A Good Recipe for whltewssh.

~ OVVO NSVuPC aVI W mseSW00us
The season is always at hand when there
is demand for good whitewash.
The following formula is employed by
the United States Government forts and
light houses, and no doubt outranks any
other formula in existence, says an. ex-
change. It has been published before,
but is well worth repeating:
Take half bushel of unslacked lime,
slack in warm water, cover it during the
process to keep in the steam; strain the
liquid through fine sieve or strainer;
add peck Of salt, previously dissolved in
warm water; three pounds of ground rice
boiled to thin paste and stirred in boiling
hot; half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and . pound of glue which has
been previously dissolved over slow fire,
Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir we'll and let it stand for few
days, covered to keep out the dirt; strain
carefully and apply hot.

TO INVESTIGATE COST OF PRODUCTION.

Beginning next month the Oklahoma State Board
OF Agr ,uiture, through its bureau OF statistics will
commence the collection of statistical data to the
cost of producing Oklahoma farm products In the
future the board will publish some cost data" on
the producing of crops on the county demonstration
farms The detailed reports Of the county demon
strators the eighteen different crops raised the
State on these farms this year being received
by the department and being abulated
The first cost data" to the average Oklahoma
farm will lie taken Cost of Producing Wheat :"
The department viii for tho cooperation Of several
hundred substantial farmers to assist In this work by
re- ordng costs OF producing crops on his farm. To
be successful farmer you should know to certainty
what the cost OF producing your crops is This Is the
era of Development OF science OF business" and the
reason SO many farmers arc not successful today is
because they have learned the scientific and busi
ness methods of farming American agriculture is
becoming commercallzed and the need for Science OF
business In farm management becomes more mpera.
tive the demand for farm production increases and
skilled labor becomes high priced The the
Oklahoma, farmer learns that he should operate his
farm different than his foreathers did, the better off
he Will be, the farmer of generation ago produced
food only for himself family and live stock the women
made the clothes; very little farm produce bought
or sold In the present decade new problems CON
front him
The demonstration farm department Of the board
will gladly furnish to all farmers copies of blanks used
for recording cost OF producing crops the demon
straon farms II they will agree to keep a record of
cost Of producing their farm product. BY doing this
the farmer will be to increase production and
by so doing, not only benefit himself but all classes
OF people
Throughout the winter months the bureau Of sta
tiscs will endeavor to collect statistics bearing on
the cost OF production the various crops raised In
Oklahoma through its crop correspondents and from
other sources and win also conduct special rvestiga.
