POTATO CROP IS LARGE;
GREATEST IN TULSA COUNTY
War Famine Has Scared Farmers Into
Planting Big Crops of
"Pratics."

According to De Larue Baker, farm
demonstrator, Tulsa county will prob
ably lead the procession in the potato
business for the coming year. The
war talk of potato famine has
caused the farmers to plant extra
crops An accurate estimate can
hardly be made, but 1t is believed that
the fence corners" will be planted.
According to the seed houses, sweet
potato slips are i'm great demand,
more so than can be supplied.
Doctor Baker says there will be
hundreds Of acres planted this year
where there were dozens planted last
year.
He says also that club membership
as regards different farming products
is increasing at a large rate. and that
within the next few weeks Tulsa
county stands in fair way to lead the
entire state.
An extra effort is being made to in
crease the hog business" in the cOun-
". The farm demonstrator is working
the county so TO speak. district by dis
trict and each farmer Is urged to in
crease his "piggery". SO far the de-
mand for pigs has been far ahead Of
the incoming supply.

The fighting here again was of san

Altho London makes no mention Of
the fact the Berlin war office reports
an offensive by the British along a

country and city for each thirty thou
sand population; that blanks and
forms have been distributed and that
nationwide machinery stands ready
to take the military census In the
shortest time over allowed for such
huge undertaking one 1i-hour day.
The plan was evolved by Brigadier-
General Crowdcr, provost marshal

crll of the army. and its efficiency
rests upon ITS simplicity The scheme
is TO coordinate the vast electoral
machinery of every state under one
central authority At one step all To-
cal conditions are met in this way.
No matter what popularity of cleo
tiou system any state may have IT
Will function perfectly I'm the national

Capitalization is what was aimed at
and what has been accomplished, ac-
cording to the reports that came pour

All doubts as to the wisdom of turn
ing this task over to the states was
dispelled by the nature of the COVER
nors' messages a fine spirit Of co
operation and desire To join in the ma
tional team work for which the pres-
dent has asked In his proclamation
