Tanlac Has Helped Him More
Than Everything Else Put
Together, He Says.

Although farmers as a general rule
enjoy better health than their city
brothers, due to the fact. no doubt,
that they lead a life of activity and
spend most of their time in the open
air and sunshine, yet when spring
comes they frequently find themselves
incapacitated for work and many of
them are sufferers from a condition
commonly known as spring fever. A
tired, languid feeling. loss of appetite
and a general rundown condition of
the system are the common symptoms
of this trouble.
w. C. Haworth. a well-to-do and
highly respected farmer who resides
on r. F. ID. No. /, came in the Rexali
Drug Store at Tulsa a few days ago
and in an interesting conversation
told OF the benefits he has derived
from the use Of a few bottles of Tan
lac. Mr.. Haworth's statement follows:
Il had been troubled for about a
year with indigestion and was In a

trouble was caused by the gas on my
stomach and | noticed this especially

me but little If any good i saw from
the papers that other people were get

see what 1t would do for me. Well,
I'm now feeling like different man

been limited to the sandy soils in the
southern half of the state.
All of these forage crops are impor-
tant. Their production in large
amounts will provide feed for live
stock and thus release the grain which
may be needed for human food.
But the certain production of grain
to supplement corn and to take its
place is the vital consideration. Kafir,
milo and feterita are the crops which
will do it.
District Conditions.
The general experience of farmers
during the last five years shows that
the production of these grains for
maallet is not usually practicable in
northeastern, eastern, southeastern
and southern oklahoma. In these
districts, the order of preference
among these crops is clearly kafir,
milo fetcrita, based on their relative
ability to withstand damp weather af-
ter maturity. Here the acreage planted
to these crops should he at least one
half as much as of corn.
poses in northern and central Okla
homa and milo and feterita supple
mcnt it I'm producing grain for feed on
the farms. The acreage planted to
these crops here should at least equal
that planted to corn.
Farmers in northwestern, western
and southwestern Oklahoma and the
Texas Panhandle have learned thru
experience which of these crops are
most profitable on their own farms
and need not be urged to plant larger
acrcages to them than they have
planted to corn. They may be de-
pended upon to plant at least twice
as many acres to the kafir crops as
they have planted to corn.
Do 1t at Once.
The principal acreage should be
planted to kafir, milo and feterita at
the earliest dates which local expert
ence has shown to be likely to result
in getting n stand. They will then
be time left for replanting If condi-
tions have been unfavorable for the
early planting.
These crops should be planted thin
ly-in rows 3 y feet apart-not closer
than one grain to each inches in the
eastern third of the state, 2 inches
in the middle third, and is inches in
the western third.
They should be planted on land
which has been prepared and cult
waited before the planting is done and
should be given as frequent and as
clean cultivation as is given corn or
cotton.
DO these things well and there will
be feed raised in oklahoma in this
year Of war and possible drouth.

the chance Is very slender.
And "the government now has
plenty of things to do without having
to care for those who will not do for
themselves.

WHAT DR0UTH IS
TO THIS STATE
John Fields, Dean Of Farming
Experts in Oklahoma, Pens
a Pertinent Epistle.
AN APPEAL TO ALL FARMERS
Plenty of Feed if Total Area
Is Planted Within Six
Weeks to Right Seed.

The United States is at war with
Germany and Oklahoma is at war
with drouth.
The existing and possible effect Of
drouth in Oklahoma must be over
come if this state is to sustain it's own
people and produce a surplus to be
contributed toward the welfare of the
nation.
Both the war and the drouth may
soon terminate, but it is not safe to
assume that they will. 1t is raining
as l am writing this. And doubtless
there are spots along the trenches in
France where they are not shooting
today. Neither condition is a definite
indication Of what may happen In
July.
Oklahoma has had more experience
with drouth than the United States
has had with war. Dry weather has
lost many of its terrors for Oklahoma
farmers. They have learned to plant
crops adapted to their soils and farms
and to overcome difficulties as they
arise.
This is not the time for experiment.
ing. Every lick that is struck must
be made to count toward the GER
tainty Of production of food and feed.
Equal TO Corn.
The area planted to corn must be
reinforced with at least an equal area
planted to sure feed crops-kafir,
milo, feterita, cane. sudan grass, mill
let. cOwpeas and peanuts.
They must be planted as real crops.
whenever there is moisture enough to
give them a start during the next six
weeks-not as "catch" crops in June
and July after the grip of the summer
drouth Is on.
Not all of these crops are equally
adapted to all parts of the state but
every community has farmers with
experience in growing some of them
successfully and competent to give
definite directions Of local application.
These men should be consulted and
their advice should be followed.
Cane is the one crop which Is
grown in every county and with which
nearly all farmers have had some ex-
perience. The cost of seed may be
reduced and the certainty of produc-
ton assured by planting in rows for
cultivation instead of broadcasting or
drilling thickly.
Cowpeas are also of general adapta-
bility. Production will be increased
If seed of them is planted in rows at
the rate Of a peck to the acre instead
of planting thickly.
Sow Sudan Scarcely.
Sudan grass is another forage crop
which has given good results gem
orally. but the cost and scarcity OF

Of this nations entry into the

This is inevitable. No matter who

abount it right away What can you do,
and how shall you do it? Every man
and woman who has room in his yard
