Sweet Clover as a Weed.
An Iowa correspondent writes

An Iowa correspondent writes:
Il would like to know when sweet
clover should be cut for hay. Some
of my neighbors tell me that if
neighbor does not wish it, you can
not SOW sweet clover, because of the
| likelihood of the seed blowing over
| into the neighbor's field, the law Civ
ing it as a wa'N''
There is notAmsrin the law to pre-
vent any man from seeding sweet
clover on the farm The noxious
weeds. according to the Iowa law,
are quack grass, curled dock, buck
horn, wild parsnip, horse nettle, vel
vet weed, and burdock Sweet clov-
er is not noxious weed in any sense
of the word. 1t is very easily con-
trolled,, either by clean cultivation or
by frequent moving.
The proper time to cut sweet Glow
er for hay the first season of it's
growth is in August or September,
after it has made as large a growth
as it will for the season. The Sec
ond season, two cuttings may be had.
The first one should be made early
in the season, before the blossom
buds come out. If it is delayed be
yond this time the hay is woody. In
cutting sweet clover for hay, the
mower should be set rather high.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 24.-(Spe-

right the five district agricultural

ena, was introduced in the house yes
terday by Representative Lemon of

they are located for whatever dispo-
sition the town may desire to make
of them.
1t also provides for the abolishment

HALF MILLION APPROPRIATED
FOR NEW BUILDING AT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 24.-(Spe-
cial.)-The largest appropriation bill
introduced at this session of the leg
islature made its appearance yester-
day when Senator j. b. Thompson in
troduced a bill providing for the
spending of half million dollars on
the state university at Norman.
The bill provides for the erection
Of many new buildings. They are a
heating and power plant, a science
hall auditorium and fine arts build
ing and a home for the president
Whether the bill will stand any
chance of passing is problematical, as
the wave Of economy that has swept
the country seems likely to head off
any such large expenditures at this
time.

pected.

TRUSTEES HOLD
STATE MEETING
TOWNSHIP OFFICERS FROM ALL
OVER STATE HOLD MEETING
AT OKLAHOMA CITY.
ARE AGAINST Adjustment
Pass Resolutions, Asking Legislature
10 Forget About Abollshing
Their Offices.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 24.-(Spe-
cial. )-Township trustees from all
over the state met in Oklahoma City
today in state convention and went on
record against the abolishing of any
township officers but asked the legis-
lature to use the axe generously with
other officers, both state and county
The resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows.
Resolved, That we protest against
the adjustment lof township officers,
recommend to our representatives
that they use their best efforts to ac-
complish the following recommenda.
tions:
First. We recommend the repeal
OF the county assessors law, giving
to each township the right to select
their own assessor and returning to
the old township law giving the town
ship board authority to levy n tax
on all property OF from one to five
mills for road purposes, giving the
preferment to each resident land own
er the privilege Of working out such
tax in lieu of payment thereon, and
to give each section line their share
of road work. We believe in a sys-
tenn that starts at the farm and builds
to the nearest market.
Second. We recommend that the
Office Of state highway commissioner
be abolished and that the road build
ing be handed over to the county and
township. We believe In local self
government, saving taxes TO the state
whenever II can be done.
Third. We recommend that the Of
flee of game warden he abolished and
a good wholesome law be enacted to
protect the property owner in his
rights. We feel this law takes away
part Of our right granted in the con-
stitution.
Fourth. We favor the abolshment
of the branch agricultural schools and
the various state reform schools
where the attendance at such schools
exceeds fifty (50) from the commun-
ity where located. making these
schools practically a high school for
the towns where located. We consider
the school inspectors office a useless
office and by abollshlng 1t will save
the state eighteen hundred dollars
(s1,sOO.0O) a year and travelling ex-
penses.
Fifth. The fire marshal's office
costs the state eight thousand dollars
(ss,000.00) a year. which should be
abolished. In the interest Of Oklahoma
and tax payers we feel there should
be general reduction Of offices and
thereby reduce their taxes. (Signed)
