DROUTH is FAIRLY BROKEN

Lawton, o. T., May Awhile this has
been cloudy. muddy, rainy week, it has
in one sense been the brightest of the
year to the people Of Lawton and Com
anche county. For months past the most
threatening skies would produce nothing
more than a local shower. The effect
wac beginning to tell. In all new coun-
tries there are some who are not pre-
pared to endure drouths and other re-
verses which are sure to come TO any
people. Wheat has been greatly injured
and many acres Will be plowed up and
planted TO cotton, which bids fair this
year to be the money-making crop of the
southwest.
With rains and bright crop prospects.
Lawton has another harvest almost ready
to reap The secretary of the interior
has approved the waterworks contract,
and within thirty days the firm will be-
gin to throw dirt. The contractor has
signified his intention TO employ home la
Dor. Contract for the sewer system will
be let by the department in a short time
Lawton is not dead.

COTTON i'm kINGFiSHER.
Wheat Won't Do Much but Cotton
Prospects Are Excellent,

Guthrie. o. t, May &C. f. Mckinley
of KingfiSher was in thee ity Yesterday
on business. Mr. Mckinley is assistant
postmaster in Kingfsher and one of the
enthusiastic town builders Of that good
city. He said that Kingffsher is making
improvements and growing all of the
time and that the farmers of the county
are in good spirits and confident of the
result OF their seasons work
There is undoubtedly great deal of
wheat that will not yield an average
crop said Mr. Mckinley. land there is
some IN Kingfisher county that will not
be worth harvesting. This is being plow-
ed under and the fields Will be planted in
cotton. But in spite OF the damage that
has been done to the wheat fields by
winds and dry weather the KIngfsher
county wheat crop will be pretty good
Deep interest is being taken in cotton
by the farmers Of our county and the
outlook is that the acreage OF cotton
there this year viii be ten 10 where there
was one last year. In past years the
growing Of cotton has become more or
less unpopular in Kingfisher county. But
the high price Of last year together with
the fact that the wheat fields that are
Abandoned now are in season for plant
ing TO cotton has stimulated the latter
crop The commercial club OF Kinghsher
is alive 10 the possibilities Of the situa-
tion and they have encouraged the Plant
ing Of cotton by supplying seed to the
farmers al cost and arranging fer the
erection Of Sin at Kingfsher that viii

TO STAMP OUT WEEVIL.
Plan in Vogue in Louisiana Said to Be
Successful.

Guthrie. o. T.. May 4.-The following in
terview has been given out by Prof. j. I.
Connell, secretary of the Texas Cotton
convention While on a recent visit to
north Louisiana he consulted DR. II. a.
Morgan the entomologist OF that state,
in charge of the work now being done
by the Louisiana Crop Pest commission.
and secured interesting facts regarding
the war against the weevil that is now
being waged in the sister states. y few
days later he visited the South Texas
weevil infected region. in which Colonel
B. w Marston. member of the Louisi-
ana Crop Pest commission, is conducting
experiments in poisoning the weevfl on
volunteer (stubble) cotton. and watched
with absorbing interest the very clear re-
suit he was securing in this important
field.
Louisiana has succeeded in stamping
out the weevil in two of her infested par
ishes The ingenious methods employed
by DR.. Morgan are applicable to a num-
Der Of north and east Texas counties and
probably TO portions of west Texas terri
tory. which are now being infested with
the weevil. Before midsummer 1903. no
effort had been made to stamp out the
weevil on any one infested farm north of
the Rio Grande. The Louisiana authOri-
ties undertook a new work and pursued I
so vigorously that success was achieved.
When an infested farm is donated great
care was exercised to define definitely the
infested area upon that farm and steps
were taken To destroy all Of the cotton on
that area except a few stalks which were
permitted TO remain standing TO act as
sentinels in manner hereinafter ex-
planned The stalks on the infested area
were pulled and burned green with the
assistance Of crude petroleum. The sur
face of the ground was sprayed with |
crude oil. The land was plowed and har
rowed thoroughly. After this severe /
trea tnnent many Of the weevil escaped 1
and we're found upon the sentinel stalks 4
that were left standing in the field. to /
which they resorted that they might OBJ
tain food and lay eggs In the squares /
forming on the cotton. The weevil were
picked of daily from those stalks. indi-
eating the thorough destruction Of the
pest upon that area. Care was taken TO
destroy all of the new forms set upon
his cotton every third day. to make
sure that na weevii were bred upon the
sentinel stalks left standing in addition
10 this stamping out process the Louisi-
ana authorities. no doubt. by exercising
some care IN the matter OF distributing
cotton seed from infested gins. permit
ing no seed to 20 into the non-infested
area from gins handling seed grown upon
infested farms.

ASHTON HAS RETURNED.
Improvement in Wheat Crop Tas Been

Guthrie. O. T., May Goal Oil In
spector F. a. Ashton has returned to
this city from a trip over a large part Of
the territory and he says the improve
ment in the wheat crop since the rain of
one week ago is simply astounding. In
Garfield county. where the crop was
considered very poor. the farmers now ex-
pect three-fourths of crop. All ovver

HARBINGER OF JUSTICE

Guthrie, o. T.. May 4.-If the pope of
Rome intended his recent letter to the
colored citizens Of Kansas to interest the
whole colored race of this country, he
certainly has accomplished his purpose.
The educated negroes at the Langston
school in this territory may take the
lead in expressing the feelings Of the
negro race toward his holiness. but they
are 10 less interested than the negroes
of this city who earn their bread by
hard work. The day that the Eagle came
to Guthrie containing the letter of Pope
Plus the colored people collected in
groups on the street while one would
read the pope's words.
Z. P. McCabe is considered one of the
brightest colored men in Oklahoma. He
is not a member of any church and
knowing that he had cut the popes let
ter out of the Eagle to paste in his scrap
book, the Eagle correspondent asked him
this morning: What do the colored
people think of the popes letter." he
said:
What sensible negro can fail to grasp
being other thar the harbinger long
looked for from the Christian world 1t
seems to have been left to the Church of
Christ TO be bold enough TO utter these
memorable words: AS the vicar of
Christ. I extend ny loving care to every
race without exception These words
come to the colored race with such force
as TO startle. AS for myself. l had long
