Favor Centralized Registration
A plan whereby a system of central-
ized registration may be carried on
throughout the state and at the same
time comply with all provisions of the
law' regarding registrations has been
worked out by the state election
board the details of which were given
out last week
Under the plan proposed by the
board and which It is believed will
meet with general satisfaction among
election officers as well as voters
registration books of the different pre-
cincts in every city where registra-
tion will be conducted shall be as-
sembled at one convenient place and
at certain hours during the day which
will meet the convenience of election
officers the Inspectors will be on
hand to register voters In their re-
spective precincts
The main obstacle In the way of a
general centralized registration sys-
tem as pointed out in a recent opinion
by Attorney General West to the elec-
tion board was that no one but the
election precinct inspector could reg-
ister a woter The authority vested
in the inspector the attorney general
held could not be delegated to an-
other party' 1
At the time this opinion was given
by the attorney general the plan had
been proposed that 1 all registration
books be assembled at one point ‘and
one set of election officers placqd in
charge of the central registration sta-
tion The new plan just worked out
by the board meets the demand for
central registration point and at the
same time provides for strict con-
formly with the registration laws
City Government Unsatisfactory
The present form of city govern-
ment in Oklahoma City will be aban-
doned for the city manager form with
the election of ' commissioners next
April if the Tax Efficiency League
composed of large taxpayers of the
city and county are able to bring
about the change
On receiving the report of the com-
mittee that had been appointed to
visit the city commissioners and ‘ask
a reduction of $60000 In the city
budget for next year the league by
a unanimous vote passed resolutions
declaring it believed the present form
of commission government costly and
Inefficient and Instructing the presi-
dent of the league Judge B F Bur-
well to appoint a committee of five
men who should “consider and report
at the next meeting on such changes
as are necessary In the charter of
Oklahoma City to change the form of
government and eliminate four of the
fire present high-priced officials now
acting as the legislative body of this
city it being evident that a majority
of the present incumbents cannot be
Induced to engage actively In the de-
tailed work of running a city’’

Would Reduce Repairs Cost
A law which would prohibit manu-
facturers and dealers In machinery
from charging exorbitant prices for
pieces needed for repair is recom-
mended by the Oklahoma corporation
commission In a report that Is being
prepared for submission to Governor
Cruce The Idea originated with
Commissioner George Henshaw who
believes that all of the pieces that
go to make np a machine should not
be sold separately for a price that
would aggregate more than the total
price of the machine brought alto-
gether The report states that small pieces
of machinery are sold for from 10
to -40 times their cost of manufacture
The commission would ask the legis-
lature to give It Jurisdiction to com-
pel foreign and domestic corporations
to file with the commission the selling
prices of each part of any machine
sold In the state These prices should
be uniform throughout the state al-
lowing for difference of transports-
tionc cost of distribution overhead
charges and competitive conditions
The commission in its report also
recommends ihe passage of a law
giving it Jurisdiction to revoke the
license of any foreign or domestlo
concern which sells machinery that
is fraudulent or does not come up to
the guarantee aifd to annul sale con-
tracts where made under fraudulent
representations -

GOOD OPPORTUNITY
ifcftiaiasiiiii3i®
There Is Nothing More Sanitary
(By ELMER HENDERSON)
Juat between corn planting and
corn plowing there is a little time
when the work in the fields Is not so
crowding
This affords a good opportunity to
clean the manure from the yards and
land it out into the fields At this-time
of the year most probably the only
place to land It Is the hay ground
This Is a good place for It as the
growing meadow will take up all the
nitrates as fast as they are released
from the decaying manure and apply
it to their own nee
' It has been proved time and again
by actual testa reported by our experi-
ment stations that the manure that is
allowed to He around and rot loses
three-fourtbs of Its value
This la due to decomposition of the
material nitrification and the escape
of ammonia and to leaching or wash-
ing by rains
When manure decays there la lib-
erated by this process nitrogen which
Is one of the most valuable factors on
the American farm today
If this nitrogen Is allowed to escape
its value Is lost to the crop which
probably needs it very much
As much as three-fourths of the
available nitrogen in a soil may escape
during the summer When it Is consid-
ered that this is one of the most val-
uable constituents of the manure the
extent of the loss Is at once apparent
As to the loss by leaching or wash-
ing' I need only remind you of the
stream of muddy water that issues
By Contrast Note
VALUE OF ALFALFA
AND ACRE OF CORN
Placing Valuation of Two and
One-Half Times on Former ’
Seems to Be About Right '
A comparison of the value of the
average acre of alfalfa with the aver-
age acre of corn brings some Interest-
ing figures to light An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that one acre of
alfalfa Is worth two and a half acres
of corn This looks like a rather largy
estimate but a Uttle work with a pad
and pencU shows that- the enthusiast
has no't overdrawn the comparison to
any great extenL
Forty bushels of corn to the acre is
a rather generous estimate and an
average price of 60 cents per bushel
Is good Figuring lt this way the crop
will be worth $24 Giving the stalks
a valuation of $1 we can say that
the entire product of the acre of corn
amounted to $25 An ordinary acre of
alfalfa In an ordinary season should
produce three and a half tons of good
hay at the least and a good average
price would be $1650 per ton Thus
the alfalfa crop will be worth $5760
The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year and the crop taken off
wUl leave the soil In a better condi-
tion than It fbund It The crop will
have been produced at about one-third
the labor cost ol the corn and will
return to the soil much more manu-
rial value than the corn if both are fed
on the farm The corn will have ta-
ken from the fertility of the soU and
the loss will eventually have to be
made up by growing alfalfa or some
other legume Placing a valuation of
two and one-half times as much on
alfalfa as com does not seem to be
far wrong-

Practical Way to Balt Stock
AUow the stock to Judge for them-
selves what salt they need This la
the simplest and most practical way
to salt ’ stock
Remove and Burn Dead Branches
All dead branches found on the cur-
rant and gooseberry bushes should
be removed and burned
Prevent Injury -Remove
the wires that fasten the
labels to the nursery trees so as to
prevent Injury
TO CLEAN UP YARDS
Than a Clean Well-Kept Barnyard
from a manure pile during and after
every heavy rain
Every drop of water is rich in this
valuable nitrogen not to mention the
other elements that are of so much
value to the growing crops
The average manure In the spring
before leaching or decomposition has
begun is worth anywhere from $250
to $3 per ton allowed to remain In
the yard until fall It is worth barely a
third of that price '
In our calculations we have left the
sanitary aspect 0ut of consideration
There should be nothing more sanitary
than a clean well-kept barnyard On
the other hand there is not a better
place for the germs of disease than In
the foul filthy yards that are so com-
mon on many homesteada
Many a fine horse has been ruined
by being compelled to tramp to and
from the water trough through one of
these disgraceful barn lota Grease
rot and all Its kindred athnenta - are
only too common to animals allowed to
remain In these places
Then brother farmers clean up If
not for your stock’s sake then for
your pocketbook’s sake But it la dol-
lars to doughnuts that the man who
allows his manure to He around all
summer also let his other work lag
Clean upl It la more sanitary
things look better — have a cleaner
better smell ' ' -
The elements that insult your nos-
trils in a dirty barnyard are the earns
that make the bi£ crop of fragrant
hay next summer

NEW SOIL ACIDITY
TESTIS DISCOVERED
Chemicals Are Perfectly Safe for
Layman to Handle and Ap-
paratus Is Cheap
What is expected to prove a more
positive test for soli acidity than the
common litmus paper test and one
which because of the cheap and harm-
less chemicals used In Its operation
will be within the reach of the ordi-
nary farmer has been devised by
E Truog Instructor In the department
of soil ’college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin
The new test It is believed will be
of especial benefit to county repre-
sentative and to field agents of the
state soils laboratory owing to the
fact that It Is simple to operate and
approximate quantitative results can
be secured In from 10 to 15 minutes
The new method consists of the ad-
dition to a sample of soil to be ex-
amined of zinc sulphide with email
amounts of calcium chloride and wa-
ter and boUlng the mixture In a flask
held over a small flame preferably
an alcohol lamp Commercial lead
acetate paper which can be purchased
at the drug store when held In the
fumes of the mixture for a few min-
utes will turn from light brown to
a Bhlny black according to the de-
gree of acidity present In the solL
The batnral color of the lead acetate
paper Is white hence the discolora-
tion can be plainly seen and will more
accurately gauge the acidity In a soli
than will the litmus paper test now
In use
The chemicals are perfectly safe for
the layman to handle and the com-
plete apparatus Including flask and
burner ordinarily will not coat more
than $2 The details of the apparatus
have not been completed but In a
short time a more definite announce-
ment will be forthcoming
