exhibit was awarded first prize at the
Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklaho'
ma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa
county fair. What this ambitious lit
tie colored boy accomplished has
brought him into favorable notice of
the state board OF agriculture.
Dewey Green resides with his father
on farm near jerks, in the lowlands
of the Arkansas river, which cannot
be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton.
He was enrolled in the Tulsa County
Boys Cotton club early last year.
When II was announced that Dewey
had decided to join the club the white
boys in the club were inclined to view
the advent of Negro boy with dis
dain. You won't get anywhere in a
contest with the white boys" was the
fling one boy took at Deewy.

more money than did his father on
forty acres of the same land adjoining
Not only was the yield unusually
heavy, but in point of lint. number Of

graded anything shown in the three
fairs
Dewey says he accomplished what
he did by following out the instruc.
tions Of the department of agriculture
to the letter and by refusing to seek
the shade when the torrid sun of July
and August took all Of the play" out
of experimental farming.
Dewey has enrolled in the Boys
Corn club Of Tulsa county and will 20
in for corn this year, as the disastrous
luck attending the marketing of cot
ton owing to the war will have a ten
dency to eliminate cotton from the
1915 crops in Tulsa county.
If anything, the Negro farmers OF
Tulsa county take more interest in the
efforts of the government to promote
scientific farming than the whites
| They attend agricultural meetings and
listen with rapt attention to all that il
said. Many Negro farmers are going
in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who
until two years ago had never raised

 After conference with his counsel he returned and pleaded guilty to the assault charge and guilty to the charge of getting liquor for the man on the blacklist, Luther Warren a, rel attve of his. on Saturday, but not guilty to procuring liquor for the same man on Friday.
 Judge M. H. Geissler sentenced the constable to serve 60 days in Jail on the assault charge and fined him $25 on the other count-procuring the li- quor. With the cost of prosecution the penalties inflicted are sufficient to keep MT. Warren in jail about 100 days. He was taken to Brooklyn dur ing the day.
 Kilday and Luther Warren were ar rested Saturday night for intodcation and information gleaned from them led to the arrest of the constable. Kill days face was covered with dried blood when he was taken and 1t was afterwards explained that the blood came from a wound inflicted when the constable struck him with sword.
 Constable Warren later explained that the striking of Filday was due to some threats previously made against him by Kilday.
 Counsel for Constable Warren made a statement to the court relative to the case. and Prosecuting Attorney A.
