FIELDS SHOULD BE WELL DISKED
This Should Be Done Immediately
After Harvest Even If the
Ground Is Dry.—Listing
Means Ruination.
Wheat harvest Is now over all over
the atate and the crop this year fur-
nishes an excellent object lesson, ns
to tho dollars and cents value of the
proper preparation of land to be plant-
ed to wheat. Wherever the fields
were properly prepared last year, the
crop suffered no Injury from the short
period of dry weather which occured
Just before harvest. Where the wheat
was planted In a poorly prepared seed
bed, there was no moisture reservoir
to Keep the plants during the dry
period and, therefore, tho crop was
badly injured.
With such an object lesson before
them, farmers should try to plant all
wheat on a properly prepared seed
bed, this fall, and right now is the
time to begin to prepare such a seed
bed. Wherever It Is possible, a disc
harrow should follow the binder round
for round. There is plenty of mois-
ture in the ground at this time and it
should be kept there so thut plowing
can be done after the wheat harvest.
If wheat fields are thoroughly disced
Immediately following the binder, the
grain should be removed as early as
possible and the surface of the fields
should then be thoroughly pulverized
by the use of the disc harrow. This
should be done even if the fields are
dry at the time when the discing is
done. If there is plenty of moisture
in the soil at the time the fields are
disced, the pulverized surface will
hold this moisture and extend the
length of time during which plowing
can bo done. The moisture vapor ris-
ing from the sub-soil will be held by
the pulverized surface apd the soil
immediately beneath the'disced sur-
face will remain in condition to he
plowed for some time. In addition,
any rain which may fall will pass Into
the ground readily instead of running
off and being lost.
Many western Oklahoma farmers
have found that if they would thor-
oughly disc the surface of the field
at the time when it was becoming too
dry for plowing, that the moisture ris-
ing from the sub-soil would bo stopped
Just beneath the disced Earface, and
in a few days plowing could be re-
sumed, even though no rain had fallen.
After the discing is done, »he plows
should then be run as soon as pos-
sible. Early plowing, following disc-
ing, makes big wheat yields in Okla-
homa. The plow should be run to the
depth of one or one and one-half
inches more than the land has been
previously plowed. Do not turn up too
much raw' soil at one time, but in-
cease the depth of plowing gradually
from year to year. Each day’s plow-
ing should be gone over with the har-
row before the team leaves the field
at night. Unless the land Is very
loose, the entire field should be gone
over by a weighted disc harrow with
the discs set straight, after the plow-
ing is done. This packs the plowed
soil buck to the sub-soil.
The surface of the field should then
be gone over once or twice with the
section harrow before the planting is
done.
The plactlce of listing wheat and
then levelling and planting has done
j more to decrease the yield of wheat
I in Oklahoma than the burning of
straw and the lack of rotation, al-
though these two faults are Bad
enough. Even double listing is not so
satisfactory as plowing, especially If
the following spring happens to be
dry.
Faces Murder Charge.
Purcell.—Following the death of his
wife, a warrant has been issued here
charging Jeff Franklin, u negro, with
murder. The shooting, according to
Franklin’s statement, was the result
of an altercation with his wife con-
cerning domestic affairs, and he al-
leges that among other things she did
to make life unbearable was to object
to him pawning his clothes, by whi'*!!
ine^ns he expected to raise money to
leave town.

Well, If perchance
you can’t place
tho particular oc-
casion, I’ll offer
some enlighten-
ment, for to my
way of thinking it
was the wildest,
most exciting ex-
hibition of free
and far-away wal
loping I ever wit
nessed. And
worse, luck, 1 hap
pened to be right
there when the base hits were thick-
est. Just by way of refreshing your
memory. I’ll state that the score end-
ed 16 to 16 In favor of the Tigers.
When you also pause to consider that
tho White Sox went into the last half
of the fifth inning with a lopsided ad-
vantage, leading by the score of 13 to
1, you may gain some idea of the
bumping I received from my twin
jinxes, Messrs. Tyrus Cobb and Sam
Crawford, both of them abl* left hand-
ed batters. My finish came in the sixth
inning after the Tigers had compiled
a total of twelve clean drives, includ-
ing three-baggers by the triple-plated
twins, the aforementioned Cobb and
Crawford. Up to the turning point I
entertained some joyous prospects of
an easy victory, for the White Sox
were pounding Mullin and Covington
pretty freely. Then the scenery
changed when the Tigers dusted off
their heavy artillery and started to
charge our lines in the fifth. Mullin.
always a dangerous hitter, shot open
the inning with a single, but was
forced by Drake. I didn’t want to take
any chances with Rush, and the w*ee
shortstop walked. With two on and
Cobb, who previously had singled, at
the plate, I found myself dangerously
near the trouble zone. So I proceeded
to ‘‘work on” the Georgian. As a
master workman I surely looked any- (
thing but the part, for Tyrus immedi-
ately combed a triple to the outlying
regions, hammering across a couple of
runs. I then tackled my other hoodoo,
the slugging Crawford, and Samuel
rammed a triple into right field at
the rate of a mile a minute, scoring a
moment later on the infield out of Del-
ehanty. Moriarity obligingly cashed
In, grounding to Tannehill, and I went
to the bench to recuperate. Our half
of the sixth was gver in a jiffy. Right
off the reel I saw my finish staring me
in the face when O’Leary, Stanage and
Covington notched singles. Again 1
encountered trouble with Bush and a J
wild pitch let in another run. Bush
was nailed by our infield, his retire- j
ment coining another tally, and, with
the bases choked, I faced my jinx,
Cobb, for the fourth time. Again the
champion batter delivered a timely
swat and the third marker of the In-
ning was jotted down. That ended
my regime on the firing line and Olm-
stead was led to the slab. Eventually
the Tigers ^ere permitted to bat
against Walsh, and when the smoke
had cleared away five more runs clat-
tered across in the ninth inning, spell-
ing victory for the Tigers. On several
other occasions 1 have been forced to
swallow the lime of defeat simply be-
cause these hoodoo sluggers refused to
fall for my southpaw delivery.
