He was made chairman on the COM

next man to the chairman on appro-
priations, the most powerful of all
committees, very unusual compli-
ment TO be given q new man.
Now let us for q moment analyze
the situation" continued Mr.. Bum.
Every member of the senate is a
prominent man in his district, and
every senator when asked by the folks
at home will have something good to
say of Senator Carlock. This applies
to Republicans as well as to Demo-
cratic members, and in the house,
while the members of his party have
not had such intimate contact, they
all have the same opinion.
This situation will give the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Carlock a tremendous inn
petus, and if the folks at home get or
ganized without delay Senator Car.

Ardmore to continue 10 maintain its

That Senator John H. Carlock is one
of the outstanding figures in the Dem

could be nominated for governor in the
Democratic primary next year, and
that Ardmore has just come to be

Clinton o. Bum. of this city who has
just returned after having spent the
greater part of three months in the

court and criminal court of appeals,
and legislative committees on the re-
vision and codification of the stat

PECAN KING" WOULD
HAVE ALL CARTER
COUNTY INTERESTED
IN THIS INDUSTRY

o. X. Darden, president OF the Okla.
homa Pecan Growers Association, who
for several years has taken an active
interest in pecan culture, and gained
the sobriquet Of the Pecan King, has
been busy for the past few months
among owners of native trees in this
section of the state, inducing them to
bud paper shell scions TO the native
stock, and has succeeded in getting
many farmers throughout this, and
adjoining counties, to take more in
terest in one Of the best assets OF the
farm. Mr. Darden hopes to see the
entire state organized within a year.
and the pecan industry given the
prominence it deserves.
Aside from the native trees that are
so numerous in this section. many land
owners are setting out young trees, and
propogating orchards on land that is
suited TO pecan culture, and these own
ers are very enthusiastic over the pros.
pect of becoming Independent of other
farm activities in the future, as they
foresee a substantial income as soon
as the trees begin bearing.
Among the latter is A. G. Holman.
who has a fine young orchard situated
about six miles north OF the city on
Caddo creek, and others who own lands
along water courses that are covered
with native trees.

This section owning to a freeze that
Killed the buds after they were opened
in early spring, Ardmore has been the
shipping point for many carloads OF
native pecans, and the source of con-
siderable revenue 10 the owners OF
native trees. The prospects for a
heavy crop looks most flattering again
this year, and the native nuts together
with the paper shell varieties will again
be shipped in large quantities from
Ardmore again this season.
As an example of what a few trees
viii produce, one prominent land own
er of this city who has several hundred
acres in cultivation near Glenn, has on
the place draw along which grows
several native trees. In 1919 after the
other crops were practically all gath
cred, his tenants began gathering the
nuts on shares, this work was con-
tinued at intervals all the fall, and
early winter months, with the result
that the owner was turned over sl.40O
in cash as his part Of the proceeds Of
the sale, and this from land that had
for many years been regarded as use
less, or at least good playground for
fox squirrels. This man has had his
native trees budded. and this waste
land" will be closely watched in the
future, he says. as it beats" many
acres OF his highly cultivated cotton
and wheat land, and at cost that is
practically nothing.

trees, there is scarcely q farm any
where that is not harboring from half
q dozen TO several acres. and II Mr..
Dmden succeeds in his efforts, all
these trees will be bearing some stand

can be budded.

LOCAL DENTIST Is

One Of the few men of Carter county
who are receiving royalties which come
from sources other than the petroleum
industry, is DR.. l. B. Howell, promi

DR.. Howell is a capable inventor
and Is the man who is responsible for

light some paper under wood and then
place the coal on top. This is done
away with by use Of the new device,
as all is required is the placing OF the
coal on top Of the "one Minute Kind.

There Is a great possibility that

within the near future. At the pres
