THOUSANDS OF PINE TREES.
viii be Set Out on Wichita Forest
Reserve by Government.

I.awton, Okla Feb. 22-Five thous-
and pine trees are to be set out at
the opening of spring in the wichita
mountain forest reserve as an expe.
riment The interior department has
already made the order for the trees
and as soon as they arrive they will
be planted, under the supervision of
Z. f. Morrissey, supervisor Of the
reserve. They will be scattered at va
rious points in the reserve and will
be set out upon the slopes and val
leys, where 1t is expected they will
do the best. If the government finds
that they do well at this place a large
number will be ordered for the sue
ceedng years This is only one of the
many valuable improvements the sec
retary of interior has in store for this
reserve in the near future.
August Proplash, an old German
gentleman, was arrested today by Mr..
Morrissey on the charge of making n
homestead settlement upon quarter
section of land in the Wichita forest
reserve in violation of the law. He
had built a fence about the property
and began other improvements to-

LESS WATER DUIY
 FOR SUGAR BfETS
Some Facts Shown by Irrigation Ex.
 periments.

The following article from the Sat Urday Evening Post will be of interest to many rancners of the valley who are planning to plant crop of sugar heets. It is noticeable that of a num- Der of vegetables and cereals named. sugar beets require the least water to produce one pound of dry substance. The Post says:
 What is called the "duty of water in irrigated regions of the west has to do with the amount of yield of a crop which may be expected from an ex- penditure, say, of 1000 gallons. But the Utah experiment station, going a step farther has been trying recently to find out just how much water will produce not only the largest output but the best in point of quality. The investigation was extended to wheat oats, corn, potatoes, and sugar beets.
 "The yield Of wheat per acre was found to increase with the amount of water supply up to thirty inches. If more than that was allowed the crop was less in quantity. Wheat raised

with the least water Give inches) contained most gluten, and as the amount of water was augmented the percentage of gluten dropped in pro- portion. It therefore becomes evident that the most desirable wheat for breadmaking is that which is raised with only little water.
 Water. of course, contains the prin- cipal food elements upon which all plants depend, but it is important that they should not have too much of it. Oats, it was found by the experiment. CTS. steadily increased in yield of grain and straw with the amount of water supplied up to thirty inches; if more is given the crop is less. Twenty inch es of water is enough for corn; beyond that allowance there is no gain in the yield worth mentioning.
 Tt was further ascertained that the amount of water required to produce one pound of dry substance in potatoes was 1,77S pounds; in oats, 1,20S pounds; in wheat, 1,049 pounds; in corn. 1929 pounds, and in sugar beets, 753 pounds. Thus it appears that the potato is an etremely thirsty vegeta ble, whereas corn, being far more mod crate, can only get along with a com paratively small supply of the univer sal necessity, and sugar beets with a great deal less than any of the above.'
