KAFF|R CORN DAY
IN OKLAHOMA

December 26, 1912. will be news
paper kafir corn day for Oklahoma.
The power of the press will be mani

the greatest educational factor in Ok

farmers are all working together for
grass, grain, livestock and cotton.
We are in the cotton belt. We al

must have livestock We have an ex-

stock.
Grasses and grains for their de-
velopment, and finishing can be raised
upon every farm. The dependable
grass is the big creaplng, nardy Ber-
muda. The sure grain crop is kafir
corn
For the handling of our livestock
we have two as thoroughly equipped
packing houses as there are in the
United States with capacity for pre-

thousands of dollars annually into
other states for livestock.

THE SPIRIT Of YULET|DE
GOODFOLLOWS FIND ALL

The Vinita Good Fellows. Who are
they? Many deserving poor in Vinita
viii be made happy tonight by the
generous spirit of this new society
The feeling of good fellowship has
never more deeply taken hold of the
people of our town than at this Yue-
tide. The churches, societies and
lodges have generously provided for
the deserving ones within their re-
spective circles, and the Good Eel
lows for the needs and pleasures Of
those outside of the ties of such Chris
tian and secular organizations. These
Good Fellows have made it possible
that all may rejoice in the feelings of
,"Peace on earth and good will toward
men," in our little city The Good
Fellows have sought out every nook
and corner in our city where misfor-
tune and want has been unwelcome
guests and brought the spirit of good
cheer and joy through generous dona-
tions of provisions, candies, clothing
and toys. Vinita has always been
good to her poor and unfortunate, but
never has her citizens responded SO
generously to the spirit of the times
as they did yesterday in giving to this
worthy cause, and today in distribut-
ling these gifts to the deserving needy
Out of all the business men solicited
for donations and cash, only one bust
nessman was too busy" to smilingly
lassist in the cause of banishing the
gaunt specter Of want from the homes
of our poor and bringing good cheer
/ unto the hearts of such unfortunates.
In as much as ye have done it unto
the least of these ye have done it unto
me-" will be a welcome plaudit to

Bermuda will grow upon all types
of soil. Alkai spots, rocky hillsides,
gullies, old worn-out cotton planta-
tions, sandy soil which blow, overflow
lands not suitable for other crops
1t should be set upon the poorer
portions of the farm reserving the
better for alfalfa, kafir corn and cot
ton. The better the land the better
the grass.
1t is relished by all kinds of stock,
1t is the cheapest and best stock food
in Oklahoma. For further particulars
in regard to varieties, time and man
ner of setting or winter killing, write
II. A. Mitchell, Chandler, Okla, en-
closing stamp for reply He is a
government man whose business it is
to answer every inquiry in regard to
agricultural matters.
Kafir corn is the surest grain for
Oklahoma Yet it requires skill to
produce it. The seedb-ed should be
as good for that as for any other
crops. There isn't any seed requiring
greater care than kalir corn. 1t should
be the black-hulled white variety. 1t
should be carefully selected in the
field, tied together in bundles of about
ten heads, hung in a dry place and
not threshed until the day Of planting.
1t heats readily and if but slightly
heated it is destroyed 1t should be
planted early, soon after corn. Should
be cultivated frequently to maintain
the earth mulch. 1t is no harder upon
the land than any other crop of equal
yield but it is harder on the moisture.
It should not be harvested until
after frost and not threshed until dry.
A ventilation should be placed in the
bin where it is stored.
1t isn't worth quite as much for feed
as corn but the yield is much better.
There is now an established market
for the grain. The best market is to
feed it to livestock. If we raise Ber-
muda grass and kafir corn we can Dor,
row money at per cent to buy stock
to feed
The Outlook.
With alfalfa upon every acre suited
to it in Oklahoma, with kafir corn,
COW peas, peanuts upon the second
best land, carpet the third best and
poorest with Bermuda grass.
Start the women in the chicken bus,
mess. The girl in canning fruits and
vegetables grown upon the farm. For
the boy buy pig and let the pig
Craze upon Bermuda and be fattened
upon kafir corn.
Start a dairy or raise some baby
beef. Sell the mules or the horses
buy some brood mares, pay the mort
cages. Bring more comforts to the
home and prosperity to Oklahoma.

SWEATERS REMAIN
In HIGH FAVOR
Dainty Women Prefer the Creamy
White Ones.

At seashore and mountains the sweater,
light and comfortable, has found an I'M
portant place In the summer girls ward
robe. Scarlet or bright blue garments, in
favorite college colors, are always popu-
lar. Many OF these have the initial OF
the club. fraternity, or school to which
the wearer owes allegiance stitched on
the front These initials or mopograms
are in contrasting shades and are par
ticularly liked by the younger genera
ton.
The dainty woman always prefers the
creamy white ones, but often hcsitates to
buy because OF the seeming difficulty Of
cleaning them. The. following method
simplifies that process, so that no one
need hesitate to buy one on that account
Wooden blankets may be cleaned In the
same manner:
A quarter of a bar of good white
soap is melted over the stove. To this
is added about half cup of ammonia.
Enough hot water is run into the pan or
tub to cover the sweater. The soap and
ammonia are stirred IN. and then the
sweater is placed in. With a stick or the
top of a washboard this is stirred and
turned until the dirt is out. Rinse in
several waters. then lay on a slanting
board to drain. but do not squeeze dry.
There are several methods of drying.
One Is TO fasten sheet fiat over several
clotheslines and spread the sweater on
that in the sun.
Despite the vogue of the blazer, many
devotees Of knitted garments continue to
cling to them because of their warmth
and their adaptability to all climates.
