfg. Co....... so
Tulsa Boiler and Sheet Iron
Works Observation-Disclosures. 60
Queen Bee Stove Co........ so
Finlayson Tool Co. ........ 36
Norris Sucker Rod Co. ...... 20
Tulsa Glass Factory ........ $50
Many other factories not men
toned here whose employees mum
Der over four thousand making
the total number of people en-
plOyed in manufacturing five
thousand, with the combined an
nual payroll of $4 100000.
When you add the wholesale
houses to factories and add about
eight hundred oil companies, IA
public service corporations build
ing trades and city activities, it
brings the total payroll of Tulsa
to over $10,0O0,000.
Kendall College.
Henry Kenadll college was es-
tablished in Tulsa because after
several years in neighboring
city it did not find the same at
mosphere as exists here. And
since the institution was located
here hundreds Of prominent men
in the coal, oil and gas business
brought their families here be-
cause Of its high class schools and
moral and social conditions.

have unusual opportunities to
attract men from out of the state
here to farm upon such a large
scale.
Dairy Possibilities,
Cyrus w. Avery, county com
missioner, on his farm has dem
Onstrated the dairying and farm
ing possibilities. More than that,
he has made his farm pay divi-
dends and is firmly convinced
that diversified farming in Tulsa
county offers opportunities not
possessed by any other section.
On his farm is an ideal pasture
Of tame grasses including hlTc
grass, red top, timothy, sweet
clover. alfalfa and bermuda and
they all thrive there just as well
as in the older states. In spite
of the recent dry seasons he has
never had a failure in single
grain crop. He is strongly behind
the proposition now being ad.
vanced by the Tulsa Commercial
club of encouraging the Tulsa
county farmers to raise one dis
tinct dairy type and one distinct
beef type of cattle.
Tulsa then has three great al
vantages that it can offer to
farmers seeking a new location.
The soil is the most fertile in the
state. The climate is ideal for
diversified farming as the long
season renders a complete crop
failure impossible. Rich men
have established experimental
and demonstration farms that are
accessible to the person of mod
crate means and are conducted
with the end in view of encourage
ing him to make one acre do the
work of two or three under past
methods of farming. Also farm
land in Tulsa county can be pur-
chased now cheaper than in any
other producing section of the
country.
Diversified Farming.
The average rainfall in Tulsa
county is 81 inches. However
deep plowing in the fall and sha.,
low cultivation during the grow.
ing season has successfully over
come this seeming obstacle as
demonstrated on the Avery farm
where corn has stood up under
any and all conditions. However,
the oats and wheat crop is al
ways matured before this dry
weather season sets in. On ac-
count of the long season a salts.
factory alfalfa crop is always a
certainty. Several years ago dur
ing one season no rain fell until
in July and that year Tulsa
county harvested its greatest
crop of kafir, sorghum and
feterita. Gas can be supplied to
two-thirds Of all the farms in
Tulsa county which would sup
ply cheap heat and power on
dairy farms and yet Tulsa buys
four-fifths Of all its butter and
one-half Of all its milk from out
side the county. In short, diver
sified farming in Tulsa county is
a safe investment and can't fail
where the farmer applies scien-
tific methods and has long passed

OFFERED BY
TULSA COUNTY
AS a Rich Farming and
Mining District

That Tulsa county now offers
the most wonderful opportunities
to the real farmer of any similar
section in the United States Is
being demonstrated by wealthy
men in Tulsa who are interesting
themselves in agriculture and
stock raising. These men, many
of them milliOnaires, are invest
ing thousands of dollars IN high
grade stock and machinery OF
the most improved type and are
successfully demonstrating the
productiveness of Tulsa county
soil and the adaptability of its
climate to the raising of horses
cattle and hogs.
Model Poultry Farm.
Take the case of Glenn L
Braden for instance. Mr.. Braden
has made and is making his
money in the gas business, but
his hobby is poultry. SO he has
installed upon ms farm one and
one-half miles east or Kendall one
of the very best chicken ranches
in the entire country. lie Is
spending more money on chickens
than any other twenty-five men
in the state. The stock is the
very best that money can pur-
chase. The buildings and grounds
have been designed by experts
and Mr.. Braden is today demon
strating to the Tulsa county
farmers not only how to success
fully raise poultry but also that
the chicken business can be made
to produce dividends if intelli-
gently managed. The entire plant
is electric lighted and the incu
bators, brOOders and houses are
all heated by gas. 1t has an in.
cubator capacity of over five
thousand eggs which makes it the
largest in Oklahoma.
Stock Raising.
Then take stock raising in
Tulsa county for instance. John
Kramer has this past year spent
$4,000 for the highest grade
shorthorn cattle he could pur.
chase from fancy herds in Okla
homa, Kansas and Wisconsin. One
'heifer from this herd has been

An Interesting Wireless Test

The government, in order to
Sc. of what value the small anna

in time of war, sent out another
test m :ssage, which was to be
relayed from station to station,
handled only by amateurs, and
see how many towns IN the
United States the message would
gel to. 1t was started in Daven-
port, Iowa, at 10 p. m. Frld ay
night, and Dy twelve p. m, it
had reached every stlte Ill the
Union.
We can certainly boast of having
good wireless station in Prank
linton as Mr.. P. E. Greenlaw re-
ceived this test message six
times as it was rHlayed FROM
Iowa, North Carulina, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Louisiana and Texas
The message was as follows:
president Wilson says, |
neither seek the favor nor
fear the dlspIeasure of that
small alien element against
US which puts loyalty to a
foreign power before loyalty
to the United States"
Every station that sent out III
relayed this message were sup
posed to make mistake in one

Amendments Rearranged.

The secretary Ct state has re-
arranged the constitutional
amendments to be voted on in
Louisiana next Tuesday, so that
none Of them will bear their old
numbers or appear on the ballot
in the order in which they have
been published for many weeks
past in the papers throughout the
state. This will necessarily cause
some confusion and will require
the voters to be very careful in
the examination of the ballot to
make sure that they are voting
as they wish to do.
AS for the right of the secre-
tary of state to rearrange the
amendments for the convenience
of the voters, there is no dispute.
The amendments, in the official
publication in The Era Leader,
were published lin the order OF
their passage by the Legislature,
without regard to their import
ance, nor whether they bear on
kindred subjects.
As rearranged, the amendments
now stand US follows:
