OKLAHOMA STATE
NEWS OF 1NTERES
REVIEW OF EVENTS IN THE
STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Plow Lands Show Increase of 25 Per
Cent In One Year; Sweet
Potataes Lead.
Based on the slate assessor's sur-
vey lor 1910 the table showing the
peicentagp of principal Oklahoma
crops produced In each district of the
Hate points toward the northwest and
north central portions ui the state as
the greatest wheat producing areas
tvhile the central south and east cen-
tral aieas are the banner cotton and
corn producing districts. Kafirs ac-
cording to the table are grown al-
most entirely in the central and north-
ern parts ot the state as are broom
torn alfalfa and sorghums canes and
sudau.
Crop Diversity In Evidence.
According to tho acreage in crops
v central north to south third of the
.to is agriculturally the most impor-
tant. A groat diversity of crops is
raised in this section but tho princi-
pal ones arranged according to acre-
jge are hay cotton corn oats broom
Corn and wheat. The west grows
mostly kafirs broom corn and wheat
ivhile the east is interested principally
n hay oats corn and cotton.
Taking the state in its north to
jouth thirds it is found that tho
north third excels in hay wheat kn-
ars and oats; the central In hay cot-
ton corn kafirs and oats and tho
south in hay cotton corn and broom
corn.
Touching upon the appraised valua-
tion cf cultivated lands hi Oklahoma
Ihe table gave an estimate of $47.00
per acre. As of March 1920 this fig-
ure was $13.01 below the average for
the United States $23000 below tho
Kansas aver. 0 and $40.00 below tho
HvevagiB of Missiuro. Comperad to tho
jicome per acre Oklahoma's combined
crops in 1919 was given at $30.11 or
f.8.48 more than Kansas and 29 cents
moio than Missouri. Plow lauds in-
creased 21 per cent in the state from
1919 to 1020 as against 75 per cent
trom 1916 to 1920.
Sweet Potatoes Lead In Value.
With rainfall averages of from 15
Inches in the northwest to 45 inches
In the southeastern part of the state
and an average growing season rang-
Infi trom 1G0 days in the northern part
to lbO days in the southern part of
Oklahoma's crops sweet potatoes iu-
turn tho greatest acre income. Pro-
lucing approximately 4 1 per cent of tho
total United atatts production Ok-
lahoma loads the union in broom corn.
Tho combined number of horses and
mules has not varied much in Ok-
lahoma nice 1910 the data shows tho
number of head per farm remaining
fairly constant. Cattle other "than
aiilch cows show a considerable do-
crease but tho dairy industry has
made a marked advance both in mini-
Dor of cows and quality. Tho newest
Industry to Oklahoma farmers that of
sheep raising is becoming "increas-
ingly popular" the report says al-
though the present fatate of the wool
market has done much to discourage
gn oven better Interest in sheep.
