Fees for Medical Witnesses.

cian cannot bfe required to testify as
an expert witness in a case of which
he has no personal knowledge and in
which he is to testify merely to hy-
pothetical state of facts, and that in
case such a witness is called the mat-
ter of compensation must be n. greet*
upon between the physician and the
party at whose instance he is calleu.
It is held, however, that in case he
testifies without such agreement he
would receive only the regular wit-
ness fee.
Plan Rural High Schools.
State Superintendent E. D. Cameron
and his assistant, J. W. Wilkinson, are
preparing a pamphlet in which the ad-
vantages of consolidated schools are
set out and in which the organization
of such schools in all sections of the
state is urged. There are now about
forty consolidated school districts in
Oklahoma. The counties where the
idea has proven most popular are Car- ;
ter. Comanche, Delaware, Grant, John-
ston, Kiowa, Love, McClain, Payne, ;
Pawnwee, Seminole, Texas, Washita, I
Rogers and Roger Mills. The slogan I
of the present state superintendent is
a rural high school for every country
pupil in the state.

sirable.

stated that cotton may be planted in
the southern counties early in April,

generally speaking, planting should be
done in this state from April 10 to
May 15. This period of Mine will
cover the entire cotton raising section
from the most southerly to the ex-
treme north. Early planting is desir-
able, owing to the shortness of the
growing, season, but seed should not
be planted in the ground until it is
warm.

Oklahoma Quarantine Work.
That during the past year 300,000
head of Southern cattle have been
dipped in Oklahoma and that 3,230
square miles of territory in Oklahoma
now are above the quarantine line,
where farmers and cattle raisers can
get the benefit of the native markets,
is the statement of G.T.Bryan, supe.-
Intendent of the live stock department
of the state board of agriculture. In
addition to this, 380 square miles have
been placed In the modified quarantine
area. Superintendent Bryan states
that according to assessors' returns
75,000 cattle and 14,800 pastures have
been given the benefit of the native
markets within the past year through
inspection and quarantine work, which
adds at least $225,000 to the value of
these cattle. Mr. Bryan states that
something like 900,000 cattle from
Texas points have been dipped In Ok-
lahoma since statehood, or an average
of 300,000 a year. The legislature has
appropriated $30,000 a year for this
work and for tick eradication in the
various counties. The department has
also dipped 300,000 cattle to cross the
quarantine line and 900,000 cattle,
which already were above the line,
were given protection.

Appeal to Supreme Court.
The interstate carriers doing busi-

the supreme court of the state from
the order of the corporation commis-
sion requiring them to establish gen-

persedeas order holding the order in
abeyance pending appeal and the rail-
| roads ask the supreme court to issue
