Immediate fitting OF oat land for the
1918 wheat crop. where II is intended
to have wheat follow the oats, is rec

lege as necessary step, II II is de-
sired to have wheat yield beautifully.
Repeated demonstrations. the farm
crops men say, have proved that early
blowing for wheat materially increases
returns.
lnasmuch as large per cent of the
wheat planted this coming fall will be
planted on land from which oats have
been harvested, the work OF prepar-
ing this ground for wheat seeding can
not begin too soon" the department
declares. Men VINO have grown
wheat for years know the value OF ft-
ting the land Immediately. but In this
present emergency there are many
less experienced growers attracted by
high wheat prices, who are going for
this crop.
For these this information is Of
fered: After the crop is removed,
oat stubble land dries out rapidly and
soon becomes too dry for blowing un-
less rains occur. Flowing for wheat
should begin as soon as possible after
oats are harvested. II threshing and
other work is too pressing oat stubble
should be disced as soon as the crop
Is removed. and then plowed later. as

discing will cover the soils with a
loose mulch and prevent the rapid dry

disease was infectious and that start

A symptom OF the disease that was

MUST "CLEAN HOUSE"
State Charter Board Specifics Wichita
Oil Firms Shortcomings.

Before the Commercial Refining
company of Wichita receives approval
of it's promotion and extension pro-
iects, it must clean house. That was
the order of the state charter board,
following an all day session in which
it was shown that money used for pro-
motion purposes should be returned to
the treasury.
Chester /. Long appeared before the
board as attorney for the Wichita cor
poration. A number of stockholders
and officers of the company also APP
peared. Under the order of the board
the promoters must return to the
treasury of the company $4,000 in
stock or cash paid as bonus in the
purchase of the Salina Oil company
The books of the company must be
examined by men from the state bank
ing department. Securities held by
certain men associated with the COM
pany must be placed in escrow pend
ing a full and final investigation.
Pending complete investigation, the
banking department will name a dep
uty who will have charge of all bust
ness affairs and records of the COM
pany. The appointment of deputy
practically means the appointment of
a receiver, according to interpretations
in state house circles.
