WEEDS GROWING IN ORCHARD
Noxious Plants Allowed to Utilize
Much Of Moisture-Dry Spells
Evaporated Remainder.

CBy C. w. RAPP. Department of Horti-
culture. Oklahoma A. and NJ College,
Stillwater.)
During past years dry seasons have
spelled disaster for many of the fruit
growers of the state. Due to careless
methods Of farming. the orchards were
allowed to grow up In weeds. These
utilized much OF the moisture and the
long. dry spells evaporated most of the
rest. Fruit either dried up or fell or
was too small and bitter for any prac-
teal use. In many cases the trees
died.
The neglect during the one dry year
caused the loss of orchards that had
been built up during many years.
Thorough orchard cultivation is the
only successful method OF combating
the effects of a dry SPELL Good and
thorough tillage will keep down all
weeds and will form good dust
mulch. which will largely prevent
evaporation.

movement was successfully launched. The first

ders Of the Southern army was written by this
lady and appeared in the Confederate Veteran in
1902. The late Sumner A. Cunningham, editor

workers for the enterprise and wrote numberless
articles dealing with the subject The first

At a national meeting of the U. d. C. held at
Gulfport, Miss, in 1906, Shiloh monument direc-

Mrs. A. B. White Of Paris, Tenn, made d.
rector general of the entire work. This office
Mrs White has held ever since The successful
elimination of the work is largely due to her
enthusiasm and fine management.
A sister work of the Shiloh memorial was the
erection by the U. d. G. of the beautiful Con-
federate monument In Arlington cemetery few
years ago. The cost of both memorials was the
same $4,000. The unwilling of the Arlington
monument took thousands Of interested specta-
tors to the national cemetery from all parts of the
country. The address Of President Taft. on this
occasion, attracted the attention of the whole
country for its notably generous spirit and SYM
pathetic understanding of the attitude of the
Southern people toward their beloved dead who
fell in the storm of the sixties.
Shiloh Military park, which takes In about ten
acres of the battlefield, lies just Off Pittsburg
Landing on the Tennessee river and only few
miles from Corinth, Miss. The cemetery con-
tains more than hundred handsome monuments
erected by Northern states to the Federal dead.

vania and Indiana have spent more than $4,000
on monuments and markers. Well-kept gravel

| should be said, Is not recommended un-
| der any circumstances. When winter
rye is to be used for pasturage, 1t
should be sown early in September at
about four pecks per acre. When
grown for grain it should be seeded
| about the middle of October at about
three pecks per acre. The two varie-
ties that promise the best yields are
the Kansas and the Ivanov.
Oats is the only spring grain that
has proved successful. Next to win
ter wheat it is perhaps the best small
grain crop. While the yields are not
large, it has never failed entirely to
make grain. The highest yields have
been obtained from the rust-proof
group, which are really winter oats,
but in the Panhandle are grown from
spring seeding. The crop is usually
sown about March l and five pecks per
acre have given the best results. All
varieties shatter more or less and
should be harvested as soon as ripe.
Prose- may be sown in the latter part
Of May or In June at the rate of 20
pounds of seed per acre. This crop Is
harvested with q grain binder and
threshed the same as the other small
grains.
The other small grain crops now
grown in the Panhandle include win
ter barley, spring wheat, winter spelt
and winter emmer. None of these have
demonstrated superiority in any inn
portant respect over the four crops rec
commended in the bulletin and there
seems to be no good reason, therefore,
why they should be grown. In feeding
value emmer and spelt are similar TO
oats and are used for much the same
purpose. The straw, however, Is of lit
tie value and the yields of neither Of
these crops are as great as from the
better varieties of oats.
With all the small grain crops In this
section there Is considerable loss from
smut each year. The greater part Of
this loss can be prevented by treating
the seed with formaldehyde solution.
The different methods of treatment are
described in detail in Farmers Bulle

Rare Old Stuff From South
America
South
America

A rare collection of archaeological objects from
the department of lea, Peru. was recently pur-
chased by Mr.. A. j. Juilliard and presented to the
American museum. This collection represents the
results of numerous expeditions during the last
nine years by Mr.. Manuel Montero to the desert
regions to the south and west of lea. These visits
to the prehistoric burial grounds were his vaca-
tons and every object In the collection was exca-
waited by him. The<most notable objects are nine
large shawllike> garments covered with conven-
tional figures In embroidery. The beautiful color
schemes seen In these textiles make them JOY
to the artist and they will doubtless be copied Gag
erly by the numerous art students who make con-
slant use Of the American museum collections.
Besides these shawllike garments there are many
smaller pieces of cloth which are highly orna-
mented.
The metal work Of these ancient people Is rep
resented by objects in silver and "copper" There
several pairs Of large silver ear plugs, orna-
mented with embossed figures of birds. silver
tweezers also ornamented with raised bird figures,
and several shawl pins with finely executed figures
of birds and pumas the upper ends. The other OBJ
jects in the collection consist principally of the
women's workbaskets, with spindles and various
coored threads a loom with cloth in process of
weaving feather ornaments, Mtngs, musical instru-
ments and few choice pieces CT pottery.

MAKES fine RELISH
SUGGESTIONS FOR SERVING THE
HUMBLE CUCUMBER.
Few Vegetables Have the AdaptabIllty
Of This Friend Of the Housewife z
Common Way Of Preparing
ft4 II 10 Not the Best. fasgot

~
1t is true that few vegetables appear
as cool and refreshing eithereto eye or
palate as the humble cucumber, which
is growing more popular as a table
food each year, writes Mrs. Christine
Frederick In the Chicago Daily News.
In the heated season we come to de-
pend upon it largely as a salad, as 1t
is capable of infinite combinations, or
served alone, or with tomatoes, rad
fishes and other vegetables.
The overripe cucumber should not
be chosen, as then the seeds are too
large and the pulp coarse. Neither
should it be at all underripe, as then
1t Is bitter and the pulp acrid. In par
ing, take a generous skin, as the flesh
near the skin is always more or less
bitter. Unless the seeds are small they
should be discarded entirely, as they
are pure waste and do not do the body
any good, merely irritating the n
testines.
Instead of cutting the cucumber in
slices, it is sometimes preferable to d.
vide 1t into three sections and scoop
out the seeds, using a sharp knife with
curved blade like a grapefruit pre-
parer. This leaves solid chunk Of
flesh which can then be sliced or
chopped as desired without seeds.
Cucumbers should not be allowed to
stand in sailed water as this tough
ems the pulp. They are best If pared.
placed in only little clear water and
the bowl put into the refrigerator.
Although we use it chiefly as a
salad, there are many dishes for the
stewing or frying of cucumbers which
should not be despised. The large
dice Of the firm flesh can be slowly
stewed for about fifteen minutes with
very little water in which are a few
drops Of onion juice. The addition of
a little. cream, salt and pepper makes
this a very dainty dish.
1t can also be used fried like sum-
mer squash or egg plant. Cut in thick
slices, dust with salt and pepper, roll
In flour and saute In butter for about
20 minutes. Sometimes q delicate
onion sauce, parsley or other herbs
can be added.
Owing to its refreshing neutrality of
taste, the cucumber is par excellence
the salad to accompany fish. 1t also
combines excellently with dressing
made of sour cream. The common
way of preparing II with strong vine
gar, cut in conventional slices, Is by
far the poorest method, killing its deli
cate individual taste. A light oil
dressing or thin mayoLnaise is most
preferable.
When the skin Is glossy and not
spoiled by too many spines, most
decorative table effects can be secured
by utilizing the rind as well as the
pulp. The entire pulp may be scooped
out. leaving the cucumber lengthwise
and thus making a cucumber boat
into which can be stuffed the chopped
pulp, radishes and other salad mix
lures. Cut into three sections or two
crossways, 1t will appear like an ut.
tractive green pyramid or cup, in
which also any salad mixture can be
served. Combined with the red of the
radish, the yellow nasturtium flowers,
or the scarlet of the tomato or pimen-
to. the humble cucumber can enter
largely into decorative table scheme.

FIRE DEPT. IS!

About II 100 Monday the fire whistle
sounded and the fire laddies were
quick to respond, and the fire was
found to be in the big furniture store
of E. w. Gilbertson and adjoining the
fire hall. The fire being So near and
was noticed so quick that the wagon
was not taken out, but the fire com-
pany was right on the ground to help
e-tinguish the small blaze. The fire
was located from smoke. coming from
under the floor and was caused by the
furnace in the boiler room of the store.
It was quickly put out, but not before
considerable damage was done by
the smoke. The damage will not be
heavy and is fully protected by insur-
ance. Mr.. Gilbertson announces that
he will put on a fire sale o in order
to clean up the damaged stock for
what he can get.
