Grove, Okla, Dec. 16.-The situation
at Jay is unchanged. The opposing
forces fought a bloodless battle about
ten o'clock Sunday night over one
hundred shots were fired at long range
no one being hit on either side. Each
side claim that the other fired first.
General Canton was in old Jay at the
time but took no part in the fray lie
returned to Oklahoma City today to
report to Governor Cruce but he did
not indicate to any ore here what his
report would be.
Certain movements o nthe part of
the sheriff and his forces indicate that
they have given up the fight, but the
force at old Jay is still on guard and
have been busy today digging en-
trenchments around the court house.
Sheriff Thomason was in Grove seY-
eral hours today, but returned to New
Jay this afternoon.

may arise to disgust the fruit-grower
with the task of spraying,
The first thing to be considered is
the kind Of power to use. This is gov
erned by several factors. The area OF
the orchard. the lay. of the land, the
size of the trees, and sometimes, the
means of the owner.
For orchards of ten acres or over.
it Is rarely good policy to try to use
hand power. The only case where
this is at all advisable is where the
trees are still too small or the land is
absolutely too rough to permit haul

There are few orchards where it is not
possible to make roadway through
at intervals of hundred feet at the
most. Where this is possible power
machines may be used
Power sprayers are usually, operated
by means of power furnished by gaso-
line engines, or by fractions" in
which the pumps are geared to the
trucks and driven only when the out
fit is in motion. These latter are pro-
vided with large compression cham
bers which hold in reserve sufficient
pressure to spray trees of ordinary
size after the pumps have stopped.
When the trees are small this pressure

TIPS ON COOKING CEREALS
Soma oid-Fashloned, Wholesome and
Nutritious Foods That Deserve
Revival.

Old-fashioned oatmeal requires a
much longer time to cook, as every
one knows, than the kind usually
found for sale nowadays Yet many
housekeepers prefer it, and when they
can get 1t gladly take the extra trou-
bic required to prepare it. To cook
It use scant quart of water to every
heaping cupful of the cereal. Salt 1t
and boil 1t two hours the day before
serving. Then turn 1t into a double
boiler and let 1t cook slowly all night.
Ia the morning bring it forward and
let 1t boil up well for minute or two.
Serve Immediately while hot. Some
paiates prefer thicker Cruel, in
which case only three cupfuls OF water
to cupful of the meal.
Samp Is delicious old cereal that
should be seen more often on the Ia
bles OF today. Like old-fashioned oat-
meal 1t requires long cooking. 1t is
very nice for Sunday suppers or as
starchy vegetable in place of rice or
potatoes for dinner. Soak in water
two cupfuls Of samp all night. In the
morning wash thoroughly. Cover with
boiling water and cook steadily all
day. adding more water as 1t boils
down. An hour before serving stir in

cupful Of milk Season thoroughly
with salt. Boil up well and serve
hot.

will handle orchards of from five to
fifteen acres in good shape. With
these are usually used single cylinder,

but capable of pumping from five to
eight gallons of liquid per minute

pressure. These small outfits are
mounted on solid bases and are porta-

and supplied from one or more bar
rels or from a special tank. Agitation
is secured by the use of an extra lead

rel or tank and does very satisfactory
work. The entire outfit, including
hose, MOBILES. rods, and all accesso-

used to carry it. Such an outfit can
be taken practically anywhere bar

convenient length OF rod is ten or
twelve feet.
There is an almost infinite variety
OF MOBILES to choose from. Without
discussing the merits OF. these we may
say that there is no doubt that the
Friend Angle" type Is the Figure q
most generally Satisfactory on the mar
ket to-day. For the smaller outfits
only one OF these should be used on
each rod, but with large machines
they may be doubled. The angle"
enables the rodman to spray much
more of tree from one position than
was possible with the old straight tyne
and better work can be done as the
spray can be thrown from above. be-
low, and from the sides. Several mod
:dcations OF the Friend Company's
original angle nozzle are now on the
market and they will for the most part
be found to be very satisfactory.
Much discussion has been INDUCED
in as to the proper kind of spray to
use for different purposes and the
pressure at which it should be ap-
piled. Good authorities favor a mod
erately fine mist, and pressure rath-
er less than $50 pounds than over It,
The small type of gasoline sprayer
described will supply two leads of
hose with two MOBILES on each lead
and a third one for the agitator, and
will easily maintain pressure of $50
pounds.
