Mrs. Biggers reported that one of the

scented the petition 10 the secretary Of

entities could not take the receipt The
secretary of the Oklahoma Federation
of Labor consented to stand as guard
ian for the sex minors and the receipt
was made out in his name.
"The anomaly of these women, many
of them middle aged and gray haired,
requiring young man to act as guard
ian, was a surprise, as well as an OBJ
ject lesson in the injustice perpetrated
on women" declared Mrs. Biggers.

said in part: Il feel diifdent rising
before such a large body of men. but
1 want to say that I am deeply inter-
ested in the schools. The office of
trustee in the school board is a very
important one He does at least $500
worth of work a year and does it all
for the good Of the schools in which
he has an interest and he cannot have
any other proper interest there
When 1 was on the school board
there was precedent seldom If ever

tered once or twice. and that was that

asked me TO make the race will not be
ashamed that they trusted me with the
honor (Applause). If defeated, I will
not be ashamed TO have entered the
campaign at the instance of my friends,
who have been instrumental in my en-
gaging in it.
MY purpose is to refrain from in
dulging in personalities, either publicly
or privately, but there are certain
things however, which should be said.

of mayor Sweeney that the mayor of

tees and that they should be responsible

problem than anything else"
Mr.. Krakauer, however, took excep-
tons to the sections of mayor Sween-
ey's message relative to the statement
that those who had found fault with
the present administration of the
schools were men paid 100 percent bet
ter salaries than the school teachers,
and are Of less refinement and educa-
ton.
Abuse Resented
Il do not see any warrant for an
official to indulge in abuse on account
of his position" Mr. Krakauer stated.

in the advice usually given is de-
pendent on the fact that little grain
OF any sort should be given for a
week or two before the COWS come
fresh.
The trouble Is not in the cotton
seed meal, but In the fact that too
much Is given and the ration conse-
quently is made too high in protein
content. If three pounds of cotton
seed meal be given, 1t will require
from 3 pounds to 6 pounds Of other
grain to balance the ration, and this
Is too much grain to give Just be-
fore the cows come fresh. It Is in
that way, and that way only, that

De allowed to rob the crop Of the
supply of water nor should the cron
be planted SO thickly that the water
supply will be used more rapidly than
the powers of the soil can supply if.
Furthermore, and of the most i'm
portance, the surface of the soil, de-
pending on it's condition, influences
largely the loss of soil moisture and
the supply left for the use of the
plants.
Keep the Soil Surface Loose and Fine
IT loose soil s to - inches deem.
well filled with humus, could always
be maintained, the best condition for
retaining soil moisture or preventing
evaporation of water from the sur
lace would be brought about by Gull
tlvating the surface to depth of, say
three inches. But all soils are not
as described and the roots of the
growing plants are for this and other
reasons closer the surface of the soil
and are considerably injured by Gull
tivating three inches deep. A COM
promise is therefore necessary, and
probably from / u to 2 inches is,
therefore, the best depth to cultivate
Tor conserving moisture. Not only
should this shallow cultivation be
practiced in times of dry weather,
but at all times after the crop is
planted on properly drained lands.
The surface of the soil must be kept
loose, for only in this way can the
heat OF the sun be prevented from
freely evaporating the water from
the surface; but in order to bring
the water up to the roots of the
plants the lower soil must be moder-
ately compact. 1t must also be re-
membered that the more uneven the
top surface the greater amount of
soil or surface exposed to the evap-
Grating influences Of the sun. A
ridge or furrow increases the evap-
Grafton OF water and should be avoid
ed on all dry lands. The turning
plow used for cultivating a crop
brings about the worst possible con.
ditions for saving moisture, because
1t leaves the land uneven and increas-
es the loss Of water, and also Injuries
the roots Of the plants and reduces
the ability OF the crop to get even
such moisture as is left in the soil.

the holding Of moisture nor to the
bringing of it back to the surface soil
from the depths below.
Soil Conditions and the Water
Supply.
Water is held by or stored up in
the soil as influenced by the follow
ing conditions:
l. BY the nature or type of soil
Sandy soils owing to the larger size
OF the soil particles. or grains, allow
water to run through them freely
and retain much less than the clay
soils which are made up of much
smaller particles.
z. BY the amount of humus in the
soil, which absorbs and holds much
more moisture than either sand or
clay. One hundred pounds of sand
may hold % pounds Of water; a hun
dred pounds Of clay, 55 pounds, and
hundred pounds Of humus, lab
pounds.
3. BY the character Of the subsoil.
A subsoil which will retain or absorb
large quantities of water will give
up water to the surface soil more
readily than coarse, loose subsoil
which allows water to pass from it
more freely.
4. BY the condition of the soil. A
fine soil that is still loose because of
a large amount OF humus present,
will hold more moisture than one
that is hard and compact; while a
soil where large clods abound will
hold less water because it can not
readily enter these clods.
How tho Soil Water Escapes.
When water is heated sufficiently
1t passes into the air In the form OF
vapor. From the surface of a sol
heated by the rays OF the sun, water
also escapes in the form Of invis-
IDLE vapor. II is brought up from the
soil beneath by the heat OF the sun,
as the oil is brought up out of the
lamp by the heat OF the lighted end
of the wick. This Is spoken Of as
capillary action. and 1t is In this
way that the plants must be supplied
with needed moisture during seasons
of dry weather: for no soil can hold
sufficient moisture in the top six or
eight inches TO supply the needs of
growing crop during a drouth.
The conditions which we have named
as fayoring the storing OF moisture
in the soil also favor the pumping
OF water out OF the subsoil when the
surface becomes dry. But 1t is not
sufficient that this water be brought
up from the subsoil. 1t must also
be prevented from going on out Of
the soil. or ii will do the plants
little good. because the supply avail
able in the subsoil may soon be-
come exhausted.
The growing crop gives OF much
water from its leaf surfaces, but
this Is necessary and unavoidable.
Weeds and grass, however, must not
