PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA. THE

TT WAS not q new dream-this plan

The ,,low fell and the Indians were
so successful in their surprise attacks
that eight Of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was In personal

Rut Pontiac was not ready to give

and tried to rally them to mis- cause.

FARM CALENDAR

Fall Gardens. Gardening activities
need not be confined to the spring
months in Oklahoma. In fact with
proper care, many kinds of vcgeta
blcs can be raised in the late sum
mcr and early autumn as well as in
spring and early summer. Now is
the time to plant.
Swat the Rooster.--Heat is the
greatest enemy of quality eggs in the
summer. II causes considerable more
trouble with fertile eggs than infer
tile. For this reason il the farmer
wants to produce a quality egg he
must produce infertlc eggs.
Dairying Now the pasture to kill
III the weeks. Fresh grass, free Of
cows to produce more and better milk.
Fit Cattle for Fairs.-Begin fitting
cattle for county and state fairs. EX'
ira care given prospective entries now
will mean better showings in compe-
tition for blue ribbons.
Mites in The Hen House.-Thc
summer time brings with it our
greatest trouble with chicken mites.
If they once get start it is usually
long fight to get the best of them.
They can be prevented in getting a
start, however, with regular spray
ing Of the poultry house once a week.
And good contact sprays such as the
various sheep dips, crude oil, a mix
-turc of carbolic acid and kerosene,
or any of the coal tar products arc
good. The solution you buy in the
can is usually designated as a stock
solution. In making up spray mix
turr for mites 3 per cent or 3 parts
of this stock solution is used to 81
per cent or ~ parts of water. This
strength is sufficient to keep dowr
mites. If the mites once get stare
it may be necessary to use as strong
rs 10 per cent solution.

OKLAHOMA FARM NOTES

With the exception of Arkansas,
Missouri and California the condition
of Oklahoma cotton. as of June. was
higher than any other cotton grow
ing state. The condition for Oklaho-
ma of &c per cent of normal indicates
a yield of $50 600 bales, assuming
average variations to prevail there
after The June condition figure is
4 points below the tcn-ycar aver
age for that date and 5.S points
above the u. S. average for the month
of June 1922. The forecast for the
United States is ll,065.O0O bales.
With the World requiring n large
production in 1922 to meet the in
creasing needs Of consumption and
with the wccvils active over practi-
cally the entire cotton belt, il is the
consensus of opinion that the product
will bring good price The cotton
plant usually takes on from three to
four successive frlitingS during its
period Of growth during the months
of June. July and August. In many
instances n plant will take on all
fruit it can possibly carry and develop
in the short period of two weeks, it
it is permitted To do so, hut with the
boll wcevil nfrStation all late fruit
age is practically annihlatcd.
The Oklahoma cotton crop is Is
days late and the boil weevil began its
activity on month earlier this year
that last Oklahoma must fight this
cotton pest in real earnest this year
and produce rs much cotton as pos
sihle under the prevailing conditions
The Board of Agriculture has been
mailing thousands of bulletins to cot
ton farmers suggesting methods for
combating the wccvil; also leaflct
showing the construction of the cot
ton drag.
Oklahoma is among the four larg-
est cotton growing states in the I'm
ion. 1t has always produced more
money to Oklahoma than any other
crop. 1t is to our interest to grow
our share of this great southern sta
pie. and by better grading, marketing
and storage facilities, to do all we can
to secure more money for il.
There has been large increase
in the corn acreage in many counties,
notably in the south, hut other coun-
ties indicate slight decreases. The

Farmers Getting Scientific

Farmers Of Blaine county are be-
coming more scientific in their meth
ods Of cultivating and managing their
farm lands.
\ few years ago the majority of
the farmers clung to the old methods
and literally worked themselves to
death for slight returns. Their fami-
lies shared the same fate. Then they
woke up, decided they were on the
wrong track, roghted themselves and
started to forge ahead.
Watonga implement dealers report
a substantial increase in the sales of
modern farm machinery from year to
year, and machinery that few years
ago found little or no sale now is
eagerly sought. There is no demand
for the class of implemtnes that were
considered staple five and ten years
ago, dealers say.

MAKE BEETS PART
Of ROTATION
SYSTEM
Is THE ADVICE OF CHIEF FIELD
MAN FOR SUGAR CO.-GIVES
REASONS BACK OF HIS
CLAIMS
(From The Rupert Pioneer Record

Beet growing should be made 2
part of every farmers crop rotation
1t assists in putting the farm in a
good fertile and physical condition
In the rotation, potatoes are perhaps
the best crop to grow the first year
out of alfalfa, to be followed two
years later with beets. Beets is a
crop for which you receive a definite
price. 1t would be we'll for each
man to grow enough beets to meet
his cash obligations, such as taxes,
interest, water assessments, etc.,
leaving the balance of his crops to
speculate on.
THE company paid the farmers
for beets around Rupert and Paul
for 1921 $4,000, which is about
laid for possible acreage, and if the
people would produce the beets the
company would be glad to pay for
them. The Paul factory can nicely
udHQic lUO,OUU lOuS VI DttlS- IL
1921 Rupert and Paul produced
1884 tons. The average this season
was 11.5. From present indications
this tonnage for 1922 will be more
than doubled"
1--WE hope" continued Mr. May,
to see the people, both business
men and farmers, take hold of the
beet business with a vim and help
us make a success of it. 1t means,
during the campaign, employment
for between 200 and $50 men, and
as for as possible, local men are US
ed. The more beets raised, the lar
ger the job for the men, hence the
greater payroll. Then again, the
pulp and molasses is a great benefit
to the beet grower More sheep, cat
DE and hogs should he fed from the
by-products.
100000 tons of beets with hay
and molasses used will feed 100000
head of lambs for 100 days. The lit
ter from feeding the above number
of sheep will fertilize 1000 acres,
which means better and bigger
crops"
