CHlI.occo STl:DE"TS ARE TRLE PATRIOTS
19ti° ng about tbe middle of June, when our
-191 school ,ear was drawing near to
a close at Chilocca, fields of ripening grain
were beckoning willing hands to come and
~"'i~ tbe golden han-est. Fields of ripening
thO en "'Wheat waving a welcome salute to
b e hungry world alwavs looks beautiful,
w ut It seemed that the harvest of thi, year
a 'd e:en more. beautiful than e.ver before,
An ~ e know It was more precIOUS to the
mencan people,
w~t was at this harvest season of the year
ot en bor from tbe farm department and
her d,epartments as wen, were gi,en an opportlUUty
by II r, Lipps to choose home or
the harvest. After ten months of strenuous
school life-ten months away from hometen
months away from father and mother,
the incHnation to choose home must have
been very strong, but a great number chose
the harvest. These soldiers of the farm have
shown by their sacrifice that they are true
American boys and that there is not a drop
of slacker blood in their veins. They have
shown by their diligent work that they are
true patriots and they realize the great responsibility
that rests upon the farmers of
our land.
We have about 40J acres of wheat land
under preparation for fall seeding. We have
plenty of help for the sowing, but we are
wondering where the help ,,;11 come from
in harvesting as most of the large boys will
likely be inducted into the army. Perhaps
,orne of the Chilocco girls will volunteer
their services to operate binders.
THE VALLE or FARM PRODVCTS
~e\'er were farm products in such demand
as now, and the prices the farmers are receiving
for these products are very adequate.

at $2.03; oats, Oc; corn $1.80; prairie
hay, baled, choice, from $20.00 to $25.00 per
ton; alfalfa hay, baled, $30.00 per ton; oat
straw, baled, $8.00 per ton; wheat straw,
baled, $5.00 per ton.
Choice hogs sold in Oklahoma City, at this
writin~, for $20.35 per hundred; corn fed
steers are quoted at $17.50 per hundred.
Farm dairy produce is now bringin~ fancy
prices, likewise poultry and eggs.

The Fourth Liberty Loan.
