A TRIP TO OKLAHOMA
Chris (Jennings Writes of Things
Seen and heard
—
Editor The .lournal: As I am
now in Oklahoma, l thought I
would write a short sketch for the
o!d home paper, and if it escapes
j the waste basket, ray old friends
may read and judge as to what 1
think of this country.
Myself and son, Jesse, boarded
Sthe early train at Magness on the
• pith of November. At 10 o'clock
we arrived in Little Hock, where
we remained until 2:30, when we
boarded a Hock Island train for
El Reno, Okla. The train was
well-filled with people going West,
some going to New Mexico to hunt
the “Sugar Tree.” We arrived
at Ilooneville about midnight,
where we stopped twenty minutes
for lunch. We arrived in Okla
homa City about day-break, and
got to El Reno at 7:15, where we
bad to lay over until 3 p. m. El
Reno is a beautiful city and is sur
rounded by a fine farming country.
At 3 o’clock we boarded a south
i
bound train for Marlow, where we
| arrived at 5 o'clock and were met
| by my son, Tom, and an old
I friend, A. G. Brannon, who were
there with conveyance to carry us
out to their home nine miles in the
country.
| On the 13th I witnessed one of
, Tom Jernigan’s cyclones and blue
I whistlers. It was pretty rough,
; and the people said it would have
been a cyclone but the straight
i wind got the best of it and blew it
over into Arkansas. But the
storm blew over and Sunday was
’ a tine day, so we all went south
about six miles and took dinner
with Burt Tuggle and his good
lady. They had a tine dinner.
’ John Tuggle and lady, Mr. Pick
ett and family, and Great Scott! I
' don’t know how many more, were
there. They >at me down at the
■ head of the table and you can
guess the rest.
The people out here go to see
j their neighbors and eat up their
hash, and I am getting my part of
■ | it, you bet. There are lots of
| good people out here, and they
treat me so nicely I feel like I am
j at home everywhere I go.
This is a tine farming country,
1 and every farmer has plenty of
hogs and corn. Land is high and
hard to get. It sells at $15 to $40
an acre, according to improve
ments. Most of the land is roll
ing and the soil is sandy. They
have red. white and black sandy
soils. The red and the black
soils are the best and seem to stand
the drouth better.
Cotton makes about half a bale
to the acre; and corn 30 to 60 bush
els per acre. Corn is selling at 50
cents a bushel; cotton at 14 cent"
and hogs at Ti cents on foot.
The worst drawback I see to
this country is that they have no
timber except blackjack. When
you cut down one of them an
Arkansas man doesn't know which
onil tn hr*inn nn t.n trim it nr» I ho
limbs all grow the wrong way and
you have to begin at the top. The
chickens are all “bunties,” be
cause they have to roost in the
blackjack trees, and the limbs
keep their tails pulled out. The
rabbits have no tail at all they
keep their tails snatched off run
ning through the postoak bushes.
Hut you all know that every state
has its faults anyway, and Okla
homa has hers.
As for the people, 1 can say with
all due respect, that the people
here are as good as 1 ever met
They are good, law-abiding citi
zens. There are plenty of good
school houses and churches all
through the country.
The nearest trading point here
is Marlow, which is a beautiful
little city of 3.000, situated on the
Hock Island road. They have a
tine school building and six
churches Baptist, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Catholic and two
Christian, one progressive and one
non-progressive. Marlow is a line
business town. It has three large
cotton gin^, and three large corn
elevatois.They shiplargequantities
of corn, and it is also a tine hog
and cattle market. I have spent a
part of two days in the little city
since I have been here, and cer*
tainl.v enjoyed it. I met several
Arkansas people there, among
them being an old friend, R. M.
Kike, who was raised near Rosie,
and is a cousin of W. A. Fike of
Batesville. He is getting along
well.
1 expect to remain here until
the holidays, and then if don’t go
further West, will return to my
old home in Arkansas.

NEW CODE FOR FARMERS
Ten Commandments of Agricul
ture Evolved by Uncle Sam
At an early period it was found
necessary to evolve from the mass
of ethical teaching, a few general
rules for living called the I en
Commandments,” by w hich a man
could be moral without going
through a course in theology.
Just so, in order to instruct the
average farmer how to success
fully conduct his farm operations ,
so as to secure a greater net gain
from the farm, it i* necessary to
first deduce from the mass of ag
ricultural teachings a few general
rules. They are called *' The
Ten Commandments of Agricult
1 ure.” by the practice of which a
man may he a good farmer in any
state, and are sent out by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
1. —Prepare a deep and thor
oughly pulverized seed bed, well
drained; break in the fall to the
depth of 10 or 12 inches,accord
ing to the soil, with implements
that will not bring too much of
the subsoil to the surface, (the
foregoing depths should he reach
ed gradually.
2. —Use seed of the best variety,
intellegently selected and careful
ly stored.
i
3. —In cultivated crops, give
the rows and the plants in the
: rows a space suited to the plant,
the soil and the climate.
4. —Use intensive tillage during
the growing period of the crops,
5. —Secure a high content of
humus in the soil by the use of
legumes, barnyard manure, farm
refuse, and commercial fertilizers.
t».—Carry out a systematic crop
rotation with a winter cover crop
Ion southern farms.
7. —Accomplish more work in a
day by using more horse power
and better implements.
8. —Increase the farm stock to
the extent of utilizing all the waste
products and idle land of the farm.
9. — Produce all the food re
quired for the men and animals on
the farm.
10. Keen an account of each
farm product, in order to know
from which the gain or loss arises.

BATESVILLE DEFEATS
NEWARK TEAH
The Newark High School foot
ball team went up to Batesville
Thanksgiving and met the Bates
ville Giants on the gridiron, it
being the first game for both
teams. The Giants were a much
heavier bunch than the High
School lads but the frisky school
boys held trieir heavy opponents
down to the close margin of Is
to 0, allowing them only three
touch - downs and one held
kick in the first half. In the sec
ond half the Giants did not near

the goal line, and the game
ls-0 in favor of B&tesville.

A THOL'tiMT FOR THE FARMER
The only farmer who succeeds
with the one crop method is the
big plantation owner who turns
his farm over to tenants and over
seers and extracts from them a
living under the mortgage and
credit spstem.
Hut in the end he, too, linds he
has lost through the depreciation
in his lands. Without fertility
acres are poor revenue producers.
The owner blessed with hundreds
of acres of deplected soil is cursed.
It’s better to have sixty acres
well tilled and managed than a
thousand worn out and robbed of
fertility.
