This is an entry in the record of the
district court of Roger Mills county
made by Judge G. A. Brown. Charles
koontz and Graham were sentenced
months ago to 40 years each for rob
bling this bank.
If it had not been for the pluck and
nerve of Mrs. Henry L. Goode, whose
husband was cashier of the Crawford
bank. the three robbers probably
would have escaped conviction.
The night preceding the robbery of
the Crawford bank she and her hus-
band slept in a room at the rear of
the bank, her husband having worked
late at the bank and not wishing 10

Mrs. Goode obstinately refused to

PREPARATION Of SEED OATS

1t is by no means an uncommon
thing to find that the oats used for
seed purposes were taken directly from
the oat bin without any special care
or attention being given before they
were sown Every farmer certainly
appreciates the fact that small or light
and immature seed can by no means
lie expected to produce as strong and
vigol Gus plants AS well the large,
plump grains. This has been SO thor
oughly demonstrated, and requiring is
it does so little amount of time to
properly prepare the seed that no one
can he excused for not giving this
matter his most careful attention.
flaming and Grading the Seed.
The benefits derived from tanning
and grading the seed are indeed very
marked BY so doing, the light, chafry
grains. which are much less valuable
for seed purposes, will be removed.
Likewise, the weed seed may be elm
ira ted. This is an especially import
ant factor in some localities where
weeds such as mustard and others
ful Again, not only will the weed
seeds and light. inferior seed oats be
removed, but the large plump cat
grains may be separated from the
smaller lighter ones. This is all i'm
portant. In general, we find that the
early oats have been much better
yic!Gers than have the late oats. In
all cases. however, we find even in
desirable seasons that all the grains

not sufficiently filed. In seasons when
the oats run light in weight. such as
last year when many of them were
weighing from Is to "a pounds per

oats are thoroughly famed and
screened, in many instances it will be
hud to save more than 5 to 20 per

The data above given, covering as

produced l4.6 per cent. more than the
medium sized plump grains of the

SEED BED FOR OATS.

A carefully prepared seed bed has
been one of the most neglected fea.
lures in connection with the produc-
ton of oats. Oats respond to
well-prepared seed bed as we'll
as any of our crops and it is too
mucn to expect good crop when we
mop them into the ground, or
rat her mop" in a few and leave a
good part of the seed on top We are
led to believe that about 70 per cent.
of the oats are put in before the seed
bed is prepared, the oats being simply
