COUNTY AGENT URGES
FARMERS To USE THE
BEST GRADE OF SEEDS

In a response for desire for better
cotton than has been heretofore pro
duced in the vicinity of Ardmore ana
Carter county an earnest effort was
made during the past winter to induce
several farmers of the county to secure
the best seed obtainabe and to plant
sufficient acreage TO produce cotton in
carload lots.
This work was carried on by the Car
ter County Cotton Growers Association,
and Carl Russell, county agent. The
variety decided upon. by those inter
estcd in the work was Acala No. ).
The association and county agent sue
cecded in getting various farmers in
the vicinity Of Ardmore ana Berwyu
to plant seven hundred and fifty acres
in this variety The results which the
farmers who pldnted this seed are now
securing from this is even better than
they expected, when the work was first
entered into. The cotton has a better
yield than any Of the varieties ordina-
ilr juced in this section Of the state
and the premium secured for the lint
has caused the farmers to become very
enthusiastic.
On October Sth, SO bales of Acala cot.
ton We're sold at Ardmore for 81 cents
per pound. On October 2Sth. another
sale Of this cotton was made at 45 cents
per pound, and again on November 1st,
30 bales Of Acala cotton were sold for
46 cents per pound.
In view Of the fact that it has rained
almost continually during the month OF
| August while large portion Of the
cotton was being picked, it has been
! dan aged by the weather to sucn an eS-
/ tent that there has been no cotton that
would grade above middlint Strict
middling cotton of this variety would
easily sell on the market today for not
| less than so cents per pound. While
| this cotton has been damaged by the
bad weather to the same extent as 9th
er cotton, it is quite safe to say that
on the uplands in this county this va
riety will yield not less than 500 pounds
of seed cotton per acre and in most
cases will produce 200 pounds or more
on the heavy bottom lands.
Acala cotton is not altogether new ir
/ Oklahoma having been cultivated in
some portions Of the state for past years
with most extraordinary results.

riculture, Bureau Of Plant Industry, has

Giorni Maintains
Musical Prestige

Those who awaited themselves Of
the privilege \of hearing Aurelio
Giorni. concert pianist. IN recital at
the gold room, Hotel Blackhawk,
Davenport, last evening, were CIV
en- a genuine musical treat. The
artist, who already had established
his reputation with musical people
of the community in the numbers he
presented as soloist With the Tri-
City Symphony oFchestraIa season
or so ago. more than increased that
respects for his musical genius.
Appearing with Mr.. Giorni on the
program was the Moline Ladies'
chorus under the direction of Miss
Mary Lindsay-Oliver. which organ
ization sponsored the concert last
evening. The chorus opened the
program singing "Springtime"
(Donizetti- Rys-HerberD and new
composition, Peace of the World
the work of Miss Oliver, Mrs. c.
Leroy Bode taking the solo part.
The chorus has good balance of
tone, shows careful training and
sang very we'll indeed. Mrs. Bode,
who has recently come to the tri-
city community. has a good, dra-
matte soprano voice which she uses
very we'll indeed Her tone is good,
her control of voice pleasing and
she gave a really splendid perform
ance
Mr.. Giorni gave varied program
and the only thing to mar it was
the necessity of using a small in
strument and an old one on which
tone productions was next to i'm
possible. 1t was found impossible
to place the larger concert piano
in the hotel auditorium, therefore
the smaller instrument was resort
ed to. For this reason the compost
tons which showed brilliancy were
more pleasing than those which re-
quired a good singing, sustained
tone. Especially well played was
the Staccoto Etude by Rubenstein
and Polonaise in A fiat by Chopin,
which were played with great brill
liancy and with very beautiful eff
feet. The Staccoto Etude was TAX
en- at a furious speed and some I'M
usual effects were produced. Other
numbers on the program included:
Sonata in f minor, OPP. L.. .Grieg
Nocturne l.. minor .............

Legende-A fiat $3.50. .Paderewskl
Serenade-A fiat. :. .RachmannlnoH
Nocturne-D fiat ........ Sgambati
Rhapsodie-E major .... Dohnanyi
The audience was responsive and
enthusiastic and demanded encores,
Mr. Giorni playing a Chopin etude
and a melody from Sgambati, who,
by the way, was the young pianist's
master in his early years of piano
forte study He has wonderful
reach of hand, a firm, powerful,
though wonderfully pleasing, touch.

ITO prevent such crimes from

demand that those guilty of them
be punished like ordinary GRIM

hciting money and pledges to the
association, and today they have
been canvassing their territories
and soliciting subscriptions from
people who yesterday were not

the campaign is given up everyone
will have had a chance 10 contrib

1t was thought at the outset
OF the campaign that the drive
could be put over in one day, but

it was found necessary to con-
tinue the efforts.
No work will be undertaken on
Sunday, but a whirlwind drive
will be made TO wind up the work
Monday, and the compittee hopes
by that time to be able to an
