Col. II, r. Groom, OF Groom, Texas,
left al the Panhandle office, an ear
OF corn, so fully developed and
rounded out that IL will be a joyful
sight to the eyes OF Panhandle farm
ers, and will add greatly to the ag-
gregate output per acre II II can be
successfully grown In this section.
The Importance OF improved seeds
should demand the attention of all
thoughtful farmers, II is the great
yields secured by using improved
seed corn, that enables the farmers
OF Illinois on farms worth $3.50 per
acre to secure profitable crops.
A sample ear left ut this office
by Col n. Il, Groom, OF Groom,
Texas, shows the point OF the car
completely filled with well formed
grains. This filling out OF each ear
OF corn in a field, adds very mate
rally to the yleld--so muen indeed
that no practical farmer can afford
to plant variety that leaves part OF
the cob without grain.
This ear came from 4 field owned
by Mr.. Duncan OF Cercola, ILL.,, and
was estimated to yield over 100
bushels per acre. The exposure o.
seeds to freezing has been found one
OF the chief causes OF poor stands,
as freezing kills the grain. Each
imperfect grain planted. reduces the
yield fully 1-i2O OF bushel, based
on the old theory OF 12O ears to the
bushel. We would not recommend
planting the whole crop OF northern
grown seed but think II advisable Il
the Panhandle farmers would expert
ment With some OF the improved
corn that leaves no cob without
grain In the endeavor to acclimate an
improved variety for the Panhandle,

that the railroads arc, in the aggrc-

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 2.--oklaho-

OF 100 representatives and A sona-

with nearly all the members pres
ent In It's political complexion the
new body is largely Democratic, the
lover house being composed OF 90
Democrats and II Republicans. and
the senate having 80 Democrats and
only Republicans.
William Murray, Familiarity known
as alfalfa Bill" Murray former
president OF the constitutional con-
ventlon, Is the leading candidate for
the speakership OF the house Of rep
rcsentatlyeh. Ho has announced that
he Is against all rings and cllques
and that II he Is selected to preside
the corporation Hobbies will have a
hard time controlling him.
One OF the first acts Of the legis-
lature is expected 10 be the ratiflca-
ton OF tho selection OF Robert l..
owens and Thomas p. Gore, the blind
orator, as United States senators.
while they have already been elected
by the people and appointed by Gov
ernor Haskell. II Is tho opinion Of
legal authorities that they cannot
take their seats In the national SEN
ate until the legislature has given
them their credentials. The consti-
tuition provides that each state shall
be entitled TO two senator's, who
shall be- elected by the legislature
thereof. and repeatedly the national
senate has refused TO admit men who
have been appointed by governors
whose state legislature had failed to
elect senators. 1t Is said that The
case Of Oklahoma IS the first instance
where governor OF a state newly
admitted has sought TO appoint sem
ators before the meeting OF tho leg
islature.
Senator owen is Bryan Demo-
crat, as IL his blind colleague, Sena-
tor Gore, but the latter is by far the
most radical In his political opinions.
owen will ally himself with the tar
III revlsionists in the senate. Ply
sically he win have few superiors
In congress, and he ls also a scholar
and brilliant debater. He has In
dian blood in his veins, like Senator
Curtis OF Kansas, and, like the lat
ter, is proud Of II.
Senator Gore Is radical of radi-
calls and often referred to as a
popnlist and sometimes as a Social
list. lie Is the first blind man to be
sent to the United states senate and
this alone will attract attention, but
hardly more so. perhaps, than his
ability as an orator.

ADVANTAGES OF PANHANDLE

Hog Raising.

Amarillo, Texas, Dec. 2,-Hogs
can be credited with being the
means of lifting more mortgages
IN tho northeastern states than any
other class OF animals raised, or any
class OF product by the farmers or
agriculturists, and yet hogs raised in
Texas fall very short of filling the
demand for local consumption. In
fact II Is stated on good authority,
that there are sixteen cars Of pork
product shipped into Texas for every
car OF the Texas product marketed.
The Texas farmer has many adj
yantages over his northern brother
In raising hogs. the three principal
ones being, (firsD cheap land on
which tc raise corn, tsecond) eli
matte conditions, and (tbird) that
very little Il any shelter need be pro-
yided for them, In looking over
the sfate Oh Texas for one intending
to engage In hog ruising' there is no
section which presents the advant-
ages for his industry better than the
