This part of Oklahoma Is infested
with the Russian Thistle, and for the
benefit of our readers we publish Sec-
tions 68, 69, 72, 73, 74 and 70, of
Article VII, of Snyder's Compiled
Laws of Oklahoma, restricting the
spreading of Johnson Grass and Rus
sian Thistle and prohibiting the sale
and transportation of same within
the state. We omitted sections 70
and 71 of this Article, which per-
tains to the county commissioners,
road overseers and street commis-
sioners. These sections will be
found on pages 136 and 187 of Sny-
der's Complied laws of Oklahoma.
ARTICLE VII.
Sec. 68. Misdemeanor—That if
any person sells or gives away any
oats, hay, straw, seed or grain con-
taining or intermixed with seed or
roots of Johnson Grass or Russian
Thistle without disclosing such fact
to the purchaser, or transport the
same over the land of another with-
out consent of the owner thereof, he
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than twenty
five dollars and not more than one
hundred dollars.
Sec. 69. Liable Civilly.—Any per-
son, firm or corporation permitting
Johnson Grass or Russian Thistle to
mature seed upon any land, ground
or right of way controlled by hint or
them, either as owner, agent, lessee,
manager or receiver, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and in addition
thereto shall be liable in a civil ac-
tion for all damages resulting from
! the spreading of such noxious plants
to any land contiguous thereto. Each

Barrsd Plymouth Rock*.
u»ed In making the breed. The Ply-
mouth Rock Is more like the Asiatic
.than the European chicken.
The greatest recommendation for
the Plymouth Rock is the excellent
growth made by the young chlckena.
In this quality they have no superior.
The Plymouth Rock pullets are good
layers, but aa yearling hena are prone
to turn the feed Into fat rather than
eggs.
One objection to the barred variety
la tbe difficulty in keeping the breed
true to the standard type. The pure
!breds are require^. to have even and)
distinct ba£s of the same shade ini
Imale and female. These are difficult
points to maintain and resort is often
I made to double matings or the keep-
ing of two breeding pens, one to pro-
iduce cockerels and the other pullets.
| White and buff Plymouth Rocks are
ilatdr products than the barred variety.
Much of what has been said will apply
[to these also. The white variety is
free from the color objection of the
j | barred type, but the objection to the
fattening tendency applies to hens of
this variety perhaps more forcibly
than to the barred. Buff Plymouth
Rocks will average smaller than the
other varieties of the breed. Although
a solid color bird, they, like all buff
breeds except the buff cochin, will be
found difficult to breed of one color,
owing to the tendency to possess
black or white in the wings and tail.

conferees will be able to agree on
a measure somewhere between the
LaFollette bill as passed by the Sen-
ate and the House bill, thereby giv-
ing the President an opportunity to
show whether he was sincere when
he said that the Aldrich wool sched-
ule was indefensible. The action of
the Senate has demonstrated that the
control of Congress by special privi-
lege is ended for the time at least,

Sec. 72. Of Owner of land.—Any

or eradication of such plants, the

ized to enter upon such premises and
