On referring to the last ap-

Whether the people are get-

A. P. Watson is standing as

Watson is now a candidate
for the third consecutive term.
In last Sunday's Oklahoman

Summer feeding on the pasture Is
usually more profitable than winter

Finishing cattle early in the sum-

finishing them later in the season.
Fattening steers on grass and cot-
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
feed.
Thin steers make larger and cheap-1 to <• euro

Pound for pound, cold-pressed cot-
tonseed cake is not equal to the com-

The use of a small amount of coru

JUDGES PROVIDED FOR FAIRS
A. and M. College Aids Counties in
Agricultural Exhibits
Providing judges for state, county
and local fairs is a part of the varied
duties assumed by the extension divi-
sion of Oklahoma A. and M. college*
Representatives from the college act
ed as judges at forty-eight of these
fairs in 1913 and a much larger num-
ber could be handled if the college
were notified In time to arrange
schedules for these experts.
The expert sent out from the col-
lege is more than a Judge of exhibits.
He is a teachcr with object lessons
to draw on. He mingles with the
farmers and answers questions or
takes names and addresses of per-
sons who want bulletins on special

* RULES FOR RAISING BEEF +
♦ ♦
Uuseful rules for raising be<=-f suc-
cessfully in the South are given in
Farmers' Bulletin 580 just issued by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture under the title of "Beef Pro
ductloa in the South." After discuss
ing in some detail the available pas-
ture lands and grasses, the Bulletin
summarizes conditions as follows:
Eradicate the tick.
Oood pastures are essential.
Plant pasture grasses over the
waste lands.
Use purebred beef bulls for grading
up the native stock
n;al lectures in connection with the
exhibits.
In order to facilitate the work -of
judging fairs this season. Dean Pit-
tuck is sending out to fair managers
questions as follows:
1—Where will your 1914 fair be
held?
"2—When?
"3—Is it to be a county or local
fair?
"4—What class of exhibits do vou
want the college to furnish expert
judges for—Farm crops? Livestock'!!
Home economics?
"5—On which day or days of your
fair are the exhibits to be judged?"
Where possible, county contests in
the A. and M. college boys' and girls'
agricultural clubs will be held In con-
nection with the county fairs. These
contests are in corn, katlr. milo, fet
eriia and cotton, peanuts, and cow
pe'-i. pig and poultry raising, sewing,
co: ":ing and home . canning. Yields
> . last year in these contests were
highly creditable. Where county fairs
1 in- held on dates that will permit the
| clubs' exhibits to be brought to the
fair and the fair management will pro-
vide quarters for these exhibits, the
county contests will be decided at
that time.
It. Is necessary in these county
clubs' contests that the exhibits be
judged by a representative of the col-
lege or some person appointed by the
college. If held at the time of the
county fair these contests could be
judged by the representatives sent
out to judge other exhibits and waste
ful duplication could be avoided.
As a great many county fairs are
held just prior to the state fair in
order that the best exhibits may be
sent to the big fair, early September
is usualiy a busy period for the ex-
tension division workers.
