HARROW Yo1R CORN AND COTTON
YOUNG PLANTS MAY BE GREATLY
BENEFITED.
Effects Of Most Carefully Prepared
Seed Bed May Be Lost II Not
Followed Up.

The beneficial effect OF we'll pre-
pared seed bed and the use Of good
seed may be wholly or partially Off
set by improper or insufficient cult
walton, is the advice Of crop special
lists Of the Department Of Agriculture.
Proper cultivation is an important
factor in crop production. Cultivation
should begin Immediately after plant
ing by running once or twice across
the rows with weeder or section
harrow. After the plants come up at
least two additional civilizations
should be given with either the weed
er or harrow in the case Of either
corn or cotton before the regular cul-
tivators are used. Run diagonally
across the rows with either of these
implements, using the section harrow
with the teeth slanted backward with
an angle of 45 degrees and repeat
week later at right angles with the
first cultivation.
The use OF the weeder or section
harrow is strongly advised for the
early cultivation OF corn, cotton and
many other crops. 1t is best to use
the weeder on very loose or sandy
soils while the section harrow is pre-
ferable on clay or buckshot soils.
This early cultivation with the weed
er or harrow destroys all young grass
and weeds and leaves the soil In fine
condition and the cotton ready for
chopping or thinning. The use Of the
section harrow for the early cultiva-
ton of corn and cotton in the South
is comparatively recent but is rapidly
becoming general. One Of the great
advantages in its use, in addition to
the excellent work done. is the extra
amount Of land that can be cultivated
In q given time.

A MOST WONDERFUL WHEAT YEAR

The hum OF the binder now marks
the beginning in south Oklahoma of
the harvest of what promises to be
one Of the largest wheat crops ever
produced in the state. Greater acre
age and much better condition at this
season Of the year than the average,
form the basis for the estimate.
According to the latest government
crop report, Oklahoma this year is de-
voting 2,465,OOO acres to the crop
which annually brings into Oklahoma
millions Of dollars and the estimates
Of the government experts place the
total crop at S5,5O0,OOO bushels. The
condition is SO percent as compared
to SO for last year at this time and 80,
the ten year average.
All over the state the wheat now is
ripe and the production is Of high
quality as we'll as extensive. Harvest
started about the first Of June In the
southern wheat counties and gradual
ly extends northward until the great
wheat counties Of Garfield, Woods
and Grant are reached, and then con-
tinues across the border into Kansas.
Reports from nearly every section
Of Oklahoma where wheat is produc-
ed, and this includes all counties ex-
cept about twenty in eastern and
southeastern Oklahoma, show an in
creased acreage over last year.
Should the average prices prevail
during the early marketing preiod,
wheat will bring into the pockets Of
the farmers approximately 100000, 900
before the first of August, at time
when cash is very much needed by
them.

PIG POINTERS.


The feeding and care are as i'm
portant as the breeding in producing
good hog. Plenty Of feed and good
care may make good hog out Of a
runt, but lack Of 1t will always make
a runt out of a good pig.
To make pork cheaply a permanent
pasture and forage crops must be
used.
Young pigs must have dry bed
and plenty Of sunshine.
Begin feeding the pig as soon as he
will eat, and keep him growing until
no is mature.
Always keep plenty Of clean, fresh
water where the hogs may drink at
any time.
Quarantine all newly purchased ami
mails for three weeks.
Never keep female for brood
SOW, no matter how we'll bred she may
be, If she will not produce more than
four strong pigs at litter.
The more milk SOW will give the
faster her pigs will grow.
Lice prevent hog from doing we'll.
Always keep mixture Of charcoal,
wood ashes, lime, sulphur, salt, and
copperas before the hogs.
Do not have hog lots next to high
ways, railroads, or streams. If your
neighbours hogs have cholera do not
allow anyone from his farm to visit
your farm, and especially your hog lot
or pens.
Do not keep pigeons or allow them
to alight on your premises.
Keep away crows and buzzards.

PURPOSE OF CIVIL LAW.

You can't legislate morality into
people, How often we hear this
said! Those who advance 1t as an
argument against the prohibition OF
the liquor traffic should remember
that civil laws are not enacted pri
marily for the purpose OF making men
moral or righteous, but for the pro-
lection of society The restrictive
idea is secondary. merely incidental
to the main idea of securing to all
citizens their inalienable rights to life
liberty and happiness.
We believe there is better way tc
govern even the beast than by tn,
rod and the lash, but no one will sa,
that in the tanning and the training o..
an animal restraint of some sort is no
necessary. Likewise, tho employer
who is so inhuman, so british In hi
instincts, as to sacrifice the happi
ness and even the lives of his EN-
ployes to his own Unsuitable greed
must be restrained. The man who
preys upon his fellows by ensnarinl
them I'm the meshes OF the drink de.

drain the life blood OF nation, must
BIO denied the opportunity to thus
wreck the happiness of homes and i'm
pede the prosperity of the people
The power to destroy must be taken
away. not as a punishment to the de
stroyer. but as protection to society
To put 1t out of the power of one
man TO injure another is as much an
act OF kindness TO the one as TO the
other. 1t ia said that no thinking man
can run saloon and be happy. Ger
tainly no thinking man can vote tc
license the saloon and have an easy
mind, Therefore, prohibition of thu
traffic is good for the would-be liquo,
seller, and good for tho would-be Ii
cense voter: good for the taxpayer
good for all legitimate business, goor

Why He Goes To Church.

Apropos of January 25 having
been designated in many places as
GO to Church Sunday" the follow
ing by Hon. Claude Weaver of Okla
homa, will be interesting:
| go to church because find
there that peace which De Quincy
described as a resting from human
labors, Sabbath of repose, a
respite granted from the secret
burdens of the heart, as if / stood
at distance and aloof from the
uproar of life; as if the tumult
and fever of strife were suspended;
as if there brooded over me dove
like and halcyon calm.
| go to church because | love
the music that hear there, the
mighty roll of the great organ, min
gled with the marvellous symphonies
of that divine stringed instrument
the human voice, untwisting all the
chains that tie the hidden soul of
harmony.
l go to church because l delight
to hear the teachings of the preach
er, whose soul is dedicated to God.
whose field is as wide as Gods uni
verse, whose theme is the destiny of
man, and whose words are the Or
acles of Fate.
go TO church because "thc day
is dark and am far from home,"
and because the church is the polar
star to light my pathway in the ray
less night.
go to church because til G
church ministers not only to the spir-
itual, but also to the material needs
of life, and because it is there that
the charities that soothe and heal and
bless are scattered at the feet of man
like flowers.
go to church because in that at
mosphere vice and crime, .wither and
die.
go to church because | near the
teachings of the philosophy of Jesus
the Incompatible man; and if you
say His teachings is philosophy and
not religion and that He was a man
and not god, then the philosophy
of that man has redeemed the world
from savagery and blessed mankind
with Christian civilization, and, to
my mind, it is thing worth while
to hear.
go to church because there 1 find
consolation and hope; because 1 sec
there the dawn and not the sunset
and it is better for man, if the hope is
baseless, and the vision but an elu.
sive phantom, to cherish dream sc
glorious and beautiful than to be

How 10 Use G'aitN.

Faith is largely notifying.
If one in whom we have faith
offers to do something for us
which we cannot do ourselves,
we show our faith in him by
letting him do it and refraining
from attempting to do it our
selves. There is no effort in
letting another person do some
thing for us. The moment we
put forth effort, we cease, by
Just so much, to trust in the
'sufliciency of another's effort
and power. And so, in a sense,
the moment we try to have
faith, we cease to have faith.
If we make an effort to cease
effort, we are not ceasing eff
fort. Christ says to us, BE
lieve in me-. He wants us to
recognize that he gives us HIM
self, his life, and will furnish us
with all our life, our strength,
our power, even our activities.
When faith takes Christ COM
pletely at his word, faith stops
it's own trying, in order to let
Christ do all. SO in our every
spiritual need, whether in con-
quering the power of sin or in
securing any other of the mira
Gle results of the life of God,
we must stop trying to do what
we cannot do. in order to let
Christ do what only he can do.
The active part of faith, thro'
It all, is a positive, vigorous be-
lief that Christ is doing just
what he has promised to do, and
that he is doingit now. How
much easier and richer life be-
comes when we lei our own him
dering efforts cease!--Sunday
School Times.
