BARLEY CLEARS WEEDS

Owing to its early maturity, barley
Is an excellent crop for clearing the
land of weeds. as it Is cut before they
mature seed. After the crop Is re-
moved the land can be plowed or
disked. thus destroying the weeds that
are growing I'm the stubble Further
cultivation will kill any that survive
this treatment or appear later. In the
semi-arid regions this added cultiva-
serving the moisture for the succeed.

Dockage for Weeds.
The total money loss to the farm
ers of the United States In small
grains alone on account OF weeds ia
about $26. 100000
This estimate does not include the
loss on account of the nutriment stol-
en- from the ground or the stunted
growth Of the cereal on account of
the weeds present.
Were all these conditions taken in.
to consideration. with the coarse
grains and grasses included, the re-.
suits would be startling. and our care
lessness in this respect so apparent
as to awaken action to recover this
enormous loss
Weeds Unnecessary.
Science has made 1t possible to
eliminate the weeds and grow grain in
their place. The sulphate OF iron
process is proved success in killing
many noxious weeds and is entirely
within the reach of every farmers

Political Suicide.n

The New York Worlds declaration
that the nomination of Champ Clark
for the presidency would be political
suicide is strong statement.
All the stronger does it appe ar in the
light of the Worlds confession that
it has for the Speaker warm personal
regard.
The Worlds argument on available
ty is exactly the argument repeatedly
made in these columns, that Champ
Clark addresses no appeal to, and
would not get the support of the indie
pendent Vote, without which the party
cannot win.
On single point do we differ from
the World. as to Indiana. Clark or
any other progressive can carry that
state. Clark would be strong candi-
date in the middle west against Taft,
but he would be no stronger than Will
con, and in the opinion of this news
paper not SO strong. With Roosevelt
the candidate Wilson would be inf
tnitely stronger than the Speaker.
. But even granting the two leading
candidates equal strength in this Sec
ton, by no stretch Of the Imagination,
and by no process Of reason is Clark to
be put in the same class with Wilson
in the east. The latter alone could
carry New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Maine. Clark could not.
Wilson is the idol of the Independent
Vote. He is the very spirit of the pro-
test against corrupt machine govern
ment which has produced revolt
throughout the east. To the people of
New Jersey, he is the Moses who led
them out of the wilderness and the
faith he inspired in them as candi-
date he would inspire in vast majority
of the people of the nation, so that
votes would seem literally to come out
of the ground and out of the air for
him as in New Jersey where he turned
a republican plurality into Democrat
ic plurality of so, 600 and has redeemed
his every pledge to the people. -Du-

A SEED PLAT
How to Select and Grow Your Own

To start the seed plat, ask your state

lecting your seed every year. after
you have 1t started.
You should get number Of your
neighbors to SOW the same variety
and keep it pure so that enough barley
will be raised in your vicinity to en-
ploy thresher on barley alone so that
grain. This will pay you. as entire
carloads Of the same good variety al
ways bring premium.
Select Seed Yourself.
You can improve your own barley
year by year Go through the large
field just before harvesting. and Sc
lect all of the best individual plants
that can be quickly obtained. keeping
in mind good stooling, large heads and
vigorous. healthy plants without rust
or smut. Continue selecting until a
sufficient number of bundles of the
plants are obtained. which, when
threshed. will give seed enough for
sowing an acre of ground. or more

This selected grain can be threshed
simply by fail or by tramping or
beating inside Of a bag; or If the seed

should be selected from the plat in
the manner before described, and the
seed of these choice plants should be
used the following season for the
seed plat. All the remainder OF the
seed from the seed plat should then
be used for sowing the general crop
next season.

be placed in burlap sacks with not

SCORES ARE KILLED
AND MANY INJURED
IN WESTERN STORM
Tornado in Oklahoma Blows
Train From Track-All
Wires Down.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. April 2S.-
Originating early yesterday afternoon
in the Panhandle section of Texas and
proceeding in a quarter circle covering
nearly 100 miles, Il tornado visited a
great region Of southwestern Oklahoma,
killing scores and wounding many. The
property loss will amount to thousands
of dollars.
Telegraph and telephone communica-
ton with the territory affected was
completely paralyZed early this morn
ing when a severe wind and rainstorm
visited Oklahoma City, leveling wires
in all directions and doing considerable
damage.
The town of Lugert was hurdest hit.
Fifteen persons lost their lives there,
While many were injured. At Eldorado
four are dead and many injured at
Yukon.
Little is known of what occurred in
the rural districts. 1t is known that the
damage was severe, however. 1t will
be late today or Monday before details
can be learned.
The tornado passed near Altus, Okla,
but did little damage there. Blair, on
the Orient railroad route, was the next
town visited. Much hail and rain ac-
companied it at that point, but no

Blair for physicians, who went to the
scene.
Passing on through the country be-
tween Hobart and Lone Wolf, II struck
next at Hinton, where several were In
jured.
Through the country near Hobart
many children were away from home
and have not yet returned, and their
parents are frantic.
A trainload of cattle were unloaded
at Altus as the tracks and bridges are
all out on the Orient and the road has
issued orders reducing speed to two
miles an hour over the route.
From latest reports today the great
est damage seems to have been done In
the rural districts.
AS the tornado proceeded along Its
course, travelling from southwest to
northeast, it lost none. of its force.
From many of the larger towns in
the stricken district relief and doctors
are being hurried to the stricken
towns.
Altus, Hobart, Lone Wolf, and sew
eral other large towns were touched
on the outskirts by the tornado.
