some of the finest pure bred stock in
the state. herds which are constantly
Increasing in numbers. and in valuves
that are adding wealth TO its other re.
sources.
No better evidence to substantiate
this statement is needed than a com.
parison of tax records of ten years ago
and today shiwing the total value Of
livestock rendered for taxation during
both periods.
Brings Pure Blood
The first pure bred Shorthorn bull
was brought to Carter county by Bob
Gillian during his warfare on the scrub.
and since that time the following citi-
zcns have become owners of quite ex-
tenslve herds, to say nothing of many
others who own one or two pure bred
animals.
John GTiffis OF the Speedway farms
IErrett Dunlap Of the Palnud farm. j,
D. Boone. C. +. Sykes and C. w. Clay
are all enthusiastic boosters for the
Shorthorn breed.

Woods. has done much toward the bet

Oklahoma.
Animals from this herd have won

OF the best in the United States. and are

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1922-09-03

Development of the livestock indus
try in Carter county has kept pace with
other activities. and in place of the
old longhorn so common on ranges a
few years ago the pure bred Shorthorn,
Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, and Red
Poll are found.
This condition has been brought about
in the past few years by the activity
of pioneers who believed that it cost
too much to raise n scrub animal for
the returns given, that "A pure bred in
its place is not only cheaper as a first
investment, but vastly superior as a
means of revenue when placed on the
market.
This section of Oklahoma has always
been famed as a cattle country, long
before Oklahoma became "a state, when
ranches dotted what is now Carter coun
ty, which by the way, was then konwn
as Pickens county, and extended as
far west as the Rock Island railroad,
and a corresponding distance in other
directions from Ardmore, cattle for
years was the principal money crop,
and the site upon whscn Ardmore now
stands, in those days was knows as
the old 700 ranch, the original Jog house
still remains in the eastern part Of
the city.
Hard to Quit.
When the large ranches were cut up
into small farms, and allotted to the
T.. l.. III l.
man to give up the business when he
became farmer instead Of o ranch
man, he kept few head of the original
breed, and in addition to farming, sold
some each year. more TO keep in social
touch with the business, than for any
monitary consideration derived from
IT,
This condition continued uneil after
Oklahoma was admitted TO the union
when new blood began to trickle in
ment here.
Men from the outside brought with
them new ideas. in farming and stock
raising, and the original settler being
more familiar with stock than with
farming. began TO take an interest in
the fine nimals that had ben imported
and craved a few for his own.

slogan Swat the scrub originating in
Carter county, soon became state wide
With the result that farmers and stocl;
men in this locality began to take no
