A blushing B&B One-time brothel now is a bed and breakfast By Mike Nichols Guests at the Pallmer Inn Bed & Breakfast in Holdenville might blush if the history of the rooms were posted. The unassuming inn resides in the same structure that once was home to fancy women and their paramours. The name Pallmer is the original owner’s incorrectly spelled surname – descendents claim the name should have been Palmer, but the man was illiterate and did not recognize the spelling error. He operated the brothel in the Roaring 20s, specifically between the time the structure was erected in 1923 and sometime before the end of the roguish era. The brothel closed with a bang — actually the repeated reports from a gun Palmer used to shoot and kill a customer he argued with over one of the fancy women. Legend says when Palmer and the customer argued over a woman, the customer became so angry he left to get his gun to settle the dispute. Palmer sent word to police, but armed himself. The customer returned with his gun before police arrived, and Palmer shot him once. The man wasn’t fatally wounded by the single gunshot, and begged Palmer not to kill him. “Palmer emptied his gun in him,” says a soft-spoken Bill Johnson, who along with his wife, Meryl, own and operate the bed and breakfast along with the adjoining Lamplighter Dinner Theater. The Johnsons completely restored the former Holdenville “Rat Row” buildings to their original 1920s style, focusing on the elegance and simplicity of that bygone time. It was about a two and one-half year project. The old brothel, which also had
been a hotel, and the adjoining building were in such a dilapidated state that the roofs were too unstable to be walked on safely. Johnson, who has been a painter, remodeler and plumber in addition to being an educator and missionary, didn’t own the buildings. He was first contacted by the previous owner to do some repairs. The previous owner showed him the buildings, and he remembers thinking they were “kinda neat” with potential. After some serious consideration, the decision was made to purchase the property and begin the lengthy reincarnation. The Johnson’s inspiration for the project came from recent restorations of old Harvey Houses that once thrived along the railroads of the southwest at the turn of the century. There once were 84 Harvey Houses scattered between Oklahoma and California along the railroads, offering travelers a breath of civilization as they traveled through the Wild West. With a coy grin, Johnson says the undertaking was “crazy, I think.” He and his wife and a friend did all the renovation themselves, turning a proverbial sow’s ear into today’s silk purse. “I think it’s a good thing,” he says. “We’re doing a service for our community.” Part of Johnson’s pride in the business relates to his sense of history. He believes Oklahoma is just now becoming old enough to take interest in its history, and that “we should do all we can to preserve it. “Holdenville was a thriving community during the oil days. Things around show to grander days.” The bed and breakfast takes guests back (Bed and breakfast, Page 3)
A GRAND PURCHASE — Oklahoma Farm Bureau and Blue & Gold Sausage teamed up to purchase Jarod Cole’s grand champion crossbreed barrow during the March 18 auction of the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the world’s largest junior livestock show. The 11-year-old El Reno 4-H member received $25,000 for his barrow. Pictured, from left, are Coach Barry Switzer, OFB Director Scott Dvorak, Blue & Gold’s Brett Ramsey, First Lady Kathy Keating, Lt.

SUPPORT RECOGNIZED— Oklahoma Farm Bureau was honored March 18 at the Oklahoma Youth Expo for being the volume buyer during the 2001 premium auction.

OFB is major buyer at Youth Expo premium auction Oklahoma Farm Bureau once again was a major buyer at the 2002 Oklahoma Youth Expo premium sale March 18 in Oklahoma City at the state fairgrounds. The premium sale is the culmination of the world’s largest junior livestock show, awarding youthful exhibitors of the top animals premium money for their efforts with their livestock. Prior to the sale’s first animal being auctioned, OFB President Steve Kouplen accepted the 2001 Volume Buyer Trophy from Gov. and Mrs. Frank Keating. The trophy recognized OFB for purchasing the most prize-winning animals at the 2001 auction. “We welcome the opportunity to support our young people by purchasing their prize-winning animals,” said Kouplen, president of the state’s largest general farm organization. “The young people who exhibited the top animals sacrificed and worked hard to succeed with their projects, and we hope our backing will encourage these outstanding young people.” The exhibitors of the prize-winning animals Farm Bureau purchased were: • Jarod Cole of El Reno for the grand champion barrow, which was a crossbreed. (Farm Bureau and Blue & Gold Sausage teamed up to buy this animal.) • Jerrod Arthur of Chickasha for the champion Maine-Anjou steer. • Jerod Dow of Waukomis for the champion Angus steer. • Clay Hooper of Mt. View-Gotebo for
OFB Director Scott Dvorak of Perry placed the winning bid on Jeremy Cope’s Charolais heifer. Cope, a member of the Tipton FFA, retained ownership of his prize-winning heifer after the show. Exhibitors of prize-winning market barrows, wethers and steers forfeit ownership of their animals that make the premium sale. the champion Chester White barrow. • Kari Wendt of Kingfisher for the champion Dorset wether. • Ethan Heisler of Pawnee for the fourth place Simmental steer. • Daniel Standlee of Meeker for the fourth place Maine-Anjou steer.
• Jeremy Cope of Tipton for his champion Charolais heifer. • Lindsay Morrow of Morris for her champion Beefmaster heifer. • Trey Gallaway of Mulhall-Orlando for the champion Gelbvieh heifer. • Dalton Nichols of Cleveland for the
Farm Bureau lauds renewable fuel standard measure The American Farm Bureau Federation has applauded a Senate energy measure that would dramatically increase the use of farm-grown renewable motor fuels over the next 10 years – a boon for America’s farmers, consumers and the environment. “The proposed renewable fuel standard, which requires the use of 5 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2012, is a coup for American agriculture and greatly boosts
American energy independence,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman. “We have worked a long time for this.” Stallman said support from President Bush and the petroleum industry, combined with the strength of farmers and ranchers across the country, will help make this long-sought goal a reality. He said benefits from the new renewable fuel standard are multi-faceted.

“Ethanol and soybean-based biofuels are gentle on the environment - they are the products of corn and soybeans grown in American soil, by American producers,” said Stallman. “And, without question, the economic benefits to our producers could be huge. Some studies show corn prices could jump 11 percent, while soybean prices could rise 12 percent from this expanded market.”

Oklahoma farm numbers rise, size decreases The number of farms in Oklahoma in 2001 totaled 86,000, up 1,000 from 2000, according to the Oklahoma Agricultural Statistics Service’s March 2002 report. The Service reported farm numbers in the economic class between $1,000 and $9,999 of sales were up 1,500. The number of farms with sales in the $10,000 to $99,999 economic class fell 500 to 26,000 from 2000, and farms with $100,000 or more in sales were unchanged from 2000. The Service reported that the total land in farms remained unchanged from 2000 to 2001 at 34 million acres. The average size of a farm dropped five acres to 395 in 2001. Small farms, with sales of $1,000 to $9,999, dropped in size to an average of 122 acres, with the number of farms in that category increasing to 54,000 in 2001 from 52,500 in 2000. Medium size farms, with sales of $10,000 to $99,999 also dropped in size to an average of 527 acres from 2000’s 558-acre average. Their numbers also dropped by 500 to 26,000 in 2001. Large farms, with sales over $100,000, increased in average size by 200 acres to 2,283. The number of farms in that category was unchanged in the report, standing at 6,000. The number of farms in the United States fell to 2.1 million, down 0.7 percent from 2000. Total land in farms, at 941.2 million acres, was down 1.9 million acres.
Former OFB Director Johnnie Ragan dies at age 92 in Waurika Johnnie Ragan, a former member of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau board of directors, died March 14 in Waurika. Services for Ragan, 92, were held March 16 in the Hastings Baptist Church. He served as district four state director from November 1966 until retiring in November 1981. Ragan was a rancher and farmer, before age forced his retirement. His wife preceded him in death in June 2000. Ragan was a Mason and a Past Master of the Masonic Lodge. He attended the Baptist Church.
Bed and breakfast mirrors grander days (Continued from Page 1) to the “grander days” Johnson mentions. All of the furnishing are antiques the couple has amassed on frequent trips. The stairways from the lobby and tearoom meet to lead to the bedrooms upstairs. Those who want to capture the “true” feeling of the past can opt to stay in one of two diminutive rooms left their original size, which share a toilet and separate clawfooted bathtub. The other four rooms have been enlarged and include their own baths. Each room has its own explicit character, adorned with antiques ranging from a simple brass bed to a distinctive carved canopy-covered bed. “It’s not such a fast pace. They can turn back the clock. There are no phones, video games, radios or televisions in the bed and breakfast.” Antique furnishings in the lobby offers guests a place to sit, thumb through books, read a newspaper, play a game of checkers, work on the jig saw puzzle or simply relax. Breakfasts, served on antique China, are special. Johnson promises guests they “won’t get any honey buns here.” Hearty spreads of ham and eggs, bacon and eggs and other traditional favorites fill the breakfast tables. For those who can’t get enough of the savory food of the bed and breakfast, dinner is just through the curved-top double doors at the Lamplighter Dinner Theater. Unlike the adjoining bed and breakfast, the theater is open only Thursday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Reservations are suggested when entertainment is planned. Since opening last year in late August, theater entertainment has featured everything from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author to recording artists to native American dancers. The bill of fare is different from meal to meal, but usually centers around the choice of a grilled steak, chicken or pork chops. Dinner is served on linen-covered tables on mismatched antique China. “We serve a very nice meal,” says Johnson. “People who’ve been here say we serve a better steak than Pete’s Place in McAlester. “Overall, I feel very proud to be here. It’s a nice place.”
Hughes County Farm Bureau members Meryl and Bill Johnson pose on the brickcovered street in front of their bed and breakfast at 311 W. Oklahoma in Holdenville. The bed and breakfast adjoins their dinner theater. For information, contact the Johnsons at 405-379-9977.

Oklahoma Agriculture Hall of Fame inducts Henry Jo VonTungeln
Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin presented Henry Jo VonTungeln his Hall of Fame plaque.
Oklahoma Farm Bureau Director Henry Jo VonTungeln was inducted into the Oklahoma Agriculture Hall of Fame March 20. The Calumet wheat and cattle producer is the fifth recipient of the state’s most prestigious agricultural award. A sixth generation family farmer, VonTungeln and his wife, Donna, have hosted hundreds of international visitors during trade missions to the state. He has also traveled to Europe, Africa, South and Central America, Canada, Mexico, Israel and most recently China promoting Oklahoma agricultural commodities. “Henry Jo is the most well known ambassador of agriculture in the state and he has certainly made a difference in the arena
of foreign trade,” said Lt. Governor Mary Fallin. “Last year as the U.S. was easing trade sanctions against Cuba he was on his way there to promote Oklahoma wheat sales. The very first sale of American wheat to Cuba after the sanctions were relaxed came from Oklahoma.” The VonTungeln family also is well known for their culinary skills that they use regularly to promote wheat. Each year they use over six tons of wheat flour to bake bread products for trade shows, dignitaries, fairs and civic events. VonTungeln’s more than 50 years of service to his industry has earned him some of the top posts in the nation’s leading wheat organization. The board of U.S.
Wheat Associates, an organization with 15 offices around the world, elected him to serve as secretary-treasurer in 1999 and he now serves as chairman. Closer to home, the Canadian County Farm Bureau elected VonTungeln president over 45 years ago. It is a post he still occupies even though he has tried to hand the leadership role to others over the years. His fellow Farm Bureau members will not allow him to leave as their president. An active civic and church leader, he initiated plans to create the Heaston Rural Water System and has served as his church’s chairman of the board and Sunday school superintendent for the past 25 years.
OFB sponsors Softball Challenge featuring 4 top collegiate teams Collegiate softball in Oklahoma just got a lot more competitive. Oklahoma Farm Bureau & Affiliated Companies has teamed up with the Oklahoma City All Sports Association to create the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Softball Challenge, a premier event featuring some of the top college softball programs in the country. Oklahoma State University and University of Oklahoma softball teams will challenge Fresno State University and the University of Arizona during the April 1617 event at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. What makes the Softball Challenge so challenging? Three of the last four national collegiate softball champions are in this tournament. “OU won it in 2000, Arizona won it in
’99 and Fresno State won it in ’98,” said Matt Wilson, Oklahoma Farm Bureau & Affiliated Companies executive director. “Oklahoma Farm Bureau is going to help the Oklahoma teams challenge the best the country has to offer.” Oklahoma Farm Bureau & Affiliated Companies is no stranger to working with the Oklahoma City All Sports Association in sponsoring outstanding athletic events. Last year, the two organizations created the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Baseball Bash at the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City with some of the top collegiate baseball teams in the nation. Jack Thompson, Oklahoma County Farm Bureau member and president of the Oklahoma City All Sports Association, said there’s much to be excited about.
“We’re really excited about the relationship and partnership of Oklahoma Farm Bureau and the Oklahoma City All Sports Association, and we will have an exciting event that people will want to be at for years to come,” Thompson said. Bob Jarvis, manager of events for the Oklahoma City All Sports Association, said the popularity of collegiate softball has grown throughout the country and especially in Oklahoma due, in part, to the University of Oklahoma’s national championship in 2000. 000405037 The Softball Challenge kicks off April 16 at 5:30 p.m. with OU taking on Fresno State. OSU will compete against Arizona in the nightcap at 7 p.m. On April 17 the
Oklahoma teams will swap competitors and time slots, with OSU challenging Fresno State at 5:30 p.m., and OU wrapping up against Arizona at 7 p.m. Affordable ticket prices back up the idea of a family-oriented sporting event. Fans can catch all four games for $18, or if they prefer a single night with two games, the tickets cost $10. Oklahoma Farm Bureau Softball Challenge tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the OKC All Sports Association office at 405-236-5000.

Spring has arrived, signaling the beginning of the busy season for many Oklahoma farmers and ranchers. It also means motorists once again will see more farm machinery being moved on public roads. “Farmers and ranchers are sometimes forced to take slow moving equipment on our roads to get from one field to another,” said Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety Director Larry Pittser. “State law affords them the right to move their equipment on our roads and state highways.” To protect both farmers and motorists, Pittser said the law requires slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblems to be displayed on all equipment moved on the roads at speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. “The fluorescent orange triangle in the center of the SMV emblem is highly visible in the daylight,” said Pittser. “At night, the red border reflects the headlights of approaching vehicles.” Some farmers also use amber strobe lights and reflective tape on their machinery to help give motorists an earlier warning. “When motorists see the SMV emblems, strobe lights or reflective tape they should act accordingly,” said Pittser. “There is little time to react when you’re in a vehicle traveling 65 miles per hour that’s approaching a piece of farm machinery, usually moving at less than 20 miles per hour, on a road during the daylight or nighttime. “So, when motorists see one of the emblems or other warning devices they should react quickly.” He said some farm equipment operators have difficultly seeing traffic approaching from the rear because of the massive size of their equipment. “It’s important that motorists maintain proper following distance and wait to see where the machinery operator intends to go. I would also urge those moving machinery on roads to be diligent and make every effort to watch for traffic approaching from both the front and rear, and pull over when it’s safe so built-up traffic can pass.” Many accidents are caused when vehicles come over a hill and run into the back of a piece of farm equipment or when a driver tries to pass just as the equipment operator makes a left turn. “It seems each year we hear about fatalities when a motorist collides with a piece of farm equipment. These accidents happen when motorists are in a hurry. Taking time to slow down and to be aware can help avoid many of these needless tragedies,” Pittser concluded.

OFB delegation to lobby Congress About 80 state agricultural leaders will travel to the nation’s capital April 14-18 to discuss agricultural issues with lawmakers as a part of Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s Congressional Action Tour. The leaders will discuss agricultural issues – particularly the farm bill – with the Oklahoma congressional delegation. “This year’s trip comes at an opportune time,” said Jeramy Rich, OFB public policy director, “since conferees are meeting to discuss the Senate and House farm bill versions. The vote could come at about any time, maybe even when our group is there.” Both the Senate and House have passed their own versions of the farm bill. It is currently under consideration by a conference committee that will draft a compromise between the two versions. Farm bill conferences typically take less than a month to finish. Rich said the House and Senate farm bills differ substantially on some issues of top concern, and many feel that the conference negotiation will be the most important phase in the quest to replace the 1996 farm bill, which expires in September. The House bill, H.R. 2646, totals about 400 pages, and the Senate bill, S. 1731, with all the amendments passed during Senate consideration, weighs in at about 1,300 pages.
“Our leaders will express strong opinions on some aspects of the two different pieces of legislation that are of great concern to Oklahoma agriculture,” he continued. The OFB delegation will urge the state’s members of Congress to work to oppose provisions in the Senate bill which transfer water rights from private hands to the federal government, and will also ask that language placing limits on payments to cotton, rice and peanut farmers be deleted.
The farm bill affects many of the most basic needs of the American public – food, health, the environment and domestic security. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, in addition to farm programs and trade provisions, farm bills typically include sections on food assistance, conservation and the environment, rural development, research and education and provisions such as global warming, food safety and animal health and welfare. Rich said the group also will urge the state’s delegation to support trade promotion authority (formerly fast track) for the president. “That will put him back in the driver’s seat for the WTO negotiations that begin early next fall.” The Oklahoma group will meet individually with all members of the state congressional delegation as well as top U.S. Department of Agriculture officials and American Farm Bureau Federation staff and leaders. Many members of the OFB group are county presidents or hold other leadership positions. Others are Women’s Committee members or representatives of the Young Farmers and Ranchers. “This definitely will be a working trip, getting our leaders involved in the policy process right in the nation’s capital,” Rich concluded.

Farmers, ranchers won’t change their daily routines since they observe Earth Day daily The owners and operators of the some 84,000 farms and ranches in Oklahoma likely will treat Earth Day — April 22 – the same as any other as they tackle their daily routines. “Generations of Oklahoma farmers and ranchers have cared for the environment,” declared Steve Kouplen, Oklahoma Farm Bureau president. “We are environmental practitioners, true guardians of the earth’s resources that we manage carefully everyday to earn our livelihood. We won’t do anything different just because it’s Earth Day.” Oklahoma farmers and ranchers protect and promote a healthy environment for the some 34 million acres of land in the state where they produce a bounty of food and fiber. The conservation of natural resources and the use of innovative agricultural methods occur regularly. “Agriculture is producing more on a fewer number of farms, and I believe that speaks well of our efforts to conserve and improve earth’s resources. Each farmer produces enough April 22 food and fiber for 129 people today compared to just 26 in 1970. To me,” said Kouplen, “that is undisputable evidence agriculture is a responsible and caring steward of the land we 2002 will pass on to the next generation.” Earth Day first was celebrated in 1970. It was set aside to remind each person of his right to the use of the earth and at the same time the equal responsibility to preserve and improve it. “That first Earth Day was set up to respect and protect the earth and to remind everyone to act as trustees of their portion of the planet,” said Kouplen. “But over the years, I think the ‘environmental movement’ it gave rise to has mired agriculture and the nation in a bureaucratic web of regulation that is based primarily on emotion with little scientific basis.” According to the Center for the Study of American Business, there were some 54 federal departments and agencies and more than 130,000 federal employees in fiscal year 2000 that spent over $18.7 billion writing and enforcing federal regulations. Total regulatory costs for the year were estimated at $808.6 billion, of which $267 billion represented the cost of environmental regulations. “We have regulations in place which impact nearly everything we do,” said Kouplen. “For instance, the Endangered Species Act has terminated farming operations, stopped highway and other construction projects and infringed upon individual property rights since it was enacted in 1973. A report I read said not a single imperiled species has been saved. “There is still much to do, but things are getting better and better despite what some media and environmental organizations are saying,” he added. “We have cleaner water, soil erosion has been reduced and our food supply is safe and abundant. Wildlife also is flourishing, and we in agriculture provide food and habitat for 75 percent of the nation’s wildlife. “April 22 is the official Earth Day, but farmers’ and ranchers’ calendars contain 365 Earth Days each year,” Kouplen concluded.

BOXING IT UP -- Members of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Women’s Committee worked feverishly to prepare box lunches they distributed to members of the Oklahoma Legislature and their staffs for the annual Farm City Festival March 19. The Committee used an assembly line to prepare the 350 lunches members hand delivered to each office. Each box held a handmade sandwich, bag of vegetables and dip, fresh fruit and home-baked cookies. The construction of the dome on the capitol prevented women from hosting their buffet line, which has become a traditional favorite over the years with lawmakers and their staffs who would stand in line to fill their plates with homemade goodies. In this photo, Kathryn Floyd, left, and Merle Henderson, right, prepared and boxed the sandwiches before pushing the containers to other Committee members pictured in the background, including Phyllis Holcomb and Beverly Delmedico on the left, and Jacque Pope, right.

Oklahoma grocery prices rise, but remain far below national level By Mike Nichols Oklahoma shoppers spent more at the checkout counter for their groceries during the first quarter of 2002 than they did a year ago, but still paid substantially less than the national average. The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Marketbasket Survey of grocery prices for the first quarter of the year showed the total price of the 16 selected items hit $30.62. That was $3.07 more than the same items cost during the first quarter of 2001, but it was a whopping $5.40 lower than the national average price. Volunteers from the OFB Women’s Committee conduct the informal quarterly survey as a tool to track retail food price trends. Although retail grocery prices have shown an increase over time, the amount of the food dollar received by farmers and ranchers actually has dropped. According to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture data, the farm value of each dollar spent on food in the country is about 19 cents, which is down significantly from 41 cents in 1950 and 31 cents as recently as 1980. The inaugural national survey, conducted by volunteer Farm Bureau shoppers across the nation during first quarter of 1989, found the cost of the 16 items was $28.50. Despite the $7.52 increase recorded to date, consumers still enjoy affordable
food prices that are generally in line with the overall inflation rate. “We hope consumers realize that food still is their best shopping bargain,” said Beverly Delmedico, chairman of the OFB Women’s Committee. “Consumers spend

The lowest total was $25.37 while the highest was $34.68 for the same 16. However, the state’s highest total still was below the national average of $36.02. Oklahoma shoppers stopping at the meat case saw big savings compared to the national average. While the national average for ground chuck was $2.17 per pound, it only cost Oklahoma shoppers $1.26 per pound. State shoppers found a similar good buy on sirloin tip roast at $2.61 per pound
it was $2.84 in the national survey. Poultry shoppers in the state also paid less for whole fryers. The cost here was 70 cents per pound average compared to $1.07 nationally. The refrigerated section held lower prices for Oklahoma shoppers than the national average. A gallon of milk averaged $2.65 in Oklahoma while it was $2.81 nationally. A pound of cheddar cheese averaged $3.06 compared to the $3.54 national price. A dozen large eggs averaged 72 cents in Oklahoma, but $1.05 in the national survey. Oklahoma shoppers continued their savings compared to the national survey when they bought red delicious apples. They averaged 69 cents a pound here com-
pared to 97 cents. A 5-pound bag of russet potatoes averaged $1.94 in Oklahoma stores compared to $2.17. A 10-ounce box of Cherrios averaged $2.60 in Oklahoma stores but was $3.01 in the national survey. State shoppers found a 5-pound bag of all-purpose flour at an average price of $1.25, 13 cents lower than the national survey. A 20-ounce loaf of bread, at $1.27 average, was only 3 cents less in Oklahoma. Cooking oil prices in state stores also averaged less than the national survey. A 32-ounce bottle of Mazola oil was $2.18 here but averaged $2.43 nationally. A 32ounce bottle of Crisco oil was 39 cents less in Oklahoma, averaging $1.83. Kraft mayonnaise, the final item in the survey, was 6 cents per 32-ounce jar lower than the national average in the Oklahoma, averaging $2.93.
