Farms For Rent Scarce.

The rich soil and the banner
crop yields of Carter county have
become so broadly advertised that
practically every tract OF tillable
land in the county that has been
for rent is taken. Numerous farm
ers, both from this state and from
other states have come to Carter
county in the past few months and
have either bought or rented the
majority of the desirable farms.
There are a number of first class
farmers in Ardmore at the present
time" said Chales e. Fraley, lead
ing real estate dealer of this city.
to an Ardmoreite reporter yesterday
evening, who want to come to this
part of Oklahoma to live, who want
to locate here permanently, but who
want to rent the first year they
are here, so as to give the soil and
climatic conditions thorough test
before they make a permanent in
vestment of their capital. But there
seems to be great shortage or
farms that are not already taken. |

Fraley continued, "who has come all
the way from New Mexico to try
farming in Carter county hlIt IT
seems next to impossible to find an
unrented farm for him"

sixteen-year- old girl who died in

a gun shot wound received several
nights before while joy riding be-
tween this city and Lone Grove, as
told in full in yesterdays Ardmore-

afternoon for burial.
Mrs. B. M. Jones, mother of the
dead girl, arrived in the city from
her home at Ell Dorado last night.
Mrs. William Wright, an aunt OF
the girl, and her husband also came
in from their home at Golner. Tex.
James Harris, the grandfather,
camein yesterday evening from his
home at Pooleville. The relatives
have taken charge of the remains.
Mrs. Jones, the girls mother, is
greatly wrought up over the affair
and says that she knew nothing OF
the accident until she reached
Chickasha yesterday. AS soon as
she learned of the shooting she
boarded a train for Ardmore, but
did not know of her daughters
death until her arrival here.
The Barefoot woman who was

would also be Of value in disturbing
the cocoons.
According to DR.. L. o. Howard,
chief Of the bureau of entomology at
Washington, the slugs may be easily
washed off of small trees by a strong
stream of water applied from gar
den hose under heavy pressure. When
washed to the ground they are unable
to regain their places on the leaves.
Such a measure as this would be quite
feasible on small scale in cities, or
where water pressure is available.
Spraying is undoubtedly the best
remedy for the pear slug. Of the two
generations the first is the harder to
combat, especially on cherry trees,
since the fruit is present on the trees
at about the same time that the slugs
are abundant. Consequently due care
must be taken in the use of arsenical
poisons at that time. Arsenical poi
sons may be used freely for the Sec
ond generation in the late summer.
The pear slug is rarely destructive
in any locality for many years at a
time. This alternating abundance and
scarcity of the insect is due for the
most part to the activity of it's natural
enemies, the most abundant Of which
are two small egg parasites.

me pear slug, or cherry slug, is a
dark, almost black, Shiny slug, about
tWo-ffths Of an inch long when full

These slugs feed on the upper sides

except the veins and the lower surface.
The injured leaves become dry and
brown and fall from the trees, which
are sometimes left entirely bare of
foliage in midsummer.
Trees are often killed as a result Of
repeated defoliation. A short crop Of

insect, on account of the weakened
condition of the tree.
Trees that have been damaged by
the slugs appear as if they had been
damaged by fire. The leaves turn
brown, curl up and finally fall. Cherry
trees, under such conditions, are
forced to put out new growth Of
leaves, weakening the tree and re-
ducing the crop of fruit the following
year.
The slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. They first make
their appearance about the middle of
June, and the second appearance is
about the third week in July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting it over
the leaves.

given to bow-legs and knock-knees by
Professor Francke, writing in the
Muenchener Medirinische Wochen-
schrift, who bases his remarks upon
the examination of LOO pairs of legs
taken at random.
O-legs always look like strong
limbs, while X-legs give the impress
sion of weak members. Professor
Francke lays down the rule that if
when standing in a natural position
the knees and ankles touch without
forcing, the subject has straight legs.
If, with the ankles touching, there is
as much as two centimeters between
the knees, it is bow-legged If, with the
knees touching, there be two centime-
ters between the ankles, it is knock
kneed or X-legged.
Children born with 0 or straight
legs tend become X-legged while
learning to walk, but this condition
tends to disappear in men up to the
twenty-third year, or in perhaps 25
per cent. up to the thirty-eighth year.
Women, however, tend to remain
knock-kneed or x-legged throughout
life, as result of their skirts and
their lack of exercise.
The ancient Greeks never had and
modern savages never have X-legs,
which, Professor Francke says, are
consequences of civilization and tend
to imply physical inferiority.

hand when they are small, easily
handled and quick to learn? Slip the
halter on the colt occasionally. By
slow degrees get it accustomed to
leading up when the lead-strap is
frightened and you move.
But don't get in hurry. The colt
has been used to going aheal of you
so don't expect it to follow too soon.
A lump of sugar or few oats held in
the hand just in front of the little
fellow are much better trainers In
teaching it to lead than dragging 1t
by the lead strap and having some
one behind it with a club or fishing
pole to "shoo" it along.

Cultivation under infested trees is
of value, since it disturbs the cocoons
in the soil there.
Since the slugs spend the greater
part of the year in the ground under
the trees infested in the summer it
follows that thorough stirring of the
soil would tend to break up the CO.
coons containing the slugs, and so ex-
pose them to the elements. Berlese
has suggested this measure against
this insect in Italy. This cultivation
would be most effective in the fall so
