"In his carly career Roosevelt was
hostile to arbitration said Foster

controversy to arbitration, and then
as president he sent the first case to
The Hague tribunal Later he urged
that troops re sent on account Of the
Alaskan boundary dispute"
Foster said that Germany would fin

following rclcrt on cotton raising in
Oklahoma during the past twenty
years experience in farming Mr.
Farmer says that he planted cotton on
the poor farm" near Pauls Valley
as late as the Sth of June and that
the planting made a yield of one half
bale to the acre.
"PIant II" Says 6urgett
e. r. Burgett the farmer-alderman
of Chickasha is of the opinion that
cotton can be planted yet and a good
yield can be gathered this fall. "One
peck of seed will plant an acre Of
ground" says Mr.. Burgett." and at the
small cost Of twenty-five cents an
acre Of ground can be seeded" Mr..
Burgett figures that it is better to
risk the planting than to let the land
lie idle.
