CORK LEG BARS RECRUIT.
Oklahoma Farmer Walks Fifty Miles
In Effort to Enlist.


In Effort to Enlist.
Muskogee, Okla.-Believing that the
use of cork leg should not prevent
him from serving his country, John
Franklin walked more than fifty miles
from a farm near Wilburton to this
city to apply for enlistment in the Unit
ed States marine corps.
Franklin had spent two mouths plow-
ing the fields previous to his long walk
and supported himself on the hike by
working at odd Jobs along the way.
He surprised the marine corps medical
examiner by walking without the slight
est sign of lameness.
Although Franklin expressed the
opinion that his cork leg should be con-
sidered handy life preserver in case
of submarine attack, ne was not ac-
cepted.

RABBITS DESTROY WHEAT CROPS
CONTINUED From Page One)

Metropolis farmers want to secure
s2CCC or $3.50 to be used in extermi.
mating the rabbits and squirrels tina,
now infest the district by the thou
sands.
The wheat crop in the district on
about lC.CCO acres was the greatest in
the history OF the state according to
the men. Much OF it would yield thirty
bushels TO the acre.
The rabbits swarmed on 10 the field
and in ten days have eaten and de-
s,roycd fully seyenty-Gye per cent Of
the crops leaving only the wheat in
the center Of the field still standing
Horses and cattle have been turned
into many OF the fields now to eat what
| little OF the crops there is LETT and
unless the state and biological bureau
come to the aid Of the farmers this
fall and poison the rabbits many
ranches will move away is the claim Of
Mr.. Wiley and the others.
On the irrigated lands in the distyic,
the RABBITS have not done 50 much
damage but a large part OF the CROP
on these lands has been destroyed.
Mr.. Campbell displayed some
samples OF the dry farm wheat which
he claims is as good as any wheat
raised in the country. on the sample
from the dry farm area the whca, ha.
three grains in mesh and on one stoo
there were thirty stalks and fifteen @.
the heads contained three grains ir
mesh.
The farmers in that district hay,
demonstrated to their own satisfaction
that they can raise wheat" said Mr
Campbell, and unless the rabbit pes
is eliminated much Of the land now
under cultivation may be deserted
Rabbit fences do no good and the onl.
d way TO go about it is to poison tn
animals"
