WHY JAKE HAMON
IS FOR jim HARRIS
He Is to Be a Delegate at
Large to Chicago if His
Man Wins.


OKLAHOMA CITY, March 13.-
The question in the mind of NUM-
Der of the supporters OF Jim Harris
and also OF j. J. McGraw in the ma
tional committeemanship contest,
why congressional conventions were
not called in the Third district early.
has been cleared up. 1t has developed
that the reason for Jake lannon's ac-
tivity in behalf of Mr.. Harris is an
exchange for a promise that. in the
event Harris is in control of the
state convention, Mr.. lIamon is to be
delegate at large to the Chicago
convention. However, Mr.. Hamon
wishes very much to go to Chicago
and would not care to place his entire
chance on the state convention.
therefore had the committee In the
Third district call the congressional
convention after the state convention
meets with the understanding that in
the case of failure in the state con-
Vention, he is to have the support of
Jim Harris for delegate from the FIRST
district This program is being car
ried through.
Just how the friends OF Roy John
son of Armore will look upon this
deal is pretty well known among Re
! publcans close to the situation. They
| contend. and with good reason, that
| Jake llamon cannot get the support
| of the Carter county delegation which
| ordinarily would be necessary. But II
appears to be the determination OF
| Mr.. Hamon with the aid of Mr.. Har-
ris TO win the Ardmore delegation.
The Republicans of the state who
feel that the party has taken a long
step forward in the past three years
are up in arms over this arrangement
and point out that To recognize Jake
| IIamon would be a long step back
ward They also point out that his
connection with the Gore bribery
| case in which the seantor accused
Mr.. lamon of offering him $4,000
| bribe in return for certain consider
| tions, and also his connection with

DOUGLAS, AriZ.. March 13.-Be-

Gales is concentrating his available
troops, drawing them in from the

In addition to the troops more than
ten trains of supplies have been sent
south, including food and ammuni-

owner OF Indian land in the county.
The federal representative Will make
many recommendations to the IN
dams Of the need OF cultiVating their
lands. Will urge upon them the neeu
Of better buildings. the fencing OF
their land. and the great possibilities
that await them If they will turn
their attention to farming. The coun-
~ agricultural agent will also tell the
Indians Just what kind of crops can
best be raised after an analysis of the
soil on their lands. On the other hand
some of the finest farms in the coun-
tv are owned and cultivated by In
dians, but the federal government in
sending n representative here has In
mind one thing the cultivation Of
every foot of land owned by Indians
in the county.
Exempt from Taxation.
Forty per cent of the land in WASH
ington county is owned by Indians
and is exempt from taxation. only
five per cent of the lands Of the
county are under cultivation. Even
though but sixty per cent OF the lands
in the county are taxable, the as
sessed valuation Of Washington coun-
ty, the smallest in the state. is S2S,-
100000. But the restrictions are be-
ing removed from Indian lands and
it is the opinion Of many well in
formed men that within ten years
time all OF the restrictions will be re-
moved from Indian lands in this coun-
~. That will almost double the tax
able wealth OF the county. Probably
by that time the back to the farm
idea will be so firmly implanted in
every Indian both young and old,
they will he glad TO have the restric-
tions removed from their lands, for
by that time they will be competing
with the best farmers and stock
raisers in the county for the highest
honors OF raising the best crops and
the best grades OF stock.

Much depends upon the condition the
manure is In, obviously 1t would not be
worth as much with liquid portions lost
and open to rains and teaching - though
we'll cared for. Stable manure is worth
more this year than ordinarily, owing to
the scarcity Of potash and high prices OF
other chemicals. Ordinarily, > ton OF
good manure will carry 10 pounds nitro.
gen, seven pounds phosphoric acid and
10 pounds potash. II nitrogen Is fgur-
ed at 20 cents pound, this would give .
value of 81 for that element; the phos.
phoric acid Ut cents would give 50
cents, and cents for potash would be
50 cents, giving total OF $2.65 per ton.
Il takes from two to three tons manure
to make cord. The value OF the ma

Fertilizer Damages Crops.

During the summer Of 1915 several
fields of sweet corn and potatoes "stood
still'' early in the growing season. Many
fields contained missing hills. Investi-
CATION showed the damages due to ferti.
lizer "burning" the seeds and seed
pieces. Az late as October 10th nearly
half teaspoonful Of fertilizer was
found In bunch directly under each OF
several sweet corn stumps. In this field
q heavy application Of fertilizer had
been applied In the drill row.

Odd Tobacco Pipe Rorsr.

Travellers among the Sioux Indians
are much impressed with the perfect
smoothness Of the bore in their pipe
stems. Without the use Of q tool OF
any kind they make a perfect bore In
the twigs Of ash trees, which they use
for musical instruments and for pipes.
To accomplish this end they employ
the larvae Of a butterfly which inhabits
the ash tree. The Indians remove the
pith for about three inches from the
stick they wish bored. In,o this cavity
they place one Of the larvae OF
brown butterfly, which gradually eats
its way down through the pith until
the bore is completed. A little heat
applied to the wood expedites the work
Of the larvae. The Indians consider
both the tube made in this way ana
the larvae as sacred AZ their IDOLS
