Association has been organized to handle the proposition and If the first of their tracts are disposed of to the satisfaction of the parties interested other tracts will he laid gut and planted and put on the market There has never been any doubt that this section of Oklahoma will raise peaches and other fruits in abundance and it was only necessary to demonstrate the fact by having a wide a wake hustler of the calibre of our friend Jackson to start the ball rolling By the sub-division of large tracts contemplated it places the raising of fruit in the bands of any one has the stability and stamina to lay by a few dollars each' month This will in a few yenr9 enable the thrifty clerk farm boy merchant banker or professional man to acquire one or more of these tracts at a cost that one

Broken Arrow is the best location Although the farming land is valuable they have not hesitated In coming here to start their project This industry handled as we have outlined will give a large number of people the opportunity to own a small fruit farm and not know how they paid for it As we have already mentioned this proposition appealB not only to the men or women who can purchase only a small
