TRUCK GROWERS
URGED TO ATTEND
MEETING SATURDAY

b. A. Holiday. secretary of the Car
ter County Truck Growers Association
stated today that truckers in this sec.
tion are handicapped in their work on
account of too much rain, and that un-
less the weather clears up melons, can
taloupes and other truck will be late in
getting on the market.
The season for melon planting Is
here, and indications are that the acre
age will be considerably increased
over last year. The truck growers are
going to plant the varieties that are
best suited to this locality, and the best
sellers on the market, the variety will
be decided upon at the regular meeting
of the association at the Chamber Of
Commerce Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Holiday states that it is not a
question with the association members
about truck growing in this section,
but one Of marketing, and in that mat
ter the state market commission has
volunteered its service at any time re-
quired to assist the growers in every
way possible 10 get a market for their
produce.
Transportation cuts another impor-
tant figure in market gardening, and
in that respect Ardmore is most for
tunately situated, and ideally located
to supply markets in cities along the
line Of three lines Of railroad
Every member is urged TO be at the
meeting Saturday as many matters of
importance are TO be discussed and q
definite planting plan adopted.

U.S.. BUREAU OF MINES
HEWITT REPORT NOW
BEING DISTRIBUTED

The publication Of the report on the
work carried on under a cooperative
agreement between the u. S. Bureau
of Mines and the Ardmore Chamber of
Commerce in the Hewitt Oil Field is
complete and the report is ready for
distribution
II will be recalled that two Bureau
of Mines engineers, T. +. Swigart and
f. y. Schwarzenbek spent seven
months studying operating conditions
in the Hewitt oil field. The oil opera
tors of the Hewitt field through their
agency. the Ardmore Chamber Of Com
merce, contributed a fund OF $1,000 to
provide for the expansion of the survey.
Aided by an increased fund and the full
cooperation of the interested producers,
the Bureau Of Mines has been able to
complete the most extensive engineer
ing survey and report of an individual
oil field that the Bureau has ever made.
The report is about 1872 pages in length
and is illustrated by Al figures includ-
lHB uldpS, BeOlpSlCdi CTOSS'stCtlOIlS'
production curves and photographs.
The subject matter deals in turn with
subsurface geology. engineering work
as applied TO oil field development. drill
ing and producing methods, curves for
estimating the future production. etc.
Contributions by several outside engi-
neers on special subjects have been
included. In order 10 avoid the delay
incident to the publication OF such
report by the Government. the Ardmore
Chamber Of Commerce has again ex-
hibitcd its progressiveness by under
taking the financing of the publication.
In view Of the large cost of publishing
this bulletin. a fee OF 81 will be chare.
ed winch will barely cover the actual
cost of printing Persons desiring 10
secure a copy Of this report should ad-
dress letter to the Ardmore. Oklaho-
ma, Chamber OF Commerce. inclosing
a check covering the cost of the copies
desired. Communication should not be
addressed TO the Bureau of Mines as

handled from Ardmore, Oklahoma.

Invited to Takers First Annual Flower Saturday

500 pounds were fastened to pes
at the joints, TO serve as anchors and
also 10 strengthen the pipe line.
The manner in which a pipe line is
cleaned, by the use of "go-devil" was
a new sight TO many of those who at.
tended the exhibition. The "go-devil'
is a cylinder shaped wedge about two
foot long with wing like arrangements
made about it, and an arrow head. II
is placed in the pipe line, and as it is
carried along by the oil, it scrapes and
cleans the pipe. The progress OF the
'go-devil" explained one of the pic
ture titles, is noted by a man who
runs along the line and listens" This
man is relieved every three miles. The
picture also displayed the extraction
of the go-devil from the pipeline and
the refuse which it brought with it,
The greatest portion of the film was
devoted to the refining end OF the petro
leum industry. Ii depicted the COM
plete operations of the refineries from
the time the crude is delivered TO the
storage tanks to the time il leaves the
plant in its various refined forms.
More than 800 products are derived
from the crude oil, explained sub
title on the film.
The refinery portion of the film also
contained drawings and charts showing
in most explanatory manner the way
in which the crude acts as heat is being
applied to it in the stills, the various
products passing off in vapor form TO
the condensors sand then to the receive
ing houses Looking boxes" where
the refined products are tested, agita.
tors and all the other various processes
in refining methods were thrown on
the screen.
Titles throughout the picture gave
some very interesting data on the oil
industry. In 1859, the first year of oil
in the United States, the production
reached 2000 barrels. Today, il is more
than a million. The United States is
the largest oil producer in the world,
and the largest consumer of the refin
ed products. Each year las gallons of
the refined products are used for every
man, woman and child in this country.
In 1919, there was a total Of 225,00O
producing wells in the United States,
with an average daily Of less than five
barrels to the well.

"by those interested in the welfare of
county fairs that it is of Importance to
organize such a fair circuit, which will
place these fairs OF a more efficient
basis. 1t will help systematic efforts,
energy and reduce to no small
extent the cost operation"
The matter of organization will be
first discussed at the meeting tomor-
row, and this will be followed by the
arrangements of dates for the different
fairs. Of the seven counties conferred
with on the matter four have definite
ly assured delegates to this meeting,
and it is expected that all of the coun-
ties will be represented.
AS Oon as this organization is
formed, dates will be set for the meet
ing of representatives of various

so that the best program possible can
be arranged for each county fair this

HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO
HELP THEMSELVES

The farmers of California have Civ
en- to the nation a splendid example of
what can be done by intelligent COOP
GRAFTON in the marketing of products.
They have placed the citrus fruit in
dustry on a profitable basis, rescued
rasin growing from the doldrums, and
shown that prunes, apricots and other
products can be handled p~rofitably
through their own agencies.
When the rasin growers of Cali
fornia finally got together, and en-
ployed a competent salesmanager, he
discovered that people of this nation
were eating raisins only at Thanks
giving time and at Christmas. He set
about the creation of a wider demand.
When the prune growers learned that
the crop was to be increased by the
planting of new trees, they did not sit
down and wall about the probable
break in the market. They Immediate
ly sent agents to Asia to introduce
the prune there so as to help take care
of any possible surplus. In a similar
manner do the orange growers make
Ire that their product is distributed
in orderly fashion in accordance with
the demand and not dumped on the
MAI hcJ W SulltI LIE ueIHOTdIlZdClOn OF
prices.
In former days, the products of the
California growers were thrown upon
an open market without any previous
knowledge of what the demand of con-
sumption would be during the consum-
ing months. This is avoided in the
new plan; for, realizing the Inevitable
ity of Supply and demand" these or
CARNATIONS have employed the best of
talent for managers who ascertain
what the demand shall be, and the
product is marketed in accordance with
his findings. Thus. is avoided a con
gested market at marketing season
which invariably brings the price to
the producer for below that paid by
the consumer in consuming months.
The lessons of the California idea
are being given careful consideration
by the committee of seventeen which
was appointed by the American Farm
Bureau Federation at it's Indianapolis
convention, with a view to determining
how far this California plan is appli-
cable to such al industry as wheat
growing. They will report at their
meeting in Kansas City, on Monday
next.
1T is particularly important that the
situation be considered at
this time when Mr.. Townley is trying
so arduously to lead the farmers of
agricultural states into his
promised land of state socialism,"
For, what the California producers
have done is nothing other than but
demonstrate most forceably that
Heaven helps those who help them
selves and that salvation is worked
out through intelligent cooperation,
and not through appeals to the state
or federal government.
