The Incident of tho day was tho
calling up of Mr. Iliude's bill to pro-
vide for the appointment of commis-
sioners of charitable institutions in
cities tinier special charter. Mr.

of the bill. Mr. Hinde explained
that it was intended to pro-
vide for the control and man-

The Sru ami mil mooting of the Ok-
lahoma agricultural society convened
iu tho U. S. court room in this city
i yesterday afternoon and remained in
' session during the afternoon and even-
ing aud adjoin tied until S u. m. trnay
lor the completion of the busiuuss of
the meeting.
Col. 11. E. Gluzier of Orlando terri-
torial president presided throughout
I in u dignified and imtmrtiul manner.
The first thing taken up was tho re-
port of tho committee previously ap-
pointed on constitution and by-laws
tho same being adopted witli a few
u.iuoi amendments.
Mayor Martin then welcomed the
association In his usual happy strain
making every one in attendance feel
thoroughly at home.
Ex-Uovornor Seay responded in be-
half of the association aud iu the
course of his remarTjs offered many
admirable practical suggestions to the
farmers of tho territory the whole be-
iug interspersed with those quaint bits
of humor peculiar to him.
President Glazier in his address
stated that he hoped to fco conduct
himself us such officer us to meet the
approbation of tho officers and mem
bers of the society and followed with
a clear statement of the objects of the
association.
The president was followed by Sec-
retary Soule who read an article upon
the bumfits of eo-oporation. He
started with the human race in ita
savage state and showed that co-
operation was tho first stop toward
civilization. And further that -without
cooperation the farmer of today
would still bo groping in the dark
ages instead of the enlightened con-
ditions and conveniences with which
ho is surrounded. After giving the
history of funning organizations and
agricultural colleges Mr. Soule fchowed
tliat tho farmers were now living iu
an auspicious time; that never hud so
much of u demand been made upon
science and science had never bofaro
so much to give.
Secretary Soule was followed by E.
P. lternardiu of Oklahoma City ivho
presented a paper upon cultivation of
soil. He advocated deep plowing for
anything and everything giving many
and apt illustrations in favor of iL
R Kleiner of Oklahoma City nixt
followed with a paper on tho planting
and cultivation of corn. Ho gave u
his observation that the further south
one went the slower corn germinates
and the more space required. Plant
deep after thorough cultivation; pra-
irie soil should not be plowed more
than threo or four inches except hard-
pan which should be plowed eight or
twelve inches. lie advocated listing
corn instead of other planting.
Prof A. C Mngruderof the Oklaho-
ma agricultural college next followod
with an urticlo on progressive agricul-
ture. He admitted that tho farmers
were slow in regard to organization
but culled attention to the fact that
large bodies move blowly aud while
not organized as soon as the lawyers
doctors aud other professions and
trades yet he thought would move
with us great or greater force.
K. J. llorder of Crescont City fol-
lowod with a speech upon the subject
of conserving what wator we havo
"The influence of capillary attraction
on vegetation and means to prevent."
Thu speech showed an intimate ac-
quaintance with capillary hydrostatlo
and other watois.
A recolution was offered by A. D.
Ilieock to the effect that as the farm
ers are the source of all the wealth
created in Oklahoma thoy respectfully
ask tho legislature to roduco the sala-
ries of all otlicere in the territory com-
mensurate with the income of tho
farmerf. Resolution losL
