LIE FLORE COUNTY VOTES
$80O,O0O FOR GOOD ROADS

The so-called hard times haven't
given the people of lie Flore county
the jimmies, not at all. They have
recently voted bond issue of $780,
600 with which to build for the coun-
ty system of hard-surfaced roads.
They expect to get generous
amount of Federal aid on their pro-
jects.
Such highways are passable
throughout the year, in striking con-
trast to dirt roads which cannot be
used extensively during very wet
periods. Hard-surfaced roads bene-
fit the country districts and the cities
and towns, as well. They enable the
farmers to get their products to mar
ket more readily and to obtain their
purchases from city stores more rap
idly. They bring educational facili-
ties within easier reach of farmers
children and make social life in the
country more enjoyable. Hard-sur-
faced highways benefit the cities by
increasing their volume of trade from
the country, by placing the products
of the farms within easier access to
the city residents and by enabling city
people to enjoy country life at less
expense and trouble.

The gospel of grow your living at
home" is being preached from the
pulpits of Wynnewood, Oklahoma
churches, Garvin county. The Rev.
M. l.. Rice, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church, is the leader in this new
sort of evangelism that's based on
the old-fashioned text of "the Lord
helps them that help themselves.
Through Rev. Rice's influence, a
campaign has been started to place
at least two good milk cows, two
brood sows and 100 laying hens on
every farm in Wynnewood's trade
territory. To spread propaganda, the
Wynnewood chamber of commerce
has raised $500 with which to buy a
portable moving picture machine to
be used in rural school districts and
Rev. Rice has been placed in charge
of the campaign.

State Crop Worth s175,OOO,OOO

Oklahoma crops for 1921 had a
combined value of $175,677,00 ac-
cording to estimates contained in the
weekly letter of the state board of
agriculture, issued Saturday.
All values were based on Decem-
ber /, 1921 prices. Prices have been
lower than for several years, but de-
spite this fact the production for the
state has held it's own and compares
favorably with past years, the letter
said,
Cotton still ranks first in the total
value of the various crops, leading
wheat by approximately $3,OOO,OOO.
The production was cut about half
by the boil weevil, but this stimulated
the price and gave the crop first
rank in the state.
The principal crop values as shown
in the letter, give cotton, SAB, ,725, 900;
wheat, $40, 100000; corn, $24,616,000;
tame hay, $ll,34l 600; grain sor,
ghums,$7,Sl2,000; oats, 1881 900
white potatoes, $3,s36OOO.

corn in the spring he planted eight or
nine rows about 10 rods in length in

This Farmer Diversifies

The News farm editor has found
another farmer who not only believes
in diversification but INDUCES in it
IN n high degree. He is Fl. Taylor
who owns and farms 1870 acres three
miles north of Mead Mr. Taylor
bouyht his farm a few years ago for
$40 an acre. Had the farm been on
n main highway it would have cost
him twice as much, but he wanted
to farm a farm and not a highway
He has 1875 acres under cultivation
and il all can be. Last year he didn't
nlant any cotton, but he made 800
bushels of peanuts which he sold for
SI.uO a bushell for seed. He made
1900 gallons of sorghum and has
sold what he wants to of it at 30
cents a gallon. He had 25 tons of
neanut hay on his 80 acfes of pea
nuts sold Is tons at $3.50 ton and
kent ten tons for feed. He raised
400 bushels of sweet potatoes and got
dandy sum of cash out of what
mart of them he didn't keep to eat.
He raised 800 bushels of corn which
will more than run him for feed.
On top of these things he has some
pure-bred Duroc-Jersey hogs, a big
drove Of Cuban-Red chickens, and
milks pure-bred Jersey cows.
In his garden he raises everything
that any garden ever heard OF and
can enough of various things in var
ious ways to run till another garden
comes on.
Summing up, he sold enough stuff
raised in 1921 to more than half pay
for his farm; he has more feed
stored than his stock can eat, and
more and better food ahead for him
self and family than most Of the folks
in the towns ever see.

C|Ty-W|DE BUSES
HAMMER'SPLAN
Bill Authorizing Establish
ment of Lines to Be Intro
duced Tomorrow.

To relieve the District street car
situation by affording additional ac-
commodations, Representative Ham,
mer, democrat, of North Carolina, in
tends to introduce in the House to-
morrow a bill authorizing the estab-
lishment of bus lines all over the city.
Representative Hammer was unable
to introduce his bill today because
the question of taxes is still under
consideration. The question has arisen
whether the bus lines should be taxed
under the general income law. or
whether a special license fee should
be required.
The bill as framed would give the
Public Utilities Commission power to
grant permits or licenses for bus
lines at such places and connections
them.
Decision Likely Tomorrow.
The Public Utilities Commission
may hand down it's decision tomorrow
on the question of whether buses of
the Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany are to be permitted to operate
on Rhode Island avenue from North
Capitol to 18th street northwest and
thence south to the business district.
A tentative order has been drafted,
but the Commissioners have not in
timated what their conclusion will be.
The transit company last fall OBJ
tanned q permit to operate the pro-
posed line and stated at public
hearing last week that the busses
are expected from the factory within
a few weeks.
There was no public hearing pre-
vious to the granting of the permit,
protest of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company that the bus
line would constitute unfair competi-
tion with street cars.
Right to Revoke Permit.
It Is understood the commission feels
that 1t has the legal right to re-
woke this or any other permit to
operate busses. It is believed. how
ever, that the commission will decide
the present issue on the question of
whether the proposed bus line is
needed. and would prove a conven-
ience to the public.
The commis ssion also will decide
within a few days whether busses
running into Virginia should con-
tinue to make 18th and D streets the
starting point.
consider the advisability of having
these busses use 11th street and
Pennsylvania avenue as a terminal
in order to relieve traffic congestion
at 18th street, where the Virginia
electric cars start from.
