Manager Griffin Tells of the Great Work Accomplished by Prof. Inman E. Page and Langston University. THE HOTEL LANGSTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE VOLUME XVIII. The Re-election TWO DAYS AT Manager Griffin Tells of published by Prof. L and Langsto In creating the new state of Oklahoma, through the good offices of Hon. Charles M. Barnes and at the solicitation of E. P. McCabe, one of the founders of the city of Langston, there was established by an act of the legislature a school in the education of Negro youth, at Langston, a Negro town, to train males east of Columbia, which city was, at that time the capital of the state of Oklahoma. In the legislature preceding the appointment of town mayor Barnes to the office as executive of the state Mr. Barnes claimed to be a member of the body and through an act was introduced in the legislature creating a school for normal, allogate, in district and agricultural training. This was of great importance, but the legislature in 1897, during the administration of town bannow, passed the bill in a spirit of local pride, the old bannow town land for building and agricultural purposes. The legislature appointed 1500 for the purpose of establishing the school but this amount, to cost building and employ teachers and teachers, amount, proved inadequate. About this time Governor Barnes made a division of the land lease money of the territory in a way that made it possible for the school to obtain a part of this land which allowed a continuation of the work until an appropriation could be made for its support from the legislature. Briefly this is the story of the founding of Langston but the state institution on the island of Negro youth of the state of Oklahoma. The first host of guests was a punditized by the governor and were of low Wm Huntin in Oklahoma City, J. O. L. of kingsfisher and Rev. L. H. Hott of truth. After coming the first instructors in the very last trent from which to select a president on the new school the only on President was given to Professor Linn K. Page, it that time president of Lincoln Institute, Johnson City, Mt., with power to act as his new sitting and proper and to the best interests of the new school which at that time was situated upon a broad prince, with buildings half completed and a security on funds, with which to carry out the work, which was solely in need of publicity, if any great results were to be accomplished. Added to this, the people in this country were comparatively poor, on account of their opening up their lands for farming, and at considerable disadvantage. It was a difficult proposition, which must be met immensely and by a man of more than ordinary physical, moral and intellectual strength. Then, too, it must be borne in mind that the only settlers in Oklahoma were not an educated people; but were Negroes who had worked upon the farms, and many of them denied many privileges which have been opened to them since coming into the state and when one keeps in mind these conditions he cannot help but appreciate the great work done by the faculty and especially that of the President who has at all times been a trustee and leader worker in the interest of the race. This is an effort at true adjustment that deserves the encouragement of both races and in evidence that the money so kindly disposed by those who have been kindly disposed F to the Negro has not been spent without a liberal return. The showing made up to this time is an evidence that those of the future we sure to be more gratifying as the people learn the advantages offered at Longston University. During all this period, from the co- trolling of the school at the institu- tion in which I had a stint to spice up a laboring in general publicity but in spite of the fact the school was attentive one, very imply. The president sing- gested to the reality that since no many were available for a training pur- pose that each one of them, in being himself, go out into the field and do whatever they could in the way of can- vassing and lectures to inseize the at- tendance. In those days schools were new and most of the trips into the country were made in whatever manner the good people of the country visited were kind enough to arrange for them; yet in their ambition to make the school a success they did not complain of the exposure and hardships they met pushed ahead, covering the greater part of the state, and especially those parts in which were located the largest Negro population and response to their appeal for patronage were immense and the school continued to increase its enroll- ment. By an act of the Legislature on July the University was not only provided with funds for its support during the most beneficial period, but also in the creation of an alliance to the main building a large dormitory and a residence for the President. The seventh General Assembly approved the usual amount for maintenance and five thousand dollars for installing a steam building plant in the main building and in the only dormitory. The lights TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 26 1911 M. H. PROF. INMAN E. PAGE, President Langston Normal and Agricultural College. General Assembly appropriated a larger amount than usual for maintenance, five thousand dollars for water works system and twenty thousand dollars for the erection of an additional dormitory for the young women, and for the enlargement of the buildings already on the grounds. During this period in the growth of the school there had never been enough room to supply the needs of the attendance. The school had been crowded at all times, and it can be said for the members of the legislature that they had at all times shown a disposition to do whatever they could for the school when it had been demonstrated that the attendance was to be permanent and not a temporary rush because the University was a new feature in the growth of the country. The first legislature of the new state of Oklahoma at which was Demo-rate, was given to with the University, appointing a fraction over $11,000 to the maintenance of the school for the years 1809 which amount allotted to the school from the rent of the building and from the Merill Bennett fund and the total amount of annual income to $13,000. In November, 1907, the main building of the university was destroyed by fire and the same legislation appropriate to the situation of a new PROF. INMAN E. PAGE, I Agricultural College. Main Building and for additional improvement. The Second legislature appropriated $45,000 for maintenance and improvements. The effort to build a state school for the education of Negro youth has been a constant one, in which the faculty have opened the last years of their lives to accomplish something that would be permanent and worthy of the support given by those who have administrated the allots, the state, and the better element of Negroes throughout the state to approach the labors of those who have been instrumental in bringing about these results. For those who have served the people in its capacity, it is in place to say that their work has not always been not yet appreciated to the extent that might be desired, and it is to be regarded that attempts have been made to discourage the work by those who should have been its strongest supporters, that the work that has already done might have been wilfully done in those who have been absent had been active and those who have critical would have acquainted them with the conditions as they really were in attempting to introduce a system that was impractable. Otherwise, a great state, for all people, and in its growth. The demands of a nation only be met by a nation that all its citizens and the although by the Langston University when tried out, will mean much in young men of the race. No one understands these conditions better than the who have spent these years in making a great school, in a rich and great state. If the Negro of the future keeps spite of the progress of the people of America, he must get the proper education and to do this he must know that his institutions grow only as the people give that evidence of appreciation which encourages to greater effort and compensates for earnest and honest effort Professor Inman E. Page, President of the state school for the higher education of Negroes in the state of Oklahoma is a graduate of Brown University, Providence, R. I. from which school he graduated in 1877, as class orator. While attending school he met many of the men who have since become prominent in the affairs of the Nation and today he counts among his friends and acquaintances many men in the far East on states who are known throughout the land as politicians, educators and professional men of the highest rank. After leaving school, Prof. Page went into Mississippi and taught a term of school for which he was called as a principal at Uni's institute, led in this. M. which is the only school in the United States established by No. 10 soldier by contributions from then hometown, at the close of the civil war and continued that this he had moved open to the education of Negro youth, a bit of sentiment which should appeal to every Negro is showing the far sighlessness and belief of those who had just emerged from slavery and appeared a future hope for them. President Langston Normal and people by this token of desire to law the foundation for an opportunity to gain education for those who had been denied this privilege through many years of already. When Prof Page took charge of the school the second year after he taught there, the institution was in a bad shape in every way. The main building, which was used as a registration room, principal office and girls dormitory was on library back structure, badly fitted for the purpose for which it was used. The boys dormitories consisted of a row of old army burkas and a diplomat room house which had been used in wartime. In a comparatively small way the state of Missouri had been supporting the school but the institution was solely in need of money with what it made room for students of both sexes and to enlarge the main building. With in four years of the administration of Prof Page, a new dormitory for girls had been built and the old dormitory moved and students and teachers placed in comparative comfort, a housing department for the students, created and the school placed in good running order. After accomplishing this much of the work upon the grounds, Prof Pag turned his attention to the legislature with a view of more liberal support from the state. Finally he became acquainted with the lawmakers, perusal the calls then attention to the work that was being done and the result was accomplished, and slowly they became instituted in the students and the staff generally. They asked that the institution must be given at the school, in order that the legislature might be for themselves what was being done. Prof Page did, with the result that the first legislature increased the appropriation for the maintenance of the institution and year after year more money was --- Mary C. MRS. ZELLA PAGE, BREAUX, Instructor of Muscle, Langston Normal and Agricultural College. added until every need of the school was supplied. Fire destroyed the main building, which was immediately replaced with a better one of the most modern type of architecture and all other accessories added in the gymnasium and library. An Industrial Department was added and equipped with everything necessary for manual training in that department. Still others were added until Lincoln Institute became known as one of the best equipped schools in the West. And all through the efforts of Prof Pagge, having placed the school upon a safe footing, in Missouri, he accepted a place at the head of the new school at Langston, where he found a condition which would have been most insurging to a man of less experience and information than he. From the way in which he has taken the school at Langston and worked out such plans as that will within a few years take its place among the best institutions in the country and which is at present fully fitted to take one of every kind of the present date. In the Prof Pagge can be said that he has turned his schools man was have taken their maths in the basis and professional world and it is to state that the percentage of students who have made a showing in this day to instruction received in the schools at higher learning, those out of schools prescribed over to Prof Pagge compulsively with those at my school in the country, among Negroes. In order to appreciate the true worth of this Page as an education it is not a way to compare him, nor his work or other of other schools or other man that are students who have taken charge of schools after the routine work had been laid out by their predecessors and by following closely along lines al- ready have received undeserved pats. There are others who have still not yet completed lines, backed by their own experience. it is a particular line of instruction and have made a success through work with the Page, it has come into view some of the countrys many towns had been established and is now being in expen- tion and planned so that would be of much the time and the and should where others to experience, had laid in the state of Missouri best known and where the and is of his work, we to in the public schools are formed to its of his school who came out on during his administration, and in the men and women who stand ready and willing to to-take for him as a man of true ability the very highest moral tone and a worthy office in the administration of the educational affairs of any community. Aside from activity in his daily duties as President of a great institution, Prof. Page is a live worker in all matters of public interest to the race. He attends the meetings of all the leading men of the country and is an active worker for the advancement of all matters lending to the social and intellectual advancement of the race. He is a strong debater, a wise philosopher and an aggressive --- ALER NUMBER 21 continue to Prosper! opponent, and at the same time a desirable ally. In all his work he is ably assisted by his most estimable wife, who is responsible for the discipline in the institutions where he has taught and managed affairs. Mrs. Page is ever alert to the duties of matron, the office which she usually holds and while strict in the enforcement of every rule of the institution she has the tenderness of heart and feeling that make those under her care feel that in her care they have have the attention of a mother. Mrs. Page never fails to help, in any way possible, those who have been unfortunate and the deserving are never turned away. It is her delight to assist those who desire to make their way through school and many who have felt discouraged in their effort to make their way through school have been encouraged by the motherly ables of Mrs. Pe and taken new hope and made their way, in spite of dull nits. We are proud to say that Langston University is making great strides in the way of the advancement under Providence. Yet there is lots to be done before the work is complete. The people should not forget that they have a duty to perform. The limit of the growth of the school is only limited to the demand for education among our people. As the attendance grows the school will grow. The state of Oklahoma tends to meet every demand upon the tuition all but the people must encourage the growth by placing them young men and young women in school not on a month or two in the year but by having them in school cars in the west and keeping them there until the year closes. The departments of this school are adequate to the present demands of the time and as a demand we made new facilities will be added when the people learn to appreciate them. The catalogue of the school shows that students are in it once from many states, outside of 001 may, which is a healthy prospect for the future of the University. There is a school from state, Missouri, Iowa and so forth as can be. With proper effort on the part of the people and the faculty combined there is no reason why our Oklahoma University could not have an attendance within a few years that will make it one of the great schools of the country. THE INDUSTRIAL FEATURE AT LANGSTON. Langston University is following an industrial fortune which is different from any attempted along that line in the country he school has, at the present time 212 student farmers, with 185 acres under cultivation 22 acres in alfalfa, 20 acres in wheat, 15 acres in oats, 6 acres in sweet potatoes, 5 acres in garden, 10 acres in hog lots and 65 acres in corn, to feed the live stock at the station. Prof. Page is a firm believer in industrial education which so fittingly meets conditions in Oklahoma at this time, believing, as he does, that the young man and woman of this period must learn to meet every demand as Concluded on Page 4. but we doubt it.

POULTRY Demand Is Always Greater Than Supply and Prices Are Invariably Good—Eat Many Insects. The wild turkey in advance of the white man had a congenial home in almost all parts of the United States. Domestic turkeys are the descendants, more or less direct, of the wild ones. Therefore, since the United States was the original home of the wild turkeys, it is clearly adapted to the growing of the domesticated ones And no more profitable fowl can be grown on the interior farms, says the Up-to-Date Farming. The demand is always greater than the supply, the market is not cornered as is that of most other farm products, and prices are almost invariably good. We suppose a principal reason that more turkeys are not raised is a dread farmers have of their wild character istics. Some varieties retain the wild nature to a greater degree than others but it is a fact also that those which have most of the wild nature are the hardiest fowls. And this is a quality that need not discourage the grow- TURKEY Money Makers ora. The Bronze retains as much of the wild nature as any other variety, perhaps, and we have had a great deal of experience with that breed of turkeys. They are very likely to wander and they will seek remote places for their nests, but after all they are quite a domestic fowl, and can easily be kept in love with their home and prompt to return to it at night. They will learn to go where they can find feed. A neighbor's wheat field in summer, or corn shocks in autumn may win them if feed is scarce in the fields at home, but if they have ready feeds at morning and night, they are not so apt to stray from the home grounds; and if they have a suitable roosting place where they are not disturbed at night, they are very likely to return to it every evening. And the farm that supports a flock of turkeys will not support so many grasshoppers and other insects as will the farm that has no turkeys. Many times have we been in the fields with the turkeys and watched them catch those pests. We have seen them take their places in a row as regularly as men could place them, and thus march across a pasture or freshly harvested meadow or wheat or oat field, and the grasshopper or other insect that rose before them was sure a "goner." We believe turkeys may thus benefit a farm to the full value of what it costs to raise them. Besides they are making of this worthless raw material a valuable market commodity. POULTRY HEALTH AND VIGOR Prime Importance of These Qualities in Breeding of Fowls Discussed by Prof. Rice of Cornell. Prof James H. Ilice, of Cornell university, speaking recently on 'The results of the Second Year's Experiments in Breeding for Constitutional Vigor,' before the New York State breeders' meeting, said that it had been felt for some time that the health and vigor of the foal is one of the most important factors in poultry breeding. Under forced feeding the hens were brought up to laying 150 to 160 eggs each per year. This meant a heavy strain on the hen and has resulted in constitutional weakness. Just as Prof Rico had brought his hens up to the high standard of laying, he was dismissed to find that only 60 per cent, of the eggs hatched, and that only 50 per cent of the chickens lived. To remedy this the hens were given plenty of fresh air, green food and exercise. They were allowed to range at liberty. The big proposition in the poultry business is to raise good strong healthy chickens. The situation that confronts us is that the period of usefulness in the hen covers only about two years, and if we are to make a successor of the business we must have good strong chickens to replace our flocks. The speaker then took up the matter of cross-breeding, and described the different experiments along those lines at Cornell. He said that nothing had been gained in the or vigor by crossing, and spoke emphatically against the practice.

Yet a few persons that are called "undcairables" (because of some mistake they have a ale) are branded by the few, and others who are undesirables are accepted freely because of their popularity or because some one in their clique holds them up. If there was a standard by which all could be judged and that standard meted out alike to the "up" as well as the "down" the society line could perhaps be justly drawn. But where there are those in society known by those out to be their equal, it is unfair to them to draw the line against them. We don't particularly care to be told of our sins, but we prefer to have it done by example than by procept. Miss Dora McNutt is here for the summer vacation.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUBSCRIBER A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The good, mature editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it. It is of disdainly, in which one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives. When in North Topeka See W. S.

When these injuries occur too much joint oil is secreted, causing a bulging of the ligament. Lamenessseldom accompanies a bog spain. If lameness be present other structures are certain to be affected, and some pain and heat will be noticed, together with a stiffness of the joint. Treatment consists of applications of cold water to the affected parts and a lotion made of two tablespoonfuls acetate of lead in a quart of water. A blister made of one teapoonful bimilde of mercury and four tablespoonfuls lard, rubbed in a little with the fingers, and repeated ? Bog Spavin. In ten days or two weeks and continued for some months, will correct the trouble. Wash the parts having received the blister twenty-four hours after application. It is also advisable to tie the horse a head while the blister is on, so that he cannot bite the part. Flock Should Be Watched Closely, Especially In Warm, Damp Weather, to Keep Paste Away. When the sheeps wool becomes filthy and the skin irritated an ideal condition is made for the work of the maggot fly. And when the maggots get a start they create a more and more friendly habitat for their kind as they work and increase in numbers under the wool, says the Sheep Breeder. A sheep infected with maggots is a most pitiful sight, helpless against the parasites eating out its flesh until sheep dies, its life gnawed out in a most cruel manner. For the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, sheep should be saved from such suffering. These files can do no damage if not given a suitable place to lay their eggs. Sheep should be watched carefully, especially in warm, damp weather, and dirty tag locks or other filth clipped off and a little tar dabbed on if the skin is chafed. These maggots also get in their work under ram's horns. Indeed a ram with heavy horns lying close to his head will hardly pass through a summer without inflection unless the flies are kept away by putting some tar on the ram's head. An infected sheep can be told by the fact that it refuses to eat, stands with its head down and most often by itself and stumps its feet or jerks its head exert as initiation by maggots would lead one to expect. The remedy is simple. Cut away the wool close. Clean out all maggots, using turpentine to wash them out. Smear the place thoroughly with tar. Then keep watch of the sheep to see that the sheep do not again start in the same the parasites is essential, for one left in will start the damage all over. The Ideal Horse Stable. A well known stockman says: The ideal table should have the horse facing north to obtain an even temperature. It should not be too large so that you keep the animal heat under control and not have stable temperature either materially rarefed or lowered when half a dozen animals are either taken out or brought in. The ventilation should be perfect and as strong as possible up to the inquisitive draught point. Let the ceiling be as high as convenient, and if the wise builder has left an inch or so open around the upper edge, where the stablemen cannot stop it up all the better. Apples given in small quantities make an excellent feed for cakes. There is no better way of getting on good terms with the youngsters than by quartering sweet apples and feeding to them from the hand. Arthur E.

FRIDAY, MAY 26, 41. The Langston Industrial Company of Coyle, Ohio, have placed an addition to the town of Langston, the seat of the state Colored Agricultural and Normal University, in the market for sale to Negro investors. This property is built fully located and situated in a healthy location, well drained and within easy distance of the road, running from Coyle to Guthrie, Ohio. The surrounding country is an excellent agricultural section and the farmers around the neighborhood are well to do. They have their own homes and are following a comfortable and easy life. Aside from this they are a charm, education and moral settlement making it one of the most desirable locations for those who have children to educate, or consult who prefer a locality where the social tone is such as to make living pleasant and desirable. In the neighborhood are good schools and churches of all denominations, good markets for whatever they may desire to raise, in the way of live stock and produce. Special incomes are offered to those who prefer to make investments in business, large and small, and those who have money with which to establish commercial enterprises will find no better location for their investments than in the new addition to Langston the Langston Industrial District. Their advertisement appears in another page of The Plumletler, which we hope will be read by the live and wide awake people of the town, with the hope of creating a wider sentiment to wards race action of. The effects of this company are men who are well known in the community. Men who have made a success in their own affairs. Men who have demonstrated the fact that they are able to handle business in every way, for themselves and for others. They are men who know a good thing when they see it and have placed this addition upon the market for the reason that they know they have just what it is being done by those who are seeking new locations, in a new country where opportunities are offered such as are never found in the other states. Mr. L. Houghton president of the company, a man who is well known in Guthrie is one of the most successful business men in that section. He is one of the only others of the state and has committed a considerable sum of money by the attention to business. His name of standing makes him thoroughly responsible for every transaction with which he is involved. Mr. M. L. Houghton, the vice president, is also well known in the business affairs of the state and is responsible for every transaction with which he is associated. These gentlemen are interested in and affects of the People's State bank of Coyle. Mr. Houghton is the president of this institution and Mr. L. Houghton is co-chair. Mr. Linn has spent many his entire life in the banking business and understands the financial edulgence of which he is willing to give the people who are interested in the Langston Industrial Addition the benefit in placing this property upon the market. Then bank has a capital stock of $100,000 with a surplus and profits of $50,000. This Addition is a gilt edge proportion and those who are interested in have no hesitancy in doing business with Mussel Houghton and Linn. In costing about for the purpose of knowing why so many colored men in Houston, formerly trusted employees in the largest stores in the business district, have lost out, long succeeded by white men, the African observes that in most cases, the colored patrons and helpers who were charged with their either had too many women or the string or were given largely to smoking and drinking. You must for it to poker and monte to say nothing of the time spent at the clubs has cost a number of them no figure in it to pay court costs and lawyer fees, to be about house rent, to disguise their families to dishome their lodges and chapels, to help opprobrium upon the so-called all others similarly employed as a class of thieves, and finally, to make it wholly impossible to continue for an abat line of service. MR. R. H McDANIELS OF GUTHRIE OKLAHOMA Mr. R. L. M. Donald is a young man, just in the prime of his life, who is making his mark in the financial world. This young man is a native in the state of Texas, was raised upon a farm, and after finishing his common school education entered Bishop College, at Marshall, Texas, which college he attended four years. After having that school he went to Chicago and took up the trade of tailoring in one of the largest est. livelihoods in that city, as cutter, leaving Chicago, he made a trip into the Puebla of Mexico, where he remained for two years. Six years ago he came to Gustini and started his business, with considerable success. Mr. McDunbile threw one year of age his first birthday, which was celebrated a few days ago upon his return to his native land upon a visit to his parents at Waco, Texas. Mr. McDunbile is engaged in the tailoring business in his own building, corner of Second and Harrison streets, Gustrie, which he recently purchased for $500. He is a first class tailor and does his own outing and fitting, making a garment to contiued from Page 1. broad winter and no avenue offers such inducements as those of the farmer and stock farmer. The farmers, who are the parents of the students who support the instruction would prefer that their children know the practical methods of training and allied interests and the skills are devised to meeting the needs for industrial education. Aside from the features mentioned, there is in connection with the work a department devoted to instruction in blacksmithing and carpentry where the student is taught the use of tools for general use upon the farm and in the home. It is placed not to note the interest taken by the students in the industrial departments and how readily they take to the work. The enrollment of the school at present is 10, of which 5 are young women and 5 are young men. The faculty are kept busy only and late, in their different departments and the eagerness with which they go about their work and the interest taken in every student proves that faithfulness to the duty assigned them. The system is through in every way and with an hour and a task and a place for every thing and every tool makes a visit to the institution full of interest from beginning to end. The nurses department under the management of Dr. Conrad of Coutinho is another fortune that deserves mention. In the hospital the skirt are cut and every attention given them by Dr. Conrad and his corps of nurses is training them as a whole at my truthfully and that long-term university is a place full of interest and well worth a trip to in-part methods and one and a half to in-part methods and one and no prints are spelled to make their stay both interesting and present. A trip through the great dining room at medical is an interesting to see that their hands of students, too, tremble, go and coming from their meals every student to his post and every one on time is a thing to the rules of the school.

Centre FARM AND GARDEN HESSIAN FLY INJURES WHEAT Pestiferous Little Insects Burrow Into Straw, Weakening It and Causing it to Fall Over. In reply to a query as to the best method of ridling a field infested with the injurious little Hessian fly the Wallaces' Farmer makes the following reply: The Hessian fly severely damaged much winter wheat late last fall, but the pest is not yet done with its evil work. These brown objects which our correspondent wrongfully calls eggs will turn into little black flies about one tenth of an inch long, resembling small mosquitoes. They will lay more eggs on the wheat, and the maggots which come out of these eggs will, by burrowing into the straw, cause further damage. They weaken the straw and cause it to fall over. What can we do with a field infested with Ilexian fly? If the infestation is slight, and but few of the plants are killed we would let the ground stay in wheat, trusting that the wheat will stick out sufficiently Heaslan Fly (Much Enlarged.) to make a good stand, and that the weather and parasitic enemies will reduce the number of flies and maggots of the next brood. If the damage is heavy, however, and practically all the plants are infested and half or two thirds of them are killed, we would probably plow up the crop and plant to oats or any crop other than wheat. Dry weather is unfavorable to the development of the little brown objects called flaxseeds, which later develop into flies. It may be, therefore, if the spring continues dry, there will not be much harm from the spring brood or maggots. In most cases of very heavy infestation of wheat by the fly, and where it is desired to get the ground down to clover, we would be inclined to disk at the earliest possible moment, and seed to oats and clover. If our correspondent seeds to wheat again in the fall he would very likely be troubled again with Hessian fly unless he plowed the stubble under or burned it off immediately after taking off the present wheat crop. Even then he might be troubled with flies coming in from adjacent fields. To prevent Hessian fly damage, rotate crops. Hessian fly does not hurt any small grain to any extent except wheat. Late fall seeding also helps to prevent injury. AMERICAN POTATO IS BARRED Shortage of French Crop Being Filled by Importations From Other European Countries. (By CONSUL. GENERAL P. IL MASON.) The shortage in the French potato crop has created a deficit which is being filled by large importations from other European countries, notably Great Britain, Austria, Germany and Belgium. Importations of potatoes from the United States to France had been prohibited since the decree of 1875, which was inspired by fear of the Colorado potato bug, until that decree was an nullled on October 15, 1910, opening the French markets to potatoes from the United States, provided they are clean, free from the soil in which they were grown, and the packages in which they are shipped contain no stems or leaves of the potato plant. As a result of this long prohibition American potatoe are practically unknown in France, and French importers have no acquaintance or established relations with American exporters which would enable the trade to be promptly taken up. Since the withdrawal of the prohibitory decree Partly for this reason, and partly because many French people have still a lingering dream of some possible disease in American potatoes and do not even know that the prohibition against them has been withdrawn, they have not yet appeared in any appreciable quantity on the Paris market. Crop Retation. Crop rotation, in which the legumes, such as cow peas, soy beans, vetch and the clovers, have a prominent place, will build up the soil and place an unprofitable farm upon a paying basis. Plan a rotation that will improve the fertility of the soil, and at the same time keep up the income from the farm. This is progressive agriculture.

Wagon tongues are often subjected to great strain and it is no uncommon thing for them to break under it. A Kansas genius has devised a means to support them in both downward and sideways movement and for a great extent guard against such accident. A rod is run through the front end of the wagon body and furnishes a grip for two hooks, each of which is connected to a ring ```markdown ``` Iron Rods Share the Strain. yielding rods. Running forward from this ring is a third and larger yielding rod which is connected to a cils which encloses the wagon tongue near the middle. The advantage of this attachment will be readily seen. Any strain on the wooden tongue is shared by the iron rods, which being made yieldable by spring parts is their centers give just enough lee way without allowing the tongue to snap in two.

It is Saw Tooth Weeder. made of a piece of steel of about the thickness of a garden trowel and one inch wide. Hold it and attach a handle, then file or grind in the sharp tech as shown. Peas In Succession. Peas in succession may be had in two ways. First, by planting the earl kinds in installments from one to two weeks apart until probably three plantings are made, second, by selecting sorts that mature from a week to two days apart and planting them on the same day. For instance, plant on the same day Alaska, Lightning Express and American Wonder—in different parts of the garden. If you raise your own seed FARM NOTES Plowing takes more time than any other farm operation. Remember frequent salting of the cattle in the back pasture Harrow as you plow, and keep hard rowing after the grain is up. Don't neglect to plant sweet corn at least three times—six is better. Give the late sown grain a formaldehyde bath, and raise better bushels and more of them. Clover seed is one of the most profitable crops the farmer can grow if his land is suitable for clover. Potatoes should never be planted on low, moist land, as the potatoes are sure to be greedy when cooked. If you want into winter beets, plant early beet seed in July and the roots will mature before cold weather comes. Dry, gravelly soil will produce well-flavored thin skinned, floury potatoes and a rich clay loam the largest yield. Cabbage does not begin to head up until cool weather comes, and early plants do not make as fine heads as those set later. Cabbage needs cultivating very often during the summer. This causes it to put out broad leaves, which will bring big heads in the fall. Most people set out their late cabbage plants too early in the season. About the Fourth of July is a good time and early enough. Plant radishes a few at a time and often, say about five days apart. This will give a succession all summer, and these are good for the stomach. When you plant canalclogs over a bit of radish or turnip seed in the field. These will come up first and keep the bugs busy till the vines get a start. Now turtles in the row about July 12, sowing them in rows a foot apart and thinning to four inches apart in the rows after the plants got started. to the Town of Langston, Logan County, Oklahoma.
