The Tulsa Railway company must
discontinue construction work on the
now loop to Bellview school house, ac-
cording to an ultimatum issued yester-
day morning by city Attorney j. h.
Rasmoy, who holds that street car
franchise does not give the company
the right to extend their lines on the
streets in question The streets were
not in the city at the time the fran
cihse was granted and for that reason,
says the city attorney, they have no
right to branch their lines on streets
cher than those specified in the fran
ChiSe.
The street railroad people have dis
trtuted ties and rails over the pro-
posed route from Third street ana
Madison. If construction work is not
discontinued court proceedings will

ments are being made with this grass
and arrangements have been made SO
that sufficient seed will be grown for
all demands.
Rhodes grass is continuing to show
its high value for Florida and Gulf
coast conditions. American-grown
seed will be produced to meet the
continued growing demands.
vetches.
Interest In the cultivation of
vetches, especially the hairy vetch,
continues to increase, and there is
probably now greater acreage grown
than ever before. In many parts OF
the United States seed is now being
grown successfully. One difficulty in
the production of hairy-vetch seed,
which ordinarily must be grown with
a small grain crop, has been the sep
aration of the seeds
By means Of the spiral seed sepa-
rator. this can easily be accomplished,
and these machines are now available
to American farmers. There is rea-
son to believe that within the near
future sufficient American seed will
be raised to meet the demands and
probably reduce the price of seed
much below what is at present asked
The department has recently intro
duced the purple vetch, which is
especially promising, inasmuch as it
yields as much hay and more seed
per acre than the common vetch.
cowpeas.
The cowpea investigation, especial.
ly in breeding, has resulted in the
production of a considerable number
of exceedingly promising new varie-
ties. some of which, especially from
the view point of seed production. are
apparently superior to any of the
standard varieties.
Alfalfa.
The breeding of improved varieties
Of alfalfa, especially hardy and
drough-enduring strains, has devel
oped new possibilities through the
finding of forms of yellow-aowered
Medicago falcata that produce new
plants from true lateral roots. Ger
tain of the forms that possess this
character are good forage types, and
it is hoped that by hybridizing them
with selected plants Of common al
falfa an extremely vigorous strain
will result.
As result of the recent introduc
ton Of new roots of seed of Peruvian
alfalfa. the chances Of establishing
this variety in the southwest are be
coming extremely favorable. Peruvian
