[AT] Disk Plow or One-Way Plow

[Cecil R Bearden]

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are exactly right.

Then when they found that there was oil under it, they gave away 160 
acre parcels to people who could run to the 4 corners of the 160,  pull 
the markers and return to the land office by the next day to claim the 
land.   There were several areas that the distance could not be covered 
in the time allowed by the method of transportation.    In a nutshell a 
lot of the SW area of OK was settled by outlaws.  They just stole the 
markers from the settler on his way to the land office.   This also gave 
people who had no clue about how to farm or even live away from 
civilization a free farm at the expense of the Indians.
That's why I say that the State of OK was settled by the biggest bunch 
of Ne'er do wells that ever drew a breath.  If you can make it in this 
state, you can make it anywhere....
