Henryetta, Okla, May p.
Daily Ardmoreite,
Ardmore, Oklahoma.

1t may be interesting to some of
the readers of The Ardmoreite to
know that there is so much sentiment
being aroused from the east to the
west side of the state.
On leaving Ardmore last Tuesday |
went directly by way of Oklahoma
City to Sayre in Beckham county, to
meet with the good roads boosters of
that part of the state.
/ met some one hundred and fifty
delegates from Louisiana to New Mex
leo, all planning for the east and west
roads, besides some local roads.
The people of Sayre are wide-awake
to the good roads movement. l was
there several months ago, and gave
them the plans to build six miles of
road through a deep sand route. They
at once adopted the plans of the
highway department, and built a
SAND clay TOdu.
1t required SIX hours with a good
team to haul twenty-five bushels of
wheat before they built the road, and
since its completion they haul, with
the same team in two hours, one hun
dred bushels of wheat.
They are going ahead and improv-
ing other roads leading out of their
city. The wheat and oat crop out
there is better than it has been for
ten or twelve years.
While at Sayre, | received a tele-
gram, calling me to Weleetka to at
tend a good roads banquet and smok-
er, so, travelling all night Wednesday
night, as | had Tuesday night, | was
with them.
There were 200 plates and an ele'
CANT banquet served by the lady work
ers of the town. Some eight or ten
speakers were on the program, and
seventeen automobiles were engaged
to take us out over the roads which
they have built under the plans fur,
nished by the state highway depart
ment, and built by the Kelly F. Glib
son Construction company. The state
highway engineer supervised every
inch of this road
The commissioners of Okfuskee

prevent STOMACH
WORMS IN SHEEP
Animals Should Be Given Treat
ment With Gasoline and
Moved to New Pastures.

(By w. L. BOYD, Assistant Veterinarian,
University Farm, St. Paul. Minn)
AS soon as possible after the lamb
ing period the old sheep should all re-
ceive a one or two-ounce, dose of gas
oline, followed by small dose Of ep-
som salts. They should then be turned
on a worm-free pasture, II possible.
In July the entire herd, including the
lambs, should be treated with gasoline
and turned into a new pasture. This
treatment should be repeated in No
vember, when the flock should again
be removed to new pastures. Pasture
rotation combined with drugs that are
injurious to the worms is the most
practical method of successfully COM
batting this worm. At University farm
pasture rotation has been practiced
SO successfully that few losses have
occurred from the effects Of this
worm.

HILL SELECTION TO
IMPROVE CORN CROP
Height and Strength of Stalk May
Be Considered as Well as
Ear Itself.
(RY A. d. WILSON.)


Hill selection Of seed Is urged py
every institution interested In the I'M
provement of corn. BY selecting corn
from the standing stalks In the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself. The height Of the ear
on the stalk and the strength OF the
stalk may both be considered, and
whether or not the ear grew on a stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks can be determined, while II one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
Early selection of seed corn from
the hill has many important advan'
tages over selection later In the sea
son. In the first place, 1t enables one
matured at the proper time, while II
the selection is deferred and weather
conditions continue favorable, some OF
the later maturing ears may be Sc
lected, because they are likely to be
larger and heavier.
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable, one cannot prof1tably select
them at the expense of maturity, be-
cause corn that will not mature Is
bound to be an Improbable crop
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger Of the corn being injured
by frost while 1t Is still damp In the
husk.
