WHY and HOW TO
CULTIVATE SOIL
OF Much Importance That Roots
of Various Plants Be Given
Supply of Air.
MAKE PLANT FOOD AVAILABLE
Many Persons Make Mistake OF Work
Ing Too Deeply and Cot OF Feed
Ing Rcotlets-Steei Rake is
Useful Tool.

Prepared by the United States Department,
of Agrtculture.D
Most people have an idea that gar
dens are cultivated solely for the pur-
pose Of killing weeds. AS a matter of
fact, the killing Of weeds Is just one
object OF garden cultivation. say the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture. The roots of plants require air
just the same as do tile tops, and IL
the ground Is packed or hard or is
s~unbaked over the surface after a beat
ing rain, the roots cannot get air, and
for that reason the plants will suffer
IL not cultivated. The same thing Is
true where the land Is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps out
the air and the roots cannot feed the
plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that II breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
feeding rootlets OF the plants. Many
persons, however, make the mistake Of
cultivating too deeply, and by so do
ing cut off or inJure the feeding root
lets and deprive the plant OF It's source
of nourishment and support. Frequent
shallow cultivation during dry weather
results In the formation of a layer of
fine dust which serves rs a mulch or
blanket to retain moisture.
c%ultivating After Rains.
The soil should always be cultivated
just as soon as Ii is sufficiently dr. to
be safely worked after heavy rains.
IL II is not cultivated, a crust forms, the
surface bakes, and the crops are in
jured. The same viii apply where ir-
rigation is used, and IL has beer found
best to give the soil a thorough soak
Ing. then cultivate as 500 as Ii is
dry enough, and apply no more water
until absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
most important tools for '~cultivating
the small garden. On a larger scale
a wheel hoe or a horse cultivator may
be used to advantage. The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with u number of
different attachments adapted for the
different types of work to be per-
formed. These implements have the
advantage that one Gun go over the
garden very rapidly and break up the
surface of the soil in a comparatively
short time. 1t Is generally necessary,
however, TO follow with the hoe and
the fingers to remove any weeds that
have not been destroyed by the wheel
cultivator. Even where ho~rse-drawn
tools are occasionally used. the great
er part Of the work, especially during

/ A handy little tool for loosening the
soil can be made from a piece Of thin
board 2 inches wide and IA inches long,
with one end whitfield down to form a
handle and the opposite end provided
with three No. 9 or No. Z wire nails.
This little homemade implement can
~ used very soon after a rain to loos-
en- the surface. so that any small seeds
can break through.
1t should be borne Ia mind that the
time to kin weeds Is when they are
tust coming through the ground II
allowed to become established. II Is
much more difficult to rel rid OF them
than II they are taken in time. II the
top 2 inches Of soil Is kept continuous

HEAR GOV.

Gov. Robertson is the guest OF Chickasha today and he vii
speak here this evening. following his appearance at the tar
grounds this afternoon. 1t is to be expected that he will tell the
Story Of his stewardship as a servant Of the people OF Oklahoma,
and since this story concerns matters i'll which all OF us are m
tercstcd, we should be glad Of the opportunity to hear it related
While Gov. Robertson stands accused OF a very serious crime
before the people of his state, it should be borne in mind ehat ne
has not been brought to trial and the charge against HIM not
been proved. Charges have often been brought against innocent
men, particularly those prominent in public life, a tact which
should admonish against pronouncing hasty Judgment against Gov
Robertson or ANYBODY else merely because of an accusation.
Standing entirely apart from all matters involved IN the
charges against the governor, there is a vast amount OF construc-
tive work which must be credited to the Robertson administration
The governor himself can best describe what his administration
has accomplished and how Oklahoma has gone forward during the
last four years. Common fairness to our chief executive demands
that he be given a hearing and, therefore, it is to be hoped that
the people Of Chickasha will furnish him a large audience. The
charges against him have been given wide publicity and II t. is
nothing but lust that the other side of the case be heard.

For many years Farmer" Fields has been farming the farmers
almost exclusively, but now the exigencies OF politics have IN
spired him to broaden the scope of his agricultural operations.
And, Of course, it doesn't set well with him that Farmer Jack
has invaded Johns particular field and is garnering the farmers
into his fold. Furthermore, two years ago when John was max
ing speeches in behalf Of the republican ticket, including Mr..
Harreld, who had the %unenviable distinction Of being the only Ok
lahona congressman to vote to seat Victor Berger. after the latter
had been convicted Of disloyalty. it didn't bother him a bit that the
socialists were all riding with iarreld. Evidently, up to that time
Mr.. Fields had not developed any acute dislike for socialist votes
Only two years ago John was boosting the candidacy Of the man
who had bid for socialist support by holding out the helping hand
to their hero. Berger. The rapid evolution Of his horror Of social
ism and socialists is really remarkable. Again, politics is funny
business.
