ICo.-have dried this season one
thousand tons. Gathering the
fruit begins in September, be-
ing shaken from the trees, and
at the dryers it is run through
the grader which separates the
sizes. To illustrate the grading,
prunes that will count out and
weigh from sixty to seventy to
the pound, for short are called
Cos or Cos to 7Os. After grading

on trays on the drying ground,

CRITICISM OF OKLAHOMA NAMES.
The Kansas City Gazette says recent
" in its editorial columns:

The Kansas City Gazette says recent

ION REED TALKS.

The later man from Maine is not
d-Of-hiS-tongue," if he
did prove a little reticent while abiding
in the wilderness. The car of the
house is in Washington and the first
word he uttered after reaching his
hotel was anything but complimentary
of Cleveland. "On finance we must
wait until we hear from Mr.. Cieve-
land" said Reed, in characteristic fash
ion. 1.-THE president has had so much
success with his financial policies in the
past that we couldn't think of adopt
ing any plans till we hear from him"
Mr.. Reed seemed quite amused at the
idea of Mr.. Cleveland having a finan-
cial plan to lay before a Republican
congress. This in face of the fact that
the whole Democratic party is expect
ing thunderbolts from the White House
which by their logical irTesistability
are TO carry the country with him.
This kind of hot shot talk from a re-
cogniZed candidate for the presidency
doubles up the faithful, who
fall back in heaps with the single yet
hope in Growers promise 10
do up Mr.. Reed and his party. Mr..
Reed as yet gives no hint as TO what
sort of a policy he intends pursuing.
He does not help us guess whether he
is going 10 be simply speaker or pres |
idential candidate first and speaker |
However he does say that (

MAKE WAY FOR KAFFIR.

| With a slow certainty the reign Of
Kansas and Oklahoma is coming.
Kaffir corn will grow in desert. None
Of western and southern Kansas or Ok
| lahoma is desert, but there are per-
iods. sometimes cruelty extended. when
Indian maize succumbs TO the torrid
blasts OF summer, and so there are
times when Kaffir corn. and its drouth-
defying nature is very necessary.
Within the last year, even when the
corn crop was unusually large. the
popularity of this stranger from Africa
has increased marvelously. Seeming

into the kitchen and finds a place on
the table and is given plate equally
as prominent as the wheat Of the
bread, the plump potato or the pump
kin of the pie.
For the dynasty of Kaffir mush and
Kaffir cakes and Kaffir ''gems" is up
on us.
Kaffir mush is made from the meal Of
the small grain of the plant. 1t is
edible and nourishing and is very
cheap. To the man who insists on
adding the sauce Of high prices TO
everything he eats. Kaffir muSh will
not amount to much. But to the west

nourishment are wholesome and tooth I

And there is Kaffir corn cakes. The

of traditional prejudices and artificial
whims of appetite.
1t is the same way with the "gems"
made from Kaffir. They are a splen-
did article of food, pure and whole
some, and today in many hundreds of
homes in southern and western Kan
saS and Oklahoma, they will come in
along with the turkey and the cram
berries to make the feasters double

1t is true that some of the principal
names in Oklahoma were originally
made by the railroads and lingual
beauty. Guthrie is named after a To-
peka man who has probably never been
in Oklahoma and knows little about IL
and cares less. Chandler was named
after public official who is not known,
except for his elopement with his type
writer last week
So there is no sense in asking Okla
hona TO rename either its counties,
towns or streams. For, granting that
some Of the names are offensive to the
refined ears Of the Kansas City editor
with the cardinal top-knot, still Okla
homa meadows would be just as rich.
its cotton and wheat fields just high
and wide and its people just as con-
tented, under one name as another.
