COLBERT MAKES
Strong APPEAL
TO ALL farmers
Director Urges That Less
Cotton Be Planted, Better
Seed and Civilizations
Be Employed.

In an appeal to the farmers of this
state TO reduce cotton acreage the COM
ing year, Walter Colbert, director Of
the Oklahoma Cotton Growers associa-
tion urges use of better seed more cu.-
tivation and more schooling for the
farmers children.
The letter Is in answer 10 a story ap-
pearing in the Ardmoreite this week.
wherein farmers We're quoted as say
ing that the cotton acreage would be
increased. Following is his letter:
THE farmers who make such state
ments, and expects to put this state
ment into execution should be p,tled
rather than censured. 1t is very true
that the price of cotton seemd to be
good for this year, but | wonder If
this farmer ever realized what it cost
his wife and children to make this crop
uf cotton and does he know what made
this good price 1t is the short cror
in this county and the Oklahoma Cot
ton Growers association being in the
market for its $4,000 members.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, are you goint "a
plant big acreage and encourage your
neighbor to plant a big acreage to cot.
ton this year, make a big surplus and
sell ii at half price? Wili you work
your family all year and keep your
children out of school to harvest this
crop and get nothing out of it?
"Oh, If you could only remember
back, just two years; The 1920 cotton
crop when you made the largest cror
in ten years of your life and got six tC
twelve cents for it. Fields We're un
picked. Cotton plowed under on ac
count of the cheapness.
Now you say you want another bis
acreage Farmers. are you not goinl
to wake up and see the mistakes yol
have been making for the last fifty
years?-planting large crops of cotton
creating an over-production and gettinl
starvation prices for your family's Ia
| bor?

that no results had been apparent. He

WALKER RELIES
i UPON WATSON
Atlanta Report Has 1t He VIII
Announce For Governor
Sunday

: ATLANTA, May 1.-THE report
is current throughout the state capl-
tol today that Clifford M. Walker,
Of Monroe, former attorney general
and candidate for governor two years
ago, will make his announcement for
governor next Sunday. Mr.. Walker
has been very busy for the past few
weeks seeking the advice of his
friends. Many have urged him to
run while many others have advised
him against it.
( The report is further circulated
that Mr.. Walker will be supported
in fight by Thomas E. Watson, junior
senator, and that he feels that with
the senator's support and influence
he will be successful in his race.
Friends of Governor Hardick are
of the opinion that Senator Watson
will be unable to draw many of Mr..
Hardwick's friends and followers
away from him and feel confident
that the governor will be reelected.
The same report that Mr.. Walker
was going to announce has prevail
ed for some time, but it is expected
that Mr.. Walker will make known
definitely his position Sunday.

10000 OACRESOF
MELONSADDED In
STATE THIS YEAR
Georgia To Grow One Melon For
Every Home In u. S. With
Plenty To Spare

ATLANTA, May 11.-Georgia is
growing this year $1,000 acres of
watermelons, about 10000 acres
more than it grew last year.
This means that, with an average
yield, Georgia will produce this sea-
son enough commercial watermelons
to put one in every home in the Unit
ed States. leaving enough of the nom
commercial kind to feed the home
folks, the hogs and the honey bees.
The increase is accounted for, says
z. X. Pettet, Georgia statistician of
the United States department of ag-
ricuture, not only by increased acre
age in the old watermelon districts
but by tremendous expansion of the
watermelon industry into new areas.
Formerly, the bulk of the watermel-
ons were grown in an irregular belt
running from Grady and Lowndes
counties, on the Florida line, to Jones
anu Daiu"iiJ hCaiIy III lle GeHIeE
of the state, with a smaller area in
the southeast. This year, the water
melon area covers practically all of
the state south and east of Atlanta.
The exception is a strip of about
one tier of counties along the Ala
bama line and narrow strip along
the coast. The most intensive in
crease in acreage is in the southwest
district, but with the southern and
eastern districts crowding it closely.
The yield, however, will probably
not show so large an increase over
last year as does the acreage. Re-
ports received from all section of the
state indicate condition of only
70 per cent of normal. The condi-
tion, however, is much higher in the
old heavy producing districts. The
southwestern district shows condi-
tion of 80 per cent and the eastern
condition of 85 per cent. Every
thing considered, production viii
probably be decidedly larger than last
year though not as much larger as
the acreage would indicate. Still,
the indications are that finding mar
kets will be something Of a probs
