consisted Of an acid phosphate and
on another tract a new departure was
made by using al mixture composed
OF two-thirds acid phosphate and one
third cotton seed meal. The depart
ment OF agriculture has made some OK
perimeuts with the latter but this will
be the first experiment with it on a
large scale in Oklahoma. 1t is be-
lieved that it will make the plant fruit
and open earlier and make less weed
and more in the boil.
No less care and labor has been
used in the preparation for and plant
ing OF several tracts in corn, which
is now up and doing nicely. The first
cotton planted is also up and looking

very best seed obtainable was used.

costing $1S5 per hundred, was used
and the seed corn cost 50 a bushel
Mr.. Ferguson says he expects to sit
up with this farm. spending probably
half OF his time here in looking after
It. Il consider this one of the most inn
portant experiments in agriculture Of
any we have made. said he If we
succeed, it will be worth more to the
farmers OF Grady county and the en-
tire state than anything that has been
attempted in demonstration farming.
I believe our test OF the fertilizer is
going to produce the desired results
and if this farm doesn't break the rec
ord, miss my guess"
Mr.. Price is equally as enthusiastic
as MIR. Ferguson. He invites every
body to visit the farm and keep in
touch with the progress Of the crops.

TUTTLE CASE
DECIDED
Lot Claimants Get An
other Chance in
Court

Guthrie, May 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday re-opened the famous
Tuttle townsite case, affirming it in
part and reversing it in part, but Civ
ing the lot holders another day in
court, which was really what they
were eontending for primarily. The
matter was allowed to go to a judg-
ment by default against them in the
district court, and it was feared that
this might shut them out from any
further chance to get into court and
present their case, but the supreme
court holds an opinion BY Justice Will
liams that in a petition in error to
reverse a Judgment of default, such
defects as might have been taken adj
vantage OF before Judgment by gen.
eral demurrer may be brought under
review, which preserves all Of the
rights of the parties to the case.
The case arises from the purchase
by +. Dowden from the Chickasaw
allottees Of the two tracts OF land com
posing the Tuttle townsite. He plat
ted it into lots and blocks and sold
a number of lots, contracting to give
deeds for them when he received his
deeds from the chiefs OF the Choctaw
and Chickasaw tribes. Later on the
government decided to segregate the
Tuttle townsite and scheduled lots to
the parties who were occupying them
Dowden claimed that this was Illegally
done. and brought suit. which was de-
cided In his favor below

Solomonville cattle pens. The steers were brought in from the surrounding ranges in the Gila mountains and Bonita creek dur ing the week, and were corraled at Ihe Chiricauhua cattle ranch. The cattle were shipped by the follow ing owners: James Talley, John and Turner West, Dick Bryce, w.. T. Webb, Marshall & Eeater, Mo- Euen Brothers, J65hn J65fl Rsaaftvi' and J. c. Robinson.
 Douglas International: s a m Hayhurst, the cattle inspector, is one of the busiest men in this sec. ton at the present time, as his duty requires that he keep a record of everything in the way of live stock shipped from the district. He was at Hereford yesterday. When asked this morning if the shipment of cows was an indication that the cattlemen regarded the range con- ditions as dangerous for the im- mediate future, MT. Hayhurst stated that he did not think so, but that the high prices offered for the cows was the principal reason for their shipment. These cows are taken to the feeding pastures of Kansas and Colorado, and there they are fed until they are fit for the beef markets of Kansas City and other Eastern cities where the big packing houses are located.

HIDES, HORNS AND WOOL.
Readable Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona Territory.

Tucson Citizen: "We are sui fering here as elsewhere in the ter. ritory for rain; the ranges being almost devoid of grass, with the result that cattle are dying for want of feed" writes Thomas B. Chatham, who is now at Dos Cabezas inspecting mining claims.
 Mesa Free Press: V. E. Allison, one of the prominent ranchers of the Mesa section yesterday sold twenty head of fat young beef cattle to the Pioneer Meat Market for the local trade. MT. Allison states that they were the best in the valley and ought to make delicious cuts.
 Tucson Citizen: J. F. Nidiffer, who has been in Tucson for a month or more negotiating pur- chases of cattle for Miller and Lux, who buy annually between thirty and forty thousand head of cattle in this territory, has stated his in- tention of buying 12,000 head from this district if possible.
 Tucson Citizen: J. Jepeda, who lives in the city, but who also owns many cattle in Mexico is of the opinion that the cattle shipments through Tucson this spring and summer will be the heaviest in many years. He is understood to be preparing 10 bring large nun. bers through the city on their way to the coast.
 Douglas International: w. A. Fiege, the cattle buyer, arrived yesterday morning for the purpose of receiving another shipment of cattle from the Hood ranch, up the valley. Mir. Fiege has pur- chased many cattle in this county for spring shipment. J. T. Hood, of Bisbee, now devoting his atten. tion to his cattle business, is in the city, also. He says that the calf crop this season will be unusually good.
 Mohave Miner: Sheep shearing is almost completed at this point and soon the big focks will be sent out on the ranges where the weeds are springing up as if by magic, It is reported that hereafter there will be no drive of sheep from the mountain sections into this county but that some provision will be made to feed them at home. The loss this year was great in making the drive from the home ranch into this county, but that was on ac. count of lack of feed caused by the excessively cold winter.
 Graham Guardians: One of tho largest cattle shipments ever mad, from the valley by local cattl, men, took place Sunday night when thirty cars were loaded With about 1000 head from tn,
