County Agent Sees Nothing But
Bumper Crop for Grady
County; Condictions Just
Right This Year.
NOW BUSY
WITH SPRING CROPS
Ground in Good Condition for
Planting Some Corn in the
Ground; Wheat and Oats
Looking 100 Per Cent.

Basing his claims ON the abund.
ance Of moisture, the variety Of
crops that are being planted and
the general conditions on the farm,
J, W. Owens, county farm agent,
believes that Grady county is
launched upon one of its most sue
cessful years in agriculture.
The present agricultural status in
Grady county, as outlined by Agent
Owens, is summarized as follows:
Most all farmers have the acreage
to be planted in corn in excellent
condition, some planting now under
way while most all corn acreage
will be planted by April 1. With
moisture extending from to 8
feet in the sub-soil, present indica-
tions are that Grady county will
produce a record-breal1ing crop
Pasture is rapidly sprouting. and
soon the 10000 head of cattle, esti-
mated to be the number fattened in
Grady county during the summer,
will be grazing the green pastures
within the next twenty days.
Alfalfa is now being planted and
from various reports from over the
county, the normal acreage, if not
more, win be planted in this coun-
ty, Mr. Owens believes.
Sweet clover planted some time
ago, is now up and, according to
various reports received from over
the county excellent stands have
been secured.
Wheat and oats crops were never
better, Mr. Ownes declares. The crop
promises to produce an excellent
grade of grain.
Most all farmers in Grady county
have removed their stock from the
wheat pasture; by doing this, Mr..
Owens states, the crop will not be
damaged or the production lessened.
The feed question, which has been
staring Grady county farmers in the
face for several months, is now vir-
tually solved, many of the farmers
having purchased enough grain to
feed their stock during the time
when rates were reduced so per
cent to those who ordered through
the county farm agent. And the
coming pastures, will be of great
benefit to the feed shortage, the
county agent declares.
All in all, Grady farmers are pro-
missed one of the most profitable
seasons Witnessed in the county in
many years. Agriculture is COM
ing into its own and l can see moth
ing at the present but bumper
crops" Mr.. owens concluded.

school career of every child III
America. It is to the credit OF
State Supt. r. II. Wilson that
he has been a strong exponent
of this kind Of instruction in the
schools and is still actively en-
couraging it. Why should not
thrift be made zone of the I'M
portant subjects in the course
of study? Certainly, it is as es-
sential for child to learn to
save as it is for him to know the
rules of arithmetic, grammar
and the like. We believe the
teaching Of thrift in the public
schools should be required, cred
its being given in the same as
in other branches. This teach
ing should be both practical and
theoretical, the main emphasis
and the major portion Of the
credits being given for the prac-
teal results obtained by the pu-
pills. In every schoolroom there
should be thrift society, close
ly supervised by the teacher.
The coming legislature may
well take such action as may be
necessary to authorize the state
superintendent to give thrift
teaching its proper place in the
public schools. With the incen-
tive Of patriotism gone, there
is grave danger that children as
we'll as adults will fall back into
the old habits, forgetting the les-
sons Of saving that haves been
inculcated by the war For many
years it will be necessary for the
American people to practice rig
id thrift and economy to pay
the war bill. In issuing new
series Of war savings stamps the
government is providing a con-
vcnient method to save and put
the savings to work. Let the
foundations of thrift be laid
early in life and the coming gen
Grafton will be more prosperous
and better off in every way. The
material success of every in

WHY NOT?

Some days ago we humorously
made an allusion to the posi-
bility that Mayor-elect Durbin
might be preparing an inaugural
address and this raises the ques-
ton, Why not?"
Why should we not formally
inaugurate our mayor?
The office Of mayor is in real
ity one of great importance. TO
the people Of the city it means
more even than the office of
governor.
As rule people are inclined
to look upon municipal govern
ment as something Of little con
sequence and doubtless that is
one reason why city government
is not more efficient.
Why not dignity all city Of
fices, giving the mcumbents Of
them to understand that the peo-
pie realize the importance Of
their duties and stand ready to
honor them for faithful service? ?

WATCH FOR LOANS TO HUNS
American Defense Society to Make
Public Names of Banks Which
May Aid Teutons.

New York.--A resolution passed by
the national boycott committee of the
American Defense society makes in
discriminate lending by American
banks to Germany a more or less
hazardous business from a financial
point of view. 1t is contended by the
society that American depositors have
right to be notified in advance of
any intention on the part of the banks
to lend their money to build up Ger
man countries, and it holds itself
ready to inform the depositOrS il
their money is so used without their
consent.
"The principle involved is quite
clear" said Richard M. Hurd, chair
man of the national boycott commit
tee. 1T is analogous to the bill just

ing that the public should be informed
of all stores dealing in German goods

A REAL ROAD PROGRAM.

AS we view the matter the
proposal of Governor Robertson
that the state vote large bond
issue for building a system OF
hard-surfaced roads presents the
only practical program that has
been offered for highway inn
provement. The sum suggested,
$50. 100000, may seem like a
very large. amount for the state
to spend but when the payment
of it is distributed over twenty
years the tax will not constitute
any burden on the people. AS
we understand it, the plan is to
take care Of the entire bond is
sue out Of the auto license fund
and hence the taxpayers gener-
ally would not be affected.
For years the state, counties
and townships have been levying
taxes and spending large sums
apnually for road purposes but
in spite Of the vast outlay,
amounting to many millions Of
dollars, we have very little to
show for it. The reason is not
hard to discover. All this money
has been spent for dirt roads
which don't stand up. A road
may be graded and put into per-
feet condition but long dry
spells or heavy rains come long
and the work is all lost. Com
nonsense should tell us that it
is foolish for us to go on wasting
our money in any such fashion.
1t is high time for oklahoma
to start a movement for a com
prehenslvc system Of permanent
roads. No improvement could
be Of more value to the state,
benefitting alike the farmers,
land owners and business inter
ests. We lose every day that we
delay such a movement, forfeit
ing not only the tremendous ad-
vantages Of such good roads. but
also Squandcring our money on
road work which is of no avail.
