Final Action.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 20
Whether or not the state can legally
collect taxes on the unrestricted
lands Of the Cherokee Indians, will
probably be decided by the supreme
court at an early date, arguments on
the case having been made and the
case submitted. The final action of
the court will be awaited with in
tcrcst.
The state contends, through the
attorney generals office, that il has
legal right to collect taxes on the
unrestricted land, on the ground
that as there is no obstacle I'm dis
posing Of the land there should be
nothing to prevent the collection Of
taxes. While the restrictions were
not removed the state could not and
did not try to tax lands as 1t was
we'll understood it could not be done.
When the restrictions were re
moved, however, the Indian had the
privilege to sell the land lmmed-
lately it came into the possession Of
another of course it became subject
TO taxation, as other lands. But the
state went on the theory that with
restrictions removed the land should
be taxed as if it had passed entirely

The requirements of a good dairy

location. 2. Adequate shelter and COM
Portable quarters for stock. 3. Special
storage room for feed. 4. Sanitary
construction and good ventilation,
such as would be required in any
other factory of human food. 5. Con-
venient arrangements requiring the
minimum amount of labor to do the
necessary work of feeding and clean
ing.

FEED CoTT0NSEED TO HOGS
Hoard's Dalryman Says No Uniformly
Successful Method of Feeding
Has Yet Been Found.

In response to the query What ex
perience have you had In feeding
cooked cottonseed to hogs and young
pigs?" Hoard's Dairyman makes the
following reply:
We have had no experience in feed
ing cooked cottonseed, nor do we re-
call any experimentation along this
line. No uniformly successful method
Of feeding cottonseed or cottonseed
meal to swine has yet been found. The
poisonous effect of cottonseed meal is
said to be due to its content OF pyro-
phosphoric acid, which is developed
when the seed is subjected to great
heat. Reasoning along this line we
would be inclined to believe that
cooked cottonseed would not prove
safe feed for pigs. However, the
Louisiana station states that Its ex.
periments do not uphold this theory,
and that the poisonous effect Of the
cottonseed is due to some other factor
whose virulence is decreased by heat
ing. The seed is held to be more pois.
onous than the meal. II is probably
safe to feed cottonseed meal when II
does not constitute more than one
NTH to a quarter Of the grain ration
and is fed at this rate for not more
than thirty days.

SUBS0ILING MAY BE HARMFUL
Increase In Yield Does Not Pay for
Work Done-6ad Practice to
Advocate, Says Expert.

(By o. o. CHURCHILL, Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent station)
The practice Of subsoiling Is receiv-
ing good many notices in the press
at this time. It is advocated par.
ticularly on tight soils and under
drought conditions.
A good many of the stations in diff.
ferent parts of the United States have
conducted many experiments to deter
mine the benefit derived from this
practice. Very seldom, IL ever, does
the increase in yield pay for the
work done, and we, therefore, advise
against subsoiling under most condi.
tons. In some cases subsoiling may
even be harmful.
We have been unable to find any rec.
ords indicating that subsoiling will
pay. It seems to us, therefore, to be
a bad practice to advocate, even II
In theory 1t does sound well.
Subsoiling is usually performed by
an implement made of a straight blade
with shoe on the bottom. This i'm
plement is run in the bottom OF the
furrow and follows Immediately after
an ordinary pillow. It does not turn
the soil, but merely loosens it 1t
takes as much power to pull the
srbsoil pillow as 1t does an ordinary
pillow.

BENEFICIAL ON SANDY SOILS

fRy f. s. sEIYERs.l

The capillary water that rises from
the subsurface reaches the highest
mark In soils that are fine grained
and consequently we find that in the
dry part of the summer when plants
are dependent upon capillarity for their
water supply. coarse-grained sands
become very dry. If these soils could
be pressed together so that the air
space between the separate grains
would become smaller, the capillary
water would rise higher Here the
roller may be used to advantage. 1t

grain and especially clover, to get
the soil in closer contact with the

CROPS FOR SUMMER SOILING
Oats and Canada Field Peas Are Best
to Follow cIover-Rloht Amount
to Feed Cows.

In his bulletin on green crops for
summer soiling ]. B. Lindsey Of the
Massachusetts station says that oats
and Canada field peas make the best
green crop to follow clover. Generally
1t is advisable to make three grow
ings, the first as early as possible In the
spring, the second and third Is and 80
days later.
One and one-half bushels Of each OF
the oats and peas is the usual guam.
tity to the acre. They both may be
sown broadcast at the same time after
the land is plowed and thoroughly
narrowed in with a wheel harrow, or
the peas may be first sown and four
or five days later the oats, the latter
being covered with a harrow. The
first sowing will be ready about June
rs, and the cutting should begin as
soon as the oats show the head.
The average yield from the second
and third sowings is likely to be
heavy, as the crop natures more
quickly during the warm weather.
Oats and peas will remain in condi-
tion to cut for ten or twelve days. The
average COW will consume from fifty
to eighty pounds daily until that feed
becomes tough. One-third Of an acre
will generally furnish ten cows with
sufficient green feed twelve days, This
Is figured on basis of from forty to
fifty pounds per day in the case OF
average sized cows, with ten pounds
OF hay.
Professor Lindsey does not consider
1t wise to feed more than this amount
of coarse green feeds daily, for the
reason that an excess produces an ex-
ceedingly laxative condition Of the
bowels Animals fed in excess Of nifty
pounds are likely to become notice
ably thin in flesh. In addition to the
hay and green fodder, he believes It
will usually prove economical to feed
from four to seven quarts Of grain
mixture composed Of one twenty-ffth
part Of bran and one part Of flour mid
dlings and gluten feed.

more rapidly. This may be prevented
by following the roller Immediately

surface lessons the blowing Of sand,
and also forms a dust mulch which
retards evaporation as well.
