Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 24-Judge VIM.
II. Fl. Clayton yesterday finished the
proof reading of the copy of the con-
stitution to be given President Roose-

the necessary certificates.
Judge Clayton and the Governor and
Mrs. Frantz left this morning for
Washington with the copy of the con-
stitution and the ordinances passed by
the constitutional convention and the
election returns in their possession.

President Roosevelt Saturday, and it
is expected that Oklahoma will be ad
mitted to the union liz less than tifteeI
days.
Governor Frantz will make an effort
to knock down the big patronage plums
while at Washington, expecting In
this way to hold the control he gained
over the Republican party at Tulsa,
Notwithstanding his defeat in the cleo
tion. Before leaving for Washington
he said he had endorsed no one for
federal Judge, but in semi-onicial
way it was given out that he would
personally ask Roosevelt to name At
torney General Cromwell and that he
was confident Of landing his man.
Cromwell has the backing Of the mem
bers of the Interstate commission.

Plans for Cotton School Complete.

No movement has been started along
educational lines in Georgia during
the past decade that has attracted
more attention than the proposed cot
ton school that is to be held in Athens
for ten days, beginning January .,
1908, and under the auspices of the
State College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts at Athens.
The object of this school is to help
all the farmers get much useful in
formation at minimum cost.
There will be no entrance examina-
tons, and any person over sixteen
wears of age can enter the school. The
registration fee will be $1.O0 and the
incidental expenses necessitated by the
school work need not be more than
s1.O0. The cost of taking the work
will therefore be confined to railroad
fare and board and lodging, which
means that the school is virtually free
to every student of Georgia.
The course Of instruction provided in
the cotton school is as follows
Ten lectures on the soil.
Ten lectures on fertilizers.
Five lectures on the cotton plant
Five lectures on seed selection.
Five lectures on cotton insects.
Five lectures on feeding cotton by
products.
Five lectures on cotton machinery
Ten demonstrations on cotton grad
ing.
The cotton grading feature OF the
school will be emphasized above every
other. Two hours or more each after
noon will be devoted to the work.
Moreover, every farmer who becomes
thoroughly acquainted with the grading
of cotton puts himself in a strong, de-
fensive position, position which will
not only enable him to improve the
grade of cotton raised on his farm be.

but to obtain fair price for his CROP

WASHES AND GULLIEs.

Along the hillsides and ravines in
the orchard washes may occur from
the rains in summer and autumn. In
some cases the roots of the trees may
have been laid bare and thus exposed
to winter injury. Such washes should
be filled to prevent further damage,
and any exposed roots should be well
covered to protect them from winter
injury. II the ground has not been
given level culture depressions may
occur under some of the trees so
that the water from rains and melt
ing SHOWS may stand under the trees
and injure their roots. Such con-
dition as this is a serious menace to
the health of the tree and care should
be taken that standing water under
all trees should be drained Off.

EXPECTS OF LIME ON PLANTS.

Maryland station experiments by
Prof. Patterson show that some
plants are injured by lining the soil
in which they grow. Among these
plapts ere watermelon, serradella,
blue lupine and sheep sorrel.
Other plants were found indif-
ferent to lime Among these are
corn, millet, Hungarian millet, golden
rye, potatoes, carrots, redtop grass
and Rhode Island bent grass.
The majority of plants were bene-
flied by lining. Among these are
spinach, lettuce, b9ets, okra, satisfy,
celery, onions, parsnips, cauliflower,
cabbage, cucumbers, elephants. can
taloupes, asparagus, kohlrabi, dande-
lion, Swedish turnip, pepper, pea,

No License in Locker La.

In a letter written to Tax Collector
T. F. Thompson Of Chatham county,
Comptroller General Wright declares
that the $500 tax imposed upon clubs
having lockers in no sense of the word
is to be construed as a license to sell
liquor, but simply as an occupation
tax.
He writes: "You will therefore re
ceipt for this tax as an occupation
tax, and designate the same in your
returns. This in nowise has even the
semblance of a license by the state for
the conduct of the business

Peonaae Case Falls Through.

The federal grand jury adjourned
at Athens without taking up the charge
of peonage against James NJ Smith,
the big Oglethorpe county farmer. The
government did not submit the case
to the grand jury.
Colonel Smith was bound over few
weeks since on this charge, and it is
believed that the failure of the gov
eminent to put the case to the grand
jury for investigation means an aban'
donment of the prosecution.

PRoMP1NEss AND PROSPERITY.

PROMPINESS AND PROSPERITY.
Very few farmers know what any
particular crop costs them, or even
keep an account Of receipts and ex-
penditures. There is probably no
other branch Of business conducted
in such a slipshod manner. The
grange should be-and is to large
extent-a school in which to learn
better methods of conducting the
business of the farm and home. No
member of grange should accept
an Office therein unless he intends
to attend the meetings regularly and
to fill the position to the best Of his
ability. Promptness is an essential
to success in grange work, as we'll as
everything else, and the meetings
should be opened at the appointed
hour. All business matters which the
members intend to introduce should
be thought out in advance and re-
duced to writing in order to dispatch
business quickly and efficiently. A
grange will not prosper that calls to
order an hour behind time and then
dawdles along waiting for something

CLOTH WINDOWS IN BARNS.
The muslin curtain idea, as used
quite commonly in hen houses the
past few years, is being adopted for
some dairy farms. 1t is claimed that
even in the coolest weather the tenn
perature in the stable is not much
lower because of curtain windows,
but the air is drier on account of the
ventilation through the muslin, thus
removing the feeling of dampness
which is often noticed in close barns
and stables Excellent results are

COMPARISON OF HOG FOODS.

SOMF ARlOON Or HUG FOODS.
At the New Hampshire station ex-
periments were carried on to deter
mine the feeding value of separator
skinned milk when fed with corn
meal and middlings as against the
cornmeal and middlings without the
skinned milk The conclusions, as
taken from the experiment, show
that the pigs receiving cornmeal and
separator skinned milk were the
most hearty feeders and made the
best gains. The cost per pound of
gain was over two cents cheaper
where skim milk was fed with corn
meal and middliugs. During the en-
tire experiment the barrows made the
best gains. The cost per pound of
gain increased with the age of the
pigs.

CURING GREEN CORN FODDER

CURING GREEN CORN FODDER.
Large bundles tightly bound and
large stocks, with centre pole in the
middle to keep them from falling
down, band around the centre of
the stock and another around the
tassels at the top is the secret of cur
ing corn fodder or stover so that it
will be as sweet and nearly as green
as when cut, all but the outside of
the stock. When put up in this way
it may remain until the snow flies,
or afterward, and if cut into pieces
an inch long or less. the cattle will
eat nearly all of it in preference to
good hay, and will give more milk
and perhaps richer milk than they
would upon any hay excepting early
cut clover or alfalfa.-American Gull

AarleuIturaI ExpOsiti0n Planned.


If the plan of number of prominent
agriculturalists is carried out by the
Georgia State Agricultural Society, the
agricultural premiums for the annual
Georgia state fair, which will probably
be again held in Atlanta next year,
will be divided among the three sec
tons of the state, north, south and
middle Georgia.
There is the keenest rivalry between
these three sections and plan would
decide the competition. 1t would also
do away with the contest among the
different counties and the awarding OF
nine premiums among as many coun-
ties.
If the fair is held in Atlanta next
year, as in all probability it will be,
avarv effoRt will be made to make
sti11 greater success as an agricultural
exposition. The fair this season was
the biggest agricultural display ever
given in the states history.
