State Institution at saltwater Has
Charge of This Work.

In the Oklahoma boys and girls
agricultural clubs there is lively in
terest in the subject of kaffir, milo
and feterita growing. These clubs
are under direction Of the Agricul-
tural and Mechd1ical College at
saltwater. Prof. A. g. Hartenbow-
er has prepared bulletin for these
clubs in which he tells how to cul-
tivate the sorghum crops. He says
the cheapest and most efficient inn
plement from the time the crops
are three inches high until they
reach a height of seven inches is
the ordinary smoothing harrow. This
tool will conserve the moisture In
the soil and kill the weeds better
than any other implement. He ad-
vises that when plants have become
too large for cultivation with a har-
row a cultivator should be employ
ed. Kaffir, milo. and feterita should
be cultivated deep the first culti-
walton If the crops are to be culti-
waited deeply at all. Even after the
stradlerow cultivator can not be
used It is we'll to cultivate between
the rows. Cultivation holds the
moisture.

Wv 1HEN Toms father was put IN
w charge of some coal mines in
the West, and the family
moved into a town near an Indian
reservation, Tom was very much afraid.
he thought the Indians were still saw
ages and might sneak into the town by
night, kill all the white people and
burn their houses. His mother told
him that ne need not fear the Indians,
as they were civilized and we're not
allowed to leave the reservation except
at certain times. But Tom was still
doubtful. He had lived all his nine
years in an Eastern city and the sto-
ries he had read had led him to believe
all indians were cruel.
Il hate Indians" he said. "You
just wait They'll come in and kill all
of us some night, and then you'll be
sorry
One morning, when Tom had been
out at the mines to see his father, and
was returning 20 the little town along
a lonely road, he turned a corner and
suddenly came face 10 face with an
Indian boy OF about mis- own age. Toms
heart sank, for the Indian boy carried
a bow and some arrows with metal
tips.
ale will shoot me and take of my
scalp" thought Tom, but, instead OF
fixing an arrow in his bow, the little
Indian smiled and said: Hello"
Hello" answered Tom, very glad,
indeed, to note that the Indian was
friendly.
What's your name?' inquired the
little brown stranger.
"Ny names Thomas Marshall" Tom
replied
mine is White Eagle" said the Ind
ian boy. Il ran away"
Ran away from WHAT" asked Tom.

Tom, slightly alarmed by White Eagles

White Eagle replied, "for the white
