CULTIVATION
SHALLOW LoosENlNG OF THE
sUB-soIL is A GREAT AID TO
CONSERVING MOISTURE.
NEVER ALLOW CRUST TO FORM
Drought Can Be Successfully Fought
In Oklahoma, If the Ground is
Kept in Proper Condition to
Hold the Water.

Over the entire State of Oklahoma,
the ground is saturated deep down
into the subsoil, and now that fair,
warm weather is at hand, every farm
er is anticipating bountiful crop
this year.
We have plenty Of moisture now but
we have not any assurance that we
are going to continue to have it all
during the year. The way to give
crops moisture during dry periods is
to store up this moisture in the
ground during the wet periods 1t can
then be used by the plants during the
periods of no rainfall.
II there is one thing that we would
like to impress upon every farmer and
truck grower in Oklahoma at this
time, it is to put the lid on the moist
ure supply while we have it. We have
Just one way to do this and that is by
cultivating the surface of the soil to
prevent evaporation

moisture which may be in the sub
soil and which, in the form of vapor,
escapes continually unless prevented
by a loose surface through which the
vapor will not pass readily.
Every farmer should take lesson
from the dry, hot weather of the past
two weeks and should hold every
little bit of moisture which falls by
frequent, shallow, pulverizing cultit
walton. Take the long pointed shovels
off of the cultivators, put the bull
tongue pillow in the shed; use only
the widest, --LATEST of sweeps or other
implements that will pulverise the
surface of the soil without cutting off
the plant roots or opening up the soil
so deep as to dry it out Instead of re-
tanning the moisture. Drag a weight
between the rows, pulverize the sur
face and create dust mulch; begin
cultivation as soon after rains as pos
sible. Hold the moisture when you
get it, because you will surely get
some moisture and almost certainly
sufficient to mature drouth-resistant
crops if cultivation is properly done.
The principal thing to keep in mind
is to pulverize the surface and do it
now Where crops are already plant
ed. surface cultivation should begin
as soon as the top soil begins to dry.
Never allow crust to form over any
of the land you are cutivating.

SITE COMMITTEE CHOSEN.

A very elaborate ceremony is al

various state sites and in which case
Of other states has been selected by

Senator Accused Of Big Shortage.

Oklahoma City.-Senator Z. j. War
ner, former district clerk of Blaine
county, recently arrested az the in
stance of his bondsmen for embez7le-
ment OF county funds, has a shortage
CT $7,S33.64 for which TO account, ac-
cording to report made to State Ex-
aintner and Inspector Fred Parkinson,
by Special Deputies II. e. J. Putnam
and H. e. Bonesteel. Warner was ar.
rested shortly after the recent recses
of the legislature upon a charge of
embezzlement. His bondsmen, T. B.
Ferguson, T. j. Ballew, H. Brown and
Ed. S. Wheelock demanded his arrest.
Warner was elected to the office OF
district clerk of Blaine county at state
hood and held this place until Deem
Der 2, 1912, when he resigned to take
a place in the senate. The investl-
cations Of Deputies Putnam and Bone
steel covered the period from July 1,
1910, to January 6, 1913.
The report indicates that S1,766.6O
was due the county from Warner and
that he was short $5,376.91 in fees
due various lltigants who had made
deposits with the clerk for costs
which should have been turned over.
A previous report showed that War.
ner was short $697.45 prior to July /,
1910. County was debtor to Warner
$l7.32 for salary, according to the re.
port Of the committee. This left
balance of $7SS364 that Warner has
to settle.
In some of the cases for which fees
we're deposited final judgment has
been rendered and in other cases
final judgment is pending. Warner was
succeeded in the office of district
clerk of Blaine county by zula ].
Smith who was appointed to fill out
the unexpired term.
