BENNINGTON
ROUGHNECKS
HAD TAKEN PRISONER FROM OF.
FICER AND THREE ARE NOW
UNDER ARREST

Bennington also had hot time Sat
urday night, when bunch of roughs
took prisoner away from the deputy
town marshal and refused to give him
up, and Deputy Ruel Taylor from the
sherifrs office brought to the county
jail Thursday morning w. B. Bunker,
Ben Risner and John Cobb, as a re-
suit of the fracas. The story is told
as follows:
Roscoe Gardner had been drunk and
raising z disturbance in the streets
when Town Marshal Tickner arrested
him. Gardner showed fight. and
knocked the officer down and jumped
on him, brt Ticker succeeded in get
ting up and put Gardner out with the
butt of his gun Tickner then left
the prisoner in charge OF deputy,
Tom Collins to guard while he went to
get help. Meantime Bunker, Risner
and several others came upon the
scene and bodily rescued Gardner
from Collins and took him to the Cor
ner Drug Store. where Ticlkner and
Collins were refused admittance when
they returned after their prisoner, and
the prisoner has not been captured
yet.
The charge against Bunker and Ris-
ner is of assisting a prisoner to es-
cape and resisting an officer The
good people. of Bennington are
wrought up over the occurrence and
have determined to put a stop to that
sort of busines. Bob Stacy was sworn
in as marshal Wednesday of thss week
and has promised to maintain order
and people who know stacy say IA
the rougn element knows better thar
to start trouble with him.
The same evening John Cobb was
arrested after being drunk and run,

COTTON STILL
is GOING UP
sI3.55 PAID WEDNESDAY.-FOUR-
TEEN POINTS UP THURSDAY
MORNING

Cotton brought the highest price Of
the season Wednesday of this week,
when several bales were sold on the
streets here for $13.55, and the repcr.
of Thursday morning showed the MAJ
ket still fourteen points higher. Cot
ton is not being marketed very fast,
partially due to the wet weather which
was in vogue for the past ten days,
but with few days of sunshine it
should pe coming in pretty fast with
in another week.
Persons who at the opening of the
season predicted fifteen cen. cotton
still profess their confidence in its
reaching that price. and as a result OF
the feeling, farmers who fird them
selves financially able to d, so, are
many of them holding thejr cotton,
awaiting the fifteen cent price.

CFrom The Muskogee Phoenix,

while the season has been one OF
the worst in the history Of the state,
the results have emphasized the value
of the farm demonstration work more
than those of any year since It was
begun in this territory said VI.
Daley. district agent Of the United
States department of agriculture, at
Muskogee, lin producing abnormal
Yields when crops raised under the old
methods of cultivation have all but

As he spoke he pointed to heavy.
well formed, short jointed Melbane
cotton stalk over his desk on which
appeared seventeen ripe bolls, all but
two beautifully opened. and four large
well formed green bolls which would
have easily matured with a short spell
Of SUNNY weather. This cotton was
grown by Otis Pitts on patch of two
acres of prairie land one mile south
of Oktaha, the yield being estimated
at thousand pounds to the acre
while the production of the neighbor-
ing farms ranges from three to five
hundred pounds per acre. Another
boy, at Webbers Falls. raised on heavy
bottom land, two acres, about twelve
hundred pounds to the acre.
Herbert Nabors. age 16, raised
near Gore, an acre of kaffir corn
which is something of wonder He
has fifty-five shocks of fodder stand
ing in his little field and made $3.50
pounds of kaffir heads.
These are specimens of the work of
boys at various points.
The fundamental principles of the
demonstration work" said Mr.. Daily
ARE deeo fall blowing; followed by
the preparation of firm, compact
seed bed, planting of pure seed, ac-
climated, If possible. The first culti-
vation must be deep enough to allow
the roots to become established at a
good depth in the soil, after which
there should be frequent cultivation
especially following every rain
Among other things. Mr.. Daily
said: The lesson of the season 1.
that there should be variety of crops
planted SO that If there is a failure
of one or more the farmer will hav'
something to carry him through.
The average yield of corn over thu
State will not be over ten bushels t
the acre. But many farmers will b.
saved from trouble by crops of kaffil
! corn and milo maize. the acreage o
which has been increased at leas
three hundred per cent the past yea.

l should say II might be to the advan-
tage Of the farmers to plant a little
less cotton and more of forage crops
which will be relied upon in a
drouthy season Feterita and milo
maize which come to maturity early
are good drouth evaders. Kaffir corn
and peanuts, which mature later, are
drouth resisters. Peanuts are coming
out wonderfully since the rains set in.
Farmers have been complaining
through the summer that their peanuts
we're not doing any good and some
of them we're giving up this part OF
their seasons work as a bad job be-
fore the end of the drouth But as
soon as it was broken, after one Of
two rains. the. plants began to send
their roots down into the ground and
they will soon have plenty Of nuts on
them.
I'VE had plenty of early vegetables
and fruits. Some of the farmers
made money off of water elons, to-
matoes and other things. OF course,
there was a scarcity of these things az
the latter part OF the season, but the
drouth was general. 7 don't under
take to say what may happen in the
future, but look for a rainy year to
follow. They are talking irrigation in
the western part of the State to guard
against the contingencies of dry sea-
son. In the meantime It is hard to
find any better safeguard than deep
plowing n the fall, eight to twelve
inches. II this is followed by proper
methods Of cultivation the results will
be satisfactory as has been the case
with all who have followed the in
