WHAT TO BELIEVE

There is am honest desire extant among the
people of the state for information concerning
their public service They know something is
wrong but they are uncertain as to what they
can be justified in accepting as the truth If an
Independent or Republican paper presents certain
facts they are explained away on the grounds that
1t is just politics If Democratic politician
runs counter to the purposes of the administration
and points ont maieasancc, he is accused of being
n disappointed office seeker The seeker for the
truth is left in doubt as to what TO believe
In the series Of editorials now appearing in the
Daily Ardmorcitc the voter is given something to
which he can bring none of these objections This
series Of articles are, in a way the most rcmarkO
bile that have ever appeared in an Oklahoma pub
lcation and they are attracting attention in every
section of Oklahoma There is much speculation

tor of the Ardmorete, an ultra Democratic
publication, and assumes all responsibility but
there are many who believe that the author is none
other than Lee Cruce, ex-governor This, because
they show familiarity with the executive office,
and the mental processes Of the ex-governor
deemed impossible in anyone else
In addition to this, the articles are based on Of

SHEEP AND SOIL FERTILITY
Everything Possible Should Be Done
to Bring Ewes to Vigorous Con-
dtion at Mating Peeriod.

AS the country ages and the tertili-
ty of its fields becomes exhausted
it's appreciation of the sheep will in
crease. Early maturity is an i'm
portant quality to consider in select
ing sheep.
Whether you are keeping sheep for
pleasure or profit your desires will
be more fully met If your flock is OF
superior quality. A strong sheep does
not necessarily have to mean a large
one; in fact a majority of the strong
est sheep are medium in size
Every sheep owner should keep
purebred ram, but every man is not
qualified to keep purebred stock, Ev-
erything possible should be done to
bring the ewes to vigorous, flesh
forming condition at the mating pc
Rod Sheep are excellent farm clean
ers weed killers and fertilizers.
The man who desires large profits
from his flock should afford it the
best that good management will pro-
duce.

BEST LOCATION FOR GRAPES
Plant Two-Year-Old Vines on South.
ern, Eastern or Southeastern
Slope In Straight Rows.

ANY good farm land will grow
grapes. Plant on a gentle eastern,
southern or southeastern slope. If the
land is stiff clay it needs drainage.
Plant wo-year-old vines.
Buy direct from a reliable nursery
man-not of agents. Set the vines in
straight rows eight feet apart-the
vines eight feet apart In the row,
says a writer in Baltimore American.
Have the ground deeply plowed and
we'll pulverized, pillow out the rows, 60
ing twice in each row with the pillow
This will save hand labor. Set the
vines the same depth they grew in the
nursery, spread out the roots, cover
with good earth, press the earth, as
1t is put in, with the foot. After all
the earth is in, spread one forkful OF
long manure, rotted leaves or straw
around each vine. This mulch will
keep the round cool and moist.
Drive down a stout stake close to
each vine and train to one cane. Tie
the cane as it advances in growth to
the stake. When four feet in height,
nip off the top bud. Cultivate the
ground between the rows-the ground
must be mellow and free from weeds
and grass.
Never let the ground crust over and
become hard and dry, as this stops all
growth The best varieties for family
use are Concord, Niagara and Della
ware. For warm, sandy and gravelly
soils, add a few vines Of Catawba. 1t
is one of the best grapes for this class
of soils-it requires high culture.

CABBAGE STORING IS SIMPLE
cheapIy Constructed Bank or Hillside
Root Cellar Is Only Shelter
Needed-keep Place Cool.

(By X A. KIRKPATRICK. Minnesota
Experiment Station)
Cabbage storing is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage is small.
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or basement under al
most any farm building, is the only
storehouse necessary. This should not
be too dry and should be place
which could be kept at temperature
of about 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often &C.
complished by opening the doors to let
In the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder of the day. Later, of course,
the doors must be kept closed contin-
uously
In storing, most growers place the
heads in a cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden
ers have a better plan. They cut of
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market, but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up, leaving gangway every
third or fourth tier for air clrcula-
ton.
This work is not particularly diff
cult, and will certainly pay the grow
er well if it increases the selling price
of his production eight or tenfold. For
the last few years, it has been market
ed and harvested at from S. to $3.50
a ton. The purchaser has stored 1t
and sold it during the late winter for
$50 or $50 ton.
