first crops to be planted outdoors
Time is gained by starting the 9TH
ers indoors-or most of them-at the
earliest possible moment after the
seed is received from the dealers.
In planning for succession, some
assistance may be gained from study
of the following plan, practiced sue
cessfully by an expert amateur:
In row /, radishes and lettuce are
planted
In row 2, beets.
In row 3, green beans and peas.
In row a, early corn.
In row 5, tomatoes.
In row 6, parsnips and carrots.
AS these crops mature, the follow
ing planting is followed:
Row /, mid-season corn.
Row 2, eggplant or cauliflower.
Row 3, late lettuce or kale.
Row 4, lima beans.
Row 5, late cabbage between the
tomatoes.
Row 6, carrots and parsnips remain.

beginner than that which directs him
to study carefully and thoroughly the

STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP
sorreIIs,s Case Revived

Suit was instituted in the district
court by Assistant Attorney General
Moore against the Globe Surety COM
pany of Kansas City for the recovery
of $7,447.32, the amount reported as
the shortage in the accounts Of j..
Wash Sorrells, former cashier in the
state school land department. The
company furnished a $4,000 bond to
the state for Sorrells on July 81, 1912,
the time extending for one year.
The shortage was discovered on
May 20 of the present year, the bond
company being notified OF the findings
on the day following. Shortly after
the discovery, Sorrells left the serv-
ice of the school land department. An
information was filed in Justice Don
nell's court charging him with embez-
element. After the preliminary hear.
ing he was bound over to the higher
courts.
Sorrells is a son of State Senator
Sorrells. The former cashier has been
active in Democratic politics for
number Of years, having been identi-
fled officially with the Young Mems
Democratic league. At one time he
was candidate for appointment by
President Wilson as marshal for the
western district of Oklahoma.

The School Book Case.

Seventeen reasons are given by the
entire state board of education for re-
fusing to carry out the contracts en-
tered into by the 1912 state board of
education and Wheeler & Company,
together with five other book compan-
les that are seeking a mandatory writ
directing the present state board of
education to carry out the 1912 con-
tracts.
The reasons are embodied in the
state board of education's answer to
the alternative writ granted and filed
in district court of Oklahoma county.
Defendants in their answer say that
the writ Of mandamus should not be
granted as the state board of educa-
ton has discretionary power to &C.
cept or reject contracts and is not
answerable for its conduct to any
court. The board contends that all
members, except President R. H. Will
son, have Joined in the answer filed
and that Wilson has filed a separate
answer in which he alleges that the
1912 contracts are valid.

supersedeas Denied

The supreme court has denied a
supersedeas in the action brought by
the different railroads in the state
against the amended order Of the cor
poration commission permitting in
terstate passengers to pay in cash
the additional part of the fare to
destination outside of the state. I'm
der the order of the commission the
passenger destined to a point outside
of the state could buy ticket to the
last station within the state at the
increased rate of two cents a mile,
then pay cash in addition without the
addition penalty of the remainder of
the mileage to the point Of destina-
ton, out of the state. This order
was amended so as to relieve the
difficulty of an original order requir-
ing trains to stop at the last station
in the state and allow passengers TO
get off and buy tickets to destina-
ton. The railroad companies APP
pealed the whole order and asked for
a supersedeas bond. By the action
of the high court now the railroads
will have to await the action of the
court on the order of the commits
sion.

that they shall make money. II Is

acres sown to this crop which yielded
1876 bushels of seed M. p. Cook of
Red Fork had an equally good yield
from three acres. Both these farmers
lost their kafr and milomaize, due to
the ravages Of the chinch bugs, which
bothered feterita very little. Farmers
are planning to plant at least 1000
acres in the new crop next spring.

ONLY HALF A COTTON CROP
Board of Agriculture Gives condl-
lions at SIS Per Cent

Basing the full crop at 100 per
cent the 1918 cotton crop of Okla
bona will be 521s per cent, which is
about half the 1912 yield, the latter
being much above the average, ac-
cording to the crop report of the
state board of agriculture, which
shows conditions on October rs. No
figures have been prepared so far on
the 1913 crop claiming to be official,
or a close estimate of the crop ia
bales, but 1t believed the crop will
not run over 100000 bales and may
be less. Last year there were more
than a million bales. About 10 2-3
per cent of the normal yield of cot
ton was damaged by boil worm.
While in many places the corn was
totally lost, there were some places
where nearly bumper crops were
raised, The state average under such
conditions, must necessarily be low,
but 1t is shown that the average was
1874 bushels to the acre. The same
conditions apply to Irish potatoes. In
some places the yield was good, 9TH
ers there were none. The average
for. the state is 491a bushels to the
acre. Kafir corn yielded an average
of 1914 bushels to the acre and "a
tons of forage, while feterita yield
ed 24H bushels of seed to the acre
and 2 1-3 tons of forage.
Growing condition of pasture is ex-
ceedingly good for this season of the
year Much wheat has been sown
and much of it is being pastured, SO
favorable has the growing condition
been since seeding.

silage to cattle and other livestock.
There are more silos in the vicinity
of Enid than near any other city in
Oklahoma. The writer spent some
in that section and visited many farms
where the silo had brought affluence
to its owner. For ten miles or more
on each side of the road travelled by
the party silos were visible in every
direction. Their pointed roofs peered
above the tallest trees, their ample
proportions dominated the landscape
and their glistening sides beckoned
from afar and heralded the new era of
agriculture for Oklahoma, in which
the farmer converts previous waste
into dividends. There are at least a
dozen silos in the immediate outskirts
OF Enid and two or three are within
the corporate limits of the city.
Farmers who had none talked Of
building a silo and those who had
silos talked of erecting more. Elk,

the silo is the best friend Of the
farmer and that without one, farming

the girl and to the young man. 1t
gave advice to the goat and to the
pig. 1t advised the goat to pin the pig
to the fence with his horns and hold
him there until life was extinct. 1t
advised the pig to remember Bunker
Hill and go in and make whirlwind

Not until the police came did each
owner gather up the remains of his
animal and quit the scene of the COM
bat. Their glances expressed nothing
but supreme indignation as they
turned away. 1t was 80 plain that they

Gee! but 'sposen he should fall in

she would turn him down."
And 1t happened. 1t was bound to
happen. Destiny wouldn't have missed
such golden opportunity for all the
old second hand hats in Boston. A

but they are bound to be abandoned
for something else.
Miss Nora Lee got home from the
scene of that tragedy Disguised with
her goat and herself. 1t wasn't the
same goat with which she so blithely
set out an hour before, and she
wasn't the same girl She found her
self hoping that the goat would Jump
the fence and take himself off to be
seen by her no more. Then she would
buy parrot or tame crow, or a
squirrel with wheel in his cage.
She might even turn to q French bull
dog or an alligator from Florida.
And Mr.. Burt Wiltshire reached
home to telephone to the nearest
butcher:
Say, now, do you want to buy

'If you take him away at once you
can have him for two dollars"

Mr.. Wiltshire also determined to
drop his pig-fad for another. 1t might
be for a donkey or a camel-he would
think 1t over
And one day two weeks later the
girl without the goat and the young
man without pig met face to face
