CAPON INDUSTRY A
PROFITABLE BUSINESS

Saltwater, Okla, May 9.-George
Wyatt, banker of Manitou, Oklaho-
ma, is a strong believer in the capon
industry, according to County Agent
w. A. Conner of Tiilman County, Ok
lahOma.
Last year about 200 capons were
raised in this community" writes the
county agent. The local buyer told
me he could have paid Csc per pound
in car load lots. We will try to get
car this year Three members of
the Poultry Association have already
promised to try 100 birds each, and
others will try smaller numbers"
MIR. Wyatt has been agitating the
matter of caponizing surplus roosters
for two or three years, says the county
agent, and the idea seems to be taking
hold. When it is remembered that ca
pons weigh considerably more than
roosters, it is easy to see that there is
good profit in them at Csc a pound.

BURGLARY AND
HOLD UP LAST
NIGHT SREC0RD
MEN GET OVER HUN
DRED DOLLARS AND A WATCH.
BURGLARS ENTER STORE AND
GET MERCHANDISE

A burglary and a hold-up was the
record for last night in the city and
in both instances there is little chance
to capture the perpetrators. Last night
was on his way to town he was held
up by couple of men near the Waters
Pierce oil tanks on the Santa Fe
tracks relieved of his watch and $115
in cash. One of the men pushed big
gun under his nose commanded him to
elevate his hands while his pal went
through his pockets. He was then told
to march down the track and not look
back which he did while the robbers
vanished.
An entrance was gained to the store
of Jesse Akers on Caddo street last
night, but owing to the nature of the
stock it was impossible to ascertain
just what was missing. This same
store was entered a short time ago
and several suits of clothes taken. En-
trance was gained by prying loose
bars from over rear window and
breaking the catch with Jimmy"
The officers are doing their best to
thoroughly police the town, but with
the limited number of men allowed
it is impossible to give the citizens
the protection that it seems is re-
quired.
Since the lid went on in Ragtown,
the idle gentry that infest all new min
ing camps or oil towns, have been
vending their way toward this city
and a crusade will probably be start
ed to keep them going, unless they can
produce pretty good evidence that they
have legitimate means of support.

Washington, D. c., May g.
President Wilson today called
out the militia of Texas, Arizo-
ma and New Mexico to deal
with the border situation.
Secretary Baker in a state
ment said that the Big Bend
outbreak has so far further en-
phasized the danger of similar
occurrences along the border
that the president called out
the militia of the three border
state, instructing them to report
to General Funston, who will
assign them to border stations.
Two additional regiments of
the regular infantry have been
directed to proceed to the bor-
der from other departments.
More Troops Asked For
Washington, D. c., May g.
Scott and Funston advised the
war department that more
troops are urgently needed
along the border as return of
the Big Bend raiders might be
expected. The number of
troops patrolling the border is
insufficient, Baker said, and
the new movements are merely
for the protection of the border.
The state militia is ordered
out under the Dick law, author
izing their service anywhere in
the United States, but they cam
not be used beyond the Amer
lean border.

DEPTH TO CULTIVATE CORN
Task Has Much to Do With Yield
Results Of Experiments Made at
North Dakota Station.

The depth at which corn is cult.
waited has a good deal to do with the
yield. A plant sends its roots as near
the surface as II can find moist soil.
When the cultivation is shallow. the
roots can come quite near the sur.
face without being disturbed. When
the cultivation is deep a number OF
the roots are cut and the plant re-
tarded.
At the North Dakota experiment
station trials have been made in cult
waiting corn shallow and deep. The
yields were lilo bushels more on
the shallow-cultivated The shallow
cultivation also saves work in cult
waiting or makes II possible to gel
over more field in a day. and the
weeds can be kept down as easily by
the shallow cultivation as by the deeI
cultivation, il done at the proper time
