Cleveland county, last year winner
of first place in the county products
exhibition at the Oklahoma State
Fair at Oklahoma City is one of the
most important agricultural counties
in Oklahoma. There is almost no
crop or plant now being grown in
Oklahoma that cannot be raised suc-
cessfully in this county according to
a statement made Thursday after-
noon by James Lawrence, county
I'arni demonstrator who i.s traveling
over the county at all times during
the year, assisting the farmers, point-
ing out to them how they could im-
prove their methods of farming and
helping to carry out tests of all
kinds.
In addition to being an agricul-
tural county, Cleveland county is one
of the leading stock raising and dairy-
ing counties in the state. Great de-
velopments are being made each
year by the farmers in stock raisin;:
and dairy work. Large quantities o:
garden products arc also being ship-
ped to Oklahoma < itv by the farm-
ers in tli< northern part of the coun-
ty and along the intcrurban line.
Milk, butter and eggs are also sup-
plied to the ()klahoma City house-
wife by the ' leveland county farmer
in large quantities.
Many Products Raised.
Cotton, corn, alfalfa, kafir, feterita",
sweet cane, wheat, oats, sweet and
Irish potatoes, onions, cabbage,
squash, beans, pefts, and all other
kinds of garden and field products
.ire being raised successfully and ir
great quantities by Cleveland coun'y
farmers each year.
Sudan grass and clove- are also
raised. Sweet clover, according 10
Mr Lawrence, will help more th; .i
anything else to furnish permanent
past ti rage for the (leveland county
;tock raisers. In addition to furn-
ishing good feed for cattle, clover,
both white and yellow, although
white is proving the more successful,

soil, leaving the plant matter ther
to enrich it. Clover is considered b
expert agriculturists to be a better
soil builder than alfalfa. In fact they
consider it equal to alfalfa in every
way except that it is not as good a
hay plant.
Must Enrich Soil.
The soil in this county must be
"rebuilt and revenerated" according
to Mr. Lawrence who is contsantly
observing the soil as he travels over
the county each day. More live
stock is needed on the ( leveland
county farms. "All farmers of Ok-
lahoma need to learn that they will
make more money and keep their
farms in better condition if they put
legs on their products and walk it
off than by hauling off the raw pro-
duct. The stock is needed to help
enrich the soil."
Clev eland county farmers are learn-
ing to raise practically rverythinp
they eat in their own gardens, and
are forgetting the early settler meth-
od of eating garden truck out of a
tin can and drinking milk from a tin-
cow. The Cleveland county farm dem-
onstrator told of eating at manv
tables during the past summer where
everything, with the exception of
salt, sugar and pepper was raised by
tlw farmer and that the meal
"good enough for a king."

All of
scale J.
the trains are traveling und
orders and no information is being
•n out by railroad officials. When
a reporter approaches they look wise
and try to appear uninformed. Mon-
day forenoon members of a machine
gun company of the first regiment of
the Wisconsin national guard pass-
ed through Cleveland county.
The pmpty coaches are being "dead
headed" back through Oklahoma,
looking far less war-like t ban tjicy
when they were being hauled
south. The train crews also refuse to
:, saying that they were given
orders to take charge of the train at
Guthrie and will receive new orders
be relieved at Purcell, the next
division point of the Santa Fc.
The guardsmen themselves, out-
ile of a few officials who refuse to
lk, do not know where they are
>und for but they do know that they
are going to a country warmer than
they have been living in. Many of
them suffer from the heat and some
have not been fully furnished with
military clothing. However all of the
citizen-soldiers seem to be happy,
and are not worrying about the dan-
gers they may have to pass through
should they be thrown across the
Mexican border.
Wednesday aft ernoon a train of
troops, with a number of cars of
horses passed through Norman at
full speed, not slowing down while
inside of the city limits. Some of the
soldiers threw postal cards and let-
ters to watchers as the train passed
through Norman, and these cards
were mailed. Often all that card says
is "that they are on their way but «l
not know where they are or where
they are going."

GOVERNMENT DAIRYMAN
VISITS COUNTY FARMERS
T. W. Moseley Spends Two Days
Traveling Over Cleve-
land County.
T. \Y. .Moseley, of the United
States department of agriculture, was#
in Clevelard county Thursday an.1,
Friday assisting James Lawrence,
county farm demonstrator, in helping j
to develop the dairy industry in thi • j
county. Mr. Moseley is employed by
the department at Washington to
spend his time traveling over Okla-
homa in tlu section of the state from
which all ticks have been eradicated,
aiding the farmers in building up |
their dairy herds. Me has been as-
signed to work in this state for one
year now and already has visited
many farmers and will visit many !
others as soon as possible.
The government's demonstrator i
has his headquarters at the Oklaho-
ma Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege at Stillwater. He left Norman
Wednesday afternoon for Mays coun-
ty where he will continue this work.
Mis work is to encourage the stock-
man to secure better blood in their
herds, lie is emphasizing the pktc-
ing of pure bred sires at the head of
each herd.
In order to determine the efficiency
of each cow. he is having the fann-
ers make tests an d keep records on
production sheets so that the un-
profitable animals may be cut out of
the herd and no "star boarders" re-
tained to eat up the profits of the
other members of a herd. He states
that while the farmers of Cleveland
county are far in advance of the
farmers in many of the other coun-
ties in Oklahoma, they still have only
made a beginning in scientific dairy-
ing and that only by continual at-
tention can the herds of this county
be brought up to the'highest point.
Mr. Moseley is familiar with the
papers of all kinds of milk produc-
ing cattle and can also tell whether
or not an offspring of blooded ani-
mals are proving true to type and
should be retained in the herd, lie is
taking up the work that the govern-
ment promised to the people of this
section of the state some sixteen or
seventeen years ago when the gov-
ernment started to make the fight
against the tick.
From the New York World:
John J. O'Connell, chairman of the
Progressive New York County com
mittee, has raised the standard of re-
volt against Col. Roosevelt and the
leaders who prevailed upon the pro
grosive national committee to nomi-
nate Mr. Hughes for president after
Col. Roosevelt had declined to run
against the former justice of the su-
preme court, nominated by the re
publicans. New York county has the
largest en rolled membership of any
progressive organization in the Unit-
ed States. The county chairmen from
all the five boroughs of greater New
York are supporting Mr. O'Connell
and from state and county chairmen
all over the country he has received
letters urging him to lead a fight
against the action of the progressive
national committee and expressing
their opposition to Mr. Hughes.
By John J. O'Connell.
The Progressive National commit
e does not really represent the rank
and lilc of the progressive party. It
is under the control of the men who
liberally supplied of their wealth
create the organization they now
seek to destroy. Events show that
their motives were not so pure as we
believed. There seems to be grounds
for the charge that the men who fin-
anced the progressive movement in
1912 did so to get even with the re -
publicans for the things that the Taft
administration did to the steel trust,
and that these same men have now
swung back to the ranks of the stand-
patters to punish the Wilson admin-
istration for the enactment of the
banking and currency law, which the
republican party does not dare to op-
pose, but which it will immediately
repeal if Mr. Hughes is elected and
it Is returned t
The Blind H
Fancy a national committee made
up in part of men who are on the
payroll as "canvassers for the devel-
opment of the situation" in various
parts of the country, and of men who
are blind hero-worshippers and have
no glory in the world except what is
republicans accuse Mr Wilson. Be-
sides which, if the voters will take
the trouble to examine the record
they will find that Mr. Wilson has to
his credit in the four years of his ad-
ministration pretty nearly .is much
progressive legislation as w is enacted
in the eleven years of the Roosevelt
and Taft administrations
Another important consideration is
that the rank and lile of the progres-
sive party are stoutly opposed t
lowing the supreme court of the Unit-
ed States to be made a stepping stone
to political preferment F.vcn th°
manner in which Mr Hughes uo'
his high office in seeking the noinin i
t ion for president was in itself not
such as would appeal t<> sincere and
red-blooded Americans.
Heretofore when members of the
supreme court have aspired for an of-
fice they came out in the open and
sought the nomination like any other
man. If it was wrong to aspire to
the nomination from the supreme
court bench, it must be wrong to ac-
cept it. Mr. Hughes has shown that
all along he was anxious to be nomi-
nated and yet he conducted his cam-
paign in a mysterious un- Xmericau
and fuliginous manner and by mctli
ods familiar to the high 'priests of in-
visible government.
Judges Who Becon
This issue of dragging the
court into politics is going to be a
[very important one as far as the
[progressive voters are concerned. If
Mr. Hughes is elected it will be great
jly because of the prestige that In-
service as a justice of the suprcn c
court gives him in the minds of tli •
voters. An appointment to the su-
i preme court of the United States is
I and ought to be the highest badge of
| character, of wisdom and of intcg
j rity of purpose that any American
citizen can obtain. It should not 1
used as an indorsement of a purely
political candidacy. If it is so to be
used every president from now o
who has to make an appointment t
the supreme court will not only weigh
the qualifications of the candidat
„urists—as men learned in the law

W. D. HUMPHREY
W. I). Humphrey is a candidate
for the short term for the office oi
Corporation Commissioner and that
means that he wants to serve again
a most important office. Hum
phrey is fortunate in having in spil-
ed the public confidence and he has
le many staunch friends during
liis present term, and if he is not
lected it will evidently be because
the voters do not understand the im-
portance of the office and are un-
familiar with Humphrey's qualifica-
tion s—or evidence will have been
produced and believed that shows
Humphrey is not entitled to the vote
that his apparent ability and record
entitle him to get
The Fxaminer is not advising its
readers to vote for Humphrey but
it is advising them to study Hum-
phrey—and all thc caandidates for
this most important office— very
carefully and then be prepared to
cast an intelligent ballot.
The office of Corporation Com-
missioner in the state of Ok
is an office that carries
sponsibility and the man who holds
the office should have good, sound
judgment, be absolutely incorrupti-
ble, free from narrow bias, and then
possess that peculiar qualification
that makes a good public officer out
of one man and a poor one out of
another, without any one really un-
derstanding why.

social justice which is in their hearts
What could be more absurd thai
the comic opera attitude of those pro
gressive leaders who say they will
support Hughes because they place
the welfare of their country above
the welfare of their party? I have
heard a great deal of talk about
Americanism and preparedness, and
I have heard at least one of thc pro-
Hughes progressive leaders denounce
President Wilson as a traitor to the
country, but surely neither American-
ism nor preparedness can ever be
made a political issue in the United
States and no party is going to win
votes by accusing the president >f
being a traitor.
