IN THE OLD DAYS

In the beginning the idea prevailed
that dry farming was only a theory
that some young upstairs were want
ing to foist upon the people, and
that idea prevailed so strongly that
men who raised crops without irriga-
tion were ridiculed. 1t is only a few
years ago that a certain man in my
community, Mr.. d. Broadhead, was
served with subpoena to answer
for perjury because he testified in
court that he could raise crops un-
der dry farming methods. He was
actually put in jail until his bonds
men could release him. To show you
the progress that has been made in
1911 that man produced 36.47 bush
els of wheat per acre upon that very
land that was in question at that
time, and furthermore, during the
last year, tract of land very near
to this tract produced 81 bushels of
Turkey red wheat to the acre, and
that In a section where the rainfall
is limited to 1874 inches per annum
and during two years of that crop 1t
did not average quite that amount.

Review.

GROW EARLY CORN FOR FEED
Agricultural College Expert Suggests
Planting Quick Maturing Variety
For the Hogs and Cattle.

| Many farmers in Southeastern Kan
sas failed to produce corn In 1915 btA
cause of the excessive moisture. IN
der these conditions c. c. Cunning
ham, assistant professor of co-opera-
tive experiments in the Kansas State
Agricultural college, advises growing
quick maturing variety of corn for
early feed, especially il hogs are be-
ing maintained.
An early variety planted as soon as
conditions will permit will produce
corn suitable for feeding purposes
from three to five weeks before the
larger and heavier yielding varieties
of corn normally grown are ready to
feed.
While there is an abundance of corn
in most parts of the state, the chances
are that the price will be high during]
the midsummer Of 1916 because of the
shortage of corn of good quality in
the northern part of the corn belt.
The farmer who has to use corn DUR
ing this time probably will be able to
raise it cheaper than he can obtain It
on the market even though he plants
an early variety. which is not so pro-
ductive as those normally grown. Un-
der normal conditions the difference
in the July and August and the No
vember and! December price Of corn
is about 20 cents, which is sufficient
to offset considerably lower yield
for the early corn. When 1t is espezs
cially advisable to grow early corn&
that is, when a poor crop is followed
by large one, the difference in price
may be greater.

Oklahoma City.-July 4 will see the
opening of the interurban trolley line
between this city and Guthrie, 1t was
declared by John w. Shartel OF the
Oklahoma Railway Company. He
said:
1--WE were very much afraid that the
big railway strike that is being talked
of, strike that likely would affect the
entire country If actually brought
about, would prevent the delivery of
rails and other materials in time for
an early completion Of the construc-
tion work, but eevrything has cleared
up so far as our company is concerned.
CONSTRUCTION work is progressing
rapidly and there is NO doubt in my
mind that, unless something now un-
forseen occurs to prevent, the line
will be completed into Guthrie before
the end Of june"
Business conditions throughout the
state are such, and particularly in the
territory wherein extension of the
electric interurban lines may be ex-
pected sooner or later, that 1t gener-
ally is believed there will be little de-
lay in making certain extensions the
company has in contemplation.
Recent development Of the oil indus.
try in northern Oklahoma seems to
warrant extension Of the line north.
ward from Guthrie, and 1t is not un-
likely that an eastward line to Shaw
nee will be projected in the near
future. -'a
