WERE FROM OLD MISSOURI
Youths Dropped Into Tulsa on Freight
Train and Are Promptly Arrested.

They were from Missouri, according
to the yarn spun in police court yester-
day afternoon by three youths who
were apprehended by railroad officer
as they dropped off freight train in
the Frisco yards. They were bound
for Tulsa, they said, when the court
sought to learn whittier they were
headed.
Just what they intended doing in
Tulsa. the trio did not state. None of
them had trade, all having found il
necessary to resort to manual labor to
make both ends meet. In view of the
fact that the railroads are attempting
10 discourage the practice of riding
freight trains the court sought to aid
the movement all possible and assNsen
fine of S25 in each case.
The prisoners gave their names as
l.. Starks, Pat Brophy and Dewey
Mullnix.

OIL WELL CASING TO
BE KEPT WITHIN u. S.
Priority Board Expected to
Stop Shipments of All
Supplies Abroad.
World Washington Bureau,
7O1 MetroDolitau Bank Building

701 Metropolitan Bank Building.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Oll pro-
ducers will be in position to obtain
well casing as the result of an order
the government is expected shortly 10
announce, prohibiting the expectation
OF such material from the United
States. Considerable casing has been
going out of the country, much OF il
to Mexico, and production in the oil
fields has been retarded
The situation will be called TO the
attention Of the priority board, thru
which IL is hoped TO not only expedite
shipments Of casing, but other mate
rials necessary for drilling operations.
Gasoline production has been re-
ceiving attention of the council of ma
tional defense, and the necessity OF
greater crude production is shown in
the fact that the 1917 requirements
for this country and the allies was
placed at b5,000000 barrels Of
gasoline. For the first six months the
PRODUCTION was 100000 barrels below
the requirements.
The refinery capacity OF the coun-
try is regarded as able to meet the re-
quirement in gasoline, the total ca
pGcity being about one and Il quarter
million barrels, whereas the crude
production now Is fixed at less than
nine hundred thousand barrels

SOwS Rye and Crimson Clover for
Sheep.

live in the ridge country,
where the grass is not first class
especially so in the late fall and
early spring. To carry my sheep
through the year successfully it
is necessary to SOW a pasture
crop. For this purpose l use
rye and crimson clover, sowing
five pecks of rye and ten or
twelve pounds of crimson clover
per acre. prepare the land in
July or August when l can, and
SOW the seed from August 10 to
September Is. l will SOW as late
as the Goth or 25th if it is not
possible to sow earlier. In this
latter case | reduce the clover to
about eight or ten pounds per
acre and increase the rye to six
pecks. / like to have good land
for this mixture. and if l try to
manure this as fast as. | have
any to put on it. AS soon as
SOW the seed | clean out all sta
bles and spread this manure over
the thin land as far as it will go.
l keep this up as have manure
to put out, and the land can be
run over until time to plow the
crop under in late April or May.
The part get manfred early is
practically sure to stand the win
ter, even if it is sown late.
If | get the clover sown early
it is ready to pasture by the lat
ter part of October and is always
ready to pasture fairly early in
November. However, | can
keep my sheep on my meadows
through September and October
while the rams are with them
and do not need the pasture bad
ly until after Christmas, ordi-
narily. However, I frequently
turn on the rye and clover in
November and December for
awhile. In January. February,
March and April the pasture is
fine and will carry the sheep and
will carry the sheep and lambs
through these months with the
exception of some of the worst
spells of our bad winters. | &C

Plant Locust Trees.

The black locust is probably
the best plant to use for the rec
lamation of the lands worst
eroded, and the best thing to
plant on many steep slopes which
are bound to wash away if con-
tinued in cultivation, but other
plants are available. On thou
sands of acres Bermuda grass
will be the best thing to plant,
Thousands of smaller guIlies can
certainly be stopped, tens of
thousands of acres too steep or
too susceptible to washing for
profitable cultivation can certain
ly be saved, by the planting of
Bermuda. The Kudzu vine :also
promises to be valuable for this
purpose, and the planting of
honeysuckleS on many steep
banks is well worth while.
The farmers who have these
eroding lands should wake up to
the folly of permitting such de-
struction to continue and to the
profits to be had from stopping
it. They should set themselves
to stop every gully they have,
and, equally important, to inn
portant, to prevent the starting
of any new ones. This means
for the farmers of this part of
West Tennessee that they must
discontinue their present unwise
and utterly indefensible policy
of running the rows of their cul-
tivated crops up and down hill,
Just such foolish methods as
these are responsible for many
of the waste acres now in their
fields, and as long as they con-
tinue to pillow up and down the
slopes instead of. around them
they will continue to start new
gullies faster than they can stop
old ones. Southern Agricultur-
