sources and products taken from the
land.
Crops of both the North and the
South can be grown, which insures
ample harvest as this section Of Okla
homa enjoys from 40 to 80 inches
rainfall per year.
These lands are appraised by the
United States government, at prices
ranging from $2to 81 an acre, which
merely takes into consideration the
Timber value only, and was based
upon the government appraisement
made in 1911, when Timber apparis'
ers only considered trees which meas
ured at least eleven inches in diane
ter at the chest line. Therefore, the
Timber on each tract alone is sufn'
cient to net a profit equal to the cost
of the land, making all profits derived
from Farming and for Oil drilling
purposes a profit over and above the
actual cost.
The car will be in this city but a
few days, and will be open from 8 a.

wonderful exhibit Of Western develop

ay A GARDENER

One rather wants to know what's
the use Of hoeing II there aren't any
weeds in the garden?"
Getting rid Of weeds is but the "by
product" Of hoeing.
II you start to hoe as soon as the
row Of tiny sprouts come out Of the
ground and continue to hoe at frequent
intervals you won't have any weeds.
It is a mistake to postpone hoeins
until weeds get start.
Do 1t now; and every evening hoe al
least row or two.
Do not hoe deeply. By doing 50 you
may cut the plant roots. About one
inch is deep enough, especially near
the rows.
When rows are close together hoe
over the entire, ground, for the roots
of many garden plants spread out In
any case, the ground should be hoed
for one foot around the base OF the
plants.
Hoe after a rain or watering to break
the crust which forms.
Use a pointed stick to get between
plants where a hoe would inture the
