tivation had most to do with the sue
cess achieved.
Seed testing has received mncn at
tention this season. One method
farmers are employing consists Of an
old wooden shirt or grain sack cut
into eight-inch squares. Fifty seed
are counted out from a bushel. The
cloths are placed in boiling water
and then wrung out. One seed is
placed in the middle of square and
the cloth FOLDED over 1t into a pack,
age. The packages are placed in a
pail and covered and the pail Is
placed over the cookstove for seven
ty-two hours. If 90 per cent OF the
seed have terminated in that time
the test shows good seed.
Milo and feterita are cousins OF
Kaffir. They are grown exactly In
the same way and they are employed
in the same way as grain or feed
material for ensilage. Milo is slight
ly superior to Kaffir as drouth re-
sisting grain, and feterita is better
than milo in dry regions for dry sea-
sons. They are all employed most
successfully in the silo and the silo
is coming to be more and more i'm
portant on the average Oklahoma
farm. This is true especially of the
western part of the State, where feed
is big problem for the farmer. In
that section the dairy herd is COM
ing to be more popular than the
heavy strains and the cream checks
is big factor in paying the taxes
and the sinking fund that goes with
the interest on the farm loan.
Kaffir under Oklahoma conditions
should be planted from April 20 to
June is for dwarf varieties, while
the planting season for other kinds
is somewhat shorter. In New Mex
leo the crop should be planted from
May to June 15. Milo and feterita
should be planted in Oklahoma be-
tween May 10 and June 10, and in
New Mexico from May 10 to June
20. Texas Panhandle seasons are
the same as Oklahoma seasons for
the purposes Of this crop.
The argument in favor OF this sor-
ghum family for the farms Of the
Southwest is that growers of It are
certain to have grain and feed when
old fashioned corn crops fail. Wheth-
er the season be wet or dry, the Kaf-
fir and milo and feterita yield is
reasonably sure. With the grain and
silage that are produced the hogs
and cattle are made marketable and
there need be no sacrifice of breed
ing stock because of shortage of
feed. Dairy cattle can be fed on sill
age from the sorghums throughout
the year. If the pastures fail the
same recourse is available to the
man who has produced the drouth-
resisting crop that is becoming more
popular in this region every year.
Ten bushels of Kaffir or milo
have the same feeding value as nine
bushels of corn. While bushel of
corn has a slight advantage over a
bushel of Kaffir fer feeding. an acre
of Kaffir has such great advantage
in all parts OF Oklahoma over an
acre of corn that the wonder to a
man who is not growing either crop

DU-ARD GETS 1000
BARREL WELL
Company Composed Principally OF
Local Men Made Rich strike IN
Healdton Field Near Wilson
Thursday.


A thousand barrel gusier was
brought in by the Du-Ard Oil Com
pany in the Healdton fields Thurs
day afternoon. The Du-Ard Com
Ipany is composed Of Durant and
Ardmore men who short time ago
procured a sixty acre lease in this
field and started developments at
once. The company, eiated at the
success Of their first venture, will at
once sink another hole on the same
lease.
The well is located six miles north
west of Wilson. the new town on the
Ringing railroad and is in the edge
Of "Ragtown" as the oil town is
called.
The drill penetrated sand Wednes-
day which to the astonishment OF
the operators. the bed of sand prov
ed to be 200 feet thick, and after
the sand was drilled thru the we'll
filled up about 800 feet in the cas-
ing, following which in an attempt
to pull the casing to preserve it for
further drilling, the pay sand was
loosened releasing what appeared to
be a tremendous reservoir of gas
which spouted oil over the top OF the
derrick, making the operation OF
shooting the well with nitro-glyc-
crime unnecessary. Old oil men on
the ground opined that the well
would flow easily 1000 barrels every
"a hours.
The officers OF the Dv-Ard Oil
Company are as follows: Chas.
Van Weiss. Ardmore. President, o.
r. Nicholson, Durant, vice-presi-
dent, Forrest Johnson, Durant sec
retary, Frank Lewis, Durant, treas
urer, G. r. Allen, t. ]. Perkins and
several other local men are interest
ed in the company.
The well brought in Thursday is
situated in the northeast corner of
the sixty acre lease, half a mile
south Of the biggest gusher in the
field. known as the Westheimer-
Daube well, which is said to run
5000 barrels day.
The well is 1898 feet deep and the
pay sand is few feet over 200 feet
in thickness. which cinches the long
evity of the production of the well.
The company has lumber. mate
rial and machinery on the ground,
and will Immediately proceed to the
erection OF a derrick and drill in
Du.Ard No. 2. This will be about

You who desire to regain a youth

but valuable, prescriptions here given.
To make an effective wrinkle re-

lite and half-pint of witch hazel.

acts wonderfully on sagging facial
muscles; also the lotion possessing re-
markable astringent and tonic prop

To get rid of an aged, faded. freckled
or discolored complexion. buy an ounce
of common mercOlized wax at any
drug store and apply nightly as you
would cold cream, erasing this morn
ings with soap and water This will
slowly absorb the undesirable surface
skin, revealing the younger. brighter.
healthier skin underneath. There's
nothing to equal to this treatment as a

COST OF LIVING MADE BASIS OF
WAGE RAISE PLEA

That the cost of living has gone
up since the last general advance in
salaries was the plea of the Brother
hood of Engineers before the board
Of arbitration Wednesday.
President w. S. Carter, showing
evidence in book form, declared that:
Of Ill articles of food all except
eleven had Increased in price from
1 to 40 per cent.
Room rent for enginen1en away
from home had increased from
cents to rs cents a day.
Prices for meals had advanced
from 5 cents to 25 cents. -

a jolt into the railroad when Carter
in the morning session said that if
the employees could operate the rail-
roads there would be no financial
juggling and the employees would fare
better.

FIRE IN BIG EDISON PLANT
CAUSES MILLIONS IN LOSS

West Orange. NJ, Dec. 1o.-With
the exception of one structure, the
81 900, 900 plant of the Thomas Edi-
son company, which was supposed to
be the very last word in fireproof con-
struction, is today smoking mass of
ruin and debris.
Eleven of the fifteen stone and con-
crete buildings which composed one
section Of the great plant were gut
ted by fire.
OF the 1000 employees in the plant,
nearly 5000 were out of work today.
They will all be taken back as soon
as the buildings are rebuilt.
Five million dollars represents the
complete loss. By a cooperative in
surance plan, Edison. who owned the
property outright. saved $2,000.000.
That no loss of life resulted was at
tributed to the efficient system of fire
drill on which the inventor has al
ways laid great stress.

DuHSeye scores during the days that
followed, and soon proposal of mar
rage was on its way to the maiden in
the North Georgia town.
She duly deliberated the proposal,
and finally accepted. Spencer wrote
that he would come east at once, and
it was arranged that they should
meet at Savannah. The day of the
meeting was also set as the date of
the wedding.
On the date set a young woman
entered the Savannah hotel. An
hour later Spencer arrived, sought
out Assistant Manager Johnson, who
ushered him in to his bride in the
parlor, but not before Spencer had in
structed him to find a minister at
once.
Nobody knows what passed be-
tween Spencer and the young wom-
an. Only it is certain that two hearts
which were supposed to beat as one
struck somewhere on Cupid's bay,
and what promised to be very pretty
romance was rudely shattered and
wrecked.
