THE GRAHAM FIELD

+. \. Walker of the Tradesmman's
State Bank OF Oklahoma City, Is here
today Mr.. Walker made a nice for
tune in the Headton field and also
made a nice sum of money in the
Gushing field. In speaking Of the Gra-
ham field which was discovered by
theWild Cat Jim well, Mr.. Walker
states that in his opinion it will be
a greater field than the one at Heald-
ton. The oil he says will be of
lower gravity but he bases his opin-
ion for greater production upon
the depth of the we'll the scarcity of
gas which indicates the main pool, the
gompactness OF the sand, the thick
ues, of the sand and the geological
condition. He says the geological con-
ditious are not more favorable any
where except in the north Cushing
field. He is of the opinion that from
Homer TO Graham, and possibly from
the Shaffer drilling at Foster clear
through TO Graham, a vast oil field will
be developed.

BUSINESS MEN COMPOSE
BOARD OF EDUCATION

Oklahoma City. May 2&.-The new
members of the state board OF edu-
cation who have been appointed by
Governor Williams are business men.
True, two OF them technically meet
the requirements of the statute that
requires that number TO be educators
having been engaged in teaching as
the law specifies. But. taken as a
whole, the board as now constituted
IS a business board. that has a broad
view of the states affairs, and which
may be considered TO be rather more
than ordinarily free from any bias
or prejudice that might exist by rea-
son of intimate acquaintance with
school men and women or concerns
interested in school supplies or school
matters aside from teaching.
This board is characteristic OF the
selections that have so far been made
for officials under the present admin
istration.

BOTH CHINA
AND JAPAN
IGNORE NOTE
TREATY BEING DRAFTED WITH
OUT REGARD TO AMERICAN
COMMUNICATION, MAY BE SIGN
ED THIS WEEK.

Pekin. China. May 23.-It has been
ascertained that some time after the
United States made representations to
Pekin and Toxic early in the spring, in
an effort to prevent any infringement
of its rights in China, the American
legation presented a note to the Chi
nese government requesting it to in
form the United States OF any under
standing into which it entered with
Japan. This note has been discussed
in the Chino-Japanese conferences
now under way, but although the Unit
ed States is believed to have sent a
similar communics to Toxic these
memoranda had not been brought up
by either nation.
The drafting of the new treaty be
tween Japan and China continues
without regard to the American com
munication. it being asserted that Chi
ma is unable tc oppose the wishes of
Japan in this regard. The Chinese
government is inclined to consider the
American note as matter OF record
70 be revived should the United States
find that the Chino.Japanese treaty
contlicted with its rights.
II IS understood that another pow
er has intimated to China that. on
account of the disturbed conditions
brough, about by the European war.
it would not be wise TO irritate or
alarm Japan by broaching the sub
iect OF Americas memorandum before
the conclusion of the treaty negotia-
tions The delay in drafting the trea-
~ is said to have been due to the fact
that the Japanese representatives wish
TO depart from the terms OF the Japan
ase ultimatum which China accepted.
The japanese, however, are now
showing willingness to revert to pre-
else requirements OF the ultimatum,
and the Chinese expect that the trea-
ty will be signed on Tuesday next
There probably will be secret articles,
but the statement is made on good
authority that these articles will not
be of importance.

Sole Prisoner ParoIed.

Elwood Armstrong, the sole prison
er in the Sussex county jail at George
town, Del, who recently complained
to Sheriff Jacob West that he was
lonely and afraid to remain in the
prison at night without company, will
no longer be afraid.
He was paroled for two years to
Charles S. richards of Georgetown,
formerly secretary of state, and
brother of Robert H Richards of
Wilmington, formerly attorney gen
eral. This was done after he had
confessed to the theft of, five dozen
eggs.
Accordingly, the Jail is now empty,
The turnkey has taken a vacation
and the sheriff does not have enough
to do to keep him busy.
Chickens are roosting in the cells,
some of which are modern steel af-
fairs, and the Jail yard will soon be
planted in early corn.

CARING FOR SPRING LITTERS
Considerable Attention Is Necessary,
but There Is Nothing Difficult
Connected With Task.

Pig feeding and pig care is mostly
made up of common sense matters
like seeing that the mother is proper
Iy fed, the youngsters sheltered as
they ought to be, and that they do not
get chilled during the first few days
Of their lives. This takes considerable
care and watching, but there is moth
ing about it that anyone cannot do.
Feeding the little pigs is a job that
falls to the mother for the first two
or three weeks of their lives. If she
is in vigorous health prior to the
coming of the pigs, this part Of the
job will take care Of itself. When the
pigs show an inclination to try to eat
when the SOW is fed then the hog
grower will have to bestir himself
and make ready to take care of their
growing appetites.
During the first days of the pigs
life he will have to be watched to see
that he does not get the life crushed
out Of him against the sides of the
pen and that ne does not wander out
side and freeze to death Properly
built pens and hog houses will take
care of this part of the job. Where
thu eOw is kept in a big hoghOuse her
pen should be so tightly built that the
little fellows cannot slip out into the
other pens. There ought to be a sort
of a fender around the walls of the
pen, so the pig cannot be caught
against the wall by the SOW.
When the weather is very cold,
some sort of an arrangement where
by the filters can come in a reason
ably warm house should be made. A
great many pigs are lost every winter
through exposure in bitterly cold
weather. Some hog raisers put arti-
fetal heat in their houses and keep
them warmed up for the first four or
five days after the litter comes. This
cannot be done on the average farm,
but a good warm place can be pro-
vided

Strange Death Message.

1t may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The
husband of a Paris woman violinist,
himself a musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His Chris
tian name was Remy. At parting he
told his wife: IF I go under I will
try to let you know directly before
the official news reaches you" She
scarcely played any music during his
absence. But the other day she took
up her violin, feeling impelled to play
one piece which he liked above all.
She opened his case, and two strings
of the violin suddenly snapped, the D
and the E. RE" and Mi" she at
once thought 1t was the warning he
had said he would give her. The next
day a telegram informed her that
her husband, Sergeant Remy, had
been killed in action.-Paris Core

CARE OF THE FLOWERS

Burn all ripened weed seeds.
Remove all roses before the petals
fall
Keep all seed pods off of plants in
tended for bloom.
Tree-peonies are gross feeders and
require deep, rich soil.
Encourage sturdy growth and pinch
off all struggling branches.
Too rich soil encourages growth at
the expense of bloom
Rambler roses should be trimmed
moderately as soon as done Towering.
If dry weather sets in, do not neg
lect to stir the soil and mulch.
This is important
Half the plants which refuse to
grow for amateurs are starved to
death, or killed by kindness.
Adjust the knives of the lawnmower
to cut within two inches of the roots
of the grass.
When watering plants, do not force
the water against the plant; let it fall
in the form of a shower
Do not neglect to mark the wild
flowers NOW which you wish to
transplant later in the border.
Stir in about the roots of the tea
roses a little finely powdered bone

support, and watch for insect pests.
Stake the tube roses, gladfoH. dab
las and other plants likely to be
blown down by the wind or broken

Lily and other bulbs are apt to split
up into small bulbs if the drainage is
clogged, or the soil kept too wet.
Keep the chrysanthemums in a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly. pinch into shape, prune and

To root an ivy geranium, make a

Give liquid manure only when the
ground is moist; the roots cannot alb

(By W. MILTON KELLY.)


The one great secret of having sue,
cess with the family vegetable garden
is to provide an abundance of plant
food in a readily available form. Sta
bic or barnyard manures are the best
fertilizers at all times.
Commercial plant-foods are excel
lent in their places, especially when
it is desired to force some of the early
varieties Of vegetables, but their use
requires that the soil be in a high
state of filth and that the gardener
have an expert knowledge of their
uses and functions.
To properly prepare a garden I be-
lieve in blowing under heavy appli-
cation Of manure in the fall, and then
in the spring narrowing in another
heavy coat of well-rotted manure
After putting on what we think is
enough we double the amount and the
chances are We will have it about
right.
Constant cultivation should be the
rule, for this will keep the soil in an
ideal condition, physically, for the
roots to grow in, besides keeping the
weeds in check. Allowing the weed
seeds to terminate and quickly de-
stroying them early in the season will
save a large amount of work during
the summer, besides conserving much
needed moisture.
Eliminate all of the old-fashioned
beds and plant everything in long
rows, so that most of the cultivation
can be done with a horse. There
need not be an unpleasant amount of
hand work if properly worked with a
horse and cultivator.
Leave plenty of room at the ends
for turning around with the horse
while cultivating.
Do not plan a larger garden than
you can keep clean and well titled. A
small garden will supply an abun,

dance of vegetables for a large fam
lily. After the soil has been we'll en-
riched and well fitted we are ready to
plant. If the plan has been we'll worked
out all that is necessary is to plant
each variety at the proper time in
the right place.
The family garden should be
planned to suit the needs of the fam
lily, and no two families will agree as
to the amount of each kind of vege-
tables TO grow. The time to plant
varies so largely with the locality
that ] will offer no advice as to dates
Of planting. The date also varies
with the season.
If we will study out the time it re-
Quires each crop to mature we may
be able to plan other crops to take
their place as soon as they are con-
sumed.
A few crops like blood beets, egg
plant, melons, onions, peppers, toma-
toes, and winter squash, require
whole season to mature. Other crops
like lettuce, radishes, early beets, sum-
mer squash and string beans will ma
ture early enough to allow other crops
to be grown on the same soil after
they are gone.
The great object in doing this in
the farmers garden is to keep the
soil from growing a rank growth of
weeds later in the season.
1t is not my purpose to advise which
varieties to grow. Study the seed
catalogues, talk with successful gar
deners in your own locality, and form
your own conclusions.
| should do more harm than good
by commencing varieties for all local
tiles. Get interested in the garden
early by sending for the various seed
catalogues and garden implement cat
alogues. Good seed means success,
and good garden implements are a
pleasure to handle.
