Oltloe Carier-Hooker bulldliiK, Ardmore, Ok. wS'J There Is not a county In Oklahoma that has better crop prospects than Carter county. Not a large area of I county Ik subject to overflow ai.d hall has not dono so much damage here as In adjoining counties. No other law passed by the legis lature has had unite so much abuse as the new election law. The people regard It as being Impracticable and It Is extremely Inconvenient to com ply with all Its demnuds. The people of Carter county should be given an opportunity to vote on n bond Issue for county Improve ments. The county Is without build f lugs of Its own ami without roads. The prolltable marketing of the cot ton crop Is of more lmortnnco to the grower than the nuking of a bumper crop. The political conventions make a I good deal of fuss, but they will pro-1 bably do less Tor tho country than the split-log-drag clubs. If the peoplo bestowed as much time and labor upon the hay crop as they do on the cotton crop they would find it moro pleasant during tho work ing hensou mill more prolltable at marketing time. Two cars of Oklahoma steers fed on corn and alfalfa, broke, the record Tor high prices at Fort Worth last week, stlllng for $7.25 per hundred. A short time ago a train load of steers corn and alfalfa, broke tho record per hundred in Omaha. Alfalfa as a feed crop Is coming Into Its own. Wnen large stones are left In tho road bed they do harm. They wont to the sur.ace and mako rough places. Then ns they aro moved they form holes where water Is collected, and soon a mud hole results.

I Scientific road builders say the bet i ter the il in Inane of sand roads tho I worse for tho roads us they nro quickly wiibhe,! uway. This may be remedied by mixing .clay with the I sand, but care should bo taken to pre ! vent the layer of sand-clay being un dermined and broken dovn. Again, the time is coming, If It bo not here, when wo must make changes In tires of vehicles. Narrow tires cut deeply and make ruts, whvre water lodges, and the continued wet de stroys roads. Wide tires Improve tho roads all the time. It 1 not Imposi tion to require wldo tlrvs--;irovlded all use them. An djustublo tire Is manufactured with which a narrow tired wagon may be converted Into & wldo tired one In a few minutes. Tho coBt Is not groat ami there Is no loss of tho wagons. When roads aro cut up and rough the uso of a harrow has been found good, It breaks off projections and fills rts. When roads aro harrowed and tho split log grader used, thero Is a hotter road, Tho split log grader Is a moBt practical Implement, slnco It Is cheap enough to bo In common uso, and thero Is no need to wait until ono can ho secured. Plant cow peas during tho next two weeks. After that, It'll be gett.im rather late. If you had witno sheep, nay about fifty, they'd do valiant son Ice In help. Ing you keep down tho weeds about the place. And they'd pay well for tholr keep. Stack the wheat and net It Into shape to turn tho water. There may and thero uiny not bo rains In .July to Interfere with threshing. Ifat It's j certain that you are safe If you gtack I the wheat as soon as It Is dry enough and Hi1'11 thresh as soon as you can. There Is time yet to get that patch j of hcrmuda planted from which you expect to get sod and roots for plant ing next year. If you can't do any more, get a few pounds of roots by mall and start It. Plant the roots In rows on well propnrcd land and culti vate n time or two. They will bo well established before frost. In nnny localities there Is a nnt ural cement which makes good roads. In Krath county, Texas, this Is being tried with broken rock, the natural cement being a binder. We shall know soon how It will work, and something as to Its durability. Its abuuMiuco makes It desirable that it should be given n fair lest. It feeuiB strango that the federa tion of Oiilahoma commercial clubs should have to bo so careful to avoid even tno semblance of politics when endeavoring to accomplish those things necessary for the development of our stute. Hut their caution M well taken. Unfortunately, prejudice too often Is tho basis of many polltl-, cal policies. And ono party Is no bet ter than another In that regard. , Carefulness In buying and In mar keting lias much to do with success lu farm lug. You'ro doing tho proper thing when you keep yourself Informed as to what things you havo to buy should cost. Many otherwise good people think that farmers should bo kept lu Ignorance as to where things they need can be bought and don't like to sell advertized articles. It's a pretty safe guess that wheu an article lu (I fl t'nrt iti. I ilimlnn 1 1 f m t twirlftil l M years, It has real merit. If It didn't it couldn't survive. j 'Partners suffer more than others from bad roads. A bad road often means twice as much work for the farmer, and sometimes more for his teams. The team drhon with a heavy load over a bad road Is lu poor condition for some das, and one day of such work does more Injury than several days on the rami. Tho man who hauls two hales of cotton to mar ket over a hid road, when ho could haul live or six over a Kood road, has lost something; and his team has not found anything good. Tho old Idea of making roads straight Is a good ono when they can bo mado so without sacrificing things more ImiKirtant than distance. Hut tho topography of a wagon road Is as Important as that of a rallrtud, and tho grade Bhould have as careful con sideration. When roads havo been placed so that teams must pull up and down heavy grades the communi ty Ins lost much nd thero is con stant effort on he par of land own ers to move roads.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY LATE COTTON IN OKLAHOMA. A late bulletin from the experiment station fit Stillwater. 6kla., says con cerning cotton lu this state: Mn planting lu thu case ot this crop l not desirable, but It Is Inter esting to note that the experiment station has secured fair returns lu eastern Oklahoma by planting cotton sued as lata as tho Uth ot July. Tho crop lu question was grown during the juir Urn;!, and as several varie ties were used lu tho test, It was pos sible to obtain some valuable data concerning tho respective strains. Tho Hold used for the above work was given thorough cultivation prior to planting, and tho seeding was done on July 'J as Indicated, Our best va riety In this list gave a yield of S00.& pounds of seed cotton per acre; thu second variety gave a return of 0151.8 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the third made a yield of I'JLI.U pounds of seed cotton. ICarly planting will give much better results one season with another than Into planting. How. ever, unfavorable weather conditions Interfere with our plana at times, and Into planting Is necessary under such conditions. It would not he a safe proposition to plant extensive areas at this season ot tho year, but lu many cotton Ileitis thero aro small sections on which the crop has failed to mako a showing, aud aa tho stand over the remaining portion of the Held Is comparatively good, wo be lieve that It will pay to replant tho smaller areas, provided tho work can be done Immediately.

Isea hate been large ami they have seemed larger than they ready are lu Oklahoma, because there Is yet time to repair them. Tim strong position of tho stockman-farmer has again been emphasized; his J llveetock anil grass have thrived. Ills ntfulu ami betmuda may have been i beaten to the ground by tho hall. What of It? They were growing the next morning Just tho same and nothing hail to be done to llx thorn up. Thero was time to attend to other things while tho stock looked after themselves. Whether It Is too much dry weath er or too much wet weather, tho man who lias livestock as tho basis of his business of farming Is uastly better off than those whoso solo de pendence Is Home crop or two or three to bo sold for cash. And there is no one who cannot afford to get a start lu good livestock. Hogs In crease so rapidly and may bo taken care of so easily that every farmer may have .at least one sow pig which may bo bought for a few dollnrs. In a very short time, thero will bo a herd of hogs to soil, lu addition to ; supplying tho family with meat, i Crow crops, to bo sure. Hut n farm without cows, hoi;s nnd poultry Isn't a real Oklahoma farm. With them, tho living Is lassured nnyhow. I Without them, tho inrmer Is entirely i nt the mercy of tho weather.
