FARMERS WATCHING

following the attempt to control
the price of food and othes necces-
saries.
70 per cent Of the price of wheat
has been lost to the producer
This means all the way from 500
to $1,000 to nearly every wheat
raising reader Of the Enterprise.
This wheat has been raised with
high priced help eating high priced
provisions and cared for by high
priced machinery.
What is the farmer going to get
in returnY Perhaps he will get u
drop OF 81 90 per ton on coal, and
perhaps he can not buy it at all.
He sees some hope Of a ten per
cent cut in his sugar which will
save him perhaps as much as $40.

His clothes are likely to cost
him more, his meats are not follow

disc, he finds no reduction.
In flour made from wheat, the
highest price for flour has been
$7.l5 per hundred, now it is 81 65

] per cent.
1t is time that the government
acted. At FIRST it was believed
that wheat would speedily recover
large part Of the drop, or that
other commodities would follow the

bine will reap another big fortune
as the result of government inter-
ferance.
For long time the producer has
felt that the government has
thought little of the expressions
practiced upon the farmer and his
cries for relief have fallen on deaf
ears. He had hoped that while he
held the whip hand and was gett-
ing his inning at high prices and
government attempted control
against him, the action would point
the way when he was the victim;
however he gets the lash to de-
prive him Of the benefits, but when
he is the victim, government seems
powerless to protect him.
Gasoline went soaring, govern
ment investigated and the result
was further increase.
1t is time that government exer-
cised its power to see if it cannot
be as powerful to protect the tar
mer as to curb him.
II government finds that it is
powerless to protect the farmer
when he is being robbed, then let
it keep its hands off when the far

ernment finds itself powsrless to
protect all in the matter Of prices,

II the experiences of the past are

of our winter time roads, should seize
upon this as an opportunity for max

ArdmOre BOmbardment Falls
Short; Errors Boost Score
Visitors Bunch Hits With
Tulsa Misplays for Six
Counts in Fifth; Twins Take
Pair From Muskogee.

An enormous lead of seven runs
piled up in the first four innings car
ried Tulsa thru to victory yesterday
in the second game of the series with
Ardmore; for following a miscalcula-
ton by Thirdbaseman Fairchild in the
fifth inning the invaders started a
bombardment which yielded six runs
before Poison finally retired the side.
The final count was 8 to 7.
Allison's double and Thomson's sin
gle drew first blood for the visitors
in the opening round. After Speer had
announced Covington as his pitcher
he decided to change to Everdon, but
when a protest was raised Covington
was forced to start the game. He
walked Brady, Brewer bumped him
for a single and then he was replaced
by Everdon. Balenti an Ohlin got
against him for singles and three runs
gave the home boys decided advan-
tage, which they increased by one In
the third and by four in the fourth
Then came the almost fatal fifth.
Everything started off nicely, foI
henderson, first up, grounded out
After that came trouble. Allison sin
gled TO right and made second wher
Heatly uncorked a bad return. Thru
some unexplained freak of mind oI
sight, Fairchild became possessed OF
the notion that there were runners OF
first and on second for when Totter
bounded one To him he raced to the
third sack to make n forceout. II
was not until after he had thrown tho
ball to first in a belated attempt tc
catch the batter that he realized h,
had pulled homer and had retired
no one. Halls single scored Allison
Thomson rolled safe one thru the
infield sending Totten to third whence
he scored on Clark's single. Fouk

then Hayes Knocked the ball out OF

side. The assault checked, the home
