Farmers of Oklahoma who have
contracts with the war department to
furnish hay, corn, oats and other
grain to TT. Sill are in danger of los
ing thousands of dollars. BY virtue
of the contracts they are forced to
furnish thousands of tons of hay and
thousands Of bushels of grain. but ow-
ing to the-drought they cannot begin
to meet the governments order. Some
of those having hay contracts cannot
fill them by one-third. All are under
heavy bond and II they donot con-
form to the stipulations in their con-
tracts they perforce will forfeit these
bonds. or be compelled to purchase
enough supplies. either of which cour-
ses is bound to cause bankruptcy. The
War Department holds that unless
entire crops are destroyed the farmers
will be asked to live up to the con-
tracts in full. Members of the Okla
homa delegation are endeavoring 70
get the officials to change their stand
in order to protect the farmers. Sew
eral Northern Texas farmers are like

FARM NOTES

There are number of good reme-
tlies for insects and diseases that att

destroy fowl Just because it has a
dangerous disease. Isolate the fowl
and begin to treat it. DO not imagine
that all diseases fowls contract are
inrurable
Change the poultry. yard occasion
ally. Where fowls are kept in the
same yard for a considerable length
of time the ground is apt to become
contaminated with droppings, insects
and diseases. Change the yard and
convert the old yard into cultivated
area for q year or two.
The surest plan to have a good gar
den next year is to begin the prepara7
tion of the soil now. Break the land,
amply the manure and have the land
in good condition when planting time
comes.
