Forum should be addressed to Uncle
of our county is 'very great.
Farmors are benefitted by having
oanning factories operating in
their Bection of country, as. they
find it more profitable to grow
tomatoes, string beans or peas
for the canner than by growing
any other crop. The yield of to
matoes varies greatly in different
soils, it being between 8 and 16
tons to the acre, fair average
yield being 12 tons, or about 400
bushels In a looality th"t poss
esses a soil and climate suoh us
wo have' to the growing of vege
tables and fruits. It is u simple
matter toinduoe the farmers of
our county to plant and grov
them when a profitable market is
insight.
Wherever faotorits have been,
successfully conducted, the far
mors have been pleased with tho r
experience in growing and sup
plying tho raw materials for suh
fudtorios. -Many- -. towns' have
been built up solely through the
establishing of canning factories;
and again in a business of this
kind the money is mostly kept at
home. The U. S. government
reports say that 400,000 aores
was doVoted to the growing of
tomatoes alotiMor the oanning
factories of our country, which
indicates the importance of toma
toes in the oanning industry, and
the demand is increasing, as vast
amounts of oanned goods aro ex
ported, to Europe. We would
like to seo some of our bright
men agitate this' question and
establish a cannery in our oity.
The great southwest needs to
mato canneries, and tho demand
for oanned goods of all kinds will
bo uncommonly heavy for. the,
next few jears and continuously
thoroaf tor because of the great
immigration into this territory.
T6 Buocossfiilly run the can
ning bupinesF, a man of praotioal
experienco to supe intoni tho
processing of the goods -is abso
lutely neoessary. One who oan
put up high grado goods as suoh
goods is a long way ahead of tho
supply.

Improved stalk had fifty-ono

eight. Mr. Viok planted this cot
ton side by side as on experiment
to 8oo just what tho difference is.
He reports many open bolls and
says that with good weathor he
will be pioklng in ten days.
"If nothing happens in the
next two weeks wo will make a
fine orop," said Mr. Viok.
Tne King's Early Improved
seed used by Mr. Viok was sent
him last spring from Washington
by Congressman Randell. Mr.
Yickls muoh elated ovorhia suc
cess with this seed. Tho plants
are strong and healthy and bid
fair to yield three quarters of a
bale to tho aore.
ORGANIZE AND DIVERSIFY.
UnqloSam: I desire to sug
gest an idea, as the News is' an
Open Forum. The farmers do
not want to do any man a wronp,
and our organization is not a war
on tho morohant or the town,,
but for tho purpose securing di
versification in farming, and
larger and better markets and to
better our condition socially,
financially and intellectually.
'We aim to get.in touoh with the
wholesale-dealers in dr produce
and be able to ship direck to the
industrial centers, and by being
organized- wo are able to load
oars and got a-good priae.
Theway we have been dribbirig
out our p'roduoe is ruinous. If
wo can. inoreaso our profit's on
the farm, Wo. Will have more
.moneyed spend with our mer
chants, and tho mortgage will be
a thingof the past, and prosper
ity wil rattfk, he.. progress of-
town and. ooqntry.fc, ' , ,
How.jJijin we farmera-bocome
happy with the mortgage system
whjoh forces us to pay 60 per
cent for credit. Don't do it,
brother farmers', lot us organize'
and loam to diversify and quit
the mortgage business.
Raising cotton is a thirteen
months job while other crops oan
bo mado in GO days and get the
monoy for.it. Our watohword
should be organize, eduoato, oo

ORDER OF MASONS
j
Annual Mooting of The Grand
Lodge at Claromoro Will
Be Unprecedented.
TO ERECT AN ORPHANS HOME;'
Order HaB Had Wonderful-
Growth During Past Two
Years and All Subordi
nate Lodges Are In
Favorable Con
dition. Tho annual meeting of the
grand Lodge of Masons, b:ing
he)d at Claremore Aug. 0 to 12
inclusive, gives promise of being
the largest in the history, of the
order in Indian Territory. Thero
has been awonderful growth of tho
order within the past two years.
The last report of the grand
master contained the following
data whioh is of interest:
"On the fifth of Ootober, 1874
representatives of1 Muskogee
Lodge of Eufaula lodge; Doaks
ville. Lodge, then located at
Doaksville, but now meeting at
Grant, and Caddo lodge of Caddo,
for the purpose of forming a
grand lodge of Ancient Free and '
Acoepted Masons of Indian Ter
ritory. The combined member
ship of these lodges was less than
100. On the 7th of September
1875, the first annual communi
cation of this grand lodge was
hold at Eufaula. Notwithstand
ing the faot that we surrendered
jurisdiction to half of our territo
ry when the grand lodge of Okla
homa was organized, we have in
creased our membership and
number of lodges over 4,000 per
cent.
The annual report of Grand
Master Brewer will show that tho
order has nmde rapid strides dur- .
ing tho past twelve months, and
that the subordinate lodges, arei
in a prosperous condition.
Where Others Failed
"Each spring for five or six,-','
years I broko out with a kind of .
Eczema which nothing seemed to. .
relieve permanent'. Finally I
tried a box of Hunt's Cnre, and it
promptly cured me. Two years
have passed by but the trouble did
nor returned."
