By the Public We, the members of Second Baptist Church of Junction City regret very much to have our pastor, Rev. C. A. Holt resign from the pastorate of our church. Rev. C. A. Holt has been with our church for two years. He made for himself many friends, he also had his names, which everyone will have of they are Christians. Christ had omnies and why not we, who are nothing in comparison as good as our Lord. We the loyal members who ever stand for right and justice, who have always stood for one Lord, one Faith and one baptism, our say that Rev. H. It led us to success. While here Rev. Holt did a great work, during his administration a new church pastor, a baptistry and city water have been added to our church property. More than fifty members added to the church. We can but hope to succeed with tidal as our leader. That was Rev. Holt's motto. We pray for his success in other fields of labor. He has been called to pastor the St Paul Baptist Church, Du Quoin, Ill. We regret very much to have him leave us, because he was a Christian gentleman a man that believed in raising the standard of Christian morality of the black man. He left Junction City without spot on blight on his morals. Mrs. Molle Miller made a trip to Hutchinson Sunday Mrs. Mary Clark left Monday on a visit to Garden Plain The members of the G.L.

Kinser NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Boys League will hold its twelfth Annual Meeting at Little Rock, Arkansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday August 10th, 17th, and 18th, 1911. Those intending to be present should notify W. M. Alexander, NUMBER 22 Chairman Committee on Homes, 604½ W. 9th Street, Little Rock, as early as possible. Governor George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, is manifesting great interest in the Local League of his entire willingness to do everything possible toward making the meeting a success. Governor Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the most important white citizens of Little Rock joined with the Local League of Little Rock in inviting the National Organization to Little Rock. The citizens have already begun to make extensive preparations for this meeting. In annual meetings of the National Negro Business League are yearly increasing in value and helpfulness to the race. They bring progressive colored men and women together from every section of the country, and afford a chance to be some acquainted and exchange ideas with each other. Moreover, the deliberations of the meeting, and the opportunity which the members of other races are afforded to learn of what the Negro is doing for himself, are helpful in the highest degree. Lastly, the annual session which every person usually takes can be made both inexpensive, delightful and profitable by attendance at these meetings of the National Negro Business League. Hon. J. E. Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made for the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern members of the League present in large numbers. "It is no further from New York to Little Rock than it is from Little Rock to New York, and Arkansas has always been largely represented at every meeting of the National Organization." Bush assures the Northern members that the progress which the colored people of Arkansas have made will fully warrant their coming South in large numbers. The railroads have already consented to make an attractive rate for this coming meeting, and delegates are especially urged to give attention to the matter of arranging for Pullman or tourist or puttees. Further information will be furnished regarding this feature within the next week or ten days. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUBSORIBER A court decision has lately been read- ered in Massachusetts on what consti- tutes 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-natured 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 road 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 as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.

CRACKS IN HORSE'S HOOFS Breach From Bottom, as Shown in Illustration, Can Be Restrained by the Use of Clips. Sandcracks commence either from the top or the bottom of the crust. When from the top, the coronary band is often involved, and there is pain and lameness, perhaps some escape of blood and insuffaction of dust before the patient reaches home, if the accident has occurred on the road, as it commonly does. Treatment fig.1 fig.2 should be adopted directly a break occurs in the hoof, as it is always disposed to enlarge. As sandracks vary from the mere splitting of a few superfiel fibers to deep breeches extending right through the crust, it will be obvious that different measures must be taken, and slight cases treated while at work. The diagram is intended to illustrate a breach from the bottom, which can be restrained by clips. FARROWING HOUSE IS CHEAP Front Part of Gable is Hinged at Top and Can Be Opened to Admit Sunlight and Air. Last winter I built several individual hog houses after a plan very well liked by my neighbors, says a writer in the Farm and Home. The houses are six feet long and four feet wide and cost $1 for the material. The drawing shows the shape of the house and gives the dimensions. The front part of the gable is hinged at the top and can be opened to let in sunlight and air. This door must be open a little all the time or else one must have a Cheaply Built Farrow House. small window or opening for ventilation. The opening at the top makes it very convenient to care for the sow and her pls. Taking Pride In Stock The proportion of live stock really well grown is not large. This is not so much because of the lack of food as of the lack of those nice little attentions so necessary to the proper utilization of food, such as feeding it in a palatable condition and at regular times. The average owner does not take the interest that he ought to. When he takes a pride in his stock he is sure to give it close attention, and with close attention comes success. Such a taste can be cultivated in the same way as any other taste or liking. LIVE STOCK NOTES West the green colt in easy The horses' shoulders need attention. Next to corn, clover is about the best hog feed, while both mixed always show good results. Train the colt before he is six months old, and you can control his disposition when he is older. For growing calves, sheep and hogs, oilmeal can constitute about one-tenth of the grain ration fed and prove very beneficial. As long as the breeding of a sow is profitable she should be bred. It is not advisable to sell off a good brood animal. Pigs should not be too fat for the first six months. Development of bone and muscle should be the first consideration. A shed that is warm and poorly ventilated will often cause the sheep's wool to loosen, besides injuring the animal's vitality. Newly broken colts should not be worked too hard this spring. They are apt to overstrain themselves and be injured for life. Never give drugs to a horse any more than you would to a baby unless he is downright sick. Shutting off his feed will cure all minor lilies. Medium sized hogs are now most in favor. It is best to feed hogs for only eight or ten months. After they are a year old the feeding is not probable. Sows should be bred in trises. Then if two of them should produce small litters, all the pigs may be given to one sow, and the other may be again bred or fattened and sold.

Get ready the lamb creep so they can get a good start Wood charcoal should always be kept in the hog pen A small threshing outfit on the average farm will not pay Let the grass get a good start before turning the stock on it The last of May is plenty early enough to turn the calf out on grass Working out butter milk and working in salt is where the overworking is done. The borer is the most common and it is the most troublesome enemy of the peach. It is a good plan to have the horses and cows clean up their mangers after each feed. Have grass puddock for the calves so they can graze at will and have the exercise they need. A farm raised cow is much superior in most every respect to the one bought at the cattle yards Don't forget the little ducks in case of a shower, for if you do one will be apt to have dead ducks Belgian or yellow carrots are hardy, make large root growth and are the best roots for horses and colts The most inhuman measures are often employed for "breaking up" hens that nature prompts to set when their owners don't want them to Grading of cream is receiving more attention by the dairy press and dairy men than it possibly ever has in the history of the dairy business In squabs the flesh is whitish, as seen through the skin but in a year-old bird it takes on a light purple shade and grows darker with age From the young tree in the orchard right from the start. Low-hued trunk, but the creme press from the top down and not from the bottom up It has been shown repeatedly on demonstration farms that disking before plowing is one of the most paying operations in the preparation of a reed bed when the calf is two weeks old only one to a pound of lined soil and one to a pound of flour mud during which should be thoroughly aided in each food and of cannflower cabbage lettuce celery and tomatoes, down in the cold trough about the middle of this month will turnish good stock plants for in principal early summer crop The utter of a gilt, which is the first litter of a sow, are usually smaller and slower in growth than when the dam is of more mature age, hence much profit must not be expected. Cold frame plants are often better than plants raised in the hotbed, as they are stouter thick stemmed and have more fine fibrous roots and are less liable to wilt when set out in the open ground. are too low to feed young pigs for parkers, it is better to sell them for sucking pigs, although this plan is seldom resorted to owing to the better prices which are obtainable for the former. August is none too early to decide which plants shall be taken into the window garden and their treatment from the time of the decision should be such as will fit them to make a fine display during the winter, rather than get the finest present showings. In the newer methods adopted in some of the largest dairies the milk is not touched by the hands of the workers from the time the cows are automatically milked with a machine to the time the fluid is placed in bottles ready for delivery. In the flower garden sow sweet peas outdoors just as early as possible. It is important to get them in early, because the more growth made in cool weather, the more flowers there will be. These from late-planted seeds are not nearly so successful. Plant tomatoes four feet apart each way. Don't forget to spray the grapevines. The Homer pigeon is the best bird for squab raiding. Sometimes litter gets so filthy that it is worse than none. Leave it to the old hen to pick out the best nest to lay in. To improve live stock require intelligence and thought. Among all dwarf growing trees the Japanese maples stand first. If possible grow potatoes on clover sod; this saves buying fertilizers. Oats is the standard grain for the healthy development of young animals. In the fattening pen give the pigs all they will readily clean up but no more. Many farmers use a boar of different breed of that of their sows to produce a cross Sound, healthy cows can only be had by good stabling, careful feeding and good water When the chicks can get away from it at will, plenty of heat under the hover is a good thing. After the calf has learned to drink, a little fine hay should be tied up in the pen for the calf to nibble. Almost all flower seeds germinate more quickly if soaked in warm water for a few hours before planting. Do not plant trees with a bunch of spreading roots. Trim them off to within four or five inches of the root stock. Don't forget to give the little ducks plenty of drinking water, and after one week old they want it to swim in, too. Horses that are clipped dry off fast at night. This is better than having them stand around in a heavy wet coat. A once lively faith in the existence and possibilities of strains of hens which would produce 300 eggs a year has decayed At the end of five to eight days re move the calf to a roomy, clean box stall and give a clean dry bed of wheat or oat straw. The feeding and management of the young calves should be in the hands of a competent hand and not left to the boys or carcass help. Many a man has been surprised at the effect of one load of barnyard maize scattered about under a tree. It gives new life and fruitfulness. The only way to make a profit with poultry is to attend to the best trees and not leave the feeding and management of the flock to hired help. Extreme care must be taken of the thin seedlings, for if allowed to get dry they will almost surely die and if kept too moist they incline to "dump off." The proper record in successful root cut to clean, mallow deep soil, lit and fertilizing only sowing and early culture as soon as the plants can be dripped even. A light and roll will be rather beneficial by working it when moist, as much will have a tendy to make it more compact and consequently more retentive of moisture. Kibabar is of easy cultivation, and when once planted, the ground kept clean mallow and heavily manured, will turn in a generous supply of juicy stalks for eight to ten years without removal. The horse can be made to instilicate his food by putting finely cut hay with the grain. A ration of half prairie grass hay and half alfalfa will give almost as good gains as a ration of alfalfa alone. A Virginia man writes that for years he has sown a small patch of buckwheat for his hens and he says he is quite certain that they thrive better and lay more eggs than they did without this grain. Since the cost of growing an acre of roots is two or three times as great as that of growing an acre of corn, the yield of dry matter being little more, it seems poor farm practice to abandon the village in favor of roots. Poor soil management means in the end complete or partial soil exhaustion, which is a condition of the soil in which it is deficient in humus content, or food content, or moisture content, or all three, and they usually go together. Good sires are very essential if hogs of the highest quality are to be grown and a uniformly profitable herd built up. Only pure-bred boars should be kept and these should be carefully selected to insure propensity, quality and soundness.

Chief Griffin, of Kansas City, Mo., ought to resign if he cannot locate the party or parties who are dynamiting the homes of honest, hardworking colored people simply because they live in a district where a lot of poor white scalywsgs dwell in rented houses. No decent, respectable white man would resort to such a method. He would move out first and buy where no people could get close to them unless they had wealth We believe that a Chief Griffin wants to capture these outlaws he should start on W. N. Casey and give him a thorough sweating. In fact a few of the underworld among the whites in the Tenth ward could reveal the identity of the guilty persons Floyd Jacobs an assistant prosecutor seems to be interested. He has been South and returned to see what trouble he could make for the colored people in Kansas City by comparing things in the uncivilized south with those in the North. What Floyd and his gang needs to do is go somewhere else and buy it the colored property owners are keeping prices down or buy them all out if the crowd can borrow the money, but from the sound of the talk made by the gang at Posey's hall they can scarcely live. We think the leaders of the crowd had better examine their dust history before becoming too severe on the colored brother; they may discover a mixture of the races that they were not looking for, at least we may find it for them We must compliment Chief Griffin for not giving encouragement to the officers who came around with hypocritical intention. This has been going on for more than a year and the officers have not made the least attempt to apprehend the perpetrators. It would be wise for the property owners to look out for themselves. MEMORIAL DAY. Decoration Day is one that should fill every true American with love and kindness. The memory of the past should compell us to reverence and respect the laws of our country and the Old Boys in blue who offered their lives for this very cause, and they commemorate this day as a reminder for generations to follow. How one man can cry down another because he is of a different hue or color is more than we can comprehend—especially when the war between the states was fought on the lines that all is on duty the freedom of the government alike All honor and glory to the Old Boys in blue people of Solown county will for ever cherish the union of A. T. (Bert) Lucas and just be swayed to rise work and fellow and fellow Shawnee c. two terms as sheriff, and at the time of his death was engaged in the real estate business. He stood high in the ranks of the Republican party and was considered to be one of the best campaign engi- neers in Shawnee county. He is survived by a loving and devoted wife, daughter and an aged father and mother and a host of warm friends. The Out Look foray contains the beginning of a series of articles by Booker T. Washington on life and labor in the continent. He visited several places of importance where he studied labor conditions. His first stop was at Prague Bohemia, a country where the struggle is similar to that of the American Negro slave and except the execution of laws which are equally interpreted. He found the average Bohemian woman living in a two room house and working for less than the American who performs the same class of work. We think there is much food for thought in the first article and will be of great benefit to the American laborers. The white American laborer will be able to see that it is better to join hands with his colored worker and lift him above the foreigner who will sit time if allowed to continue, migrate to America in great numbers, cheapen our labor and reduce all to mere serfdom. ROCKY FORD, COLO Mr I Winslow and Mrs Hazel Winslow who were sick, are very much impaired. Mr. os Hanna visited her daughter Mr. Loon king, in Public, last week.

In the first place, you get what you buy; no shoddy or run-down features in cur preposition. Secondly, you buy in an old and well established community, an educational centre, a social center in a Negro town, close to railroad and only fourteen miles from the city of Guthrie, where factories, warehouses and mercantile institutions are an inducement for large investors. In fact, this is a ground-floor proposition, which bears the closest investigation. Address all communications to The Langston Industrial Co. COYLE, OKLAHOMA. The Most Liberal Langston is one of the oldest Negro towns in the United States Its history dates back to the opeding of Oklahoma to settlement. The town is very beautifully located in a high and healthy elevation with an abundance of good water and a good public telephone system owned and operated by a local company. There are excellent schools and churches, established business houses and everything established that would encourage progressive Negro to make a home there. The Big Cotton Mill When the Langston Industrial Written has been properly appreciated by the public and has been sold sufficient to insure the building of the cotton mill the mill will be built and through the channel employment opened for those who live in Cwls and have to A market will be created for the raw material by the farmers around these towns.

Coyle is the railroad station for Langston and a white town where considerable business is transacted, yet there are all the regular business houses in Langston where Negroes are making their showing as men capable of attending to their own business affairs. The location is all that could be desired--level and healthy. The landerpe is inviting and a trip to Langston will convince the prospective buyer that our addition is as good in investment as can be found anywhere. Our assertion that our proposition is the most liberal and attractive proposition of its nature ever offered to any people white or colored " we are ready to stand to aid to demonstrate by actual view. The Langston industrial addition is all that is claimed for it. Investigate and join the Langston community. WATER FOUNTAIN FOR CHICKS Bottle Arranged as Shown in Illustration Furnishes Little Follows Drinking Place. The Illustration shows a drinking fountain for little chicks.

CURE FOR EGG EATING HABIT Feed and Care Is Only Remedy—An range Nests in Dark Corner So Eggs Cannot Be Seen. In answering the query, "how can one prevent hens from eating their eggs," the Farm, Stock and Home makes the following reply: This habit is usually acquired by fowls that are closely confined during the winter months, or are kept in small yards. The fowls long for something to eat that they do not have, and eggs on the floor or in open nests seem to supply the deficiency. You cannot cure them of this habit by any form of punishment. Feed and care for them in such a way that they will lose all desire to eat the eggs, if possible to do so. Arrange their nests in dark corners of the NEST ENTRANCE Nest In Dark Corner. poultry house so that they cannot see the eggs. As a rule they quit the habit of their own accord just as soon as spring comes and they have the run of the farm. A dark nest can be easily made from a good sized box by partitioning off as per diagram. Preserving Eggs. Daub a little vaseline all over the egg, being careful to cover every part, then keep it in a cool place. It will keep for months in good condition, and come out nearly as good as new laid, says the Cultivator. Or warm the vaseline until liquid and roll the egg around in it, being sure every spot of the shell has been touched by the oil. A five-cent bottle of vaseline will coat at least five dozen, and probably more eggs POULTRY NOTES If you think of buying stock get the best. Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk The first feed for young chicks should be water and fine grit. Geese are essentially grazers, and give very little trouble to rear. Skim milk is one of the best feeds for laying hens at any season. When chicks get hungry do not withhold feed because a certain time has not elapsed. Bear in mind in poultry raising that cleanliness is one of the necessary factors for success. Allow mature chickens as well as chicks to forage on grass or clover as much as possible in spring. Age does not impair a capon as it does a cockerel, provided the bird is not kept longer than a year and a half. After the chicks are four or five weeks old whole wheat may be given to them, and perhaps no other grain is better. Tame hens are better layers than wild ones, and any hen can be kept tame and quiet if she is properly treated. Geese after being fully feathered require little more than a good roomy pasture where they can and plenty of grass. The most notable growth of the duck is between the third and fourth week of its age, when it often doubles its weight. Cover the floors with fine sand and have a box in a corner of the hen house, where the sun can pour on it, well filled with dry road dust. A Voice from the South.

James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mail 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 rechoming. 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 as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.

GUTHRIE The Mecca of Negro Education, Culture and Refinement...Manager Griffln Writes Entertainly of Educational and Business Matters. Since the establishment of the Negro schools of Guthrie, the cities have been able to point with pride to the work done by their schools, which have always been up to the standards of the best schools of the cities of old states. It has been the ambition of the Negroes of Guthrie to give their children the best advantages possible in the way of education and instruction, in consequence of which the families of Guthrie know that they have the smallest percent. In territory of any host of states, the United States. There are a few of the young Negroes of Guthrie who are only real students but who actual patients of the treatment and treatment of our literature. On this account they are in the proud place for ourselves and in much to the advantage. collectively and in daily for the service they have rendered the command. They have been extremely loyal in the service and the very best work possible without complaint, for that they have a place upon them which demands more than a mere service to satisfy a duty they are required to earn so cordling to certain works so hard down by their experience authority. Personally they have it a responsibility for the execution work of the destiny of the men and women of the race who have been entrusted to their charge and this responsibility they have carried out with a jalousie interest to make their work greater a comparison, not alone with the state of Oklahoma but with the best work done in the schools of the country. And they have succeeded with the ardor which comes not stony iron, the parents of the children who have gone out from their mother or more noticeably from the child from themselves who are usually better judges of service than the parents. It was to pleasure of the President to visit the schools during the coming week and see the actual demonstrations of the work done in the city which the train took place upon question for the benefit of those who were interested in school work to come out and see for themselves what is being done. The demonstrations were excellent. The ordinary program to be held was in imping and silent would take an entire hour that it is program in long education. We do not wonder at the people of God we are proud of the schools and their teachers we are not disappointed that we work of their oppressors. it is a picture in motion the work of Mrs. S. Windsor Wright, the supervisor of music and drawing in the and schools of College, whose work by students in her department is on exhibit here and in the auditorium of the high school. It is a delight that been accomplished with pride, and the gradual steps it has progressed of work from the experiment of "mudbell" in a and angles to the beautiful hard coaper and corrugated drawings from the conceptions of "advanced pupila. Mrs. Wright has demonstrated in her exhibition its ability which comes only to the born artists and which is dispensed to the student only as she absorbs the conceptions of the master. Mrs. Wright is a member of one the oldest families in the city and has taught in the world during the past five years. Her promotion to the place she now holds is due to a recognition of meritorious service. She has held the present position during the past two years and dur. ing that time she has given, no would be expected, the most suitable factory service. Two years in the work, it should be remembered, is only a start in the arrangement for an art department, but with proper encouragement the work of this department will be among the strongest features of the public of Gothene. When a fair demonstration of the influence of music in art have been made and the people of the city of retiring and time upon the minds of the youth who are just moulding character, the advantage of higher class will appear, the fact that these branches are just as essential as the higher classes in the colleges and universities. It is to be hoped that the work already begun by Mrs. Wright will just be hindered but will be kept up to the high standard which it has attained and that only the very best silent obtainable will be used in that department. 1. B. PROF. G. F. PERRY, Principal Lincoln High School, Guthrie, has the distinction of being at the head of a school that has won by actu ment a standing as being one of the best in the country regard less of color. Prof Perry has carefully selected his force of assistants and has thereby a working force that has made the Negro schools of Guthrie recognized as fully up to present day standards and the pride of the citizens of the community. The schools of Guthrie are among the oldest in the new state and have always had a reputation of being in charge of the best teachers to be had in the race; but Prof Perry has gone a step further than any teacher of previous time, in that he has been placed under a system which puts the grading of the pupils of the higher grades under the inspection of the county superintendent, who examines them and grades their work according to the standards which regulate the white schools. Recently an examination was held for eighth grade pupils and under the inspection of the county superintendent, Miss Beanie Capera, a pupil in the room of Miss Aurora Perry, daughter of Prof. Perry, passed an examination which gave her standing at the highest in the city and the second highest in the county of either white or colored Prof Perry came to Guthrie in the fall of 1905, from Carthage, Mo., at which place he had taught during the six years preceding his call to Guthrie. He was principal of the colored schools at Higginsville, Mo., for sixteen years. After coming to Guthrie he acted as assistant principal for two years before being pr moted to the place of principal while he now noble. During his stay here Prof Perry has made many friends among all classes of people, who recognize his ability as a teacher and who feel that in him they have the man who will till every demand for a school system that will be a credit to the community. The work of Prof. Perry is plain to be seen evidenced in the conduct and general department of the younger set of the city. No better behaved young people are to be found anywhere than upon the streets of Guthrie. With this condition existing, a better feeling seems to be growing between the rivers, which is a flattering reward for educational methods well spent and carefully applaud. DR HORACE W (ONRAD) of future is one of the foremost Ne- gro physicians of the state and his done more to advance the profes- sion among colored doctors than any other man in the state. His practice is the largest of any Negro in the West and he is constantly called to all parts of the state to handle complicated cases in medicine and surgery, many of which he is unable to attend. Dr. Conrad is a native of the state of Ohio, and studied in the schools of Cincinnati and Louisville, graduating from the Louisville National Medical college and the Medical College at Cincinnati. His first practice was in the state of Kentucky in the city of Paris. Leaving there in 1904, he came to Oklahoma and located at Perry, where he practiced nearly two years before coming to Guthrie, eight years ago, where he has been in active work since. Three years ago Dr. Conrad instituted the master training school at Langston University as a feature of the industrial course that school and has been successful from the beginning. The department has one of the most complete courses to be offered in its institute and supports a hospital at its beds, which is used for the treatment of patient students of the school, and as a facilities will allow for the convenience of the people in the neighborhood of the school. Dr. Conrad is a member of the leading secret societies and is an eminent knight in the order of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Supreme Lodge. Dr. Conrad is elevated to his profession and takes part in politics, public affairs other than law, in the ordinary citizen and in many higher with all the people of the community. Dr. Conrad resigned the office he held with the Langston school in order to attend to his increasing practice and hence forth he can be found at his office 117 South Second street. He owns considerable valuable realty including a beautiful residence on East Grant avenue. HON WM H HARRISON, attorney and counsellor at law, is an example of the possibilities in this new state for a young man possessed with the qualities which go to make a successful professional man, with ability and pluck behind the individual. Mr. Harrison is one of the leading men in his profession in Oklahoma and an acknowledged leader of the race in all matters in which they are concerned. This confidence of the people he has earned by carefully making his way step by step with the growth of the country and the influx of the Negro population into the new state. His record is that of a clean public, honorable in all his dealings and a constant student of the affairs of the country generally, which affect the Negro. He came into Oklahoma a few years ago, a young man who had just came out of school, where he had made his showing through his own perseverance and ambition to make his mark in the world—a self-made man in every way. He had had none of the intelligence of parents who were able to support him through school but was forced to make his own way to best he could until he secured his diploma from college. He had no trouble in passing the required examination and was admitted to practice before the courts of the state. From that date, he has made Oklahoma and Oklahoma City his home, mixing freely in the affairs that have made the history of the state during his time. Mr. Harrison was born in Clay County, Mississippi, upon a farm was educated at Roger.Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., after which he took a post graduate graduate course in Chicago University. He studied law at Walden University, graduating from that in 1902. For four years, before graduating from the law department of Walden, he taught higher mathematics at Roger.Williams University. In September, 1902, he was all mutted to practice law in Oklahoma, and from the beginning his success has been phenomenal. His record as a lawyer is unquelled in the Southwest, and his superior ability is recognized throughout the United States. As a criminal lawyer he is making a reputation that places him among the very best, in the state, and each case he handles only adds new honor to his already established reputation, in that line. He is the legal counsel for the National Baptist Convention, the largest body of Negroes in the United States, perhaps in the world. He is the leading counsel in the famous "Jim Crow" case, wherein the Negroes of the state of Oklahoma are suing the state of Oklahoma in order that they may get their rights out of which they were deprived in the passage of the Jim Crow legislation, in the first legislature of the new state. The case is now in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Harrison has others in the Baum Building Oklahoma City, which are beautifully and conspicuously furnished with everything which might be desired for the comfort and convenience of travel in his province, including a library worth $20,000. He is an active out worker and was chosen to agree to the Economical Congress with him at Kolonel, N. of India. He is not accumulated in profitable property some of which is in the hands for the sections of the city, and from which he collects good rentable to a rural man and has a family of two children, who are intelligent and interesting. Mr. Harrison is a young man with a bright future before him. He is a well-respected worker and an aggressive argument, the elements of a successfulenter, which he is amongst his people. In his hometown, Mr. Harrison is regarded as being the class and kind man who sociality appeals to the company of the best people and he is respected for his intelligence and ability as a professional man of the highest rank.

In reply to a query as to the best method of ridding a field infested with the infurious little Hessian fly the Wallacos' Farmer makes the following reply: The Hessian fly severely damaged much winter wheat into 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 filas about one tenth of an inch long, resembling small mosquitoes. They will lay more eggs on the wheat, and the muggots which come out of these eggs will, by hatching into the straw, cause further damage. They weaken the straw and cause it to fall ever What can we do with a field in fosted with heather in 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 grow out sufficiently. Hesslan 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 flavocoids, 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 plowell 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 F. H 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, German 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 annulled 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 potatoes 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 dread 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 Rotation. 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. SUPPORT FOR WAGON TONGUE Iron Rods Arranged to Strengthen Downward and Side Movements to Prevent Accidents. 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 to 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 by ```markdown ``` Iron Rods Share the Strain. Running forward from the ring is a third and larger yield, which is connected to a clips which encases the wagon tongue near to middle. The advantage of the equipment will be readily seen. An an on the wooden tongue is shown on the iron rod, which being made suitable by spring parts in their centers give just enough leeworthy without allowing the tongue to grip in two.

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.
