an open passageway would be

us that the plan is a good one.

IT. S. FOOD SUPPLY
IS VERY IMPORTANT
In tho drier sections of the South
west whore corn ran not bo depended
upon to thrive, farmers can bosl add
to the Nation's food supply by grow-
ing grain sorghums more extensively,
say specialists of the II. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture. These crops, in-
rluding kafir, milo and feterita, are
Irought. resistant., and in most st-isons
produce profitable yields even though
corn may be a failure in the same lc-
calities. The States in which these
crops may be grown to best advantage
are Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Now
Mexico and California.
Although the sorghum grains, when
ground and used in making mushes,
breads and puddings, are comparable
to corn in food value, they hirv not
been used generally for human food in
the United States. Their chief value
therefore, in tho present cmerr.eniy
will be as feed for live stock and
poultry. If used in this way they
will release for use as human food
l.'yge quantities of the mere coinnnn
food grains now fed tu nn'mals.
Because the section in which grain
sorghums may be grown to best ad-
vantage is also the most important
cattle raising section in the country,
farmers growing the sorghums ,\tu
combine profitably the growing of
those grains and the feeding of live
stock, the specialists point out. Most
of the cattle now raised in tho grain-
sorghum growing' country are shipped
to the corn-belt for fattening on corn.
The sorghum grains, which, because
of their relative newness, are move
difficult to market than corn, there
fore are left largely unused in the
regions of production and must be held
until the supplies of corn have been
used up in large part, when the de-
mand for feed grains draws them into
ihe market. If the growers of grain
sorghums will plan to carry more cat-
tle this season and to fatten thou on
home-grown grain instead of shipping
them to the corn belt to be finished,
no difficulty will lie experienced in
marketing the sorghum grains. A
ready market for all the meat that
••an he produced this year is assured.
The sorghum grains make good
ensiling the grain sorghums when th *
grain is in the hard lough stage. This
silage js as high in food value as corn
silage.
Stock-raising farmers in the sor-
ghum belt should plant a large enough
acrege to supply an abundance of both
grain and silage.
TEACHERS EXCUSED
FROM SUMMER WORK
In a communication to the county
superintendents of Oklahoma, State
Superintendent R. H. Wilson is advis-
ing those officers to excuse from at-
tendance at the Summer Normals
those teachers who have mude good
in the school service by being prompt
to meet the requirements heretofore
imposed and whose services are de-
manded elsewhere because some mem-
ber of the family lias gone to the army.
His letter follows:
J,T have been thinki ver the sit-
uation with reforetv f > our teachers,
their salaries, the . supply of the
nation and 11. emand for labor
that will c ,,t i o so many young
men • go:: 10 the army and I
ha decid ’ suggest and recom-
mend that i. chers who, under ordin-
ary cir .ances, would be expected
to at' ’I Summer school in order to
have , icir certificates renewed or to
inn1 certain credits in order that
they may meet requirements which
have heretofore been made of them,
be excused from attendance at the
Summer schools if they can show to
your satisfaction that their services
are demanded elsewhere because some
member of the family has gone to the
army, because of the labor situation,
or because of insufficient funds; pro-
vided these teachers have made good
in the school service by being prompt
to meet requirements heretofore. Es-
pecially should this be true in the case
of men who are devoting their time
to such occupation which will increase
the food supply or in the prosecution
of any work made necessary because
of the war situation.
“This recommendation does not ap-
ply to those who wish to act as agents
or to any who have not heretofore
made good or to any who will not
spend their time in the interests of the
common good. In no sense is this
recommendation intended to applj to
any person who may be considered as
a slacker.”
TIMELY HINTS BY
HEALTH OFFICER
The problem of a pure water supply
for small towns and cities is a most
important one from a viewpoint of
public- health, put it is not as compli-
cated and difficult one as it was a few

these precautions heavy, in fact, con
sidering the results to be obtained it
is surprisingly light and within the
reach of every community, no matter
how small.
The essential factors for the puri-
fication of water for drinking pur-
poses are chlorination and filtration.
Each is essential. The filtration clears
and purifies the water and eliminates
turbidity. Filtration, however, can-
not be depended upon to kill disease
producing germs. This is the province
of chlorination.
For filtration, especially in the case
of small cities and towns, the method
of sand filtration has been found
practical and comparatively inexpen-
sive. In addition to the direct filtra-
tion u chemical coagulant, consisting
of lime and iron sulphate is employed. I
The iron sulphate with the lime tends
to form a coagulant which rapidly aids
in clearing the water. The water is
thus made clear and pleasant to the
eye and taste. This phase of the
treatment through settlbment and fil-
tration reduces the number of bac-
teria. It is not, however, in itself
sufficient. It should be used in con-
nection with the chlorination treat-
ment.
The cholorinntion treatment con-
sists breifly in mixing a vpry small
quantity of chloride of lime with the
water. A solution of chlorine of lime
and water is first mixed in a tank or
other vessel. This solution is then
permitted to run or drip from the
tank or vessel into the main or con-
duit carrying the water supply.
Chloride of lime costs but little and
the apparatus required for the treat-
ment of the water is inexpensive. The
running expense is small, requiring
only a small part of a man’s time.
The quantity of chlorine mixture is
minute, about one pare to 1,000,000
parts of water and does not affect
either the tast or smell of the water.
The chlorination treatment acts rapid-
ly and effectively on germs, especially
disease producing germs, killing prac-
tically all of them. In a number of
tests made at the Oklahoma State
Laboratory it was found that water
unfit to drink before chlorination was
perfectly safe after treatment. In
fact it is a conservative statement that
through the use of filtration and chlor-
ination an absolutely safe water sup
ply can be guaranteed.
So excellent have been the results
and so simple and easy the treatment
of water by the chlorination method
that it is now employed by many cities
whose water supply might be sup
posed naturally pure. New York city
spent aver $200,000,000 to obtain
pure water supply from far up in the
Catskill Mountain district, yet as an
additional precaution all the water
used is now given the chlorine treat-
ment, with the result that there has
been a marked decrease in the number
of cases of typhoid traceable to water.
A number of other cities have had the
same experience. No price is too high
to pay for good health, no single fac-
tor has greater effect on the health
of the community than its water. It
is possible to assure a pure water sup
ply at small cost and trouble. An in-
creasing number of communities are
using the filtration-chlorination
method above described. The more its
advantages are understood the more
insistent will be the public demand for
its general adoption.
in posed upon unyone by the contin-
uance of the cases.
REJECTED APPLICANTS
STILL HAVE A CHANCE
The great patriotism manifested
throughout the country has led to a
flood of applications for admitanc6
to the training camps opening May
lfdh, for training reserve officers.
The War Department designated
two camps for the Southern Depart-
ment; one to be held at Fort Logan
II. Roots, near Little Rock, Arkansas,
and the other at Leon Springs, neat
San Antonio, Texas.
In order to give everyone who de-
sired to do so, an opportunity to make
application to attend one of these
camps, publicity was given to their I
organization through the public press.
War Deportment instructions gov-1
erning the organization of these camps
fixed the maximum limit of 2500 each.
Of this number 150 are reserved for \
men who will be specially trained as
reserve officers of the Engineers
Corps, thus leaving 2350 to be trained
for infantry, Cavalry, Field Artillery
and Coast Artillery.
War Department instructions fur-
ther provided that officers should be
designated to examine those who de-
sired to enter the camps, the purpose
being to insure that those only were
admitted, who gave evidence of pos-
sessing the necessary qualifications,
and for the further purpose of making
selections from the above; those best
qualified being given preference.
The rush of aplicants to appear be-
fore the examining officers has been
so great that it was found impossible
to check the enlistments just at the
point when the authorized number had
been secured. It has, therefore, been
necessary to eliminate from these first
camps fsome of those who were passed j
by the examining officers.
A great many applications are still
being received at Department Head-
quarters from men who are keenly
anxious to enter the service. So great
lias been the rush of applicants that
it has been found impossible to reply
to many, as the work of organizing
the camps must have preference.
The War Department has stated
that other camps are to follow, and
it is believed that all those who are
disappointed by not being admitted to
those commencing May 15th will wait
patiently for the organization of the
next ones. Lists will be kept of those
who it has been necessary to exclude
from the present camps and prefer-
ence will be given to them in consider-
ing applications for succeeding camps.
COURT FUND IS NOW
ALMOST EXHAUSTED
In view of the fact that the Court
Fund has practically been exhausted,
there will be no more court, either
County or District, until after July.
The District Court will not sit again
until December.
Judge Et^ards adjourned the May
term yesterday, having continued all
cases that had not been tried.
When the Yalentine-Byers case
came on for hearing thore was only
about $2,500 in the Court Fund. This
case has cost the county about $1,500
so there is only a small balance left
