PLOW EARLY FOR WHEAT

AS soon as possible after the wheat
is harvested the land should be
plowed in order to stop all weed
growth. which uses up the moisture,
and TO prepare the land to absorb
and retain all the moisture that
should fall.
An experiment conducted at the
Oklahoma Experiment Station on
seedbed preparation for wheat
showed the following results: over
a period of five years, July plowing
gave an average OF FIVE bushels more
per acre over September plowing, and
7-inch plowing gave an average OF
six pushels per acre over plats that
were disked.
Break your land At depth OF
about seven inches as soon after the
harvest as possible. Should you not
have time to break the land just after
harpesting your small grains. disk
or list and break later. The surface
should be broken and weeds killed.

NAVE RErUBIaCAN PARTY
IN OKLAHOMA


The 1915 session laws provide in
substance, that no candidate shall
have his name placed on the ofiicial
ballot at the general election. unless
At the preceding primary election all
candidates for that Office shall re-
eeive at least 81 per cent OF the
party votes as cast at the preceding
gubernatorial election. That applies
to every public once in the state
above township and minor Offices.
and means that unless 81 per cent Of
such Republican votes are cast at the
primary election August Q, 1913. the
Republican party will become ex-
tinct.
Good government demands the ex-
istence OF at least two great political
parties, that each may criticize and
checkmate the other. The Republic
an party in this state Ia facing the
greatest crisis known to its history.
Something over 100000 Republican
votes were cast at the last guber-
Material election. which means that
as. party we must poll. and have
counted, $4,000 votes at the primary
election August 9. 1918. or the Re-
publican party Will be q political
corpse.
When did we have a more popular
candidate for governor than was
John Field? And do you remember
that he only polled $1,000 votes at
the primary! Is that not getting
dangerously close?
There are about $4,000 Oklahoma
Republican voters In the military
service of our country, many Of whom
will be in France August @, 1918.
And there are number OF counties
in the eastern part Of the state that
will have no Republican candidates
for the nomination this year. SO no
Republican votes will be needed In
such counties and the death knell OF
our party will be rung this fall un-
less each Republican casts his ballot
at the primary election August g.
1918, and takes II on himself to see
that every other Republican does the
same thing.
DO not be misled by anyone's prop
Agande that this law has been re-
pealed, and do not commit political
suicide by failing to vote. Every
good Republican should not only cast
his ballot at said primary, but see
that every other Republican does the
same thing on August 6. 1918. Dc
not forget the date. That will be Q
very busy time. but we cannot afford
not to take the time to go to the
polls.

GRATEFUL FOR SPLENDID WORK

The following letter IL self
explanatory. II voices the apprecia-
tion of division headquarters for the
splendid work OF Beaver City Chap
ter. A. r. c., in its second war fund
campaign:
Mr.. j. w. steffen. War Fund Cam
paign Manager, A. r. C., Beaver
County Chapter, LaKemp, Okla.
Dear Mr.. Steffen: am advised
that the Red Cross chapter OF which
you were war fund campaign man
ager. has reported to date subscrip-
tions Of $25,769.20, which Is con-
siderably In excess OF Its quota Of
$4,000.
II should be a source of great sat
isfaction to you to feel that due en-
tirely to the efforts of yourself and
the other war fund campaign man
ayers in your state. II has so largely
exceeded its quota Of 81 100000 by
reporting total subscriptions of $2,-
272,112.04 and that the southwest
ern division with quota OF ST.
250, 900, has to date reported sub
scriptiOns of $16.8O1.985.83.
I am very grateful to you for your
efforts in behalf OF the Red Cross.
We are fortunate, indeed, in having
been able to enlist the services OF
men OF affairs like yourself who
were willing to devote their time
and energy toward the second war
fund campaign. Please convey to
the men and women who have so
ably assisted you, my sincere thanks
for the splendid work which they
have accomplished.
Yours very truly.

ONE MILLION NEW
WOMEN VOTERS IN THIS
YEARS PRIMARIES

In view OF the fall elections, the
National American Woman's Suffrage
association is calling attention to the
facts
That this year in three states.
women will vote for the first time.
That in New York they will vote
in both primaries and fall elections !;
In Arkansas and Texas In primaries
only.
That in Texas and Arkansas
women have voluntarily accepted
the burden of the poll tax, having
included the duty of poll tax in the
statute law giving them the right OF
primary suffrage. For the year 1918
only, Texas women are exempt from
poll tax.
That In Arkansas 10000 women
have already enrolled, paid their poll
tax and voted at the primary cleo
tions.
That In Texas 100000 women
have enrolled for the primaries of
July 27th. In some Texas towns
more women than men are enrolled.
That In New York state in spite
OF the fact that many women were
reluctant to enroll for party pri-
maries until after they had given
themselves more time to study the
parties; the latest enrolment figures
for the state show about $4,000 en-
rolled. to be exact 679,61S.
That. all told. in this. their first
year of enfranchisement. while the
machinery OF voting and the details
of party organization are new to
them, 1,079.61S women will take
part in the party primaries of three
states.

Arizona men Legislators seem to
like having women colleagues in the
legislature Of their state, now that
they have got used to them. They
told the three women representatives
of the Arizona house just how proud
they we're OF their records, and they
put flowers on their desks on the last
day of the special session of the
Third legislature this June. They
also gave hearty praise to the women
for the kind of legislation they had

seems to meet with approval
whether II was done by man or by
a woman. And apparently the
women's legislation was we'll done.

Cochise and one from Santa Cruz
| One OF these women had put through
child welfare bill, another a min

young women workers, another had
showed up educational standards for

which, presented by Mrs. George

HINT FOR LATE GARDENER
How Loss of Seeding Plants Through
"Damping of" May Be Avoided
With Little Trouble.

Many millions of seeding plants are
lost annually by what is generally
termed "damping Off" It may be OBJ
served in the sudden collapse of the
little plants at the neck or ground
level, and usually occurs wrfle the
seedlings are still in the seed pan,
though it also may happen even after
they have been transplanted. 1t Is
due to the work of a minute fungus,
and brought ABOUT by excessive mois-
Tture in the soil or atmosphere, a condi.
ton the fungus quickly takes advant-
age Of to get in its deadly work.
To prevent such conditions, the soil
must be sufficiently porous 81 that wa
ter will soak into it quickly. Water is
given only when needful, and so early
in the day that the foliage of all tender
seedlings will be thoroughly dry before
might ventilation to keep the air pure
|also will tend to ward off disease.
"Damping off" also may be checked
by placing a thin layer Of sharp sand
over the surface of the soil, or a light
busting of flowers of sulphur also may
|combat. the evil.
Guard against sowing seed too thick
ly, for, should the majority terminate,
the seedlings will be so close to one
another that they will not dry out
readily.-Country Gentleman.
