tion in the breeding Of Brahma cat
tie which he believes will result in
the improvement Of beef breeds in
eastern Oklahoma. Hansboro bought
three Brahma heifers three years age
and is feeding their offspring along
side White-faced steers. The Bra
hms, he says, are larger at birth than
the white-faced steers are more rug

cows arc all good mixers. Brahma

Oklahoma Crnn Notes

The average temperature for the
past week has been considerably
above normal for this time Of the
year. No precipitation of any men
lion has fallen over the state. The
weather has been favorable for farm
work and good progress has been
made in preparing the ground for
Spring crops in all sections except
N the counties where the long
drought still continues.
The weather has been favorable to
the growth Of wheat in the counties
that have recently had moisture. A
better root system is being establish
ed and slight improvement is no.
ticed in many parts Of the state.
Oats sowing is quite general in the
southern counties, but it is impossi-
BILE to make any prediction as to the
probable acreage for the state this
year. Some counties report increases
while others are reporting decreases
of similar dimensions. Future
weather conditions will have a heavy
weight in determining just what the
acreage will be.
Isn't it fact that those who con-
troll land and credits largely control
what the farmers shall do? Did you
know that the acreage planted to
cotton last year would have produced
not less than 100000 bales in the
average year; and in a bumper year
Ahnh
bales or mare? There is still too much
cotton in the world and the worlds
ability to buy is too small for a crop
OF more than 100000 bales. Do
not increase the cotton acreage.
A crop Of more than 100000
bales would invite a return to the
, terrifying conditions which prevail
ed in 1920.
In 1921, the avreage Of an acre of
wheat was $10.75; in 1920, $21.60
and in 1919, $12.93. In 1921, an acre
Of wheat brought IA barrels of flour;
in 1920, 60 barrels and in 1919, 2.O5
barrels.
The average value Of an acre Of
corn in 1921 was $500; in 1920,
s15.12 and in 1909, 1886. In 1909,
an acre Of corn bought 1.5 barrels Of
flour; in 1920, 1.3 barrels, but in
1921, it would buy only one barrel.
These figures are based on the
December l prices of these articles
for each Of the years mentioned and
you will readily note that the buying
power of bushel of corn or wheat
is probably lower than at any time
in the States history.
Raise more food for the family and
more feed for the stock on the farm.
Don't start the year with cowless
sowless or a henless farm!
The State Board of Agriculture
has recently issued cream station
permits in counties in the eastern
andsoutheasten part of the state
that have never before been engaged
in the business,
If you must raise cotton: prepare
your soil early, use early seed, plant
early and cultivate extensively. Don't
plant larger acreage than you can
take care of successfully. Remem-
ber, the boil weevil will be mighty
hungry this Surfing.
J. A WHITEHURST.
President State Board of Agriculture.

Interest In Poultry Growing


That Il state which only a little
mere than thirty years ago was de-
pending solely upon prairie chickens
"a fowl for the table should in that
time build up farm flocks to number
ll,Hl2,5Si seems sufficient proof of
III" statement that interest in poul-
try in Oklahoma is growing by leaps
and bounds,
The most encouraging feature is
that farmers no longer are willing to
continue merely "raisin' chickens"
as neglected sideine; they're
going in now to make it poultry
industry placing it on a business
and scientific basis.
One indication of this is the fact
that almost four thousand poultry
shows were held last year, including
state, county and school district ex-
hibits,
Another is that. at the request of
farmers, county agents and experts
from the Extension Division Of Okla
home A. and M, College, during that
year, held more than 1000 culling
demonstrations in the various coun-
ties.

THREE MILLION REPAID
BY COTTON ASSOCIATION
Cooperative Cotton Concern Has Ad
Nanced SJ,500,O To Members

To establish credit, borrow and
pay back s3,0O0,OOO, in less than six
months is something of a record for
any established business institution,
but that is what the Oklahoma Cot
ton Growers association, state wide
cooperative marketing organization
with $4,000 cotton grower members
has done since last August. This
record was achieved in the first year
of operation. while the organization
was yet an unknown quantity as a
business institution and its methods
heretofore untried in marketing cot
ton.
This $3,000,000, has been borrow
ed by the association from Oklaho-
ma banks since August and it has
all been paid as due"
In addition to the sum borrowed
from Oklahoma banks, the associa-
tion has borrowed $2,500,0O0 on most
favorable terms from the war fl
nance corporation. This makes a
total of $5,5O0,00O, credit the asso-
citation has established in its first
year Of existance as a marketing
agency. It's credit is more sound now
than when these funds we're first
borrowed, officials say, because Of
the reputation established for meet
ing obligations promptly when due.
The association has advanced more
than $5,500,000 to members. Over
four and a half million was paid to
members as an advance on their cot
ton at time Of delivery and a second
payment totaling one million dollars
has just been completed.

truck in which the pair had driven
from Washington, parked on the
street in front of the hotel. The po-
I lice had been notified to look out

the ostensible owner in the Columbia
hotel.
Rosenblum was taken to the pO-
lice station and locked up, and the
young woman was turned over to the
care OF the matron. Their baggage
was placed in the vault, and the
truck stored in the Ford garage.
This afternoon Chief of Police
