Rock Island Road
Was Pioneer OUer
Territory Served

Chicago March S.-That the Rock
Island railroad was pioneer road
in all the states through which il
now operates, Is the claim made bv
that railway in connection with plans
for the celebration of its SEVENTEEN
anniversary. The first Rock Island
train was operated out of Chicago
on October 10. 1S52-the year the
first railroad fine entered Chicago
from the east.
rhe Rock Island Ia intimately as.
scciated with the development Of
Oklahoma. The first train into Ok
lahcma, over what is now the Rock
Island Lines, was run in 1889 reach
ing FL Reno from Caldwell, Kansas,
in November Of that year-close on
the heels of the opening of Oklaho-
ma territory to settlement in the
days of the famous land rush. This
fist train into Oklahoma came IS
years before the state was admitted
into the Union.
A year later 1S90) what is now
part of the east and west line of
the Rock Island from El Reno to
Memphis, Tenn, was built from
Wister to South McAlester. This
afterward became part of the old
Choctaw line, with the eastern ter
minus at Memphis and the western
terminus at Texola, Okla. The Choc-
taw, Oklahoma and Gulf was entirely
absorbed by the Rock Island in 1902.
Owing to the fact that the Rock
Island is SO closely associated with
the early development of Oklahoma,

IN DoDGlNo BOIL WEEvlL
DON'T RUN INTO THE FROST

ITS the early bird that gets The
worm"-we'ye all been pretty wei
agreed ON that for a number OF years
and 1t is also ,ho early cotton
that lodges the boil weevll and
boil worm, but. in lodging the boil
weevil, there's a possibility of His
Cotton Tops arising 10 early--so ear
ly, In fact, that hcl! get nipped by
the frost.
That's the substance OF state
ment just sent out by the extension
division OF the Oklahoma A. and VI.
college relative to spring planting.
Early maturing cotton" this state
ment says. does not necessarily
mean small boil cotton. nor early
opening cotton. There are several
big boil varieties OF cotton that set
on and mature a good crop of bolls
early, but on account OF their large
size they do not open as quickly
as some of the early small boil va.
rieties. However. these early big
bolls are safe from the boil weevil
damage quite as soon as the bolls
on the early small varieties.
''In Oklahoma we should not plant
small boil varieties or varieties hav.
ing poor staple like Half and Ialf,
but use only one Of the big boil
early maturing varieties having long
strong and uniform lint.
do not plant cotton in the winter
or very early spring, no matter how
much like summer the weather may
be. Cotton is hot weather plant
and the seed should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warm
and all danger OF cold weather is
past. If you see your neighbor plant
ing early and you get the fever 50
bad you can't resist, use some cheap
seed for this first planting and save
your good high priced seed until
the ground gets warm enough to
make the seed germinate quickly and
grow off rapidly. The chances are
that a cold spell will ruin that first
very early planting any way. Plant
as shallow as possible to get the
seed in moist dirt. Cut your acreage
and increae your acre yields to the
maximum"
