TRACTOR DEALERS TO
MATURE PLANS FO R
REAL DEMONSTRATION

1t is to be hoped that the plans on
foot for a real tractor and farm-power
demonstration in Ardmore will material
ize. as there is nothing which can be or
more benefit to the community at large.
The farmers of the wheat belt nave
generally adapted the tractor and nave
found it not only economical from a
standpoint of operation. but time
saver of tremendous proportions.
Carter and the surrounding counties,
have raised more small grains this year
than in any ten previous years. and a
large acreage is assured for next year.
1t is to be hoped that the tractor deal
ers of Oklahoma will take hold of this
project, strike while the iron Is hot
and take advantage of the offer OF Tom
Cooper, who, while arranging demon
stration for his own tractor, has thrown
down the bars and invites all tractor
makers who may care to do so, to par
ticipate therein
The tractor is getting more popular
in south central Oklahoma, and the
farmers of Carter county only need
ocular and practical demonstrations to
induce their general adoption.

FIGHT IN OHIO AGAINST
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Columbus, Ohio-At the direction of
Governor James Cox, the entire legal
and executive machinery of the State
Of Ohio is to be employed to stop the
mounting cost of living and to punish
profiteers and those guilty of forming
illegal combinations to control the cost
Of food and fuel.
Conferences between Governor Cox
and the Attorney General, at which the
Governor directed that prompt action
be taken, where preceded by a survey
which the Governor declares disclosed
evidences of unlawful practices in traffic
in foodstuffs. The evil is declared to
be largely in the concerted policy of
cold d-storage plants, which are declared
to be operated largely for the purpose
of preserving high prices.
Governor Cox declares that the law
of supply and demand has been we'll
nigh if not completely destroyed" and
between cold storage and commission
men to maintain high prices now and to
guarantee to trafficking holders of food
an abundance of supply during the un-
productive season, SO that high costs
could be imposed on these communities.
Uniformity of prices in foodstuffs
throughout the State is cited as prima-
face evidence of collusion.
Attention is also called to the coal
situation, which Governor Cox had di-
rected to be investigated. He urges the
calling together of every prosecuting
attorney in the State and the summon
ing of special grand juries, wherever
necessary.

Mr.. Sneed was sergeant in the mead

After the signing of the armistice,
Mr.. Sneed attended the University OF
Toulouse, where he took a four months
special course in art, literature and
interior decoration.
This university is the oldest in
France, having been established in the
18th century.
The course included special trips
throughout France, where the students
visited the most noted and Oldest or
the famous French chateaus to study
the decorations, the period of the furni'
ture and other features of interest, after
which they were required to write a
thesis on each subject
The students visited Monte Carlo, the
Louvre at Paris and places on the Ri
veria.
Mr.. Sneed completed the course ana
was presented a diploma, which was
signed not only by the noted French in
structors, but by the mayor of the town
who. Mr.. Sneed said, was empowered
with more authority than the COVER
nors of our states.
Upon his arrival in Ardmore, Mr..
Sneed stated that he could hardly re-
alize that Ardmore had made such
wonderful progress.

A POTATO WAREHOUSE
IS ASSURED IN TIME
FOR THE 1920 CROP

That Ardmore viii have sweet po'
tato warehouse next season, now seems
an assured fact and those Nitally inter
ested are not going 10 let matters rest
until they have exhausted every means
To that end.
X. L. Scott, George Dyer, and seNeral
other sweet potato growers have been
aeitating this for some time and lndl'
cations are that they will succeed IN
putting the matter over.
Ii is proposed TO form an association,
organize IA warehouse company and in
corporate under the laws of the state
Warehouses are being erected in diff
ferent sections; only recently one was
completed in Henryetta, and board OF
officers chosen. The same plan VIII be
pursued here.
Mr.. Scott states that a warehouse
with from 10000 to $4,000 bushels ca
pacity, will be none too large to take
care of the crop grown in Carter coun'
~, and he is OF the opinion that build
ing of that size will have to be enlarged
when farmers begin to realize the bene
III of raising sweet potatoes wherever
the soil is adapted for such purpose.
The sweet potato crop this year Is
good; the market is steady with good
demand and prices above the average.
Mr.. Scott, who was formerly county
agent for Carter county says that no
crop will withstand the drought as well
as the sweet potato, while it is practical
ly immune from disease.
1t is no uncommon thing to grow 100
bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre,
and often the yield far exceeds that
figure.
Several parties are becoming interest
ed i'm lands Immediately east of Ardmore
which are especially adapted to sweet
potato growth. and no doubt many new
tracts will be put into cultivation next
year.
Irrigation can be accomplished at a
minimum cost there, as it has been
demonstrated while drilling the oil well
in that locality that water in immense
quantities underlies the soil at a very
shallow depth.
Mr.. Scott is having this water ana
lyZed and will receive a report from
the state chemist within a few days.
Water at the oil well is perfectly
clear and intensely cold this is one
feature according to Walter Colbert
that will have to be overcome. as water
for irrigation purposes should not be
below certain temperature. This ad
verse feature could be overcome, how
ever, he says by storage in tanks from
which the water could be let into the
irrigation bitches rs needed.
People who are interesting themselves
in the sweet potato and in market gar
dens, are looking for great things in this
locality next season.

ARDMORE WILL HAVE
RURAL MAIL SERVICE

Postmaster John carlock states that

petition is so amended as 10 make II

The one approved and which viii be

Civil service examinations for car
rler will be held at an early date.
This route pays a salary of sl,7SS per
year and deliveries are to be made
daily except sunday.
The other route. under process OF re-
routing I'm order to bring II into the
motor class, is the one extending to
the west and northwest by Deese.
southwest TO Brock and back 10 this
city.
This route will be approximately 30
miles long and the carrier will command
a larger salary than the one on Route
No. l.
Postmaster Carlock says as soon as
the proper petition can be drawn TO
Supplant tne OlneI lNo ti''' N''N''N'
this territory, the route viii be ap'
proved and service will begin as soon
thereafter as possible.
Mr.. Carlock has the distinction OF
achieving what preceding postmasters
failed in doing.
Ardmore can no longer be classed as
the largest city in the union without
rural mail service. an adverse distinct
ton it has long enjoyed.
As soon as the initial routes become
operative, others will be established
but not until such time as good high
ways are constructed, as it is the policy
of the department to follow good roads.
With the establishment or rural
routes in Carter county, it is anticipat
ed that several small post offices VIII
be abolished and patrons receive daily
service by carrier.
Already Carter county has several OF
fices with little excuse for their exist
ence. so far as the volume of business
is concerned, and these will soon De
come a memory.
