AGG|E MAN HAS
PLAN To SOLVE
CORN QUESTION
Says No Necessity of Selling Corn
at Present Low Price; No
Market; Feed it to Hogs
and Get Profit

81 am doing all that Is within my
power to find q satisfactory corn
market, but without results. The
highest price now being offered is
sixty-five cents per bushel for husk-
ed corn" A. F. Houston, county farm
agent, declared today in announcing
that farmers are coming to hiS office
daily and asking for assistance in the
marketing of their surplus corn.
County Agent Houston is advising
The farmers of Grady county to hold
their corn under present conditions
and in a written statement gives
his reasons. The statement fol
lows:
Il am not advising farmers to sell
corn at the above price. They can
do far better by feeding it to hogs
and selling the hogs on the market
Since feeder hogs are scarce and
priced high | suggest that those hav-
ing surplus corn house it and pur-
chase good bred sows, one for each
so bushels of corn. The so bushels
Of corn with an acre Of grazing such
as Alfalfa or Red Glover or Rape or
Bermuda and Clover will carry the
SOW and her eight or ten pigs up to
the first of October 1921, at which
time the pigs should weight 200
pounds each and the SOW should
have a second lot of ten pigs
"Now supposing the farmer only
gets 10 cents per pound on foot for
his eight of ten pigs; is he not well
paid for the holding? Is not $160
or 5000 with the ten young pigs a
good price for 60 bushels of corn and
the use of an acre of grazing? Is it
not equal to more than 81 per bushel
for the corn? Experiment Stations
in this and other states say that
SO bushels of corn with an acre of
good grazing will carry SOW and
eight or ten pigs, spring farrowed,
up to six months of age. am using
so bushels here. They also say an
acre of Alfalfa when used for graz
ing hogs is worth about $50 per
year
Il wish our farmers and bankers
may study thoroughly the possibili-
ties in feeding the surplus corn to
hogs, and where possible let us
make such arrangement 1t will
save thousands of dollars for the
farmers'o Grady county and do much
toward supplying the hog market
which is likely to be critical next
year. | am ready to assist in locat-
ing good sows for our farmers"

Oklahoma City, Oct. 19.--An open
letter from Senator T. P. Gore re-

Former Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court Thos II. Owen, who was Sena-
tor Cores campaign manager in the
Democratic primary, and at present
vice-chairman of the state Democrat.
ic campaign committee gave out the
following statement:
A number Of newspapers publish

Senator Gore had joined the Repub.
lican party and was making speeches
for them. The assertion that Senator
Gore Is not supporting the Demo.
cratic ticket is wholly without fOun.
dation.
Democratic state headquarters Is
in possession OF copy OF letter
sent by Senator Gore to the Nation-
al Democratic headquarters tender
ing his services to the party, and o
letter accepting his services from
sanator Pat Harrison, and in
recent letter to Judge Thos II,
Owen, Senator Gore makes It very
plain that he is in line with hls
party
Senator Gore has written an open
letter to Harlows Weekly which will
be published In the issue of October
%, fully and emphatically alligning
himself with his party In which he
says: After all, prefer to spend
time remembering what the party
and the people of Oklahoma did for
me, rather than remembering what
they did to me" and to make his po
sition doubly strong, he says: Il
have never quite been able to ratify
without reservations the course o.
President Wilson in boiling Bryan
In 1896, or that Of Bryan bolting Dol
man in 1910" and again he says:
Il shall not OF course, detach myself
from my party or from its principles
on account of what | conceive to ba
a temporary deviation from its APP
proved and appointed course"
In another place in the letter he
makes the positive declaration that
he is supporting Governor Cox FOR
President.
Doubtless many papers carried
the item alleging Senator Cores de-
fection from the Democratic party
are In good faith, but It is scarce
cely putting it too strong to allege
that the statement was sent out FOR
Republican propaganda purposes,
the statement adds.

SWABBING SHOOK WELL PUTS OIL
IN TANKAGE; GATHERING LINE is
BEING HOOKED UP; GORTON ACTIVE

The work of cleaning out the
Shook wei. in the southwest OF the
southwest OF section 1858 has so far
upheld the belief that the well would
prove to be good producer For
several days the we'll has been
swabbed, about 250 barrels of oil
having been put in tankage in less
than three days through this pro-
cess.
There is still some danger Of
water trouble, according to reports
from the well as, apparently they
haven't entirely shut off the water
seepage by the cementing process.
1t was stated however that no seri-
GUS damage to the well was anti
cipated on this score. Workmen are
busy laying and connecting the
gathering lines and the well should
be on the pump some time next
week and a definite test of the pro-
duction made.
New Rigney Test Due.
In the southeast extension OF the
Cement field at the location of the
Gorton Trust No. 2. Rigney farm,
southwest Of the southeast of sec
tion 1863, they are down to the
1900 foot sand picked up in the
company's Wagner No. l, principally
an offset. Casing will be set and
cemented on the 1900 foot sand and
the well will be drilled in with
standard tools.
The Gorton Trust, Wade, No. 6,
in the west half of the northwest Of
the southeast of section 2-5-9 has
the casing set and cemented on the
23OO foot pay. They are changing
to standard tools with which the
well will be finished. Indications
are that they should drill tn eplug
out and complete the well by the
middle of next week. 1t is expected
to add another good producer to the
Gorton string from the Wade farm.
OF those two Gorton tests, the
Rigney No. . is drawing the major
ity of interest because of the fact
that the 1900 foot sand in the Wag-
ner well, showed for a grade OF oil
superior to the general run of the
field, and indicative of double the
average Cement production.

Excessive rains and hail storm ol
last night in the county have only

the product is being retarded, it
was reported at the office of A. r

today.
The area Of the county touched by
the hail storm is belved to have
been small Some cotton may have
heen beaten to the ground, but the
loss Mr.. Houston believes, can be
outlined in small figures
No damage by the hail storm has
been reported in the city Of Chick
asha.
While the rains are very benefici-
ent to the newly planted wheat and
in preparing the ground for the re-
mainder of the wheat planting, the
harvesting of the county cotton crop
is marking time according to the
farm agent. Mr.. Houston has esti-
mated that the loss to the cotton
crop will be offset many times by
the benefit derived by the wheat
crop.

Many cotton growers of Grady
county are pooling their product and
by doing so are getting better prices,
County Agent Houston declares. The
largest pooling points in the county
he says, are at Chickasha and Brad
ley, where the county Grange organ
ization is taking care of the pooling
and marketing.
Buyers representing the manufac-
turers are brought to these points
and the product sold in large guam
titles. This eliminates many middle
men and spectators, farmers be-
lieve Time in buying also is saved.
For instance, a buyer can buy pool
consisting of from fifty to one hun
dred bales in the same amount of
time required to buy only a few
bales on the street markets.
Only cotton that conforms with
the standard set down by the buy
ers is accepted in these pools, it is
said.
