OUR FLAG SALUTn.
/ pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic
o
absence, as they were very busy
with their growing crops. How-
ever, a few farmers happened to
be in town and the meeting was
held in thecoiumercialclubrooms,
presided over by C. A. McNabb.
The subjects assigned for dis
cussion was that of forage crops
and included alfalfa, cow peas,
Soy beans, etc , all proving to be
subjects of much interest as the
general discussion showed.
Mr. McNabb is an enthusiast
and could not utter too many
eulogies on alfalfa, which he re
gards as one of the grqat pro
ducts of the soil of Oklahoma
The subject of "Alfalfa" had
been assigned to F. P. Sylvester
who failed to arrive.
Avery full and free discussion
of the "hows" of Alfalfa, took
place, indulged in by Messrs.
McNabb, K. Reynolds, of Center
township, C.F. Timm of Columbia
township, Harvey Utterback, .).
A. Marsh, of Kingfisher township,
Mr. Haskell, of Center township,
and others. The Clipper re
grets the absence of so many of
our farmers, who we know would
have enjoyed tfie discussion,
some of whom might have "bene-
fitted those present by a recital
of their experiences.
The next Insti tuto will bo held
in July, at Dover where the sub-
ject of fruit growing will be the
chief matter discussed.
Mr. J. A. Marsh, vice presi-
dent of the Kingfisher County
Farmers' Institute read the fnl
lowing pajier which lie kindly
permits us to publish:
Mr. Chairman:—
For this occassion lam allotted
the subject of cowpeas: First
method of harvesting and . hand-
ling for hay:
It is lily experience that the
vines should not be cut until the
first seed pods are ripe, and a
few of the lower leaves are yel
low, and beginning u> dropoff,
because, if cut sooner, they will
be very difficult points in regard
to the feeding value of the finish
ed product. Do not cut sooner
^ unless you wish to avoid that al-
most impossible tangled moss,
which sometimes results from
extra good condition for h^avy
growth as we had last year. Cut
with your mower run low. If
men with forks may handle whole
bunch without separating or
tenring it open. If you use
sweep rake, make your bunches
large. If heavy rain comes,
causing the bunches to settle,
closely to soil, wait till dry on top;
then turn with your hayrake.
When ready to stack, handle
when soft with dew or a moist
atmosphere and they will not
waste and will settle firmly in
the stack. Put them in or near
your your feed lot and feed
them first as they will not turn
rain. If you think you must
cover them, use straw, millet,
sorghum, or any other rubbish
tit only for protecting a valuable
crop like this. Hut do not use
shingles or boards or if you do
they will mount higher and
higher in price till no one hut
the lumber trusts can afford
them and they only to build,
sheds for their money. In other!
words cowpea hay is too bulky
for a prairie farmer to shed only
as above advised. The feeding
value of cowpea hay is about 1-5
greater than clover: somewhat
less than alfalfa and wheat and
bran. In other words, out of
one hundred pounds of this hay
there is 51.0 pounds of available
food. Clover about 4.") pounds.
Alfalfa about Till.13 pounds. Wheat
and bran 57.5. Now don't stop
ine to express your doubts, sur-
prises, or pleasure, us the case
may be. This is the results of
chemical tests in the laboratory.
There is some difference in the
value of a food, you will find ac-
cording to where you take it for
analysis. Animals place greater
value on these foods. I mean
clover, cow pease, and alfalfas,
compared to wheat or bran than
the chemists do. For instance,
in actual test in feed lot, alfalfa
has proven to be equal to wheat
bran pound for pound, when
fed to cattle, and I have reasons
to believe that the cow pea is
also its equal. I will not sHy to
the chemist, "Go to the ant, thou
sluggard," but rather, "go to
the cow, thou dullard, and learn
more directly from her laborat-
ory, the animal digestive organ,
how Nature's unerring anallyt
which it stands; one nation—indivisible—with 11 her 11
and justice for all.

Considering its cost on the aver-
age upland farm, the cowpea has
no rival for adding fertility to
the soil when the crop is fed on

bottom lands except alfalfa. To[and oth«r remedies, he h me
save the all important seed, j still guessing. I know no rem-
edy.
In comparing soy beans with
cow pease as to relative value it
depends very much on what you ' j "ity not. only proved
If you want hay
pick the pods by hand as they
ripen and tramp them out with
your feet, and clean them by
winding them. Or, if you don't
like that, cut the whole vines as
for hay and flail them and clean
as above. Then, after you have
tried this plan, you will not like
it. Let tiiem stand until leaves
have all fallen off, then take a
wheat header, or make one of
your binder. Clip the vines off
low enough to get most of the
|xids, Flail out and clean as be
fore. Hut I dislke to think aud
talk of disagreeable things so I
hope you may excuse ine for us
ing language more forcible than
eloquent when I characterisse
the seed proposition as a tough
one. 1 consider that good seed
ought to bring fi.OO per bushel
and they-are well worth it to
almost any farmer who wants to
make a living from his farm and
who is not farming just for the
honor or fun of it. It has often
been stated 'he cow pea while
growing has no insect enemies.
So far as the vine and the leaf is
concerned this statement is
about true. Hut the growing
seed in the pod is often eaten
l>.V a worm like the corn worm
and it may be identical. Then
there is the soldier hug or slink
bug, a cousin of the squash bug
on one side of the house and
close kin to the chinch on the
other side and intermediate in
size between them. He, like all
of his family, is a vampire, a
blood sucker. And when he is
numerous ho is as murderous
and destructive as any of his
kint^. The, little pea or bean
weevil you are no doubt acquaint-
ed with and would no donbt like
to give him a cold shoulder.
Well,,shut him up in an airtight
vessel and he will
want. If you want lia.v there
no doubt that the pea has the ad
vantage, because it yields more
aud r'cher fodder. 51 U pounds
and 45 5 pounds in one hundred
as chemists tell us. But if it is
o concentrated food you want,
the order is reversed and lie*
soy bean is far away in tin. I. ad
not of cow pease but every other
grain or nut grown for food in
the known world. I heartily
commend the soy bean to your
consideration believing it has an
important, place to fill and t.li"
sooner you put it in that place
the better for you.
In conclusion, I wish to con-
gratulate you on the happy
choice of the suhje.-,t oel'ore tills
meeting.' And 1 fondly hope
that many, if not all of you, will
visit and tak.* part in this your
county institution next session
to he held in the near future al
Dover where you will have the
opportunity of discussing such
beautiful, elegant, luscious, Ira-
grant and fascinating things as
fruits and flowers.
Heavy Rains.
Saturday night and Sunday
morning avery heavy rain fell in
this vicinity and seemed to lie of
a general nature At Kingfisher
Uncle John and Kingfisher [must he del
easy to decide.
The Democratic pat ty lias
been on trial for months in their
Constitutional Convention and
their primary campaign. In the
Coi-.vention tho Democratic ma
i ilea pa hie
of calm and dolihorale judgment,
but turned into a hear garden
what should have been a solemn
anddignifi.il assemblage The
work of that body stamped the
Democratic party of the new
State not, only as h.capable
and melt,, it-ill hut as vicious and
dislu.hest. There was no
thought atnonji the nuij. rily ol a
square deal for the whole pen
pie. The only thought was foi
party advantage and personal
ambition iSuciia party should
not, obtain perpo!.ual control of
the vState as it would do if thai
Constitution were in!opted.
The Primary campaign has
shown tl.e Democratic party in
even a worse light. It, has been

liet urns had scarcely begun to
come in from the various coun-
ties on tho democratic primaries
until the democratic battle cry
••Fraud" went up. Charges
were freely made of ballot box
stuffing, false returns, counting
out votes, etc.
It, is but natural that inen who
had prepared a constitution
whi'-li provides for the disfran-
chisement of ;ji>,000 republicans,
should a.-ruse one another of
fraud and it is equally natural
liould resort to fraud.
Men who would write'a theft in-
in the fundamental law of the
stale would not, hesitate to steal
from each oilier.
Dishonesty has marked every
step in connection with the fram-
ing ol a constitution and prepar-
ation by its I'rainers to put it in-
to force. Tho delegates were
not honest with congress but
tried in i vory possible way o
avoid complying wnli the pro-
visions ol the enabling act and
Liiey have attempted to trick the
president and congress. A dis-
honest, shameless division of
unties was made reeking with
jobbery.
Members of the convention
to'az oiy boasted of having so
gerrymandered oile stale, that
the republicans could carry the
slate by it.I,OH) and still the dem-
ocrats wou id control the legisla-
ture They made it possible for
ilie legislature to disfranchise
thousands ol citizens at will.
Individual members sneered ut
the courts aud threatened local,
out, ru lii ins with guns to sup
press them.
The very moirentthe conven-
tion adjiui'iicd the most shame-
li'ss campaign ever waged was
oegitu. Democrat charged dom-
ical of all the crimes oil tile
statute books and tile candidates
w ere literally robbed. . The dem-
ocratic pipers, taking ou the
spiiit of graft show.i by the
delegates, sold their columns to
the managers of campaigns and
a horrible season of character
assassination was inaugurated
and to make matters worse the
men who suffered most from
these unmeasured auacks paid
thousands of dollars to have it
done Now, that these corrup-
tionists have held an election
they are giviii" free vent to
charges of fraud, all of which is
probably truo. This is a condi-
tion to make patriotic citizens of
the coming stale hang their
beads in si i a me.
