gist, of the Oklahoma Agriculture!
College, will lecture on "The Time to
Fight Insects." At 1:30 p. m. the
Texas Alfalfa King, R. E. Smith, will
deliver a lecture on "Alfalfa, Live
Stock and Riches." He will be Imme-
diately followed by Director Field, of
the Oklahoma Agricultural College,
on the subject of "Farming Upland
Profitably." it will mean hundreds
of dollars to every farmer who heais
these lectures, and follows the know
ledge obtained.
Beginning June 1st there will be fa
rounvi of lectures, and entertainments
from breakfast on the grounds in the
park at 7:30, until 11 at night. Boys

A Fortune lit It.
Now, here is something worth while.
Mr. J. Long of Sherman, Texas, writ
ing to the Dallas News, says:
"As you are still urging diversifies
tion, I thought It might interest you
to know what can be done along th
line of drug plant culture In Texas,
am including a list of drug plants
am cultivating, finer specimens u
which I never saw in any country, and
some of which I am already harves
Ing for the first time this season an-
will harvest once or twice again this
summer. They yill run from one
to two tons per acre and In price from
|100 to $300 per ton. Bug, drouth nor
wet weather seems to hurt them, as
they are mostly weeds in their native
state, and no one ever heard of any
thing hurting weeds.
I am adding to my collection
fast as possible, and hope soon to
have from 100 to 150 different sped
mens.
List of Drug Plants—Tansy, lark-
spur, blend thistle, parsley, wormwood
rue, feverfew, angelica, lovage, yel-
low dock, burdock, bovage, benno,
marigold, calendula, catnip, hoarhoun l,
bluevervian, fleabane, soapwort, spear-
mint, American wormseed, mullein
balmony, belladonna, digitalis, hyscya
mus, lemon balm, hysbop, marshmal-
low, motherwort, sage, jlmson, yar-
row.
"Yours truly, J. LONG."
The most or perhaps all of these
plants grow wild In Greer ©ounty, and
It would seem to be worth while for
some of our farmer friends to commu-
nicate with Mr. Long and get his
method, and his market. If these
plants can be raised at all to any ex-
tent, there can be no question as to
the value of the crop. It Is out of
such things as these that some people
make a fortune while others run right,
over them as if bllnvlfolded.

A Friendly Critic.
Mrs. J. E. Kelly of the Eldorado
Courier, who attended the "Muslcale"
at Oklahoma City, last week to hear
the "Incomparable" Nordlca, warble,
has the following to say of the sweet
singer:
« ^ • • • *
Tuesday night was the crowning
feature of the Festival and the largest
crowd ever assembled In Oklahoma
City was there to greet the incompara-
Ible Nordlca. Her appearance on the
stage was greeted with round after
round of applause. .
"Had she not sang It would have been
an entertainment in itself to have
looked at her wonderous beauty.
"But as she uttered the first notes
of the Elizabeth aria she became a
being glorified.
"It has not been given commonly to
understand all languages but Nordlca,
although she sang partly in German
ind Italian, is such a superb actres9
that each number was perfectly clear
to us. Everything she did, every mo-
tion she made, was just as It shoulj
be and when she rendered our own
Swanee river we felt that she had giv-
en to us all any mortal could wish."

SHE'S A WISE WOMAN
Who keeps In mind that a
credit Is a dangerous thing.
Who is able to mend both her hut-
band's clothes ami his ways.
Who has learned the paradox that
to have Joy one must give it.
Who can tell thhe difference be-
tween her first child and genius.
Who most admires those eyes which
belong to a man who understands her.
Who acknowledges the allowance
nvde her b* her husband by making
allowances for him.
Who appreciates that the largest
room in any house is that left for self-
improvement.
Who manages to keep not only her
house and her temper, but her ser-
vants and her figure as well.
Who can distinguish "between the
laugh of amusement, and the one
meant to show off a dimple.
Who gets off a trolley-car the right
way—though she runs the risk of be-
ing arrestee as a man In disguise.
