Kafir Corn Made
One County Rich

That every farmer in Grady county
should plant from 10 to 20 acres Of
kaflr corn Is the opinion of Ben r,
Johnson, who is about as well ac-
qualuted with the needs and condi-
tons in this country as anybody you
will find. 1T Is the best insurance
against drouth that ! know Of re-
marked Mr.. Johnson. 1T is true that
the soil is in fine condition and we
have excellent prospects for corn and
every other crop, but we can't pos
sibly lose anything by taking every
precautlon against a shortage Of feed
next season and therefore | think il
wise for every farmer to put in few
acres Of kafir which is practically q
sure crop"
Mr. Johnson accumulated quite a
lot Of kafir corn enthusiasm at the
recent bankers convention in Clinton,
Okla, where a Kansas banker from a
town OF 1900 people told what the
crop had done for farmers Of his coun-

ty 1T took our farmers 20 years to-
learn corn couldn't be relied upon
and that kafir was a profitable sub
sttute for IT, said the Kansas man
Now they are all in good shape, don't
know when a drouth happens and the
banks in our little town have deposits
aggrefating $l,6OO,OOO. Our farmers
have learned that their stock will do
as well on kafir as they do on corn if
ten per cent is added to the amount
fed. IN our county we had 10000 ac.
res in kafir last season A regular
market on the board Of trade has
been established for it and it sells
for only ten per cent less than corn.
II averages about 30 bushels per acre
and the crop never fails"
Mr.. Johnson thinks it is particu'
larly necessary for farmers who have
upland to plant a few acres Of kafir.
Usually the crop is planted about the
middle Of May but it may be planted
much later

THE MAGIC RAYS OF RADlUM.

The new phenomenon of science,
Radium, derives it's name from the
fact that this marvellous mineral
ceaselessly gives off three different
and distinct kinds of rays. One of
these rays travels with almost the
velocity of light itself, and has most
remarkable penetrative power, easily
affecting and shadoweraphing upon a
Photographic plate through iron and
steel or two feet of wood. While long
exposure to these rays is considered
dangerous, one or more of them pos
sess properties that may eventually
revolutionize the treatment of some
diseases of humanity as completely as
have the remarkable Qualitieso + Rad
ium upset long established laws of
physics. Radium is several degrees
warmer than the surrounding atmos-
phere, and even when immersed in
liquid air, 312 degrees below zero,
will constantly give off heat and light.
That it can continuously exert the
wonderful energy it does, with no
apparent dimunition of weight Or of
strength, is the marvel of scientists,
who are led to predict that it will
take thousands-some have said mil
nons-of years to exhaust Radium's
phenomenal activies. Radium costs
ut the rate of considerably over So
COZ. 200 per pound, but Prof. Patty
brings several tiny tubes of the sub
stance. and apparatus with which to
demonstrate it's wonders. They can
be seen next Wednesday night, at the
Armory when liquid air experiments
and a wireless telegraph station in
fun operation will also be shown and
explained. ....

Campaigners of all the three leading
parties are to give the subject their
careful attention and there is expected
to be widespread discussion upon it
before the end of the campaign.
