essential to have seed of strong germi-

the general crop of corn is beginning
to silk and tassel at this time which is
a very critical stage in its growth. The
hot winds prevailing have a tendency

Cotton anthracnose, pink boil, or
boil rot, is becoming prevalent in this
state, and deserves the serious con
sideration of every cotton grower. In
some portions of the south the loss
on a single farm has been eighty to
ninety per cent. In one report from q
correspondent in this state he reports
as much as twenty per cent of the
bells as being affected. This is fun

String beans should be drilled In

Keep up the warfare on weeds in
the cornfields these hot days, when
soil moisture needs to be conserved

A profitable crop cannot be grown
on land deficient in humus, which is
the same thing as rotted sod or rotted

The loss incurred from plant dis

farmer, passes unrecognized or is re-
garded as natural and inevitable.
There is no professional study that
requires closer work than does the

NEW RIBBONS FOR MILLINERY
They Are Very Wide and Soft, De-
signed for the Making Of Hat
Bows.

The new millinery ribbons are enor-
mousiy wide and soft, for bows made
OF taffeta are really smarter than rib
bon. and the ribbon makers have had
to get out special widths TO please
the women who prefer to make big hat
bows OF conveniently finished ribbon
rather than hem and wire silk bows.
The graceful bows are arranged at
front. back or side OF the hat, accord
ing to the requirement of It's shape
or Its wearer's fancy. The big bow
across the back is undeniably youth
full and girllsh In suggestion, though
the bow In front is more becoming to
certain types OF face. Trimming at
the side should only be worn by wom-
en- who can stand dashing and jaunty
effects.
Taffeta is the millinery silk par ex-
cellence Just now. and the new colors
are delectable-soft gray reds called

ever, the conservation Of moisture is
one of the most important, If not the
most important. objects the western
farmer must keep in mind and con-
duct all his operations with that end
in view
He must keep this in mind when fall

best method. Some say they harrow
down; others say leave It rough to
hold the snow. have observed and
tried both methods, writes Charles
w. n, Tinott in Campbell's Farmer,
but ! always harrow well the ground
as plowed each day, and will try to
explain why this should give best
results. Almost every season some
rain falls during harvest or later in
the season. so that, as a rule, the
stubble ground turns quite moist;
and believing the old proverb, "A
bird in hand is worth two in the
bush" | think this should be har-
rowed at once, for # is surprising
how rapidly newly plowod land Will
dry out even in the fall
Then regarding the holding OF
snow, we are told that It takes seven
inches Of snow to make one inch OF
water. so 1t can be seen that even
very roughly plowed land would not
gain a very great amount of water,
and all snow falling in a melting con
dition will soak in whether smooth or
rough. Then generally the snow.
when It does begin to melt in the
spring goes quickly and the ground
still being frozen the water must
either run off or wait TO be evap-
Grated.
must admit that my experience
and observation has left me little
faith in snow as a source of mois-
ture. Then, again, in our district we
are troubled with early frosts in the
fall, so that having stubble land har.
rowed down all ready for the seeder
is a most decided advantage in help
ing us TO get our wheat early, thus
bettering our chances of having our
wheat grade No. hard. Oats and
barley may be sown later and still
escape the frost

In growing Indian corn on the A.
& NJ. College farm at Saltwater, Payne
county, the weather conditions are
more seriously considered with this
crop than with any other grown. 1t
has been proven in tests on the Col
lege farm and elsewhere that 1t is not
necessary to wait until the ground is
thoroughly warm to plant corn. Corn
planted March 14th on the College
farm this year is still green, many ears
are filling out, and yield of 80 to 60
bushels per acre is promised this date
august 5th) according to variations
of soil-the dark sitter soil yielding
the most. A lack of underground mois-
ture resulting from three consecutive
dry years caused the root system to
form very near the surface this season.
By April 25th 1t was impossible to use
regular cultivator plows without seri-
Gus injury to the roots of the plant.
A harrow made with two boards OF
2x12 lumber four feet long with sixteen
to twenty large bridge nails driven as
desired has proven very useful i'm
plement, where intensive farming
methods are used. Such harrow can
be constructed at a cost of forty-five
cents each Fields are covered as
quickly as possible after each shower
OF rain.
Corn being a cool weather plant is
capable of enduring few light frosts
in the first days of its growth. De
laying in planting until warm weather
cause the growth of much vegetation
and incurs the risk of corn blooming
and setting at the time the hot winds
occur Statistics published by the U.
s. Department of Agriculture give the
mean date for planting the corn crop
of Oklahoma as beginning May "a,
general planting by April Z, and ending
April 80. Corn planted from March
! to March IS for the past three years
on the College farm has given larger
yields and withstood the summer heat
better than corn planted at later dates.
To get the best results when early
planting is practlced, certain methods
must be more closely observed than
with the late planting. Amy strong
