kansas. The danger of this pest doing
serious damage in the spring depends
to great extent upon the weather be.
tween now and the middle of April. If
the temperature during this period is
sufficiently high to enable the green

from developing. a serious visitation
over large areas may be expected.
In all the states where the green
bug has made its appearance grain
growers should watch their fields care
fully. If any spots appear where the
grain changes from green to yellow in
color, these should be plowed under as
deeply as possible and the ground har.

this character that the green bug
spreads over the remainder of the
fields. II straw can be spared for the

a mile this side of Colbert having

SAYS THIS Is best CoUN-
TRY IN THE WORLD

AS Nathan Rosbeck, wealthy Ohio
an, who has been visiting here the
past week sees It, this immediate
part of Oklahoma is the coming ag-
ricultural country Of the world, bar
none. Mr.. Rosbeck has been here
for several days qutely sizing up
the country and it was only yester.
day that the reporter found him out.
Mr.. Rosbeck is man of consider
able means and having accumulated
his means from mother earth thru
me media OF Ohio farms, has de-
cided to cling to mother earth as the
best investment, by ways Of Okla
homa farms.
Comparing Bryan county farm
lands with those of the older States,
where values run up to $500 an acre
for a we'll improved farm, he opines
that the soil here is equally as good,
that is part Of 1t, such as the Twelve
Mile Prairie black land, and IL prop
erly prepared and farmed will be
equally as productive He believes
that in time the best land here will
be more productive than the best of
the land in the older Northern States
f1r the reason that our seasons are
longer here, providing greater oppor-
tunity for diversifcation of farm
products. When asked for his idea
of whether our farm lands are quot
cd hig or low, he said, to quote him
verbatum: "Your best lands are a
snap at present prices. One may
shut his eyes buy land here, and
make a barrel of money on the in.
creases in values that are sure to
come when your people become bet
ter farmers, and follow the natural
line for such a country as this, di-
versified farming"
Speaking of Durant, Mr.. Rosbeck
said the town looks better to him
than any other Southwestern city of
equal size he has visited. He COM
mented particularly upon our school
facilities, progressive business en-
terprises, excellent railroad facilities
and the spirit of get up and pep
that seems to pervade the very at
mosphere In his opinion Durant
will one day become quite q factory
town in small way, by reason of
having ample supply of water, good
outlets for the finished product and
close proximity to raw material
"All you need" he says, "is to show
the manufacturers cheap power, low
taxes, and local support in a reason
able degree and they will come and
bring the pay roll with them"
The fact is, that Durant is a much
better town with greater possibill.
ties than most of us who have been
drifting along with her for years can
appreciate, and it takes a wide
awake stranger to tell us what lies
under our very noses. A little more
optimism, home town faith, and the
exercise of a little more energy and
we may in truth make of Durant a
factory town, and Of Bryan county
the greatest farming county in the
world.
