caused by what he alleges was the
attempt of r. Z. Echols to coerce
him into laying OFF, of the Okla

Thraves charged that Echols told
him IL he did not cease his activities
against the Oklahoma Natural Gas
company his resignation would be
demanded. Thraves declared that

The speaker charged that the
oklahoma Natural Gas company,
with an original capitalization OF
1000, 900. has built up a 100000

is fostering at the expense OF the gas

grass of sufficient extent to Justify
harvesting the seed never have to sow
1t. On the other hand, in localities
where the seed is most needed the
grass does not exist except in small
areas.
Perhaps the most promising loca-
ton for developing the carpet-grass
seed industry is on the alluvial lands
of the lower Mississippi Valley. In
that region cotton growing has been
eurtailed to some extent because of
the boil weevil. and cattle raising has
been substituted. Many of these old
cotton fields are now thickly set with
carpet grass and an abundant seed
crop goes to waste every year.
Carpet grass will form a seed crop
in spite of pasturing. The stock
craze the basal leaves. while the seed
stalks are rarely eaten. Perhaps a
larger crop of seed may result II ell
stock Is kept on the field for a few
weeks while it is going to seed. This
Is a point on which there is no data
and which needs investigation. Mean
time the crop OF seed which is pfo-
duced in addition TO the pasturing will
pay good returns II harvested An
ample supply of carpetgrass seed Is
at present a great need in southern
agriculture.
Carpetgrass begins to mature seed
in June, but continues to bloom
throughout the summer. The main
crop OF seed and the only one that
will usually pay to havest is ripe
early in September. There is a period
OF a month or six weeks in the fall
when seed may be gathered. but there
is considerable loss from shatterins

Fresh Vegetables
Are Most Healthful

At this time of the year, when
fresh fruits are high and scarce, the
delicious dried varieties should be
frequently used.
The food value of dried fruits is
very high, ranging from 1900 to 1900
calories cheat units) per pound, while
the fresh fruits range only from 200
to $50 calories per pound. Thus even
though the dried fruits cost more,
they furnish additional heat and
energy for the money expended.
For example, one pound of dried
apples costs % cents and yields 1850
heat units, while it costs SO cents to
buy enough fresh cooking apples to
yield the same amount of heat and
energy.
Prunes, figs, raisins, apricots, dates
and apples are the most popular of
the dried-fruit varieties, and these may
be used in the preparation of many
delicious and healthful desserts.
The Careful Preparation
To prepare these fruits, first rinse
carefully in warm water to remove
dust or foreign matter, then cover
with cold water and set in cool place
to soak for at least "a hours. Next
place the fruit with the water in which
they have soaked, in a saucepan over
a moderate heat and bring very slowly
to the boiling point
By using the water to cook the
fruit, the valuable mineral salts and
natural sugar are not lost. Add sugar
to taste when the fruit is almost
cooked, although man. 'ae varieties
will require no sugar.
The Combinations
Different combinations of these
fruits are excellent when cooked to-
gether; raisins and apples, prunes and
apricots and figs and dates are es-
pecially recommended.
Fruit whips are perhaps the sim
plest forms of desserts that can be
made from these dried products.
Press the stewed and sweetened fruit
through a PURGE sieve or potato ricer
and fold in sufficient stiffly whipped
white of egg so that the mixture will
hold it's shape. This may also be
baked in the oven, when it takes the
form of a soup souffle. A boiled Gus
tard made from the egg yolks will
furnish delicious sauce for the lat
ter dish.

American Farmers
Are Most Efficient

The average American farmer pro-
duces nearly three times as much
food as as any other farmer in the
world. Most people will be surprised
to hear this, especially in Europe. We
often read that farm land abroad
produces three or four times as much
per acre as in the United States, and
the American farmer is often crit
cised for this state of affairs. 1t is
true than an acre produces much more
abroad, but that is because there are
so many more men to work on IT..
Some IS per cent of the population
of the United States work on farms,
and they not only feed themselves
and the sixty-fve per cent, who live
in cities, but most of the world be-
sides-Boys' Life.

Binder Irvine
Plentiful, Cheaper

The wheat grower need have no
apprehensions as to the supply OF
binder twine-this season. Reports
coming to the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, of the United States Department
of Agriculture. indicate that there
will be a plentiful supply of this
commodity available for the Ameri-
can farmer. Not only will 1t he
plentiful but it is likely to be cheaper
this year than for some years past.
Yucatan-the chief and cheapest
source of henequen, from which TIE
Irvine is made-produces a large crop
this year; which, coupled with the
termination of control of prices by
the Commission Reguladora, was re-
ponsible for a drop in the price of
fiber from Is to 10 cents a pound
in March. The price is now reported
to be s cents a pound. This redue-
ton should be reflected in the price
Of Irvine this season.
Thus far the recent revolution in
Mexico has not affected the heneauin
industry of Yucatan and Champeehe,
the two important fiber-growing States
of that country. 1t is too late now for
any disruption of this industry OF
Irvine for this years harvest, as prae-
tically all the fiber necessary for the
present needs have already been I'M
ported to the United States.
Although there is no danger for
this years twine supply. officials OF
the Department of Agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the ef-
feet that the low prices for hber pre-
vailing now will have upon the pro-
duction of henequin during the next
few years Low prices, according %
reports to the Department, are lead
ing the growers in Yucatan to reduce
their planting, with the result that a
real shortage of the fiber Ave or six
years hence is a very likely posi-
bility.

Proper distribution of farm prod

satisfactory that when the regulation

CoWpeas
The cowpea crop needs little dis
cussion. It has been grown in the
South for great many years. The
ability of cowpeas TO make a good
growth on land low in fertility is
well known. The crop is very useful
for green manuring, for hay, and for
hog pasture 1t is best adapted to
the sandy loan, where it makes a
heavy growth. Hogs relish this cror
and will eat the vegitative parts as
well as the seed. One of the best
ways to use cowpeas as a hog wasture
is to combine some early variety with
one of the early sweet sorghums for
midsummer grazing. The cowpea will
stand late seeding and still produce
crop, and it is often used after oats
or some other winter crop has been
harvested. The ripe peas also make
good hog feed. These may be har-
vested, ground, and fed with corn
meal as grain ration to good adj
vantage, provided the harvesting can
be done economically. Where hand
picking is necessary it will be more
profitable to Craze the crop than to
harvest it.
For further information in regard to
the culture of the crop, see U. S.
Govt's Farmers Bulletin 31S, entitled
"Cowpeas."

who desires reliable information re-
garding the condition of any specific
shipment of fruits or vegetables.
Soon after the arrival of these onions,
which came in lots ranging from 400
to 10000 sacks, the federal inspectors
were able to certify the exact condition
of the vegetable after their long
ocean journey. Most of the onions
were in good condition. The fact that
this could be definitely established
was of importance to those concerned,
for some of the lots arrived when the
market was not altogether favorable
Had there been any doubt as to the
condition of the shipment it probably
would have worked to the serious dis
advantage of the shippers or their rep

were able to demand price based,
for the most part, on the goods being

Plant Corn in Blocks to Get Regular
Ears
Corn should be planted in short
blocks or squares, never in long,
single rows. The reason for this is
that If the wind blows from east to
west and the corn grown in long rows
running north to south, the wind will
blow the pollen away from the corn
and the ears will be lopsided. Where
as, if the corn is planted in blocks.
it doesn't make any difference which
way the wind blows.
Clean Up the Stable Fly
Have you ever tried to sleep on

dow screen? Imagine your state of
mind if that single mosquito were
multiplied by 100 and you had your
hands tied!
That sensation, according to the
Bureau of Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, is some
thing comparable with what horse,
mule or COW endures when the stable
fly is present in great numbers.
The stable fly greatly resembles the
ordinary house fly but for the LANCE
with which he is armed. 1t is known
that he carries disease from infected
animals to healthy ones, and there Is
some ground for belief that the in
sect aids the spread of spinal menin-
gifts among human beings.
The eggs of the fly are laid in
loose, warm straw heaps and piles OF
stable refuse A plague of flies always
starts from these sources, and the
control of the pest is best managed by
scattering the straw early in the
spring before the beginning of warm
weather and ploughing it under or
burning it when the former method
cannot be applied.

They Tried it
On the Cats

Lack of knowledge concerning the
right food to feed rather than lack of
food is the cause of much of the NAL
nutrition found among children in
this country, child specialists say, and
home demonstration agents employed
by county farm bureaus in cooperation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State colleges are
being asked this year to teach the
kind of food that a growing child
have.
Sometimes talks and demonstrations
are given to the mothers, and some
times they are given to the children
at school. 1t is an interesting fact
that the best results come when talks
with the mothers are supplemented
by talking directly to the children.
Milk, whole milk, is always advised
as the ideal food for the growing
child, and sometimes the results of
the experiments made by an investi-
gator who fed milk to rats is told the
children to drive home the necessity
of drinking milk if they wish to be
healthy and strong
Among the pupils who heard such
lecture in a school in Platte County,
Wyo., were three boys from one fam
lily. All three were very much under
weight, as were two younger brothers
at home. Their mother had had little
training in the care and feeding of
children and the children showed it.
She was very willing, however, to help
carry out the suggestions about food
that the children brought home from
the lecture.
Two months later the home demon
stration agent met the mother, who
told her how pleased the whole fam
lily was at the children's gain in weight
and general health since their change
in diet. Then she said: 81 must tell
you about the experiment that the
boys tried with cats d show me what
you told about the IT'S was true.
They thought that cats ought to do
as we'll as rats in an experiment OF
that kind, and they had the cats and
didn't have the rats. So they took two
kittens, and to one they only fed sepa-
rated milk with tablespoon of cream
added to each feeding.
at turned out with them just like
it did with the rats, to the intense
satisfaction of the boys. The kitten
that had the whole milk grew big and
strong while the one one on the sepa-
rated milk diet was thin and puny."
