PASTURING WHEAT.
This work was started at the Okla-
homa Experiment Station the fall of
1902 and will be continued several
years. Due to the exceptionally wet
season, the plans as laid out were in-
terfered with and had to be modified
for the occasion. "During the whole
bvason, with the exception of very
short Intervals, the ground was too
wet to pasture without tramping it
quite badly. Some few farmers took
the precaution of turning their stock
on their wheat only when the ground
was frozen but these times were few
nml of short duration, and most of the
fields of wheat In this locality were
pastured continuously and much of
the time the stock would sink into the
mud as deep as the ground was plow-
ed.
The plots with which our experiment
was carried on were located In -a field
of wheat belonging to a farmer who
lived a short distance from the station.
The land might be said to be third
bottom, rather a heavy soil, somewhat
flat in location but fairly well drained.
The wheat was seeded late In Sep-
tember and early in October. The
ground had been plowed and heavy
rains at the time of seeding settled
In and put It in fine shape and gave
the whoat a good start. Seven and
three-quarters inches of rain fell in
November and the month was extraor-
dinarily wet. By the first of December
the wheat had made a moderate growth
and the owner of the field turned horses
and cattle into the field at this time;
some care being taken to le£ them on
in the mornings when the ground was
frozen and remove them for a portion
of the day during times when the
ground was very soft. This precaution
was not followed very closely during
the latter part of the season. The
spring growth of wheat made a good
start early In March and the pasturing
was continued until March 31, when the
stock was removed. The field was well
trampfd and eaten over and was full
of tracks two and three Inches deep.
For use In our experiment half-acre
plots were laid out In the above field
and each plot fenced, with the excep-
tion mentioned later, so that they could
be pastured as little or as much as we
desired with the stock running In the
flleld, by leaving the gates on the plots
open or shut. The following Is the
treatment given the different plots and
the efTect.
Plots II, vm, and IX—Field Pastured.
These plots were unfenced and all
received the same treatment, as the
rest o fthe field in which they were lo-
cated, which has been noted above.
I-lot VI—dleavy Winter Pastured
This consisted of the cattle being
turned unto this plot in December and
being allowed there most of the time
until February G. During that time the
ground was badly punched up and the
wheat cropped off fairly close. Taking
the stock ofT In the early spring close,
the wheat a chance to get a good early
Btart.
Plot III—Light Winter Pastured.
This consisted of allowing the stock
o nthis plot a few days early in Feb-
ruary when the ground was in fair
shape and it was tramped up but very
little.
Plot I—Late Spring Pastured.
This treatment consisted of trunlng
the stock on this plot March 31, and
then shutting five or six head of cattle
on the plot April 8th and every day
thereafter until the 14th. with the ex
ception of the 10th when the ground
was too wet. At the time of turning
the stock on. the growth was fine and
l.iri.e and when the stock was taken
orr the wheat was eaten very close to
the ground, and the ground tramped
„ more or less.
plot II—Very Light Wnter Pastured
and Late Spring Pastured.
This plot was treated the same as

pastured a few days early in Febru-

Plots IV and V—Not Pastured.
As might be inferred, at no time
during the season did these plots have
any stock on them. While there was
a fairly vigorous growth on these plots,
at no time did reach the stage where
there was any danger of it smothering
out or lodging ike wheat which is not
pastured does quite frequently in this
country.

The quality of the wheat from the
spring pastured-plots was quite infer-
ior to that of the others, testing 58 lbs.
while that from the others tested from
to 63 lbs. per bushel. The un-
pastured plots were the earliest In ma-
turning. but were very little different
from the others, with the exception of
the spring pastured plots, and as com-
pared with these there was several
No rust or chinch bugs bothered
these plots to speak of and everything
as favorable for a good crop. The
continued wet weather might be said
have made the conditions for pas-
turing unfavorable, but It was quite
fortunite that rains continued up to
harvest so as not to allow the ground
bake after being tramped while wet.
Just about the time the wheat was
heading, the ground was getting quit«>
dry and if this Ittle drouth had not
been broken Just when It was by abun-
dant rain it is doubtful if the wheat
the pastured ground would have
been worth rutting. If the conditions
had been suitable for the development
of the rust, the pastured plots, particu-
larly the spring pastured, would have
suffered much more than the plots not
pastured.
THE WEBWORM ON COTTON AND
ALFALFA.
On the 18th of une it w is reported to
the experiment station that a web-
worm was doing considerable damage
to the cotton In some parts of Lincoln
county, but no specimens were sent to
the station for Identification. Since that
time a webworm has appeared on cot-
ton and on alfalfa near Stillwater. This
has been identified as the so-called
garden webworm, Pyrausta rantalls.
The natural food of this! Insect seems
to be some of the species of pigweed.
In the first reports of damages by this
insect this season it was stated that
the "worms" seemed to go to the cot-
ton from weeds. The United States
Entomologist has stated that this cat-
erpiller will probably never do serious
damage to cultivated crops, except
where these weeds have been allowed
to run wild for a season or so and
are then plowed under and the lands
planted to some useful crop. It Is pos-
sible that the growth of weeds In the
first planting of cotton, which was des-
troyed by the wet weather, was the
means of multiplication of the first
brood of caterpillars this season.
The remedy for all leaf-sating cat-
erpillars is to spray or dust, the leaves
with Paris green. The simplest me-
thod of applying the Paris green which
has been extensively used is by sifting
tfrom sacks of coarse ducking mater-
ial attached to the ends of a stout pole
which is carried across the saddle by
a man on horseback and constantly
Jarred by rapping on the pole with a
club. By using a pole long enough to
hold four sacks, four rows are some-
times dusted with the poison at once.
rpiija method is described in detail by
the Mississippi Experiment Station as
follows:
"Make two sacks of heavy cloth, each
about ten Inches long and four Inches
In diameter, open the whole length of
one side and firmly sewed at the ends'.
We have found 8-ounce osnaburg the
best cloth for the purpose. Take a
strip of oak or other strong wood about
1 1-2 by 2 inches and five feet long,
and more a one inch hole 5 inches from
each end. Tack one of the sacks to
each end of the pole, fastening one of
the edges of the opening to each of the
narrow sides of the pole.
"The sacks can be filled by pouring
the poison through a funnel Inserted in
thp holes through the poles and distri-
buted by riding on horseback through
the cotton rows, dusting two rows at
a time. A little practice will enable
one to do this work very evenly, and
care must be taken not to allow the
sacks to touch the leaves when wet or
the poison will not pass through. When
the sacks are freshly filled a very slight
Jarring will shake out a sufficient
amount of the poison, but when they
are nearly empty the pole should be
frequently and sharply struck with a |
short stick or spaces in the rows will be
missed.
"When used in this way we have
found It the best plan to use the poison
without any admivture of flour, and
if flour is to be added lighter ololh
should be used in making the sacks.
"With a pole and sacks as described.^
one man and mule can poison from 15
to 20 acres per day."
Where the caterpillar works on al-
falfa It Is usually checked by remov-
ing t from the fleld with the cut al-
falfa. When this is done it is found
important to cut the hay uniformly
close to the ground.
CHECKS FOR MIGRATING CATER-
PILLARS.
The "garden webworm," previously
reported to have attacked a crop of al-
falfa at the experiment station, was
observed, after the crop has been
greatly damaged, to be migrating into
some adjoining plats of cotton, and
various methods were tried for pre-
venting the caterpillars from destroy-
ing the cotton.
The most satisfactory barrier to the
migration was a dust furrow, in which
a log was dragged as often as seemed
desirable. In most cases where these
insects are found to be migrating, this
will probably be the most particular
method of dealing with them. Lines
of tar and other sticky substances were
tried, and were found to be effective
as long as they remained sticky, but
they required to be renewed too often
for practical purposes.
Paris green was applied to the cot-
ton plants which the worms were not
prevented from reaching. It seemed
most effective when applied in a
spray. For this purpose 8 pounds of
slacked lime were thoroughly mixed
with a pail *>f water; four ounces of
Paris green were mixed with a small
quantitl of water and added to the lime
in water; and the mixture was added to
and thoroughly mixed with, a half bar-
rel of water. While constantly stirred,
this mixture was sprayed on the cotton
plants with a nozzle which under-
sprayed the leaves. Paris green was
also applied .to the leaves by a powder
blower, and by sifting through a bag.
The use of Paris green and other asr-
enites may not prove profitable for
treatment of large fields, but may be
very useful which the caterpillars are
traveling.
A DISEASE OF THE PRIVET.
Some of the privet hedges of Still
water are being greatly damaged, If
not destroyed, by a fungous disease of
n sort which is called "anthracose",
Ths fungus of this disease attacks
and kills the bark and wood of the
stems. Starting at a point on the stem
It spreads through and around the
stems'. When the leaves of the plant
first begin to wither, the place attacked
by the fungus may often be located
Just below the lowest o? the withered
leaves and above the green ones. If
;here are any such on 0ie shoot. Close
inspection reveals the fact that the
bark is slightly shrunken at the point
of Injury, and, if the stem be sliced
lengthwise, the diseased wood and bark
will be found to be discolored, while
that below, If healthy, will be fresh,
and that above simp'' seasoned. The
wood above the point* of the first at-
tack dries out, and the fungus seem;
to spread down the stem to the
o fthe plant, and from there to
roots and stalks.
they then cause the simple grape juice
to become wine and the apple Juice to
be changed into cider.
He is likewise interested in the etudy
of food. It Is probably true that he Is
more interested lu finding out what
foods "taste good" than he Is in food
alues; but a little Judicious manag-
ing will lead him from the one to the
other.
If he is a wide awake boy and reads
the papers diligently he may have
found out that Prof. Atwater of Conn,
has claimed to discover that alcohol Is
a food, while the boy's own text book
teaches that alcohol is not a food. Here
is a chance for argument that he will
not be slow to make use of, and here
Is a chance to show him that this dis-
covery is valueless. His teacher may
tell him that some people are calling al
cohol a "technical food" or an "aca-
demic food" and he will probably have
as clear an idea of the meaning of these
terms as the average person. But it
will be better to give him an illustra-
tion. Sulphur at the tip of a match, as
he knows, will help it to burn—sul-
phur when thrown into the stove, as
he may not know, will extinguish fire.
One of the best known physicians of
the world likens the action of alcohol
to the sulphur. "Alcohol undergoes
combustion in the body, but at the
same time it tends to lessen the com-
bustion of other things," in other words
it puts the fire out. And ao, he says,
while alcohol might be termed a tech-
nical food, it Is not a convenient food,—
or has no food value.
Our hypothetical boy will also be In
terested in the fact that a large shoe
firm advertises In Its shoe boxes that
it will guarantee its shoes under all or-
dinary circumstances, but not If they
are exposed to beer. This leads to the
knowledge of the fact that beer will
rot leather almost as rapidly as i '
eats Iron. "The Sunday chool Times"
startled many of Its readers a few
months ago by the statement that "beer
ate the fingers off the bartender and the
shoes from his feet." This caused a re-
quest for the facts which would Justi-
fy such a statement, and lead to the
announcement that New York hospital
surgeons have had a large number of
cases of bartenders losing ieveral fing-
ers of both hands within the past few
years as a result of the action of the
acid and resin of the beer.
These are merely suggestions of the
numerous facts concerning alcohol,
narcotics, etc., which may be presented
to a school. The "Century Series of
Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene" has
been prepared with special reference to
this work. The School Physiology

TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION
Numerous questions arise
rgical operations is greater than in
the subject of temperance instruction tne rase of a temperate person. ..
European rountries are beginning to
vhenever I of si
t|the «
is mentioned. From this multitude we
will select a few typical queries. Does
the teaching of temperance come under
the province of the public schools? Is
not temperance a question of morals
rather than of science—a question to
be dealth with by ministers, reformers,
Sunday school teachers, perhaps; but
not by teachers of the public schools?
Whether a question of morals or of
science may not be of sufficient import-
ance to demand * n answer here; but
it is often true that a teacher needs
to be a reformer and that in all cases
he should be a former of charm t".-.
It Is the recognized business of the
public schools to help make g>
ofetaoin
these good cit*,e.i -
statesmen, some ot
some of them Inventors,
vorkmen. They may be
may become s
zens. ome o
may become
them soldiers,
some of them
better statesmen if they can recognize
the wisdom of Lord Roseberry of Eng-
land when he says that, "If the state
does not control the drink traffic, the
drink traffic will soon control the slate."
They may be better soldiers if the"-re-
alize that Kitchener did a wise
when, upon receiving several hund-j
reds of barrels of iquor for his army
in Egypt, he sent the stuff back to the I
brewers at their expense. They will
see that they can be better workmen if
temperate when they learn that Eng-
land is attributing her lack of success
in the world's competition to her
drunken workmen.
Again it is the business of the pub-
lic schools to look out for the phy-
sical as well as the mental well being
of the pupils. If intemperance la in-
jurious to health, they should k.iow it
just as certainly as that bad air is in-
jurious. Some of our high school boys
were having a discussion on this sub-
ject one day and one of them suggested
that drinking did not seem to hurt
some people and mentioned several
eminent men as examples; but the arg-
ument was soon brought to an end by
another boy Impressively replying.
"You can't be sure that it Is not going
to hurt you until after you are dead."
The testimony of life insurance com-
panies is decildedly u/ifavorable to the
healthfulness of alcoholic liquors.
Physicians generally acknowledge
that while a beer drinker may be a
picture of health he has but little pow-
er of resisting disease and the risk
wake up to the question of intemper
ance. The Belgium public schools have
set apart one day of the year as
"Pledge Day," when each scholar over
twelve years of age Is Invited to take
the total abstinence pledge In the pres-
ence of his parents. Evidently these
people believe in temperance teaching
in the public schools.
But what do we mean by scientific
temperance teaching? Is it pledge
signing, lectures on the evils of intem-
perance Illustrated by thrilling stories
the recitation of temperance homes
etc? These may all help the temper-
ance cause and yet not be scientific
teaching. In the first place scientific
teaching must be systematic. Hence
the plan of instruction is a regular
course of study carefully graded from
the primary department to the high
school.
It has seemed unnecessary to many
persons to begin the instruction at so
early a period; but according to the
report of Dr. Harris, National Com-
missioner of Education, the average
time during which children in this
•ountry remain in school is not quite
lve years. And those children who
re-' leave school so young are, in many
eed j cases, the very ones who will receive
nd- j no temperance instruction at home.
Therefore, aside from the advantage of
presenting the subject at an impressible
age, is the fact that many children
would never receive this temperance
instruction if not given in the first
years of their school life.
As the children grow older the temp-
tations to use cider, beer, cigarettes
qtc., becaome more numerous and need
to be combated by appropriate instruc-
tion. I say appropriate instruction be-
cause 1 fee! that there is a great dan-
ger at this period in indulging too
much in what the boys term "preaching
temperance," and that the teacher
needs a great deal of skill and tact In
presenting the subject rightly. This is
the place where the scientific side of
the question needs to be emphasised.
Scientific facts will often appeal to the
boy of this age more than moralizing.
The average boy is interested in look-
ing at things through a microscope—
he knows something of fermentation,
yeast plants and the like and Is ready
to learn more. He is interested in
knowing that there are living vegetable
ferments of microscopic size on ih* out
side of the grape and apple—that these
do no harm until they are washed
into the pressed out fruit juice—but
INDIAN TERRITORY
* RAPIST RETURNED
DOC CARTER BROUGHT BACK TO
FACE CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
A great part of this result has been
brought about by education in the pub-
lic schools.
Yet the consumption of beer In this
country is Increasing, some one says.
Do we at the same time realize how
the foreign population of this country
is Increasing? De we know that In the
last eighty years more than twenty
millions of foreigners have entered our
country. Do we realize that there
are more Italians In New York City
alone than in the city of Rome? The
relation of the foreigner to the liquor
question is generally understood. The
publio school is one of the great agen-
cies In Americanizing this foreign born
population, and the need of temperance
Instruction Is apparent.
In New York state a careful canvass
has been made as to the results of the
temperance Instruction, and positive
proof was presented from every county
save one of the good done by this in-
struction. Favorable reports are giv-
en by other states. England has be-
come Interested in this educational
work, and Englishmen are advocating
the education of the children of their
land against strong drink.
The process is slow. We wish It were
more rapid; but we believe it leads to
ultimate success.
The achievement of the plan rests
with the teachers of our country.
America has great faith in her schools.
May they Justify this faith.

KANSAS WON'T
AIP THE KATY
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Ardmore, I. T., Sept 18.—Yesterday
morning United States Deputy Marshal J.
N. Jackson brought In Doo Carter from
McCracken, Kan., chargcd with the rape
of his niece, MIhs Ada Johnson, on June
2, last, at McMillan, I. T. The relation-
ship makes Johnson really guilty of In-
cest, also.
The story of his most diabolical crime
Is short. We are told that Carter, who
lived near Pauls Valley, went to see his
sister. Mrs. Johnson, ot McMillan. He
stayed all night and the next morning
Mr. Johnson left home for some place.
Miss Ada, Just lfl years of age. and a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and
niece of Carter, went out to the garden
to gather oma vegetables. Carter, It
seems, followed, and the garden being
some distance from the house he assault-
ed the young lady, and, despite her re-
monstrances, accomplished his purpose.
Mr. Johnson soon returned and followed
Carter on horseback with a shotgun, bull
lout track of him.
The postmaster at Pauls Valley was
notified to look out for letters directed to
Mrs. Carter. Doc's wife. Soon one came
with the postmark of McCracken. Kan.,
on the envelope. After a short lapse of
time another came bearing the same post-
mark. Then one came In from White
Brad addressed to Mr. Carter at Me-
Crackln. Mrs. Carter lived only a short
distance from Pauls Valley and doubtless
thought If she mailed her letter at White
Pearl no one ut Pauls Valley would ever
know it. But she was not nware of the
fact that Pauls nVlley was the distribut-
ing point for White Brad and the Pauls
Valley postmaster saw the letter address-
ed to Doc Carter. McCracken, Kan.
With this Information a1* to Carter's
whereabouts the deputy went to see Mr.
Johnson at McMillan and told him what
he had foutid out, and as Uncle 8am could
not pav the marshal's expenses out of the
territory without a grand Jury warrant,
Mr. Johnson put up the new"n-v ex-
pense money and Deputy Jackson left
for his man.
Doc Carter Is now safely In the United
States Jail at this place where he w l/l
Boon have an examining trial before Com-
missioner Robnett.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 18.—The attor-
neys for the defendats in the suit
which the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway company expects to bring to
obtain possession of land In the In-
dian Territory, have refused to con-
sent to the use of the of Kansas as
one of the plaintiffs. Governor Bail-
ey declared some time ago that he
would refuse the railway company per-
mission to use the name of the state
unlesa the use of the name should be
satisfactory to the defendants. Ne
word to that effect has come from the
defendants and the name will not be
used. The railway company is seek-
ing possession of every alternate sec-
tion of land within ten miles of Its
right of way through the lndiatt Ter
ritory and seeks to make Kafir a
plaintiff to the suit since Kansas te the
home of the company.
