Don't Burn Stalks.

With many farmers stalk burning
will soon be in order. The reason
usually assigned for this practice
is that the stalks must be gotten
out6Fdhe way That is not, and
never has been, a valid reason.
The stalks will not be in the way
if they are cut and deeply turned
under.
In late years many farmers have
burned stalks in the belief that
they were getting rid of big brood
of boil Weevils AS a matter of
fact, at the time they burned the
stalks they have destroyed practl-
cally no Weevils. A much larger
number could have been destroyed
by deeply turning under all stalks
and trash. This year there are
but few Weeyils in the fields and no

School superintendent Believes That
the Opposition VIII Prove
Too strong.

superintendent Robert A. Down
ing of the Tulsa city schools believes
that the Akin bill for the abolishment
of number of state educational in
stituti0ns, will not be made law.
His reasons for this, he says, are the
fact that there are so many Of these
schols scattered about tho state that
the persons residing in the vicinity
of each have united in one grand ef-
fort To fight the adoption of the bill,
and as a result 1t will be pretty
hard thing for the supporters Of the
bill TO put II through.
Mr.. Downing has resided ut Glare
more where one of the preparatory
schools Is located and is now living
in Tulsa county where is situated an
agricultural school, therefore he does
not. desire to commit himself as to
his personal opinion whether the
bill is deserving of support or not.
THE pruning knife cuts too deep"
said Mr. Downing, in commenting on
the bill, "and its supporters have
simply out-fIeroded Hcrod. There

bill being put through.
