HOW TO HAVE GOOD ORCHARD
Far Enough Apart to Permit Gull
tivation and Fertilization.

Apple trees should be set 80 to 40
feet apart in uniform rows to facili-
tate cultivation, and keep well Guilt
waited and fortified, says a writer In
the Progressive Farmer. Peach,
plum and pear trees 20 to 80 feet
apart A shovelful of wood ashes at
the root Of each tree will keep insects
out of the roots, and are fine fertiliz-
ers. Peach trees can be set between
the apple trees in the rows and taken
out when the apple trees are to
IL years old and need the space. as
the peach is mainly short lived.
keep all my pillow land in winter
crops. crimson clover. rye, wheat and
vetch, oats and barley, etc., to con-
serve the moisture and humus and
prevent washing the orchard.
1t is useless to plant apple trees
near (one-eighth mile of cedar trees.
The cedar throws OF a spore that
falls on apple trees and produces rust.
Plant orchards. Nothing on a farm
will pay better than fruit. II planted
and cared for right. Nothing is more
helpful to our families; nothing more
so for our pockets. 1t is not game Of
chance; If played right. it surely wins.
but is failure II neglected.
No one now expects to raise good
crops of corn. cane or cotton. except
on land well prepared. well fortified
and we'll cultivated They usually
stick fruit tree in the ground and
leave 1t to live or die as chance may
direct; cultivate only when they want
to raise another crop on the land. No
crop pays better for culture and care.
and fruit crops never pay in the long
run without intelligent care.

A Better Summer School.

One of the defects of our State sys.
tenn of summer schools has been that
teachers have not always been benefit.

their attendance has only enabled them

tanning more pay. This summer, al
the six and ten weeks summer schools
which will be held at the State Normal
at Natchitoches, two improvements
will be found: First, the course OF
every student will be carefully advised
by faculty members with a view OF
Strengthening his scholarship where
most eeeded; secondly, normal credits
will be allowed for all work done in
courses comprised in the Normal curl
culum, and those credits will count to-
wards obtaining a normal diploma.
Those in attendance will therefore de-
rive double benefit. The summer
school pamphlets of the Normal School
explain the Importance of this plan.

Liquid Gold Oklahoma Oil Oppor-
tunity.

|
Oil is the greatest money maker and
Oklahoma is the greatest field in the
United States in the value of her Gil
productions, totaling over 81, 900, COO in
come weekly. Glenn Pool and other
Oklahoma fields made millionaires rap
idly when oil was selling at thirty-five
cents per barrel. Now the price is
more than double. Fortunes are accu-
mulated almost between the rising and
setting of the sun in the great mid Con-
tinent fed of Oklahoma
When one consiters that the State
produces more than 81 900, 600 week,
that wells can be drilled in from six to
twenty days, and often these wells pay
for themselves within a week after
drilling, that the owner of single
forty or eighty acres of land frequent
ly has an income of $500. 90 to $780, 90 "a
day and that stock bought in a company
at 81 or $40 a share is many times
worth 500 to $500 a share within a
year, ones brain reels at the thought.
And yet this is the history of many in
dividuals in the State of Oklahoma that
reads like some fairy tale. The gold
fields of California in their palmiest
days are left far in the rear; the great
gold awakening in Alaska is forgotten;
the diamond fields of Kimberley in
South Africa pale into insignificance.
Nothing in the history of civilized NAL
kind has aided man in accommodating
fortunes so rapidly as the oil and gas
interests of the great Mid-Continent
field in the State of Oklahoma.
Here even children of the white, In
dian and negro races who have had a
small piece of land left to them through
inheritance have frequently an income
of 500 to $500 per day from royalties,
while the Oil Company that is develop
ing their land is frequently making 100
per cent month. Language fails to
express the reality and even eye wit
nesses can hardly believe the marvellous
facts of production of oil.
A number Of strong companies have
been organized and are operating.
Among these is Il e Great Western Pc
troleum Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
incorporated under the laws of Onlaho-
ma for 81, 000, 600 with strolg direc-
torate OF business men, three of whom
are experienced and practical oil men,
which is now offering 10c, 900 shares of
their stock at the par value of $1.00,
stock to be sold in blocks of FIVE shares
and upward.
Those who desire to know something
more of the great Gil interests are in
vited to address B. j: Waugh, the
Stock Sales Manager of the Great
Western Petroleum Company, Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and make inqui les or get
the published literature of this company
giving its holdings and other facts and
figures as to the real condition of the
oil interests in the State of Oklahoma

SCRATCHING POST FOR HOGS
Successful Plan Adopted by Maryland
: Swine-6reeder--crude Petroleum
ls Fatal to All vernin.

If hog knew how to tell his wants
he would demand scratching post.
Such posts, in the opinion of many hog
growers. are not only source of great
comfort to hogs-the picture of hog
or pig scratching himself and softly
grunting his content Is worth a couple
OF hours of any mans time in fixing
up big post-but the post may more
over be made useful in Kidding the anil
mails of lice or scaly skin.
A successful Maryland hog grower
adopts this plan: Firmly plant hick.
DRY or oak post four inches in diameter
In the hog run. Coil Manila rope
around the post as high as hog stands
and staple 1t on securely. Then thor
oughly saturate the rope with crude
petroleum. and IT becomes an ideal
scratching post for hogs and pigs.
They rub up against 1t continually,
and oil is fatal to vermin. Kerosene
can be used. but 1t evaporates too rap
