BARNES TAKES ISSUE
With Statements Alleging

How He Accounts for the
Refusal to Endorse.

takes issue with the published statement
that two-thirds Of the delegates in the
Enid convention were opposed T. endors-
ing The territorial administration. In an
interview today, he said: The Kansas
City star correspondent reports that the

convention at Enid was two to one
against endorsement Of teh administra-
ton. That stateBent IS on a par with the
stars usual malicious misrepresentation

Many say that in view Of the fact that

Hairy or Sand vetch.

stamensi d." pod. The vetches.
like the other leguminosae, are nitro
gen gatherers. The plant is a native
Of Western Asia, and has been Guilt
vatsd for about fifty years in some
pAtts Of Europe, especially Southern
Nsssta, Germany and France. 1t was
introduced Into this country about
18<1 under the name of Siberian
vstch. but Its cultivation here was
neglected till about twelve years ago.
In An experimental way 1t has in re-
can't years been grown in Washington.
Nebraska. Georgia. New Mexico, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Penn
sylvania and at Washington. D. G.
From all Of these localities excellent
reports of its growth have been re-
oeived. It stands the cold Of winter
well and also the drouth Of summer.
but It does not do well where there In
an excess Of water in the soil. It Is
one Of the most promising fodder
plants that has been brought into the
country in recent years. and by some is
considered especially valuable for
light. sandy soils.
Hairy vetch may be sown In autumn,
from about the middle of August to
the middle Of September, or in spring
from the latter part of April to the
middle Of May. 1t should be sown
broadcast. or with grain-drill. at the
rate OF one to one and half bushels
Of seed per acre. The latter method

they insert their tiny beak, sucking

preciable injury to tree, but when
they appear by the thousands as they

pertinent station and applied with a

their mature scale covering is devel-
oped, their destruction with this in

Effects Of Ovsrbsar rine.

A tree has certain amount OF
energy to be used in the production
Of fruit, and at first devotes It's efforts
to maturing as many pits as possible.
This habit is provision OF nature for
the reproduction of the species. This
great production of pits exhausts a
tree SO that there is little strength left
for the development of the fleshy part
Of the fruit. More than this, there is
only small growth made and the tree
cannot ripen its wood SO as to pass a
severe winter without being injured
Very few, If any, fruit buds will be
formed for the following years crop,
and the tree must spend this season in
recuperating and developing fruit buds
for overbearing again the next season.
If the limbs are not propped up many
will be broken, thus giving the tree
ragged and unsymmetrical shape.-C

Smother Crop for Morning Glory,


We have received from Professor I
L. Lyon Of the University of Nebraska
the following communication: In a
recent number of your paper you
quoted my opinion on the best method
of getting rid of the wild morning
glory. l said in my communication
that we had found the use of a
smother crop to be better than a cul-
tjvated crop in getting rid of this pest
BY this meant crop such as small
grain, that would grow DIP and COM
pletely cover the morning glory vine:
or, to seed down to some thickly
rooted grass, which would crowd IT
out. In the paper you made me saw
that l advocated the use of another
crop, which, of course, is absurd. !"

Soy Bean Seed.


There are several varieties Of xoy
beans, some of which will mature xaed
in Ohio, while others will not. Aaa
rule. the latter class are more valuable
for forage, as they make larger
growth. The beans, however, which
are produced at the rate of ten to
twenty bushels per acre, are a yalu-
able feeding stuff, as they are ouite
high in protein, and to some extent
take the place of such materials as
linseed meal in the ration. The Kan
sas Experiment station has fed them
to fattening hogs with the result Of
effecting large saving in the ouan-
tity of food required to make a pound
of pork, and others report similar re-
suits in feeding them to sheep.-Ohio
