HALF RATE
ON FEED IS
CONTINUED
so Per Cent Reduction on Freight
Rates In Effect Until March
l, Announced; Time Set
Expires Today.

That the half freight rate on all
feedstuff shipped into this section
Of Oklahoma is to be continued un-
til March 1st, was the gist OF tele-
gram received this morning by'Coun-
ty Agent j. w. Owens, from John H.
Whitehurst, president of the state
board of agriculture. The reduction
in freight was to end today but was
given an extension by the director
general of railroads as a result of
an urgent appeal from the county
agents Of the 21 southwestern Okla
homa counties.
Although $4,000 has been saved
Grady county farmers and stockmen
On the rate reduction during the time
is has been in force, Grady county
will realize a much larger benefit
during Che coming month, the county
agent states. "The farmers and
stockmen are just beginning to real
ize the shortage and difficulty in Sc
curing feedstuff; we have received
more requests for stock feed during
the past two feeks than we have ever
received BEFORE" Mr.. Owens says.
q urge that all farmers who de-
sire to secure feedstuff at this re-
duction place their orders with me
at once. 1t is an absolute fact that
more cars of this material will be
shipped in here during February
than in any previous month and to
insure early delivery, orders should
be placed with me at once.
GRADY county farmers will reap
a large harvest from this extension,
and those who are eligible for bene-
fits from the reduction, should act
at once" he continued.
The rate applies only to those
counties lying south of the Rock Is
land and west of the Santa Fe, and
is applicable only on shipments di-
rect to the county farm agents. All
orders from Grady county must be
placed with County Agent Ovens
The rate reduction does not apply
to shipments of feed to dealers.

FARM MEN
IN FAVOR
SEED IDEA
County Agent Reports Standard
Seed Plan Receives Support
Of Farmers of Grady
County; Enthusea.

81 don't believe that the 'prue cot
ton seed movement proposed in
Grady county will meet with the
slightest of opposition among the
agricultural element of the county.
I've discussed the matter with
many farmers and they are unani-
mously in favor of standardized
crops" said J. w. Ovens, county
agent, after he returned from a
meeting held in the Friend rural
school house.
The function of the meeting Mr..
Owens states, was to make prelimi-
nary arrangements for the organi-
zation of a branch of the Oklahoma
State grange, a farmers organiza-
tion, which is wholly in favor of
standardized crops, and other move
ments beneficial to the farmer and
the community in which he resides.
Mr.. Owens made a stirring plea
for standard cotton seed and other
movements, and he declares the
farmers in that vicinity are enthusi-
astic over the undertaking Of secur-
in gthe high-grade seed. "They
showed intense interest in the pro
ject, when / explained the action at
the meeting yesterday afternoon" "
Meetings for the purpose of max
ing preliminary arrangements for
the organization Of Grange branches
have been held at the Meridian,
Stover and Friend school houses.
Next Tuesday evening, the branch
will be arranged at Meridian, one at
Stover on Wednesday and at Friend
on Thursday afternoon, IL present
plans are followed.

STANDARD
CROP FOR
1919 PLAN
Details Worked to Standardize
Cotton Yield in Chickasha
Territory; Banks Make
Cash Arrangement.

Resolved, that tae farmers resid-
ing within the Chickasha trade ter
ritory produce a standard cotton crop
in 1919.
This was the idea expressed at the
meeting Of representatives from the
five Chickasha banks, the local seed
dealers and the county agent, held in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
yesterday afternoon 1t was decided
at the meeting that the banks should
purchase a sufficient amount of high
grade, uniform seed to supply the
demand in the immediate vicinity of
Chickasha. Messrs. Bitsche and
Freeman, seed dealers viii distribute
the seed at legitimate profit, ac-
cording to plans.
1t is planned that every bank fur
nish it's customers with the seed, and
thus standardize the crop. The cot
ton, when produced from the seed,
will be ginned at one certain gin 50
as to prevent the seeds mixing with
other seed, according to plans out
lined at the meeting.
Representative from the banks at
the meeting were: NJ F. Courtney,
Farmers State; ED F. Johns, Cti-
zens National; 7. H. Dwyer, Chicka-
sha National; f. T. Chandler, Okla
homa National; F. L. Slusher First
National. NJ F. Courtney, chairman
of the committee, presided.
The seed will probably be ordered
this afternoon and should be in the
hands of the distributors within a
short time.
