OF DEEP HISTORIC INTEREST
Possibility Of Recovery OF King Johns
Lost Treasures Causes Some
Stir in England.

The idea Of making use of the cleo
trlc apparatus used in locating ores to
discover King Johns lost treasure has
been put forward by Capt Hugh Pol
lard In an Fnglish poper. He recalls
the fact that, several years ago, Sir
william Hope Informed the Society OF
Antiquaries that the ford of the Wash
where the treasure was lost in the
thirteenth century was reclaimed in
the seventeenth. and that the land lies
between Walpole and Long Sutton in
Lincolnshire. Now this treasure Of
King Johns is of extraordinary inter-
est. Not only did it contain loot from
half the castles and churches of Eng
land and Johns own jewels, but the
crown of King Alfred as well. At the
close of the seventeenth century King
Alfred's Jewel, now in the Ashmolean
museum, was found some distance
north OF the site of Athelney abbey in
Somersetshire. The gem is made of
pure gold and contains colored stones
covered by thick crystal through
which Is seen the miniature OF a man
clothed in a green Saxon tunic. 1t is
formed of enameled mosaic on blue
ground. The man is seated on throne
with a crown on his head and holds a
heur-de-lis in each hand Round the
edge are the words in Anglo Saxon:
"Alfred had me worked" Some say
the figure represents Alfred himself. !
II So perhaps the crown which the
gem depicts is the one which the ele-
ments wrenched from the unworthy |
hands of John all that long time ago,
and the one which. it is to be hoped,

The Importance Of organization and
cooperation among farmers was the
point stressed at The farm congress
which convened in saltwater last
week, according to J, w, Owens, the
county agent, who attended. AS in
the meetings of the farm councils
held over the stale, farmers were
urged to unite in an effort TO obtain
better prices and better pay for their
labor

from all parts of Oklahoma were Wis

FARME RS MUST

County Agent Owens Says That Soil
Is Depleted by Indifferent Tillers
and Renters Who Move Farm
TO Farm.

Farmers Of Grady county deplete the
soil by resorting to the old ethods'
and failure to rotate crops, declares
J. w. Owens, county farm agent.
The self-depletion is being accom-
plished by srNo classes of farmers
the renters, who move from year to
year, and the Indifferent tillers.
I'VE can't jump on the renter,
though" Mr.. owen says. ITS not
to be checked against him that he
makes as much off Of a farm in his
season there as is possible. It's more
to his credit than anything else. The
system is what is wrong
Owners of property in many in
stances We're Just as careless of their
soils fertility. These men need to be

before their property becomes worth
less for cultivation"

Back to Old Days.

And it all checks back to pioneer
days, when the settler used up" a
piece of ground, then vacated it and
took up another, Mr. Owens declares.
In the past. settlers have planted
the samo crops year after year until
their soil was worn out, and then
they have taken up new farms. This
cannot be continued, Mr. Owens says
because the unsettled land is becom-
ing smaller in extent all the time
Now there is very little left, and it
is not much good for cultivation.
"'rhe problem is a serious one he
states. There is much land in the
county that is not very strong and
the farmers should plant with view
to conserving the soil fertility. They
plant cotton and corn year after year
in the same places and never turn
their crop nor add fertilizer to their
soil"
