To BETTER
CONDITIONS
Of TENANTRY
MEETING OF LAND OWNERS AND
RENTERS TO BE HELD AT TUL-
SA MARCH 27, TO CONSIDER
FARMING PROBLEMS.

Tulsa, Okla, March 20-The meet
of farm owners and tenants which
will be held in Tulsa, Marcn y, which
is the first effort of the kind ever
attempted in Oklahoma, is attracting
statewide attention
For number of years the com
plant has been heard in Tulsa county
that farm tenants are compelled in
many instances to live in buildings
which would not be good shelter
for live stock and that as to shelter
for stock and farm machinery, these
are of the crudest nature on many
farms, and as a consequence it has
been impossible to develop a firstclass
,arm tenantry and the owners of the
own short-sightedness
An effort will be made to get land
owners to pledge themselves to pro
vide suitable buildings and in turn
the tenants to agree to do all in their
power for the betterment of the vel
fare of the landlords.
A feature of the meeting will be
moving pictures comparing the splen-
did farm scenes of old Oklahoma with
the crude farm scenes which feature
Tulsa county along with other coun-
ties in the east half of the state.
The improvement OF farm buildings,
live stock, the school as social sen
ter, the improvement of seeds, the i'm
provement of trees and the control of
pests are subjects that will be dis
cussed. r. ID. Bentley, federal agricul.
tural agent for Oklahoma will be one
of the moving spirits of the meeting,
which promises to attract a large
crowd.

NEWLY GRADED
{ R D j n D 8
THESE IN A SHORT TIME MAY DO
MUCH TO TAKE THE PLACE OF
TREE AND SHRUBBERY Eff
FECTS, THE WORK OF YEARS.

Washington, ID. c., March 2O.-A
few well-chosen annual plants placed
on newly graded grounds will do much
10 take the place of trees and shrubs
until the latter may have time to
grow, according to the United States
department of agriculture's specialist.
IT Is often question in a new com
munity where slow-growing yegeta-
zion has not had an opportunity, as to
What may be done to make grounds
seem less bare. A lawn can be made
IN a few weeks anu its appearance
nay be greatly increased by the ad
iition of few well-chosen ANIMALS.
The specialist suggests as partic
ularly suited for this purpose the
following plants, which may be grown
in most parts of the United States.
Tall foliage plants-Castor beam
caladium, Gamma.
Tall Towering plants-Cosmos, scar
let sage, sunflowers.
Border plants s-Alternanthera, alys
sum, ageratum, coleus.
Medium tall annual Towering plants
--Geranium, California poppy (Esc
scholtzia), Zinnia, marigold, aster, pc
tunia, cockscomb, larkspur, nastur.
tium.
Climbing ANNALS CObaea scandens
moonflower, Japanese morning glory.
Varieties in color and contrast, in
height and general effect should be
studied in placing the plants
The general appearance of plants
on the home grounds or in the gar
den is more or less dependent upon
the condition of nearby lawns.
Lawns are the foundation of all
decorative planting. A good, well-kept
avn contributes more to the beauty
Of grounds than any other single fac
tor For this reason special attention
should be given to the grading culti-
vation and enriching of the area to be
devoted to the lawn. After good pre-
paration, come good seed and care.
The variety of soils which will be
encountered and the special treat
ments which they need render it pos
sible to make only the broadest gen.
eralizations here. For localities north
of st. Louis, Mo, and Richmond. Va,
lawns can be formed chiefly OF blue
grass, redtop and white clover. South
of this point Bermuda grass and st.
Augustine grass will have to be relied
upon chiefly, although it is said that
in some places alfalfa has been EN-.
ployed with good results.
The U. S department of agriculture
has a bulletin on Lawn Soils and
Lawns" (No. 49D, and a bulletin on
"Beautiiying The Home Grounds" (No. |

NEGRO |NVENTS
A WONDERFUL
COTTON PRESS
ON WHICH HE HAS OBTAINED
PATENT RESULT OF LONG
STUDY WILL REVOLUTiON-
lzE BUSINESS.

Muskogee, March 20.-J. II. Boddie,
a negro, living at Sixth street and
Southside boulevard, has invented
and patented an improved cotton
press. The device is built entirely
of steel and is absolutely fireproof.
1t can be operated by one man. while
the present contrivance for baling
cotton takes two and sometimes more
workers.
The machine is also capable of use
in a one-stOry building, whereas all
presses now must be installed in
two-story buildings. Boddie, who
worked on the plan for more than
three years before patenting it, de-
clares that it can be constructed
from third TO one half cheaper
than any press at present and will
save that much in cost of operation
1t is fed from the floor. which the
inventor says will be the means of
preventing many accidents.
Boddie is employed at present at
the Muskogee cotton compress. He
has lived in Muskogee ten years. A
large model of his patent will be ex-
hibited in the store of T. ]. Elliott,
negro merchant, on South Second
street, and it will also be displayed
at the Southern Commercial CON
gresS.

Three READINGS.

The resolution will have to be read
three times before it is placed on
final passage, which means it probab-
ly will come up for final consideration
in the house Monday, unless the rules
are suspended and consideration
granted before that time
With the session drawing to a close
and final adjournment only about two
days off, it is with some difficulty
that the house is managing to retain
enough members to transact bust
ness. A small attendance Friday
cuopled with the fact that many
members are leaving for their homes,
caused Speaker McCrory to sound
note of warning to the absentees Fri
day just before adjournment was
taken. He called attention to the
fact that there are yet several i'm
portant matters TO come up and he
gave notice that from now on no
member would be excused without
permission of the house. Those who
leave without PERMISSION, he said,
would be arrested by the sergeant at
arms and forced to attend. The
general appropriation bill is sche-
duIed to get back to the house Mon
day from the senate and unless some
drastic action is taken to compel at
tendance it is feared there will not
be enough members in the house to
pass the bill.
