half or two inches deep. If they
can not be placed in moist soil one
and one-half inches below the sur-
face, it is better to plant them
deeper than one inch and wait for
a rain to bring them up.
Onion seed should be tested be-
fore planting. The seed deterior-
ates rapidly with age, and if it
shows poor sprouting, new seed
should be obtained or an approxi-
mate larger quanitv should be
planted. The seed germinates
slowly, and it is frequently advis-
able to soak the seed in warm
water twenty-four hours before
planting. About six or seven
pounds of seeds will plant one acre
of ground in the manner described
above. Planting may be done in

In 1904 the total vote of Eugene
V. Debs, socialist candidate for
president, was 386,954 and in 1908,
Debs still running, the socialist
vote was 488,543, a gain of 61,490.

confidently predicted by the Deb-
ites that they would poll from
1,000,000 to 2,000.000 votes in the
nation.

How to katae Onions.
All kinds of onions can be grown
in Oklahoma. The red. yellow and
brown onions are bent for market,
and are more popular than the
white varieties. The large onions
are usually sweeter, and are more
mild in flavor than are the small
onions. Of the large onions the
yellow and brown are better favor-
ed than the red. In choosing a lift
for home growing it is better to
choose the large bulb varieties,
and, at the same time, select the
best keepers. The yield per acre
can be influenced more by cultiva-
tion than can the quality of the
bulb produced.
Onion seeds are cheap, and for
starting a general crop it is better
to use seeds than sets. Onion sets
will produce green onions of a size
suitable for table use much earlier
in the spring than will the s»-ed,
but they cost moie and are more
difficult to plant and should not be
used for general crop work.
The land for the onion bed should
be plowed in the fall or early
winter, and should be given sur-
face cultivatioin just before plant-
ing the seed in the spring. Unless
the ground is new and very fertile,
it will pay well to give the land
a dressing of well rotted barnyard
manure. A good plan is to grow
a crop of cowpeas on the ground in
late summer, and plow them under
in early fall. The ground will be
then in excellent condition for
recieving an onion crop in the early
spring. With the seed-bed thor-
oughly prepared, the opportunities
for good crop be greatly in-
creased.
The seed should be drilled in
rows about eighteen inches apart.
The common drill is the best tool
that can be used for this work. It
is indispensable, if a large plant-
ing is to be made, for the garden
work; however, small rows can be
laid out with the hoe or a stick
and the seed drilled in by hand,
scattering the seed quite thickly in
the row. Cover with moist soil,
and firm the soil well down around
the seed. The seed should be
planted no deeper than is necessary
to place them in contact with moist
soil. In no case should they he
planted more than an inch and a
the southern part of Oklahoma, in
the latter part of February or early
in March. In the central and
northern part it will be found best
to withhold the planting until the
middle or latter part of March.
The land should be cutlivated as
soon as the plants appear above the
ground. Hand tools are best suit-
ed to this work. The plants are
very small and require careful
handling to avoid covering or des-
troying large numbers of them. It
will frequently be found necessary
to thin out the plants in a row.
They should not stand closer than
two inches apart and three inches
apart in a row is better. If large
onions are to be grown, they should
be thinned down to four and six
inches apart in the row. Keep the
ground free of weeds and grass
and permit the onions to have the
full use of the land. The surface
should be kept well pulverized and
should be cultivated frequently.

A Fight with Officers.
A desperate fight between offi-
cers of the law and two men whorr
the officers were attempting to ar-
rest occurred in Mangum last
Saturday night. The proprietor of
a certain wagon yard reported to
Mayor Echols that two men,
strangers to him, were at his yard
and because they guarded so vigi-
lantly a suspicious looking box he
believed they were bootleggers.
Mayor Echols notified Marshall
Shipley and about 9 p. m. the lat-
ter, in company with Night Officer
Frank Paul, went after the sus-
pects. The strangers were there
with their box and when the officers
attempted to arrest them the
trouble immedately begun. There
were no knives used nor shots fired
but the officers used their guns as
billys and the men each had a stout
short club. It was a regular Don-
nybrook Fair time they had but
the officers won out and took the
two men and the supposed case of
whiskey to the court house where
the box was opened. It was found
to contain no bottles but a number
of neatly wrapped packages which
on examination were found to con-
tain each an assortment of Kin-
kade's Fresh Homemade Candies,
sold at the little Candy Wagon on
the Corner.

The fire boys were called out
Tuesday on another of those fire
alarms that after a long run into
North Mangum prove to be either
false or only the prairie on fire in
a dangerous place winthin easy ac-
cess of some cotton. This alarm
turned out to be false.
Business in Mangum is rather
slow at present by reason of the
faet that the most of the farmers
are taking advantage of the warm
weather and plowing or getting
ready for the spring planting.
