THREE DINNERS
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Taft's Trunk Went Astray and His
Evening Clothes Were
Missing.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Prepared for
a whirlwind course of entertainment
in this city before setting out on his
important speech making tour of his
native state, President Taft came over
from Washington tonight. He went
directly to the home of his brother,
Henry w. Taft, where, after short
rest, he dressed and started out to
attend three dinners and look in for
a few moments on dance
The president was in fine fettle, and
will stay here until tomorrow even
ing when he will leave for Cleveland.
His dinner engagements included the
banquet of the Ohio society of New
York, the West Virginia society of
New York, the Aero Club of America,
and the dinner dance of the Daughters
of Jacob
The most important of the dinners
was that of the Ohio society, where,
in addition to the president, speeches
were delivered by Postmaster Gener-
al l1itSiiSOShp w hlbCletW tClu, w
S. Harding, and Andrew Carnegie.
The president was somewhat de-
layed in starting on the program laid
out for him because one of the presi-
dental trunks, containing his neces-
sary dinner garments, went astray en-
route from the depot Inasmuch as
evening clothes with presidential
build are hard to obtain at moment S
notice, even in New York. a general
search had to be made for the missing
baggage. Meanwhile the president
sent word to the Ohio society diners
to start the dinner without him. say
ing he would be on hand to speak
when his place on the program was
reached.
Half an hour later the president s
trunk arrived, having been rushed to
Henry Taftss home in an automobile.
The chief executive dressed hurriedly
and proceeded to the banquet where
he was warmly welcomed by the

the board declined to allow this claim
on the ground that two physicians

TIE VELVET BEAN A
VALUABLE PLANl
AZ Fertilizer or Soil 1mProVeI
Few Seeds Surpass It.

Few crops give more
tory results for as many pun po
han the velvet bean. Its first use
was for the purpose OF covering
trellises. screens or unsiSh'is
places. Its quick rank grown
makes it excellent as d cover crop
and for ornamental purposes.
This feature makes it obleotlonaDie
in citrus groves because OF the Dan
ger that the trees will be complete
IL shaded. or that the vines Will IN
terfere with gathering the frult.
In open fields, however, It IS not
only an excellent cover crop but IS
yery efficient in the eradication OF
troublesome weeds. Its use tor
human food IS limited.
Like other legumes it IS Of great
importance as d soil improVer.
The nodules which collect nitrogen
from the air vary II size from a
mere speck to the size of the pecan.
The greater part OF the nitrogen,
however. is found II the vines,
leaves. and seeds. An entire crop
plowed under as a fertilizer has
been found to add to each acre
ammonia equivalent to that applied
in 1000 pounds Of cottonseed meal
containing IS per cent OF am
monia. A ton Of beans IN the pod
contains $40 pounds Of nitrogen,
3I.S pounds of potash, and 1873
pounds Of phosphoric acid, having
a fertilizing value of $40 or Sill.
The hulls contain a much higher
percentage Of phosphoric acid and
potash. The time Of planting vel
vet beans depend upon the latitude,
season, and the purpose for which
the crop is grown.
Sound seed must be used to Sc
cure the largest yield. If the
beans are planted in the pod, they
may be soaked over night to soften
the pods and hasten termination.
This method of planting wastes
seed. prevents planting by machin-
cry. produces an uneven stand BY
reason Of poor termination, and
renders seed selection BY means Oh
the tanning mill impossible. Velvet
beans may be improved In yield BY
seed selection. As the beans car
not be cultivated after the vines
have reached any considerable
length, preparation Of the seed bee
should be deep and thorough.
The time Of harvesting will de
pend entirely upon the purpose fo1
which the crop has been grown. I:

HOGS AND HOG FEED.

The Commercial club Of Ardmore
have under adyisement plan
whereby they propose to furnish ev-
cry farmer who wishes them, ahm-
tied number of stock hogs at ac-
tual cost. It Is understood that
the packers OF Oklahoma City will
cooperate in the plan and that the
railroads will cut transportation
charges on these stockers and feed
ers TO the lowest mark.
Last season when feed was scarce
practically every hog in the south
ern and eastern portions OF the state
were sold for whatever 1t would
bring. Consequently We have none
left this year TO consume the large
grain crops with which this section
is 50 abundantly supplied. II has
been stated that a careful estimate
show that there are not over four
thousand hogs OF all kinds in Car
ter county. A careful estimate also
shows that, after putting aside all
necessary feed for horses and cat
tie, three fourths OF the grain crop
raised this year will remain in the
farmers hands. The idea is to sup
Tly these farmers with stock hogs
ranging in weight from fifty to
ninety or one hundred pounds at
their actual cost in Oklahoma City,
plus the carrying charges OF the
railroad companies and the cost OF
unloading and handling here.
Should the Ardmore commercial
club take up this matter and push
It through It will be doing a good
work There is nothing that will
produce results-big results-as
quickly as will the hog. Give him
a warm bed in winter and good,
clean lot in which TO exercise and
eat furnish him a sufficient amount
OF corn, with pure water to drink,
and he Will do the rest

farmer has the maker OF a bank
