CLEARING THE DOCKET.
When the present administration in
Oklahoma was confronted with a con-
stantly increasing supreme court
docket a plan was evoked and a law
passed by the legislature to re-create
the supreme court commission, in-
crease its membership and provide
that the governor might call in dis
trict judges in number not to exceed
twelve at any one time and for per-
iods not to exceed four months in an
effort to cut down the docket and
bring the work of that heavily bur-
dened department down to date at
the earliest possible moment. It is a
pleasure to record the fact that this
plan is succeeding admirably and with
only a part of the divisions fully em-
ployed for the full period of three
months since the legislature adjourn-
ed to note in a comparative report
su nKted by the Chief Justice that
the docket is being rapidly cleared.
The following statement giving the
number of cases filed and the number
of cases disposed of is very encourag-
ing and shows an approximate per-
centage of cases disposed of annually
over the number of cases filed of
j.56 per cent If this percentage of
gains continues (and it will probably
increase) there is much satisfaction
in knowing that the docket will be
, cticajly cleared during this ad-
ministration and that the extra judi-
cal tribunals can then be dispensed
with and the regularly constituted
court keep up with the current busi-
ness:

of cases filed and number of cases
disposed of by the supreme court, fcr

of these stubble fields is sundered im-
practical, though in many cases it
would be far better to sacrifice all ex-
cept the very best seeding. Neither
can the fields be burned over without
destroying the young seeding, and
where these conditions prevail the
only practical method that the farm-
er can use is that of delaying his
wheat sowing until the flies have
made their way from the stubble to
the fields and died there without be-
ing able to find any plants upon whicn
to deposit their eggs.

The county -lemonstration agents i.:
northern Oklahoma, together with ;i
Osie I number of entomologist* and other
° agricultiiral experts recently held a
meeting at Claremore, Okla., and |
formulated a campaign to starve out
the Hessian fly in their locality. This
is an excellent method of starting the
work of organizing the farmers to
eliminate the fly. according to the De-
partment's specialists, and by all
means should be followed throughout
the fly-infested territory. These Ok-
lahoma agents and farmers have al-
ready adopted a speciflce eampign,
which, in short, is the same as recom-
mended by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, as follows:
Starve Out The Hessian Fly.
The Hessian fly, being in the "flax
seed'' stage in wheat stubble and in
unharvested wheat from June till
September, or even October in the
routh, can be destroyed by carrying
cut the following methods of control:
1. Burn, where possible and safe,
all stubble and ruined wheat.
2. Disk all stubble and ruined
wheat immediately after harvest,
where burning is impracticable.
3. Plow under deeply all stubble
and ruined wheat dtlds before Aug-
ust 15, harrow the ground, and roll if
necessary.
4 Harrow, disk, pasture, or othei-
wise effectually destroy all volunteer
wheat.
5. As a measure preparatory to
sowing, plow as early and deeply as
existing conditions will peimit; disk,
harrow, and roll until a thoroughly
pulzerized, compact seed bed is ob-
6. Do not sow wheat until after t!\
free date.
7. RoUte your crops if possible.
