H. O. MILLER ANNOUNCES FOR
REPRESENTATIVE.
In this issue appears tne announce
ment of H. O. Miller of Noble town
ship for the democratic nomination
for representative, subject to the ac
tion of the primary August 4th.
Mr Miller came to Oklahoma ten
years ago. He moved here from Cot
ton county several years ago and
purchased the Jim Jackson farm in
Noble township. Today he has one
of the best improved farms in the
county. He has devoted his life to
fanning and has made it a success.
Mr. Miller is well posted on Okla
homa affairs and can be depended up
on to work and vote for those bills
that will be beneficial to his consti
tuents.
He is a broad-guaged man who ha.-
the ability and foresight to size up a
question from all angles.
In Mr. Miller the democracy of
t leveland county have an opportunity
to vote for a candidate who will hon-
estly and conscientiously represent
the entire people in the legislature.
To Investigate Hookworm.
Recently the State Commissioner
of Health has been able to interest
the R ockefeller Sanitary Commission
in the Hookworm in Oklahoma. It
is possible that they will cooperate
with the state commissioner of health
in making a hookworm survey of the
state for the purpose of ascertaining
whether hookworm is present to am
extent in Oklahoma. This state is in
the latitude and longitude where
hookworm is found, but for the re.1
son that we are a new state and one
that has only been recently settled,
most of our population having In
come domiciled in Oklahoma within
the last 25 years, it is hardly possi
ble that this disease, which conies
from soil pollution to a great exteir.
will show anything like the percent-
age that has been found in our neigh
boring states in the same latitude and
longitude It is possible that it will
be found among those who were art!
icted with this disease before tin > im
migrated to Ok!..!i >ma
If this disease is found in Oklaho
nu and our virgin soil is being pol
luted, it will then present a problem
that honlf] be dealt with and that
immediately. It will be nothing short
of criminal carelessness on the part
of . ity. county and state if we fail
to profit by the experience of older
state- with this disease.
The state commissioner of health
hopes to see this campaign properh
organized and the work initiated
within the next few days, and hopes
to enlist the support and cooperation
• >f all Oklahoma citizens that we may
have same positive and definite in-
formation relative to this disease that
is so easily prevented \n ount e of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
! <>r several years past with the
opening of spring, clean up campaigns
have been organized in many of our
Oklahoma towns. For an organiza-
tion of this kind to be effective and
efficient, it must be well supported fi-
nancially and encouraged with a fa-
vorable public sentiment. Those in-
terested in an organization of this
kind should remember that to be suc-
cessful preachers of the clean up doc-
trine, they must themselves be willing
to put into practice what they preach.
If they would help the cause of sani-
tation in their community they must
first of all see that their own premises
art- in a clean and sanitary condition.
If any of the organization's main-
tain a stable with a manure pile for
the hatching of flies. they should not
complain if a neighbor permits an of-
fensive closet to remain 011 the rear
of his lots; neither is it sufficient,
when pushing a campaign of this kind
that the members of the organization
clt an up and place in a sanitary con-
dition their home premises and ne-
glect their rental property, and per-
mit them to become either a private
or a public nuisance To be effective
n a clean up campaign, we must first
cease to offend against sanitary laws
ourselves
Those interested in clean up cam-
paigns should remember that there is
occasionally found a hog in the hu-
man family; and while it is true that
some animal trainers have succeeded
in educating hogs and exhibiting
them, yet it is also true that the hog's
keeper is responsible for his situation,
and no keeper has ever been success-
ful in teaching a hog hygiene. Neith
< r should they become discouraged
in dealing with these human hogs, for
it is only too true that he is frequent-
ly a prominent and influential citi-
zen. who is combative in spirit fond
of an argument, and stands upon his
rights as an American citizen, and
strongly resents anything that he
considers infringes upon his personal
liberty. But even he can be removed
by strong public sentiment, and tin
courts, and made to so live as not ti
endanger the health, life, peace and
comfort of his neighbors
Swat the fly is a very popular sl<.
gan: but remove the manure piles
and old out door toilets, the garbage
heaps and kitchen garbage and keep
your town free of these incubators
for the hatching of flies, and there
w ill be no occasion to "swat the fly."
Do away with the source and the re
suits will take care of themselves.
Men who build a high board fence
are accused of building a spite wall
but what about the fellow who wants
to run a stock farm on a 50 foot lot
right next to you and fill your dining
room with flies every meal time.
Of what is he accused!'

Sorghum Varieties That Yield Profits
In a little bulletin on "Kafir. Milo
and Feterita Culture," prepared for
the boys and girls in the A. and M
College Boys and Girls Agricultural
Club contests. Prof. V. C. Harten-
bower of Oklahoma A. and M. Col-
lege has the following to say about
varieties:
"Two types only of kafir. the black
hulled white, including the standard
and dwarf strains, and the red. have
been generally and profitably grown.
1 he black hulled white is doubtless
superior as a stover, grain, and drouth
resistant plant, though it may mature
somewhat later than the red kafir.
But one well marked type of milo
has been introduced and successfully
grown, known as 'milo or yellow
maize.' The seed commonly sold as
'dwarf milo' is none other than the
•How milo of humid sections which
has been changed by environment
from producing a plant from six to
nine feet in height to no more than
from four to six feet in dry sections
Milo was originally a good seed crop,
ilthough inferior to kafir corn as i
forage plant My continued selection
the size and pithiness of the stalks.
tendency to produce suit- branches
and to stool, the scarcity of large
leaves, and the habit of producin _
pendent heads, have been at least
partly overcome and milo, though not
yet equal to kafir as a forage plant, is
much adapted to the uses of the
erage farmer for forage and grain.
"But one well marked type of feter
has been introduced Seed selec-
tion has been given little attention,
and consequently the inherent charac-
teristics ,,f the plant are still promin-
ent, Among these we have First. th<
production of suckers, second, side
branches; third, shattering: and fourth
inferior forage production when com-
pared to black hulled kafir. By the
use of rational methods many of these
undesirable characteristics may be
overcome and feterita of different
tples be placed upon the market."

Meat Consumption Per Capita Less
in America than in Australia
and Argentina.
The only countries reported as
having a greater per capita consump-
tion of dressed meat than the United
States arc tin \ustralian Common-
wealth and Argentina These, it is
well known, .ire countries of sparse
population and vast herds and flocks
hence mea< is exceedingly cheap and
the nati\ consumption large and
probably wasteful
The per capita consumption of
meat f«;>r Australia and Argentina i-
estimated to be in the neighborhood
of 250 pounds per annum it may pos-
sibly be even greater. The corres
ponding consumption for the United
States was computed by the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry to
be 1/2 pounds in 19()9, and it is esti
mated to be about 10 pounds less at
the present time This is much great-
er than the British consumption, tin
gest in Europe, which is slightly
under 120 pounds per inhabitant pe.

County Agents Not Chiefly Advisers.
( ount\ agricultural agents are
sometimes referred to as 'county ad
visers. I his implies a misunder-
standing of the real work of the agent
\«l\ ■ r\ u(>rk is a part "i <!:< agent -
duties, but is a minor part. The coun-
ty agricultural agent has about hall"
a dozen principal functions
1. lie studies the agriculture of the
county to learn what is being don
and what is worth while agricultural-
ly in each part of it This study in-
cludes farm maiicial and organiza
tion surveys.
- He gives the results of his stud-
its to farmers, not in the way of ad
vice, but as facts observed and con-
clusions drawn. This is done through
the local press, lectures, institutes,
irculars, short courses, and personal
interviews.
Based on these local studies and
the ascertained needs of the comity,
luhs. associations, and the like are
irganixed and the individuals solicit-
ed to undertake definite lines of agri-
ultural improvement on their own
tarins Organizations are also formed
^operative buying and marketing
and the standardization of farm pro
ducts.
•1 He endeavors to coordinate all
existing agricultural agencies within
the county, so that all may work unit
edly and efficiently.
5. He develops local leadership.
I he task of improving the agriculture
of an entire county is so stupendous
that the agent must be primarily an
(administartor. He must inspire and
| accept the help of voluntary assist-
ants in work.
6. He acts as the connecting link
between the scientists of the research
institutions of the state and nation
and the farmer, presenting the re-
sults of investigations in such a way
j that the farmer can use them, and
1 calling attention of scientists to tin
local agricultural problems of the
county and soliciting their assistance
7. He gives advice. This may re
late to spraying, seed treatment, mix
ing fertilizers, combating insect pests,
cultural practices, or other miscellan-
atters which are the stock in
trade of every well-informed agen' ]
The giving of advice is seventh on •
the list, because in actually improving •
the agriculture of the county it is ]
probably of least importance tliom-h '
in point ..f time it may be fit it work <
undertaken.
