Farm Notes Of Interest to All

Set the peach trees and make
preparations for a good peach or
chard. A few acres in peaches may
be source of considerable profit. If
you have little room plant a few
trees anyway so you may have fresh
fruits for your home. Peaches are
most excellent fruits and no orchard
is complete without them.
This is the season for planting
early vegetables. Onions, lettuce.
turnips, radishes,. mustard and gar
den peas may be planted quite early.
II fact. your success with these
vegetables will depend very largely
upon the planting season. There is
always some risk In early planting,
but the ground is in better condition
should the first planting be killed,
hence the loss is very little after all.
Peach trees should be cut back
considerably when they are trans

Pecnns for Oklahoma.


The pecan crop can be made a val
liable asset for the state with but
little effort on the part of our farm
ers.
o. X. Darden, the pecan king of
Oklahoma. has demonstrated on his
farm in Carter county that the nat
i've pecan, by proper pruning and
cultivation. can be made to grow
three times the size il grows with
out any attention, and besides this
he has demonstrated that the native
pecan can be budded with the fine
paper shell pecan and made to pro-
duce the finest variety OF nut in the
world. The u. S. department of ag-
riculture has demonstrated that the
hickory tree can be budded to the
fine pecan, with good results, and
one of these days, Mr.. Darden thinks
he will be able perhaps to trans
form the. hickory groves of southern
Oklahoma to pecan groves so that
they will produce wonderful
amount of food. There Is no doubt
that the pecan has great value as a
food and with proper propagation
can be made a most profitable crop.
One Teas farmer has increased his
pecan production from IS an acre
and the work is just now in its in
fancy.
Many farmers in eastern Oklaho-
ma have learned to regard the pecan
as one of the best drouth resistant
and most dependable crops that can
be found for Oklahoma. Pecan
groves on every farm in Oklahoma
where soil conditions are favorable
will add millions OF dollars to the
wealth of our state.

Frisco Field Work.

Frisco Field Work.
(By N. t. McAlester, Frisco Demon
stratior Agent.)
The Frisco demonstration work
was first undertaken in the early
part of 1913 but too late to secure
any early preparations of the seed
bed which is very important item
in farming Last year we located
farmers at 27 different places along
the Frisco railroad lines in eastern
Oklahoma, "a OF which we're very
successful. Good seed as we'll as
the proper and timely cultivation
were the main battle cries after the
crop was planted. Our object Is of
manifold character The first and
greatest is to give the farmer some
valuable lessons in the use of time,
when the season comes to cultivate,
another is the importance of keeping
the record of the work, thing that
few farmers do. Another is to
teach him to eliminate the unprofit-
able things connected with the farm
life and to encourage the raising of
purebred livestock If one man can
make a profit on the farm we be-
lieve another could do the same
thing under similar conditions. but
many farmers need to be taught
along these lines. The records of
some of our farms in central and
southern Oklahoma are very salts

The Allies View
(By Alfred w. Bryce

The German view of the insight
ficance or worthlessness of interna-
tional agreements was proven during
the first days of the war by their
invasion of Belgium. Prof Eliot
President Emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity, declares:
''The complete preparation of the
German army for sudden war, the
authority to make war always ready
in the hands of the German Emperor,
and the thorough studies of the Ger
man staff into the most advantageous
plans of campaign against every
neighbor, conspired to develop a new
doctrine of military necessity" as the
all sufficient excuse for desragarding
and violating the contracts or agree
ments into which Prussia or the new
Germany had entered with other ma
tions. To gain quickly a military ad-
vantage in attacking a neighbor came
to be regarded as proper ground for
violating any or all international trea-
ties and agreements no matter how
solemn and comprehensive, how old
or how new.
This German view of the worthless.
ness of international agreements was
not a cause of the present war, be-
cause it was not fully evident to Eu
rope, although familiar and of LONG
standing in Germany; but it is a DO.
tent reason for the continuance of the
war by the allies until Germany is
defeated; because it is plain to all the
nations of the world, except Germany
Austria-Hungary and Turkey at the
moment, that the hopes of mankind
Tor the gradual development of inter
national order and peace rest on the
sancity of contracts between nations
and on the development of adequate
sanctions in the administration of in
ternational law. The new doctrine OF
military necessity affrosts all law. and
is completely and hoplessly barbar
ous."

WEDDING OF CHARMING GIRL OF
INTEREST HERE

The marriage of Miss Jane Hood
to Mr.. Julien Herndon Of Birmingham,
Ala, took place Wednesday night at
nine o'clock. at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. c.
Hood, at Leesburg.
Miss Hood is a charming young
girl, and her marriage is of especial
interest here, where she has visited
several times, and because of the fact
that her parents formerly resided in
Ocala and were married in this city,
Mrs. Hood having been Miss Lola
Wright, who, during her girlhood,
was one of Ocala's most popular
bellies.
Miss Hoods only sister, Miss Eliza
beth Hood, was her maid of honor
and Mr.. Hunter Brown of Pensacola
was the groom's best man. There
were several other attendants, two
groomsmen from Birmingham, and
the bridesmaids from Savannah and
Birmingham.
Miss Marguerite Porter of this city
attended the Herndon-Hood wedding
and sang several pretty solos preced-
ing the marriage ceremony.
After the marriage an informal re-
ception was held.
Mr. and Mrs. Rerndon left over the
night tain for a wedding trip, after
which they will reside in Birming
ham, where Mr.. Herndon is one o
the leading of the younger busines
men.

Mr.. cARMlcHAEL'S MAGNIFICENT
PROPOSITION

If our judgment is worth anything
we do not hesitate to state that the
proposition which Mr.. Ed Carmichael
made to the business men of Ocala at
the board of trade roms Tuesday
is the finest one on the subject OF
freight rates that has ever been con
sidered.
Mr.. Carmichael already owns one
freight boat, which is only capable OF
taking care of half the freight that
comes to Ocala. His offer, therefore
is that if the business men of Ocala
will put an additional boat on the riv'
! er that he will operate both boats,
taking care of their upkeep, and will
haul all kinds OF freight from Jack
sonville to Ocala for just one-half OF
the rates now paid to the railroad
companies.
Mr.. Carmichael agrees to attend to
the re-handling of the freight at Jack
sonville and delivering it into the
warehouse at Silver Springs at no ad,
ditional charge.
He agrees also to see that the goods
are hauled from Silver Springs and
delivered to the merchants at their
warehouses here for not more than
five cents per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Carmichael makes the further
offer that if the business men OF
Ocala will form a company and will
appoint some competent man to man
age the boat service that he will turn
his boat over to the company free of
cost.
Mr.. Carmichael says that in case
the railroad companies meet this cut
rate that he will tie up the boats at
the springs and keep them in readi-
ness to put on again if the railroad
companies fail to keep faith with our
business men.
All that Mr.. Carmichael wants is a
reduction in freight rates, and he does
not ask to make a penny in his offer
except what he makes by reduction
in freight rates.
Messrs. D. E. McIver, H. B. Clark
son and Jake Brown were appointed
a committee to solicit contributions
for the building of the additional boat.
Mr.. Carmichael has placed his boat
on the line and it made the trip to
and from Jacksonville quicker than
he thought was possible, and the riv-
er just now is lower than it has ever
been in it's history.
In Ocala's destiny we at least be-
hold a. rift in the clouds that we be-
lieve will bear golden fruit.

THE TWO CONFLICTING SIDES
The German View
(By Hugo Won Kleist)

lBy hugo Won hl0lSIJ
To those who have studied the part
Japan has played in the affairs of the
world since 1901, it would seem that
Japan had in view special interests.
Germany has not been surprised at
the attitude taken by the Japanese
since the opening of European hos
tilities. A plan now seems afoot to
capture the German colonies in the
Pacific ocean.
The illimitable conceit and egotism
of japanese statesmen and of the en-
tire Japanese nation are Japan's rea-
son for entering the war and taking
part in it at the side of the greatest
of nations" Japan will reckon the
cost of what she is doing later on.
On September 16 dispatches were
published said to be official dispatch
es from Pekin, which stated that Eng
land had asked Japan to undertake
the protection of the Indian Empire;
Japan had in turn demanded free en-
igration into the English colonies in
the Pacific, free hand in China, and
a loan of two hundred million dollars,
all of which had been granted by Eng
land.
OF greater importance than the re-
suit of such a proceeding for Japan
are the consequences for England.
Without exception the English col
onies regarded the immigration of
Asiatics as calamity to be prevented
at all costs; they even extended eX-
clusion to the Hindus, although these
are under British rule, and Canada
recently passed a law directed against
the Hindus only. There is no doubt
therefore that the colonies will vio-
l"ntly oppose any measure of the
kind. And how will England, if she
admits the Japanese, contrive to ex-
clude the Hindus who are fighting
for her in Europe? How will she
force her colonies to admit Asiatics? :?
Japan is to have a free hand in
China. All the powers-the list is
headed by England-who guaranteed
China her integrity-what of them?
And what will the United States, with
interests in China and the Pacific,
say to all this? Does England think
she can with a proud gesture of the
hand silence that country??
Worst of all, however, is the prom
ised $200,0OO,000. Japan kept quiet
after her war with Russia solely be-
cause her finances were at low ebb.
What she will do when she gets hold
of such an enormous sum none can!
say.
