a place in Oklahoma rotations.
Generally speaking, wintoi
wheat is sown from the 1.1th ol
I September to the lath of Octo-
ber Actual field trials in con-
Jtral Oklahoma do not indicate
! much difference between the re-
spective* dates; the average* .vide
| for the Octobe*r seedings stands
slightly in advance of the Sept-
ember seedings. If the wheat is
to be used for pasture purposes,
more green material can be se-
cured when the crop is planted
early. In sections where the
Hession 11 y lias made its appear-
ance it is not advisable to sow
the seed much before the 10th
of ()ctoher Five to six pecks of
good seed will give a perfect sot.

DEMOCRATS OFFER HELP
FOR OAR HER FOR (GOV-
ERNOR.
“When 1 was in Outline yes-
terday," said County Attorney
McKeever today, “a number of
democrats of statewide promi-
nence said they hoped that Judge
Oarber of Enid would be nomi-
nated for governor by the repub-
licans as they would liTce to sup-
port him. Tin* belief is current
in Guthrie that Bill Murray will
be nominated by tie* democrats
and the men who have the state’s
interests at heart in the democ-
racy want tiie republicans to
n tme a man who can snow Mur-
ray under. They feel that it
would be disasterous for the
state if he were chosen because
it would mean tie* perpetuation
of Ilaskellisni and practically all
the grafts and demagogy which
Shave become notorious during
the east two years. If Garber
1 will run for governor many lead-
ing democrats will tale* the
stump for him and others will
support him quietly."

THE LOO ROLLING
The annual Log Rolling of the
M. W. A. will be held in Lament
today and from all reports it is
going to be the biggest thing
pulled off in the county. To
some the full meaning of a “Log
Rolling” may not be compre-
hended and in a word of explana
tion will say that it is an annual
occurrence among the camps of
the counties in which there are a
number of Woodman camps. It
is given for the benefit an 1 fur-
therance of the interests of the
Modern Woodman of America.
Its purpose is to promote liar-
;i:u.r*jfc mony ahd unity among the differ-
ent camps of the county and to
exemplify thefraternalism which
should abound in all organiza-
tions. Its purpose is also to fur-
ther cement the fraternal bonds
which bind all Neighbors, and
show that the organization nro-
motes a fenlity of chain psionship.
It shows that a spirit of rivalry
may he inaugurated and that the
sting of defeat should leave no
lasting animosities among those
who take a pari in any contest.
It also shows that in the great
contest of life to those who strive
honorably and meet with defeat,
ff-

there is always a sympathetic
heart and a helping hand and a
word of good cheer for those who
enter the contest and fail of the
goal, that no man should allow a
defeat to discourage him, but
should be more accurate in his
preparations for flic contests yet
to coineT A man well trained in
the points of friendly rivalry is
only better prepared for the
more sterner contests which are
bound to fall to his lot in this
life.
A million men have their
names enrolled upon the roster
of Woodcraft and if they perform
their duty, as taught them by
their obligations, they will only
champion the cause of right and
defend their fellow man, be he a
Woodman or not, who is engaged
in the honorable pursuits of life.
NO.24
Select tlu* man we can elect.
Of all those named, which
would you pick for a winner?
The above.is a very apuropri-
ite list of questions at this time,
for the reason that it will give
t.he people plenty of time to
weigh t hem and make the proper
Inductions. Another question
should be added and that is,
“which can redeem the state
rom the disasterous democratic
danders?”
All of the men mentioned above
mve proven in the past t hat they
ire for the advancement and <le-
eloppinentof Oklahoma, but to
pick the one that can fill all of
the above qualifications remains
for tb<* people to answer, be-
tween ihis and next spring.
Tin*re is no reason why any
quibblingshould be indulged in in
selecting a man from the Repub-
lican ranks to make the race for
governor, for the reason that
everything should center on the
welfare of Oklahoma, and perso-
nal controversies should bo elim-
inated. Take the whole bunch
of prospective candidates and
give them a personal investiga-
tion, make comparisons as to the
successes attained by them in
public life,-take the? standard of
progressiveness, fidelity to every
trust given to their keeping,
their record as public servants,
and private citizens, and measure
them all, and there will be but
one result to your investigations,
and that is, you will choose from
among them the man who can
and will be elected governor. A
machine politician will have a
hard time winning favors from
the people next year, for the re-
sult of machine controlled offi-
cers is too fresh in the minds of
the taxpayers of the statetosub-
mit to another term of office of a
man who p’aces party above the
best interests of the state.
In consideration of the forego-
ing questions, we will answer
the last question at this time,
and pick from that splendid ar-
ray of eligible candidates, Judge
M. C. Garber of Enid Garfield
county.

Winter wheat
crop with many
EXPERIMENTS WITH
TER WHEAT
was a favorite
who selected
farms in Oklahoma during the
settlement of the western part
of the new state. A perceptible
decline in the yield per acre
within recent years led to the in- nGucIi
troduction of other crops, and
these have been cultivated al-
most to the exclusion of this
cereal. Better prices together
with good crops this se ason will
induce many to set aside a small
area for winter wheat. This
crop is not difficult to handle it
we have a proper understanding
of the manciples which should
govern our methods in the culti-
vation of the soil, or in the selec-
tion of seed; and it is certain that
the farm income may be given
greater permanency by growing
several crops rather than by
placing our dependence entirely
upon one crop, like corn or cot-
ton. Furthermore, a fair quan-
tity of wheat pasture can be se-
cured from the field during the
fall and winter months; thus the
stockman, farmer or dairyman
has a chance to add to his sup-
ply of available food. We may
also observe that rolling or nil
dulating lands receive some pro-
tection when a crop .*f winter
wheat is grown on such areas;
consequently; soil erosion will
not be as active on such fields as
it is on sections which remain
bare throughout the fall and win-
ter months. Again, the straw

THE GOVERNSH1P
From the Oklahoma City Tim»s.
“Who is the strongest man for
Governor?” is a question that is
being frequently asked nowa-
days.
Among the Republicans whose
names have been mentioned are:
Denn’s Flynn, Milton Garber,
J. B. Charles, Joe Norris, Jake
Haraoii, Cash Cade, I. M. Hol-
comb, L F. Cain, Frank E. Gil
lotte, Joe McNeill, of Guthrie,
and C. G. Jones of Oklahoma
City, are avowed candidates and
McNeal has authorized his an-
nouncement.
The above named gentlemen
are well known, and would be a
credit to any party.
New the question that com
fronts the Republican party is to
pick out the strongest of these
men, and nominate and elect
him.
Take the names above
Which is the best known?
Which lias the best qualifica-
tions for Governor?
Which can poll the most votes?
Which can he elected?
These are the questions to bo
settled in the minds of the Re-
publicans.
Senator Gore’s latest:
According to the senator there
was an accomplished hen with a
brood of chickens- five roosters
and live pullets in Western Okla-
homa. The chicks matured and
went their various ways while
the mother hen busied herself
with a new brood.
In the course of time Metho-
dists came into the vicinity of
“Chickenvillo” to hold a confer-
ence, and, as might be suspected
the five young roosters fat, yel-
low legged and extremely ten-
der were feasted upon by var-
ious and sundry preachers. The
young pullets, left behind, were
met by the mother hen a day or
so later.
“My children," she asked,
“where are your brothers?”
“They have entered the minis-
try.” Bracing herse’f from the
shock of disclosure, a look of res-
ignation spread over biddy’s
countenance as she replied:
"Well, my dears, perhaps it is
all for tin* best. They would not
have made very good lay mem-
bers anyway."—Oklahoma City
Times.
