The wheat crop in some sec-
tions of Oklahoma has been
heavily damaged by the recent
dry weather but by a pareful
investigation it has been a seer
tained that much of the failure
is due to the lack of proper cul-
tivation Out of twelve fields
reported as failures nine bad
been drilled between the corn
rows with practically no culti-
vation and little subsequent ef-
fort to retain the moisture
Had the fields been thoroughly
harrowed as late as possible
this spring many crops would
have made good yields which
are now failures
Hut there is no need for form-
ers even in the wheat sections
to be despondent over the pre-
vailing conditions this is the
time for quick end energetic
action There is still fflenty of
time for the planting of quick
maturing drouth resistant crops
that have not only a feeding val-
ue but can be converted into
hard cash The grain sorghums
kafir milo and feterita espec
tally the two latter will almost
certainly manure if planted at
any time before the fifteenth or
twentieth of this month aqd
cqwpeas penqtq and swept
plqyej will not only give goad
returns for this year bpt will
improve the soil for next years
' crops' There is almost certain
' to h® sopa ’34n-4n all parts of
’ the State within the pext twen-
ty days the records of the
Weather Bureau for the last fif
teen years bears us out in this
assertion and if the fields are
in a condition to receive this
' moisture when it falls and if
planted immediately after the
rains to the crops mentioned a
bove Oklahoma will yet give
an abundant harvest this year
Let’s get to work Where
wheat and oats have been'a fail-
use they shoul at qnce be re-
moved froiq the fields Tfie
ground should ' he thoroughly
and heavily disced ip both direct
tionq in order to retain what
moisture remains in the soil

t oliftl work'
fall 'Seed should be procured
and each farmer should be ready
to plant some of these crops im-
mediately after the first rain
and after the crops are planted
every farmer should take a les-
son from the dry hot weather
of the past two or three weeks
and should hold every little bit
of moisture which falls by fre
quent shallow pulverising cul-
tivation Take the long point-
ed shovels off the cultivators
put the bull-tongue plow in tfie
shed use only the widest flat-
test of sweeps or other Imple-
ments that will pulverize the
surface of the soil without cut-
ting off the plant roots or open
)ng up the soil so deep as to dry
It out Instead of retaining the
moisture Drag a weight be-
tween the rows pulverize the
surface and create a dust mulch
begin cultivation as soon after
rains as possible Hold the
moisture when you get it be-
cause you will surely get some
moisture and almost certainly
sufficient to mature drouth -re
sistapt crops if cutivatop fs
properly donq '
This is the time fqr every-ope
to get busy The farmer should
net tuay on his own lapd The
hankers commercial clubs ard
agricultural clubs should get to
work urging and persuading
farmers to plant kefir milo fet
er j ta peanuts and cowpoas
wherever prospects are not good
for other crops

In conucction with the move-
ment to promote tfie pse of sl-
ips iq ouf territory f beg to baud
you herwith copy of a poster
qseef at a meeting held at West
Plains Mo on May 9th
(This poster refered to by Mr
Anderson describes “Silo Dem-
onstration Day” at West Plains
Mo— Editor )
There la no question but that
in addition to its value in con-
nection with winter feeding a
silo is practically a guarantee to
the farmer against loss of his
feed crops by dry weather and
for this purpose I should say a
silo means more to the South-
western farmer and therefore
to Ihe country than any other
one thing that can be put on the
farm It not only insures feed
to tbp farmer but enables him
during the winter months to in-
crease the efficiency of his feed

I am going to ask if the farm-
ers in your section are interest-
ed in silos and if not actively
interested don’t you believe it
would be to the interest of all
concerned including yourself
and ourselves as well as the
country in general to have a si-
lo demonstration' meeting
which the farmers could attend
In this way those not already
Informed coultVbe fully advised
"With respect tcfall kinds of silos
their cost their value and what
they can earn for a farmer
Shall be glad indeed to hear
from you and also shall be
glad to co-operate with you and
the people of your section in any
manner you think will bring to
the farmers of your section an
increased profit from their lab-
ors as well as save their crops

The Eight Annual Session of
the International Dry 'Farming
Congress will be held in Tulsa
Okla Octobbr 22nd to Nov 1st
Great preparations are being
made by the citizens of that city
to make this an event of great
note And practically every
person that lives iu a semi-arid
locality as we do will want to
know the particuars even if
they are not ableto attend
The International Dry Farm-
ing Congress and Exposition
was brought from Lethbridge
Canada And at that time cer
tiin representations to the ef-J
I feet that the State Board of
Agriculture would take an ne-
! tive part in the preparations I
financial -arrangements and oth-1
er important phases of the work
so far as Oklahoma was con-1
'cerned But later trouble a-
rose between the Board ot Agri-
culture and the officers of the
Congress It is probable that
some old members of the Board
were seeking personal ends
political as well as financial
This no doubt will be offsetted
by the intense interest and sin-
cere effort on the part of the
citizens of Tulsa determined to
make the Congress a success in
every way The Tulsa Commer-
cial Club has taken hold of the
David— Jones
At noon at the home of Chas
David occured the wedding of
his sister Miss Edna to Mr
Harry Jones of Wichita
Miss Sylvia Forbes played
the wedding march and the
couple marched to a white arch
from which suspended a white
bell Miss Theresa Bonham
sang “Till the Sands of the Des-
ert Grow Cold” Rev Myers
performed the cermony
After the cermony the party
proceeded to the dinning room

destructively The city of Tulsa

a couple of stalks of barley The
heads were short but reasonably
well filled Barley may do well
