eral miles of good roads Into the city
were completed. 125 learns being used.

The good roads movement has been
continually agitated and the long peri-

improving the highways. A great day's
work was accomplished. The move-
ment had been fostered by the Law ton
chamber of commerce.

IjBst Tuesday evening, Glendoln
Crane, the seven year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Crane, fell
from her swing in the back yard, on
her left arm and broke the bone in
the elbow joint. A very bad and
painful break but she is getting
along nicely.
Providing judges for state, county
and local fairs is a part of the varied
duties assumed by the extension divi-
sion of Oklahoma A. and M. college:
Representatives from the college act
ed as judges at forty-eight of these
fairs In 1913 and a much larger num-
ber could be handled if the college
were notified In time to arrange
schedules for these experts.
The expert sent out frfim the col-
lege Is more than a Judge of exhibits.
He is a teacher with object lessons
to draw on. He mingles with the
farmers and answers questions or
takes names and addresses of per
sons who want bulletins on special
subjects. Frequently the fair manage
ment makes arrangements for infor-
mal lectures in connection with the
exhibits.
In order to facilitate the work of
judging fairs this season, Dean Plt-
tuck is sending out to fair managers
questions as follows:
"1—Where will your 1914 fair be
held?
”2—When?
"3—Is it to be a county or local
fair?
“4—What class of exhibits do you
want the college to furnish expert
judges for—Farm crops? Livestock?
Home economics?
"6—On which day or days of your
fair are the exhibits to be Judged?”
Where possible, county contests in
the A. and M. college boys' and girls'
agricultural clubs will be held In con-
nection with the county fairs. These
contests are In corn, kafir, mllo, fet-
erita and cotton, peanuts, and cow-
peas. pig and poultry raising, sewing,
rooking and home canning. Yields
made last year in, these contests were
highly creditable. Where county fairs
are held on dates that will permit the
clubs’ exhibits to be brought to the
fair and the fair management will pro-
vide quarters for these exhibits, the
county contests will be decided at
that time.
It is necessary In these county
clubs’ contests that the exhibits be
judged by a representative of the col-
lege or some person appointed by the
college. If held at the time of the
county fair these contests could be
judged by the representatives sent
out to judge other exhibits and waste-
ful duplication could be avoided.
As a great many county fairs are
held just prior to the state fair In
order that the best exhibits may be
sent to the big fair, early September
Is usually a busy period for the ex-
tension division workers.
Oklahoma and Texas farmers and
ranchmen have in too many instances
produced cattle and cottonseed meal
for the feeding pens of Iowa. Illinois
and Kansas, according to President J.
H. Connell of Oklahoma A. and M. col-
lege in an address delivered at the
national corn show at Dallas, Texas.
President Connell had prepared a
chart to show the loss to these soutn-
western states in fertilizing value
alone by failure to feed their cotton-
seed meal at home.
According to this chart the fertiliz-
ing value of 1.000 pounds of cotton-
seed meal is $15.36; of cottonseed.
$6.36; of alfalfa, $5.41; of wheat, $4.12;
of corn (grain), $3.62; of prairie hay,
$1.78; of cotton lint, 88c. The chart
still further shows that in 1912 there
were produced $6,104,000 tons of cot-
tonseed of a value of $21.20 per ton
Oklahoma and Texas are. as is well
known, among the greatest cotton pro-
ducing states and are responsible for
a heavy portion of this vast tonnage

Mrs. C. A. Hagan went to Guth-

CHAMPION KAFIR RAISER
This is Leland Shore of Logan
County, Central. Oklahoma, who won
first in the Boys' Kafircorn Contest in
1913 with a yield of 90 8 bu. per acre.
This yield was first determined by
three disinterested neighbors; then
cheeked by the county agent and then
by the state agent of the farmers’ co-
operative demonstration work of the
U. S. Department ot Agriculture.
Those who are inclined to doubt such
a yield as this in the drouthy and
chinchbuggy year of 1913 might as
well acknowledge the kafircorn.
