IT'S TIME FOR THE WORM
TO TURN.

Since the days of reconstruction
the south has stood in its own light
1t has put forth every effort to pro
tect its resources from tho ravages OF
wealth. II has been slow to take hold
of and to adopt progressive ideas be.
cause 1t feared that progress would
q let the bars down, that great capital
lists would move in and control the
state and waste its resources.
As the young men of the southern
states have grown up they have had
to go to professions or TO politics or
TO leave their state BY young men
in this sentence we mean the fellows
who have caught the inspiration of
life and are mentally able to accomp-
lish things. There have been no
great plants to build and no great
factories to manage. Resources have
lain dormant and the business genius
that could have been developed also
has lain dormant Genius has been
smoothered, It has not been permit
ted to free itself and TO be used in
making great state and great
south.
The politician of the south all the
way from the township officer TO can

them into our midst we will also
bend an ear toward the agricultural
resources of the country. BY positive
legislation for the farmer each south
ern state can have its own plan fol-
rural credit. 1t can by law help the
landless man. 1t can bring about an
entirely new day for the man who tills
the soil. The planter can have Il few
roses put in his own path. He can
have the products of the soil worth
more by having the consumer at hand
If all prejudice Is buried so deep It
can never raise its head again we
can do much more toward building a
glorious country whose resources will
divide its wealth out among all the
inhabitants.
Tariff ceases now 10 be a question
that makes and unmakes presidents.
Both Of the old parties have stated
that they stand for non-partisan
tariff commission which shall regu-
late the tariff from time to time to
suit the needs of the people Under
this rule no man has a right to say
he is a Republican on account of the
tariff and no man has a right to say
he is Democrat for the same reason.
In political principle there is small
difference between the two parties.
Heretofore this difference has exist
ed. The north took the side that de.
veloped its resources and made II
rich The south took the side that
saved what it had from the ravages |
of big business and every resource as
a result has lain dormant and the |
people have been poor.
The man of the extreme narrow
may cry treason. But such
A voice is not one of treason, but II
Is one OF progress, It Is one of develop
nent, It is one that will result in
the shackles from our young
men and give them a chance to enter
he business world and to succeed.
Oklahoma is the state in which We
lave direct interest. Here we
lave vast reservoir sites that are not
,eing used. We have water power
iites that are dormant. The agri-
ultural resources of the country can
,e doubled and the rivers are capable
,f giving enough power to light every
ity and farm home of the state and
o carry products to market.
If every chain that binds Oklahoma
we're burst, If in their places progress
i've legislation were passed so that
apital need not fear the prejudice
# a legislative assembly the result
would be a stream of revenue flow.
ng this way to make our country
blossom like the rose and to bring
wealth to our individual citizens.

didates for the legislature have warn
ed the people to look closely aftel
their birthrights. The voter has beer
urged not to sell out the natural re
!. sources OF his country in exchange
for the factory and for the railroad
The politician has taken the negative
view and not the positive. lie has
been honest but he has been narrow
As a consequence the people have
been narrowed in their views of bust
ness. The average southern farmer
and the average southern country
business man IS not expected to be a
! business wizard no more than men
who occupy the same classes in other
states. They have listened to the
same siren song and have worshipped
at the feet Of the principle of resis-
tence to the pillaging hand of big
business.
There are iron mines and coal mines
and asphalt mines and pine and
hardwood forests and water power
plants and factory sites by the hun
dred that lie idle. They are idle be-
cause the south has not felt close to
big business. The south has felt that
big business was its enemy
The south feels that it was not
treated right at the end of the civil
war. This section has right to
reach such conclusions. There was
an ignorance on the part of both
sides of the country concerning the |
other that has made against both sec
tions OF the union.
The present prosperity OF the coun.
try suggests that 1t is time to bury
every prejudice that has been nursed
since the days Of reconstruction. That
prejudice has shut out thee light. We
have not been able to see ourselves
rs others see us. We have fed upon
he husks of life. We need to say
% the business world that we will go
through our statute books<we will
eliminate such laws as stand in the
way of development. We will put in
heir stead statutes that will make
t easy for railways to build and to
themselves, we will make it
Easy TO open and operate mines, we
will extend the hand of welcome to
he lumber interests, to the coal and
ron interests. We will place such
avorable legislation upon our statute
looks that our rivers will be opened,
'ur mountain streams shall create
electric power to operate interurbans

'oung men a chance to grow up ac-

erns of the country.

MAKING BUTTER FOR MARKET
Important 70 Remember Tina. Clearli
ness Is One of Main Things in
Securing Top Price.

Cleanliness is one Of the main things
TO remember in making butter 20

at the outset that milk from which
butter is made has been produced un.
der sanitary conditions. and that all
utensils coming in contact with milk
cream and butter are scrupilously
clean. As 20 churns. the barrel churn
Is easily kept clean and Is as good as
any. The churn should be thorough
~ ccalded and then cooled before the
cream Is put In. Fill only about one
third full as the butter will come In
better shape than II more 10 put in. The
cream should be thoroughly ripened.
cooled TO the proper temperature, and
the butter thoroughly washed. worked
and salted. The best way to prepare
for market is 10 put the butter up in
pound prints. using parafine paper
wrappers on which is printed the
makers name or the name OF the
firm. II frst-class butter is made and
properly packed and marketed there
10 no reason why every dairy farmer
should not receive the top creamery
butter prices.

STOCK, LEGUMES AND COTTON

Good Farming.

The Progressive Farmer has never.

en- any stock In the agitation for live
stock as a substitute for cotton, and
we are glad to see the fact is coming
more and more to be recognized that
live stock should have place on ev-
cry farm. but seldom II ever can live
stock farming exclusively be made
the most profitable. Just as all-cotton
farming is a badly balanced, unproht-
able business. so is II unsafe and GER
tainiy not conductive TO the maximum
possible profits to attempt to raise live
stock exclusively. The best results
are TO come only when live stock.
legumes. grain and cotton are so com
bined that all food and feed for man
and beast are produced and soil fer
tility is maintained. This and this
alone can rightly be called good farm
ing and good farm managerhent.-Pro-

a sort OF turniprooted cabbage. which

Kohlrabi is much used Ia Europe
and its merits are slowly becoming
