Cotton Acreage
(Cotton men think the acreage in
Cleveland county will be cut down
co siderably the coming year, but
not to the extent as in other local-
ity. Cotton raisers in Cleveland
county sold almost all their 1918
crop at the high prices, and there
is little be in i* held by them. In
tther localities, it is said, especial-
ly in Texas, and other cotton grow-
inp states, many farmers held for
top prices, refusing to sell even at
30 and 32 cents, with the result
that they face a probability of hav-
ing to take from 23 to 25 cents or
hold over until the coming fall or

Oil Prospect I Come to Norman
Geo W. Giles was in Noble on
Saturday and says the amount of
material being hauled out from
that town to the Macklenburg-
Duncan oil prospect near Etowah
indicates that that well is going
down rapidly. "Looks as if there's
enough material and casing to
push a well clear down to China,"
says Mr. Giles. Other reports
from the well, and from other
sources, are to the effect that the
promoters of the well intend mak-
ing a thorough test, going down
3,500 feet if necessary, and that

high prices, and they, too, face a
loss. It is estimated the Texas
cotton farmers have each an aver-
age of ten bales on hand. Unless
the acreage is cut down, the cotton
farmers face low prices for this
year's crop, because of the large
amount of last year's cotton on
haad.
This prospect is some four or
five miles south of the Cleveland
County Development Company's
