 Opportunities 



Governor Ferguson of Oklahoma says: 



*x 



"The truck gardening industry is one that has not been developed to any extent whatever in Okla- 

 homa, though it is known that there are wonderful possibilities for the specialist along that line. 

 Onions, cabbage, tomatoes, beans, peas, sweet corn, and, in fact, all kinds of vegetables can be grown to 

 perfection in large quantifes for shipment. Experienced truck gardeners- cannot find a better location> 

 land values, local markets, climate and other things considered, than may be found in Oklahoma to- 

 day. 



"While the natural conditions are highly favorable for the production of butter and cheese, the 

 opportuni y for specialists in these lines seems to be neglected, or at least overlooked. Thousands of 

 pounds of butter are shipped into the Territory nearly every month in the year, while cheese actually 

 comes in by the carload. Creameries and cheese factories would find a steady demand for their pro- 

 ducts right at home if properly conducted, and, under good management, could not fail to prove profit- 

 able as investments." 



What Governor Ferguson says in regard to truck gardening and dairying ap- 

 plies with equal force to the raising of poultry and fruit. The demand far exceeds 

 the supply. The average Oklahoma farmer pays little or no attention to them. 

 Cattle, cotton, wheat and corn these are his products and he concerns himself 

 with little else. Right here are a thousand opportunities for men and women who 

 have had experience in these lines. Little capital is needed, the climate is kindly, 

 the work is pleasant and the rewards are large.
