Horse Show at the Oklahoma State
I'air and Exposition, which opens Sep-

A contract has just been made be-
tween Secretary I. S. Malian of the
fair and Warren Jennings of the Ok-
lahoma City Polo and Push Ball team
calling for games every night of the
Horse Show. Under the terms of the
contract, the games are to be played
between the Oklahoma City team and
the Rockwall t^am of Alan Reed,
Texas, which is about forty miles
from Amarillo. These are considered
the crack teams of the southwest as
shown by the fact that they have
just been engaged to play at the In-
diana State Pair.
Prominent among the Oklahoma
City players might be mentioned Lynn
Ammermann, who Is aggressive and
who easily holds the position of one
of the hardest hitters on the team,
Paul Shaffer is one of the pioneer
players and his horse, "Red," is con-
sidered among the best of the club
ponies. Mr. Jennings has been in-
terested in polo for a number of
years and is one of the organizers
of the team. Tom Watson plays No.
4, or back of the team, and has par-
ticipated in all the games played la
the last year. Billy Craycroft is the
youngest member of the team but
what he lacks In experience he
makes up in aggressiveness and hard
playing.
Polo and push ball proved to be
the most interesting of all
sports last year and for that reason
^he games have been provided for the
amusement of all at the coming fair,
Sept. 24 to Oct. 5, 1912.

Smoke-Consumer a Success
A smoke consumer and fuel econo-
mizer, said to be the result of twenty
years trials, has been successfully
tested at Sheffield. Coal was fed into
the furnace of a boiler generating
steam for running the works, with the
usual result—the emission of black
smoke from the chimney; then the
consumer was put into action, and in
place of the black smoke there was
only a slight trace of the products of
combustion. The change is effected
by an arrangement of a series of de-
vices so placed in the flues as, to in-
tercept the smoke, and cause it to be
ignited by the flames. Two air cir-
culators are so placed as to allow the
mobiles. Nearly every farmer who is desired quantity of external air to be

The various courses of instruction
offered by the A. & M. College have
| proven entirely practical. The courses
i are of true college grade, as is evi-
denced by scoreB of graduates, as
well as many undergraduates, of the
College who have gone out from the
institution and who now reflect credit
on the system of education main-
tained here. "As scientists, as master
workmen, as farmers, as agricultural
j experts, dairymen, electrical and civil
engineers, school teachers, business
j men, accountants, teachers of domes-
| tic Bcience and arts, as fathers, moth-
I ers and citizens," they have added
to the progress of the state and na-
tion.
The preliminary object of the Col-
j lege is to render the youth of Okla-
homa more capable and effective; to
increase vitality and to add intellec-
tual, moral and creative power; to
clarify the ambitions of immature
minds; to enrich the ideals of youth,
and to make the lives of all who come
in contact with the College and its
work brighter, purer and better.
The six collegiate divisions of the
College, each composed of the several
departments, offer training in indus-
trial, scientific, business and cultural
lines second to no other institution
ol its kind. Through the many com-
i petent young men and women receiv-
to be | ing instruction in the A. & M. Col-
arenic j lege, the state is making rapid prog-
ress in all lines of industry. Not
only is the A. & M. College imparting
knowledge to the regular collegiate
classes, it ie also reaching out to en-
lighten the masses by offering special
Short Courses. These Short Courses
are especially arranged to meet the
needs of young men and young women
who feel they cannot take the time
or afford the expense of taking a
I regular course. These courses offer
brief training in the more immediate-
ly practical subjects during that part
of the year when they can most con-
veniently leave home. They are ar-
ranged with the purpose of giving the
most practical instruction in the
shortest possible time, and are es-
pecially adapted to young men and
young women of moderate means
who desire modern ideas on subjects
pertaining to home life on the farm.
These Short Courses give instruc-
tion in teaching, music, stenography,
sewing, cooking, farm crops, live
stock, dairying, creamery manage-
ment, farm mechanics and cotton grad-
ing.
During the scholastic year ending
June 30, 1912, the College had a total
of 2,159 men and women enrolled in
the regular College classes and the
several Short Courses.
The State Experiment Station is
connected with the College. The Sta-
tion officers are experimenting with
the various soil problems, field crops,
fruits, vegetables, live stock, dairying
and feeding. As soon as any prob-
lem is solved, the results are pub-
lished in bulletin form and distrib-
uted to 35,000 farmers of the State.
A Successful Farmer
Hy Charles E. Hoke.
One of the most successful farms
in the southwest, whereon livestock
is the principal product, Is owned and
managed by Mr. J. R. Roberts near
Medford, Oklahoma.
Lighten years ago Mr. Roberts se-
cured 180 aeries of land in the famous
race for homes in the then Cherokee
Strip, and shortly afterward moved
his family to the new home. To use
his own words: "I came to Oklahoma I
with nothing but a mortgage on a
small farm in Kansas where 1 had
previously tried to farm, and what we
now have is largely the result of our i
efforts since moving to our present I
home." The farm now contains 320 |
acres, and 20 acres additional is '
owned which adjoins a promising I
townsite in that locality. The land j -
is smooth and level and principally; lu * what you nctd. They tone

will find
gray silt loam, medium in fertility
for that part of the state. This year
the land is cropped as follows: Al-
falfa, 35 acres; wheat, 85; oats, 35;
kafir, 30; and cowpeas, 40. In addi-
tion, about ten acres are reserved
for truck, garden, orchard, and the
home grounds. The rest of the farm
is In pasture, the most of which is
Bermuda grass. I wish to call special
attention to the acreages devoted to
kafir and cowpeas. Although both of
these crops are well adapted to this
section and never fail to make some
kind of a crop, the farmers are prone
to neglect them in favor of less cer-
tain crops, such as corn, wheat, and
oats.
All of the crops grown on this farm
are fed to livestock, with the excep-
tion of the wheat crop, and feed i
bought with the money received for
the wheat. It is the owner's proud
boast that he has never sold a bushel
of grain, other than the wheat, from
his farm, and he says that the fertil-
ity represented in the wheat sold has
been more than accounted for in the
feed that he has bought to take its
place. His only reason for growing
wheat is his belief mat he can take
the money received for the crop, and
buy more feed than he could raise on
the land occupied by the wheat.
To maintain the fertility of this
farm, all of the manure produced is
returned to the land. In addition, the
alfalfa and co-.vpea crops are grpwn
to restore the nitrogen of the soil and
to keep up the humus content. Illus-
trative of this, about seven years
ago, a well set alfalfa sod was broken
up and put to crops. The effect the
first year was rather discouraging,
this probably being due to the poor
physical condition of the soil the first
year after plowing. The effect of the
alfalfa toward increasing the fertility
of the soil was very noticeable, how-
ever, after the first year and the ben-
eficial effect is still seen each year.
Mr. Roberts' theory is that you can't
Bet something from nothing, and that
If we expect to get the same yield of
crops that we did when the land was
new, we must return something to the
soil in the place of what has been
removed The fact that the soil on
| this farm is now producing just as
good crops as it ever did, and that
other farms in the same neighbor-
hood, but differently farmed, are not,
would seem to bear out this theory.
Only purebred livestock is kept.
These are Red Polled cattle, headed
