Boardman Test Proves
Value of Sulphur

A. W. Cobb, Farm Bureau Alfalfa
committeeman at Boardman has just
finished checking up on the alfalfa
plots on his place and finds that on
the untreated area he received d
yield by actual weight of 4,02S
pounds of hay per acre, on the plots
that were treated with sulphur he
received yield of $500 pounds of
hay per acre. This is a net increase
of 1872 pounds. This increase will
mean at $40 per ton an increase Of
s12.72 on the one cutting for an ap-
plication of about s2.00 worth Of
sulphur. If we can get yields like
this over the county from our sulphur
plots it will be we'll worth while.
Every farmer should watch closely
what his plot is doing.

Grille Girlie" Musical
Comedy Hit in Pictures

"Oh, Boy!" which Manager Sigs-
bee has booked for exhibition at the
Star theater on Saturday is said to
represent the only really successful
attempt ever made to translate to
the screen the complete story of
modern up-to-date "girlie-girlie"
musical comedy hit. For from start
to finish, "Oh, Boy!" is just one sue.
cession of laughter-provoking, ludi-
crous, farcial situations, yet main
tanning the romantic story Of the or
iginal musical comedy production.
The film version of "Oh, Boy!" is
the stage version picturized, the only
variations made being those which
were absolutely necessary and incid-
ent to the translation from stage to
screen. All of the wit, humor and
farce-comedy of the regular produc-
tion has been retained in the film pre-
sentation, augmented by the fact that
whereas the stage play was confined
to two scenes only, the broader scope
of the cinematograph has permitted
wealth of magnificent settings.

Stanfield Says Wool Grower
Must Get 60c to Break Ever
portland Oregonian, June 29.)

portland Oregonian, June 29.)
"The wool market is decidedly
sluggish" said Robert N Stanfeld,
the foremost individual wool grower
of America, who arrived in town yes
terday from Eastern Oregon and Ida
no. Much of the late crop has not
been sold, largely on account of the
lack of transportation Wool which
was sent to Boston in March has not
yet arrived at its destination, and
wool orders sold on sampN nave been
cancelled because of the non-arrival
Of the wool. 1t has cost the pro-
ducer so much in the past two years
that he could not get out even with
less than sixty cents a pound. This
has been due to increased costs for
everything. from the herders to the
feeding. This last winter was so long
that it necessitated double feeding,
and the feed has been high.

one-tenth the wealth Of the state OF
Oregon.
These figures are large. They may
seem exaggerated to you who have
passed up irrigation as plaything of
promoters or a pet child of the gov
eminent. They may seen large to you
who have been asleep to the great ir-
rigation development under way in
the country. They are not large in
comparison with irrigation statistics.
Government projects alone, in 1918,
produced more crops than the COM
bined output of New Hampshire and
Vermont. The average yield per acre
was $39 on government projects
while the average yield per acre
throughout the United States was but
s1S per acre. II you do not believe
these figures refer to government
statistics in the agricultural and in
terror departments.
Uniting All Districts.
The building of the John Day and
including the Mckay and Teel pro-
jects would unite all the irrigable
lands from Echo to Arlington in a
strip Is to 20 miles wide along the
Columbia. Its total would be about
100000 acres. The development of
this vast waste means much to the es-
tate of Umatilla, Morrow and Gillian
counties. II is written on the wall
that this work will be accomplished,
but much effort will be required by
public spirited and enterprising citi-
zens to put 1t across. 1t should not
be left to luck or inexperienced lead
ers but the great public of Oregon
should take hand. II the John Day
and Mckay creek projects were open
ed for settlement their wealth and
population In another decade would
exceed sums total OF the present
wealth, productivity and population
of Umatilla, Morrow and Gillian
counties. In three years the Board
man project was nearly all develop
ed, besides, many times the number
of farms would be under cultivation
at Boardman II the water had been
available. Investments In these lands
are as safe as in wheat lands or older
communities. Fifteen years exper-
ience in reclamation work In these
districts has left scientific heritage
to all those who are to follow, and
il requires no sense Of prophecy to
foretell the great future of this awak-
ening young desert empire.

FARMERS TO HOLD
COTTON UNTIL THE
GIN RATES REDUCE

Oklahoma City, Oct. 22.--An agree
ment signed by more than 400 farmers
In Beckham county not to gin any
more cotton until present rates are re-
duced was received from the repre-
sentative committee of farmers by the
state corporation commission here to-
day. The committee appealed to the
commission for lower ginning schedule
in cotton.
The commission agreed TO hear the
petition for q readjustment and set
the date of hearing for November
4th. Notices were sent out to all gin
ners in Beckham county asking their
presence at the capitol on the day set
The appeal received by the commits
sion declared that with the pres
ent low price of cotton the farmers
would not pick and gin the crop un-
til ginning rates are reduced The ap-
peal pointed to the fact that ginning
rates are now higher than they
were when cotton was bringing
double the present figure.
The corporation commission on last
Tuesday issued an order modifying
its ginning rates as fixed at the OPEN
ing of the session by permitting gin
ners to charge lower rates. where 1t
was found expedient to do so. The
petition of the committee and farm
ers received today asks that the COM
mission lower the rates arbitrarily
without leaving the matter up to the
ginners themselves.
A complaint filed today with the
corporation commission by Percy X.
Norris of Norman, county agent of
Cleveland county. declared that four
cotton gins in that county are charg-
ing more than the 81 rate fixed by
the commission for bagging and tie
ing. He said that gins were refusing
To grant the 35 cents rebate on bal
ing, where s2.26 had been charged.
Art l.. Walker, chairman of the
commission, announced that ginning
rates would be considered In any
county where complaint Is made with
as much speed as possible. He stated
that general hearing would not be
called at this time because II would
necessitate notice OF 80 days 10
all ginners, while by individual coun-
ties the cases may be heard with
mere haste.

MRS WALKER Of OKLA.
CITY DIES FOLLOWING c A
LIN CT RI n c ILLNESS
(Contributed)

Mrs, NJ. A. Walker departed this life
at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. j. Q. Adams at 1:l0 a. m. today
at the age o. rs years.
Mrs. Walker was the mother of II.
A. Walker, an attorney of this city
for IS years, but who has been a
resident at Oklahoma City for the
past years, and with whom Mrs.
Walker made her home. In addition to
her son, she left surviving her daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. q Adams of this city
and Mrs. Fannie Stillmanks, and her
unmarried daughter, Jenness Walk
er of Oklahoma City, Her husband de-
parted this life in this city in 1914.
Mrs. Walker became a resident of
Ardmore 25 years ago, and lived here
for 10 years, and for the last years
has made her home with her son in
Oklahoma City. Mrs. Walker was an
old fashioned mother who believed
that woman's greatest mission in
life was to make home and proper
ly rear her children. In this she
was eminently successful. Her chill
dren were well reared, well educated
and are high class citizens. She was
very active mentally until her recent
illness and there were but few persons
who were so wei versed in religion,
politics and other issues Of the day
as she was. She was universally loved
by all her neighbors and she limited
her friends by her acquaintances.
Notwithstanding, she had passed the
biblical age Of three score and ten,
still life was dear to her and she re-
marked during her last illness that
life was never so interesting.
She was here on a visit with her
daughter where she fell sick and the
physicians held out but little hope
of her recovery from the beginning
She was sick for more than eight
weeks before the end finally came.
She seemed to have no particular d.
sease but the physicians say the ma
chinery Of life was literally worn
out. Her funeral will be held at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. j. O.
Adams, at POI Ninth avenue, north.
west, in this city tomorrow at 10
o'clock a. m. after which her remains
will be sent to Oklahoma City and
placed beside her husband in Fair
Lawn cemetery.
