Guthrie, Okla. Jan. 24-"Every far
mer, every oil prospector and almost
every business man will, In my opin-
ion, have to so out of business be-
cause Of the adoption by this conven-
tion Of the fellow-servant law
This was the statement made by
Delegate Kornegay OF Vinita this
morning after the fellow-servants bill
had been adopted almostunanimously
The bin was rushed thru without de-
bate. There appeared to be disposi-
tion on the machine gang to shut Off
any possible discussion Of the matter
The fellow-servants law gives to
employees injured on railroads or in
the mines thru the negligence OF fell
low-employees Of The same company
the right to sue and recover damages
for all injuries. There Is no time limit
in which such suits may be brought.
The position taken by Mr.. Korne-
gay and others Is that the adoption OF
the law will entail upon corporations
severe losses by reason Of the fact that
there is large army Of men who are
in the habit of getting injured simply
to recover damages.
An argument was put forth against
the law this morning on the ground
that the people will indirectly have to
suffer the consequences Of its work.

THE COST OF
FILLING SILOS
By Lyman Carrier, Department
OF AgriCu1ture.

Why can some farmers iii their
silos at cost Of 46 cents a ton,
while II costs others sc cents? Quite
often the higher cost is due 10 un-
avoidable causes. such as long hauls,
lodged and tangled corn and accidents
90 machinery. In many cases, how
ever, poor arrangement of the help
is responsible for the extra expense
The best method is that in which the
working force is most evenly bal
ancod; that is, where all are working
continually 1t is not necessary that
men and teams should be rushed to
their fullest extent in order to get
the work done cheaply. Some of the
most expensive work was conducted
with the greatest furore and hurry.
Tho scheme where all are working
and no one is hindered by the others
Is the most economical. Too many
men in the field for the number at
the cutter, or vice versa, and too large
a crew for the size Of the silage cut.

or three men and teams with loaded

they are waiting TO be loaded, or a de

sents decided loss Of valuable time.
The factors that control the size of
the crew is the capacity of the silage

been only two men instead of four
pitching in the field, three men
instead of four with teams hauling.

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found IN
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people In the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts of opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians,
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen
eTations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given a song or
a Poem TO learn and they will study
and dream over it for hours. but give
the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes i'll and
wants to go home.
Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao
district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago
university woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
1t has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite like that
of the American indian. but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yond that.

think the most important measure Of
all is spraying with poison. We have
demonstrated the past season that

by the right kind of spraying in com
bination with plowing and burning.
However, the kind of spraying that is
necessary to control this pest will

WIDE TIRES.
The Pros and Cons Concerning Their
Utility on Country Roads,

This is question which has re-
ceived great deal Of attention and
about which there has been much dis
cussion. Whether or mot wide tires
are the most satisfactory depends
upon a number OF things. For ex.
ample, on hard roads. wide tires do
not pull any heavier than narrow
tires. but on some country roads. and
especially where the dirt "rolls up"
1t is difficult to use a wide-tired
wagon. Many states have legislated
on this subject. but the question is
still unsettled. Let us look for a mo-
ment at some OF the problems.
One Of the most convincing tests.
which has been referred to often. was
that mado at the Missouri agricul.
tural college several years ago. A
load weighing 1855 pounds was used
in the test The tires of the wheels
we're Y inches and three iches. re-
spectvely. The draft of the narrow
tires was 439 pounds, or 41.6 per cent.
more than the wide tires. Estimat.
ing the wagons to weigh 1000 pounds,
thus on broad tires a 3.24S-pound load
would be drawn as easily as 1000
pounds on narrow tires. The broad
wheels do not injure the turf, Willie
the narrow wheels go through.
Under some circumstances. the mar.
row tires evidently draw easier. This
is true on a dirt road which is muddy.
Then, too. as a rule. bread tires have
been used on low wheels Generally
speaking, low wheels pull heavier
than high wheels. particularly where
he road is rough. In a recent inquiry
sN0' out to users Of low-wheeled, wide
tAst wagons, the consensus of opin-
H.. was that wide tires were much
more satisfactory; first, because 1t
was easier to put on the reads; sec.
ond. because the reads were injured
less by these wide tires. Where mar
row tires tended to cut up the surface
of farm reads. wide tires tended TO
pack the surface and make it hard.
A few years ago some very com
nlete tests were made at South Bend,
Ind. The conclusions were as fol-
lows: On hard roads, block pave
ments and other permanent and sub
staGtial roads. there was no argu-
ment. so far as actual draft is con-
cerned. the effect being rather against
the wide tire and in favor of the mar
row tire In the effect on hard roads,
wide tires have the advantage, and
this benefit should be appreciated b.
turnpike and macadam companies.
In soft mud slush and other similar
circum stances the advantage is
against the wide tire and in favor of
the narrow On the other hand on
sod and soft ground. where the wide
tire does not cut in and the narrow
one does. the advantage is on the
side of the wide tire.
A test was made at the Ohio state
university and the results were SINH
lar TO those in Missouri. Two horses
could easily draw heavy load on a
grass sod where the tires used were
used
Ii will thus be seen, says Orange
Judd Farmer, that the matter of wide
tires is very important from the
standpoint Of the man who is inter
ested in better highways. There are.
however two sides to the question.
and every state must fully discuss and
investigate before attempting rules
and regulations.

CARE OF seLO CORN.
The Drying Out Proce~s Must Be
Managed Carefully.

Seed corn as brought in from the
field has a high content of moisture
If. in the attempt to dry it out quick
ly artificial heat ls used, with little or
no attention given to ventilation, the
chances are that the germ will starr
to grow. Artificial heat is dangerous
at this stage. The important things
are ventilation, dry atmosphere and
a moderate temperature. Corn sus

iated shed. granary or dwelling house

found long bushel boxes about one
