The Daily Oklahoman states that Wilson’s
Gettysburg address was the equal of Lincoln’s
masterpiece. The Oklahoman is noted for its
disregard for the truth. There is more meat in
one sentence of the Lincoln address than in Wil-

A law, created by the recent legislature, cuts

Commissioner Bob. Morrow informs the News-
Publicist that the matter of disposing of the
county farm, as suggested by this paper two
weeks ago, must he submitted to the vote of the
people. This may, at some future date, be done.
When it becomes generally known that the coun-
ty farm has proved a losing proposition, and an
expensive one, too, the people will, we believe,
vote for its disposal and the purchase of a much
smaller tract of land close in.

Farmers residing near Chandler and residents
of the nearby towns will find much to interest
them during the coming encampment of the state
militia at Chandler. The manner in which the
soldiers live, the style of cooking and the way
the food is served, the solving of battle problems,
the work at the targets, the daily schools for of-
ficers, the work of camp sanitation, etc. etc., is
sure to be interesting. Visitors will be welcomed
at the camp. Come and witness the training of
a thousand of Oklahoma’s patriotic young men.
It has occurred to the editor that a series of
articles touching the legal status of the Deep
Fork drainage ditch might prove interesting to
our readers. People may be interested in learn-
ing the inside of the John Davis bridge injunc-
tion—why it was sought and why it was dis-
missed. We confess that we are unable to fol-
low the intricacies of petitions, court orders,
claims and counter claims which burden the
court dockets, hut, perhaps, the services of a
disinterested attorney be procured to assist in
reducing the matter to plain, understandable
English. In the meantime the asking of a few
questions might be amiss, viz:
(1) If Mr. Davis really had the ivelfare of
the tax payers at heart when he asked for the
injunction why did he not “stand ’till the last
hitch," why did he dismiss?
(2) How comes it that the amount of the
warrant issued to the Midland Bridge Co., after
the dismissal of the injunction, was $2,465.00,
but, that the amount actually carried away by
the representative of the bridge company was
just $250.00 less than the amount of the check
issued by the county treasurer?
(3) Is $250.00 a “reasonable” attorney’s fee
and could it be possible that the said $250.00
really was paid as such fee.
(4) Did the Midland people get their leg
pulled?
(5.) Who got the “grapes”?
The public build-
mentioned above,
Unless the unexpected happens Lincoln coun-
ty farmers will, this fall, market the greatest
crop ever produced in the county. This crop
will put money into the hands of the tenant
farmer as well as into the pockets of the land
owner. This being the case the News-Publicist
wishes to urge the young farmer, not land own-
ers, and the regular tenant farmer to buy a
farm. Put every dollar you possibly can into
the purchase price of a farm home, borrow the
balance necessary. Once the owner of the land
you farm means that you are to become a bet-
ter farmer and a better citizen. It is the man
that farms his own land that is piling up a bank
account. Look about you Mr. Young Farmer,
and see if that is not the case. Pick out the best
tilled farms, the most comfortable farm homes,
the farmer who is looked up to by his neighbors
and you will find a man who owns his own farm.
A man who has worked hard for what he has
but who is now able to “rest upon his oars” and
enjoy to the fullest extent the fruits of his la-
bors. Then, too, owning and farming your own
land gives you a better standing and a better
class of credit among the business men of the
town where you do your trading. The very mo-
ment you invest in a tract of land you will he
pointed out as a man who is endeavoring to
establish a home for himself and family. Busi-
ness men know that you have determined to give
your very best endeavors to improving your
land, they know that that determination means
you will liecome a better farmer and a better
citizen. Young men and tenant farmers should
give this idea serious thought and consideration.
This fall will he the opportune time to act; and
when you are ready to take the step you will
find plenty of successful men who are willing to
aid you.

Relieve Their Crop Production Can

■>nte Methods,
Early in April of this year, Joseph
P. Harter, federal agricultural dem-
onstrator for Tulsa county, Oklaho-
ma, made a trip to Piatt, a negro
community on the M. K. & T. rail-
road fifteen miles northwest of that
city. Some of the finest agricultural
land in Tulsa county lies in that part
of the counity, and Mr. Harter was
confident the crop yields there could
be doubled and possibly trebled if
only he could prevail upon the ne-
gro farmers to adopt the scientific
methods being taught by the govern-
ment demonstrators. He found an
enthusiastic supporter in L. M. Bow-
man, teacher of a negro school and
the leader of the community. Bow-
man went about the neighborhood
and invited the farmers to attend a
meeting at the school house that
night. The house was crowded when
the meeting was caled to order. Aft-
er Mr. Harter had outlined his plans,
he organized an agricultural clut
there with an initial membership of
twelve. In a short time the club’s
membership grew to seventy and in-
cluded the head of practically every
negro family in the county. A num-
ber of boys and girls have joined a
"Corn and Hog Club" and are en-
thusiastic over the work.
The original twelve members of
this club occupy a tract of 2,000
acres in a solid body. Tluey are not
Creek feedmen, who have been ruin-
ed for work by having large bodies
of land and sums of money given lo
them by the government, but are na-
tives of Texas, Louisiana and Ar-
kansas, and have been raised to work
Mr. Harter claims the southern ne-
gro is a much better citizen than the
Oklahoma freedman, as the latter has
been used to too much money to ex-
ert himself at farming or any other
kind of labor so long as his money
holds out.
These twelve negroes are the ones
who claim they will show up the
white farmers of Tulsa county at
farming this year or know the reason
why. Judging from the way they put
in their crops and have tended them
this may not be an idle boast. In the
first place. Mr. Harter persuaded
these men that they must break the
ground deep. Had he gotten to this
settlement during the winter,
would have insisted upon
plowing.
has agreed to fall plow' for next year.
000 acres are being farmed scientific-
ally at Rentie. J. T Johnson, the
leading negro farmer there, has out
over 200 ae.re6 of cotton, which he
is cultivating according to improved
government methods. He is counting
upon two-thirds of a bale to the acre.
The .prospect for corn around Tulsa is
the best ever known. A number of
Rentie farmers will put in wheat this
fall, a thing they have never done
before. Some are planning to raise
alfalfa. When the Rentie club was
organized their freedmen neighbors
prophesied it would not last the sea-
son through. However, Interest in
the work of the club has grown with
each week Several new members
have been added and even some of
the freedmen are talking of enrolling
and "going to work" next year.
The eighth international Dry-Farm-
ing congress will be held in Tulsa
in October, and a special invitation
has been extended to the negroes of
the south and southwest to partici-
pate in the exhibitions. There will
be a special hall for the exhibits of
engro farmers and one day set apart
for them. Booker T. Washington
has been invited to deliver the ad-
dress on that day. The Piatt club is
planning a special exhibit, whicb, ac-
cording to T. H. Cleveland, will make
the other negroes "stare clean out
o’ der eyes.”
To encourage the negroes of Ok-
lahoma to participate as a race in the
Dry-Farming congress, 100 of the
most prominent negro farmers and
educators met at Tulsa recently and
organized the Colored Dry-Farming
association, with Inman G. Page,
head of the Langston negro normal
school, as president.

Whereas nearly every man of them
in the past for the most part had
confined his agricultural operations
to raising a "patch of cotton.” Mr.
Harter induced every one of them to
diversify this year. As a result they
have planted in addition to cotton,
corn, forage feeds, oats and water-
melons.
So diligent have these farmers
been in the cultivation of their crops.

Such a map would have been worth

is to be taxed three years, or until after the next

This looks like a political trick. If meats are

Fourth L<‘gihlat lire's Appropriations
Total Up $8,430,447.42.
Oklahoma City, July 5.—The
Fourth state legislature made avail-
able for expenditure in the two years
ending June 30, 1916, the sum of $8,-
480,447.72. This aggregate Includes
$708,246.70, which had been appro-

The figures wore prepared by State
Treasurer J. Elmer Thomas, of Law-
ton, chairman of the senate appro-
priations and were for publication in
the permanent journal of the Fourth
legislature.
Senator Thomas compiled his sta-
tistics in the form of a comparative
statement, using the records of the
Third and Fourth legislattires and di-
viding each biennium into figures for
each year. The Third legislature ap-
propriated for the fiscal years of 1912

1913. $921,342; 1914. $ 1,519,894 91.
and 1915, $985,857 40.

feeding value and fertility restoring
properties of alfalfa. Rotation of
crops, with alfalfa as the central one
and soil restorer, feeding the pro-
ducts of the farm to stock, is the
burden of the advice given from ev-
ery agricultural experiment station,
by special farm advisors sent out to
educate the farmers and by all agri-
cultural papers Alfalfa makes old
soils new again, increases marvelous-
ly all crops that succeed it, and the
feeding of animals helps to retain
the plant food elements on the farm
and restore them to the soil. Stock
raising and alfalfa growing are given
as the key to profit in farming, and
should this advice be taken in any-
thing like the proportion hoped for,
the meat supply of the country will
be assured.
THE DISAPPEARING STEER.
A warning has been sent out by
the department of agriculture that
meat prices are going to be higher, if
we depend upon our own supply. It
says the ranges are being cut up and
fenced off for farms, and the in-
crease in the price of corn and other
feed has made cattle feeding a risky
business even at present high prices.
As proof of its lugorbious prophecy
it says that in 1907 there w’ere 51,-
566,000 beef cattle in the United
States, while at the beginning of the
present year there were but 36,030.- I
000. This is a reduction of 16,363,-
000, or 30 per cent. In only five
years we have sold and slaughter al-
most one-third of our herds, besides
the natural increase during that per-
iod.
For further proof that the meat
supply has thus been rendered short,
attention is called to the fact that,
during the first three months of this
year, as compared with the same pe-
riod last year, there were slaugh-
tered at government inspected places
2,085,173 less animals, being 158,289
cattle, 59,475 calves. 1,263,667 hog6.
and 603,7 42 sheep. There has been
this much loss meat on the markets
—the amount shipped abroad not be-
ing reckoned—than there was a year
ago. Last year there was an excess
of marketing of animals, owing to
high prices both of stock and feed.
The worst of this rushing of stock to
market last year was that breeding
animals-were sacrificed and lambs
and calves as well, thus insuring a
falling off both in births and future
beef and helping to make the short-
age permanent.
j The only remedy for this meat

CULTIVATION.
To Frisco Demonstration Farmers in
Oklahoma.
Gentlemen:
This circular is being sent out to
remind you that the season for cul-
tivating is at hand. It is hoped that
you are each one prepared to give
this important feature of your work
due attention. Without thorough
and proper cultivation of your crops
the best results cannot be expected.
In Oklahoma where periods of ex-
treme dry weather are common, great
care in cultivation is necessary. Very
few deny now that moisture in the
soil can be held and the crop bene-
fited by proper cultural methods.
The past winter has given a good
moisture supply in most of our soils
and the question now is to prevent
evaporation a6 far as possible.
Unless the land is very trashy a
harrow or weeder should be run
over both the cotton and corn fields
at least twice before the cultivator
is used.
that commonly used in regions of
heavy rainfall. In dry sections a
soil mulch of 3 or 4 inch depth is
advisable on soil where the plow-
ing has been deep and early.
The cultivation should be as flat
as possible throughout the season.
No bare spaces should be left be-
tween the rows, and cultivation
should be continued until crop is
practically made. Establish the soil
mulch while the crop is young, and
thereafter keep it at the same depth
as near as possible.
All crops on the demonstration
farms should be cultivated at least
every 10 days, and alw’ays as soon
after a rain as possible. The kind
of tools used does not matter so
much as the way in which the work
is done. Poor work can be don©
with good tools and vice-versa. For
shallow cultivation, however, some
form of flat sweep or small toothed
cultivator is necessary.
This office will be glad to answer
all inquiries concerning your gen-
eral farm work, and our desire is to
be helpful to you and your neigh-
bors in every possible way.
Yours very truly,
W. L. ENG LEST,
Supervisor of Agriculture.
