State Wide Meeting at Capital
Results in Decision by the
Farmers to Cut Fleecy
Staple Acreage.
NAME COMMITTEES
IN EVERY COUNTY
To See Farmers; Get Them Sign
Pledge Cards to Reduce the
Crop BY One half Grady
Represented.

Two hundred representative cotton
growers of the state, among whom
were County Agent j. w. Owens, G.
D. Gray and A. H. Davis, Grady
county farmers, met in Oklahoma
City yesterday afternoon, at which
time it was decided to reduce the
cultivated cotton acreage in Oklaho-
ma 80 per cent. To this end, a
committee for each county will be
appointed to see that farmers in the
various counties sign pledge cards to
this effect. According to County
Agent Owens, who returned to Chick
asha with the Grady delegation last
night.
The reports of the legislative and
ways and means committee were
adopted at the meeting
Samples Demanded.
The legislative committee reports
recommended q law be passed com
pelling the ginner to take three sepa-
rate samples of each bale of coteon
as ginned, placing a corresponding
number in each sample and on the
bale of cotton; and that one sample
be kept at the gin, one by the grow
er, and one to be used in placing
the class and grade on the cotton.
This committee also recommended
law providing the establishment of
official cotton graders and classers
for each county in the state where
cotton is grown. Another recon-
mendation was for a law requiring
all gins to install automatic weigh
ing machines for the purpose of
weighing seed trash and dirt from
each bale of cotton, the grower to be
paid for the actual weight of the
seed, less the trash and dirt
Sale of Cotton in Seed.
The growers want a law passed
forbidding the sale of cotton in the
seed, excepting the cleanup rem
nants at the end of the season, and
that ginners be paid for the ginning
on the basis of the lint rather than
the gross weight of the load.
Contrary to the desires of the gin
ners, the growers want law com
pelling the divorce of cotton gins
from oil mills.
This report was adopted.
The ways and means committee
report recommended the reduced
acreage program be carried to the
farmers of the state by every in
terested agency including the coun-
ty farm councils, the state agricul-
tural college, the county demonstra-
tion agents, and all state farm pa
pers.
The committee also recommended
that bankers, landlords, and credit
men of the state who control all
crop acreage through their control
of land and credits use their power
to their utmost to put the program
into effect.
Grady county's delegation to the
meeting returned to Chickasha last
evening.

Caddo Petroleum Company S
Well in 36-6-10 Considered
Most Important in the
Field Today.
WILL PROVE EXTREME
NORTHWEST SECTION
Gorton No. 4 Spuds In; Report
ed Location East of Gala
Belle; Other Locations
Now Active.

Despite the fact that the Gala
Belle in 2-5-9, east side of the Ce-
ment pool has been hogging the bill
for several days by virtue of turn
ing up a producer of from 200 to
600 barrels, the Caddo we'll in 36-
6-1O, in the extreme northwestern
part of the fields, looms today as
the most important well in the pool
from a development standpoint.
The answer is this: that in the
event the Caddo proves a good WELL
it win mean the opening up Of
around six to six and one-half miles
of territory. 1t will mean that the
west is a producing section, beyond
the Gladstone and the Fortuna No.
2 This well has fine prospects of
being just the kind of well that the
oilers are desiring. are drill
ing at around 1900 feet and it is
known that they are in a good sand.
Some oil is in the hole but it is
impossible to state just how good
the we'll will be when finished.
Making New Locations.
That the Cement field is being
considered seriously by oil men from
every quarter, is shown by the fact
that some Of the big companies are
now coming in and getting their feet
wet by actual operations.
Among these companies is the
Foster Oil company of Tulsa. j. E.
Foster, of that company was in the
city today and announced that two
locations will be drilled out by his
company at once, offsetting the
Gladstone No. 1 and the Fortuna
No q The Foster company will
drill in the northeast of the north
west of 6-5-9 and the southwest of
the northeast of the northwest OF
6-5-9 They have 60 acres in this
block and will start drilling as soon
as they can get rugged up. Mr.. Fos-
ter states that they will be operat-
ing inside of so to so days. Accom-
panying him was c. G. Herndon,
formerly of this city and now con-
nected with the Foster company.
Gorton's New Location.
The Gorton No. 4 has spudded in
near the east edge of 6-5-9 and will
rush this well to completion. This
company now has string of three
producers, having batted 1000
thus far. The producers are, the
Gorton No /, a gasser in 2-5-9; the
Betty G in the extreme north of the
present field; and the late sensa-
ton of the pool, the Gala Belle in
2-5-9.

the Gorton. company is playing the
east side of the field again and will

EXPLAINING FALL OF JERICHO
Scientists Have Shown How Happen
Ing at Which Many Have seoffed
Waa Quite Possible.

Many have refused to believe the
biblical suggestion that the walls Of
Jericho fell down before the Israeiites
as q result OF the sound caused by
their shouts and the horns blown by
the seven priests.
Modern researches and discoveries
In regard to sound phenomena. how
ever. show that such biblical miracles
could be reconciled with natural law.
Vibration Of sound is q thing the
possibilities OF which we do not yet
understand. 1t Is said that one Of the
great tenor singers can break wine
glass by singing into Its keynote.
The sub-bass Of the pipe organ is
known to rack pews to pieces with fits
sympathetic note.
The authentic story is told Of an
old fiddler who, angered by the work
men constructing the frst suspension
bridge at Niagara. threatened to fiddle
it down. OF course he was laughed
. at, but. seating himself near the
bridge he began TO experiment with
his bass string.
When he found the note that suited
him he sawed away on that note. The
cables responded and soon the bridge
was swaying In an alarming fashion.
II he had not been stopped he might
have fulfilled his threat In any case
care was afterward exercised to pre-
vent a particle Of vibration In the
brid&e.
