THINGS IN GENERAL
FOR GRADY FARMERS
BY ]. w. OWENS.

by j. w. OW EMS.
(Grady County Agricultural AgenD
Just at this time the subject of la
Dor is worrying the farmer a great
deal. He does not know, nor can he
forecast the outcome when he has
in many instances already, planned
his crop with the expectation of
getting help in the future, If he has
planned to use additional labor in
cultivating, harvesting or gathering
his 1920 crop, ! want to say that
from the present outlook he had best
change his plans. There may be
some available labor at such times
as the farmer needs it, but not farm
labor The labor that will be look
ing for work will not suit the farm
er in the first place, and he can not
afford to pay the price this labor will
demand in the second. So, there you
are Mr.. Farmer. What can you do?
You won't have the man who is lock-
ing for work because he has never
worked on the farm He can not do
you a days work for which you can
afford to pay the price he asks All
you can do then, is 70 work alone,
and hope that the time may speedily
come when men win come around
looking for farm work who know
something about farming and can ap-
preciate what a farmer can afford
to pay.
Just short time ago ! sent a
man out to a good farmer who was
furnishing a house, garden, truck
patch and COW at $75 per month, he
stayed one month and asked for a
raise to 500 per month. When this
farmer sent this man out to plant
corn he told him to plant north and
south He planted east and west.
He told him to use a four-hOle plate
and he used a three. He told him to
use a certain team and he used an
other. This is the class of men who
are looking for work and the farmer
can not afford to put with them
when conditions are so uncertain and
he has no promise Of a profit from
such albor. Lots Of mon come to my
office wanting work on the farm, but
when l look them )ver and ask them
few questions it is not hard to find
out just what they can do for a
farmer To be plain the fellows who
are looking for work today are
freight train buns" and no matter
how badly our farmers want help I
can not afford to send them out to
them. / won't send them out, and
sincerely hope l will not be blamed
too severely for taking this position.
Another thing: If you are going
to take out any insurance on your
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1920-03-24

crop against hail be sure to inyesti-
gate the plan whereby you can do so
under the state plan. The last leg
islature passed a law which enables
farmers to insure any crop against
hail and the whole resources of the
state are behind it.. 1t is also cheap
err than any other hail insurance.
Look into this matter by asking your
banker about it.
II you have prairie dogs be sure
to get poison from the county clerk
and kill them before July l.
If you are having trouble in get
ting your oats or barley to come
through the ground set your harrow
nearly flat and go over the field.
Better do this as soon as possible.
Just at this time tha.e is a move
ment on foot to do away with the
federal farm loan banks. This would
be the most serious blow ever struck
agriculture. Read your farm papers
about this and then write your con
gressman or U. 5. senator and say
to them that you expect them to
keep these banks in existence.
Also, scores of rural mail carriers
are leaving their jobs in every state
and unless we can get an increase
in their pay it IS probable that the
service will be discontinued in the
near future.
Farmers are more directly interest
ed in this than nay other class, and
you ought to sit right down and
write your representatives in Wash
ington asking them to make an .ap-
preparation for the maintaining Of
this service.
Remember our county grange
meeting 1t will do you good to see
farmers from all parts OF the coun-
ty in session, discussing some OF
the things which interest every
farmer at this time. If YOU are not
a member Of this organization ask
yourself the question why? There
can be no reasonable excuse and
when you find out what the grange
is doing and planning TO do for the
farmer in the very near future you
will be wondering why you had not
become n member sooner Don't pass
this up and say let the ether fel-
low do it, because We need your
help, and numbers are the only thing
that count in farm organization ef-
fort today.

IF you live and do business In a
city, for heavens sake be loyal to it.
If this city furnishes you with food
and shelter, speak well of it, stand by
it, and stand by the industries it repre-
sehts. If put to pinch, an ounce of
loyalty is worth ton of clever knock
ing. If you must villify, condemn and
disparage, pack your trunk,
and when you are on the outside, knock
to your hearts content But as long
as you are part of community, be a
real man; do not condemn it. If you
do, you are looSening the tendrfle that
hold you as a part of the community,

along will be upr00ted and blown away,

GREAT CHANGE IN
LOOKS OF CEMETERY

On a recent visit to the Arcadia
Cemetery a scene greatly in contrast
to the one We saw there few mouths
ago, greeted our eyes. a glance is
sufficient to assure you that something
worthwhile has been accomplished since
the cemetery association was organized
a few months past P A. Mcclure,
treasurer Of the Arcadia Cemetery As
ISOLATION has directed the work, and it
is impossible for us to explain to you
the change that has been brought about,
and after all the job was not an i'm
possible One-it just took an EFFORT
We ask that you go and visit this
place and get the picture of the trans
formation for yourself.
No, the work is not completed, it
will not be completed, the Arcadia
Cemetery Association is a permanent
organization and will continue its work
of keeping up the cemetery. There are
those who paid years dues in ad
vance and some who agreed to make
their payments quarterly, The second
payment for the quarterly subscribers
is now due, and it would be highly APP
preciated If you would call in and
pay Mr.. Mcguire, because he is not
receiving a salary for his work, and
doesn't feel that he should be called
upon to 90 out and collect up these
dues.
We understand that some have not
yet subscribed to this fund or become
members Of the association, and we
wish to state that it is not necessary
to make formal application. Just go
to Mr.. Mcclure and give your name
and the amount you wish To pay each
year, and not forget when your pay
mentS come due.
We understand that some have given
Uncle George Washington money for
the work that he was doing in the
cemetery, and we would like to inform
every one that the association pays
Uncle George a salary for his work and
all money that you desire to give to
the cause should be turned over to the
association. 1t can be spent more eff
fectively in that manner.

LOCAL MEN Want
AM. LEGION POST

According to statement by DR.. W.
L. Atkins, one Of our local eX-Seryice
men, a movement is on foot to organize
a Bienville Parish Post Of the American
Legion. Dr. Atkins has secured the
necessary information and is ready to
organize as soon as a sufficient num-
Der is enrolled to secure a charter. 1t
only takes ten members to perfect the
organization, but it is urged that every
eX-service man in the parish cOmmuni
cate with DR.. Atkins at once in order
that he may go ahead with the work Of
organization.
As we understand the matter, no
commissioned officer will be allowed
to hold all Office this honor going to
the men who were in the ranks. The
purpose of the legion is purely pa
triotic and to keep up the spirit Of
theegreat war among those who took
part therein. We note posts organized
in other parishes are looking after men
who were wounded and otherwise as
sistlng those left helpless from the eff
fects of wounds received while in
service.
As soon as a sufficient number en-
list meeting will be called for the
purpose of organization at which time
a more extensive plan will be outlined,
If you are an ex-service man and live
in Bienville Parish, write DR.. W. L.
Atkins, Arcadia, and tell him you want
to become a member.

ROAD WORKING day,
WEDNESDAY, aug. Il

The Arcadia Chamber Of Commerce
has set apart August 18th as Road
Working Day." and called upon the en-
| tire citizenship to assist in this work.
There is no question as to whether or
not this is a good movement, because
every one in town or country realizes
this,and now is the time to put the
roads in shape for the fall market.
If we all have the interest Of Arcadia
at heart the response will be general,
otherwise the faithful few" will take
the burden Of the work and do their
best.
In conversation with P. A. Mcclure,
a member of the committee appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce, we were
informed that the idea would be to
appoint oyerseers for each road, and
that he would outline the work for the
day. Mr.. Mcclure further stated that
the people living along these roads
would be expected to cooperate In this
work.
The merchants and business men will
be called upon to close their places of
business on this day, and be ready to
leave town promptly at 600 o'clock a.
m. Bring whatever tools you have to
work with-axes, spades, etc, or If
you can bring team and scraper do
so. There will be conveyance for all
and you will not have to walk to the
job.
We feel sure that this movement has
the hearty cooperation Of all our citi>
zens and that a general response will
be made to the call Those willing to
help in this work are asked to meet
in front of the Peoples Hardware
Store on next Wednesday morning, and
be sure to have your work clothes on.
The committee appointed by the
Chamber Of Commerce to outline the
purpose of the day and advertise the
occasion, consists Of R. L. Taylor, P.
A. Mcclure and B. F. Barnette.

MISS MELVA CLARK AGAIN
HONORED IN CINCINNATI.

Miss Melva Clark, whose voice is
attracting much attention in Cincin-
natl, where she has been heard on a
number of recent occasions, was ser
lected as first soloist in a cantata
given last week in the Conservatory
Concert Hall. The occasion was a
memorial benefit to Miss Clara Bauer,
founder of the conservatory, and a
large and brilliant audience was
present. Miss Clark had already
drilled herself for another difficult
part in the cantata, "The Lady of
Shalott,' but was pressed into serv-
ice in the leading role also at the
last moment on account of the illness
of the leading soprano. Miss Clark
filled the double role with great honor
to herself, winning the hearty ap-
plause of the faculty as well as re-
ceiving an ovation. There were a
number of incidental solos among her
appearances.
The following mention from the
Cincinnati Enquirer reveals the merit
and beauty of her voice:
"The concert given under the aus
pieces of the Alumnal Association of
the Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music, Tuesday evening was me-
moriable one. "The Sea Fairies"
song by Miss Elizabeth Cook, receiv-
ed its first singing and revealed
piquant harmony, a difficult but
pleasing rythrn and several very orig
inal and enjoyable passages. The
incidental solos sung by Miss Melva
Clark, very talented member of the
student body, were especially credi-
table on account of short notice and
the demands on the voice because of
the high setting of the music. This
was especially true of the chorus
work in which she took a leading
part"
