The ultimatum to the crooks. it is said,

my mind, lies in the International aspect

Stack The Gram.

Many farmers are tempted to
thresh their wheat from the
shock this year. If all do this,
some of the wheat,must be a lon g
time in the shock, as it will be
late in the fall before all the
threshing will be done this year.
The longer the wheat stands in
the shock, the more likely it is to
be damaged by the weather. A
few rains falling upon wheat in
tba shock will be likely to make
it worth considerably less per
bushel than it would be if rain
did not fall upon it. A very
small part of this loss will pay
for stacking the wheat.
Why not continue the insur.
anca by stacking the grain after
1t is cut to insure it against dam
age by rain? One threshing
machine can be depended upon
for threshing only few hun
dred acres out of the shock.
Those who must wait more than
a few days for the machine are
taking too great a risk when
they can as well save their grain
by stacking, and then waiting
comfortably until such time as
the machine can come.
Another consideration of which
we should think is getting the
crop off the ground so that it may
be summer-plowed as soon as
possible. Under ordinary West
ern Oklahoma conditions, the
ground should be disced as soon
after the grain is cut as possible.
This will keep the soil in condi-
ton for plowing fora consider
able time longer than it would be
IL it was not disced. Cont.

Got 3 Votes.

Campaign stories are now be.
ing spun thick and fast and some
of them show how much depend
ance can be placed in the prom
ises of some voters.
A resident of this county was
once Q candidate for sheriff in
Texas. In a certain precinct he
received many promises of sup
port but when the the ballots
were counted, he actually re-
ceived three votes in the pre-
cinct.
In meeting the people of that
precinct afterward many said, d,'I
plunked in one for you" but he
couldn't tell who the liars were.
Finally he came across a man
whom he had helped out of a
mudhole while he was a candi-
date and this man said he took
his two hired men to the polls
and all three voted for this can
didate for his kindness. So he
believed this man and took all
the rest to be liars.
