by the Oklahoma Cotton Growers'
association Monday, Oct. 2, when
3,195 bales of cotton were delivered
by members. This brings the total
handled by the association thin
year to 26,000 bales, or more than
4,000 bales in excess of the totr.l
for the aaine dale last year, lu ad -
dition to 24,141 bales on which bills
of lading and compress tickets are
now in the hands of the Security
National Bank, Oklahoma City, act-
ing as custodian of col lateral for
the association. It 1h animated that
10,000 bales have been delivered to
agents of the association at local
shipping points but on which thc
lading and tickets have not yet
been delivered in Oklahoma City.
"Cotton handled by the associa-
tion Monday represents not only a
greater amount of cotton than has
ever been handled by any co-opora-
tive cotton marketing organization
in one day." said C. L. Stealey, gen-
eral manager of thc association,
this morning, "hut It breaks all
records for volume of business in
dollars and cents ever handled lu
a single day by any co-opcrative
marketing organization or farmers.
Advances to members Monday to-
taled $181,456.97. The total of ad-
vances for the season to Monday
night Is 11.461,088.71. The associa-
tion is receiving more cotton every
day than on the corresponding day
of last year. This fact, considering
that this year's crop is likely to bo

Indicates a fooling of satisfaction
on the part of a largo majority of
our members and a determination
to put tho marketing of their crop

OMAHA, Oct. 6.—A complete re-
pudiation of stand-pate both in the
Republican and Democratic parties
is scheduled for the November
election in Nebraska, according to
political observers here.
! Tho same opposition to the con-
servatives which has swept over a
half dozen mates and Hticcoeded In
nominating R. B. Howell on the Re-
publican ticket as United States
senator, bids fair to elect their
man in Nebraska.
Howell, who is a progressive and
even called radical during the cam-
paign, is a public ownership advo-
cate. Since his nomination, pro-
gressive sentiment is being organ-
ized in his interest with the solid
support of tho Nonpartisan league.
Progressives nre paying little at-
tention to party lines, lining up for
Howell for senator on the Rcpub-
M^en ticket and Charles W. Bryan,
Democrat and brother of William
J., for governor.
The Republican candidate for
governor, J. E. Randall, is a stand-
patter and is president of the state
banker's association.
The only rift in the progressive
lute is the fact that Wm. J. Bryan,
who is scheduled to stump the
state in behalf of his brother, is
said to be under agreement not to
opposo Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Dem-
ocratic nominee for United States
sentor, running against Howell.
Progressives are fighting Hitch-
cock because business interests are
lining up solidly for him and
agalnt Howell. How Bryan will be
able to justify his attitude will be
watched with interest.
North Dakota Farm Econ-
omist Makes Estimate.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 5.—For every
bushel of wheat the farmers of
North Dakota raised in 1922, it
cost them $1.43 according to a care-
fully prepared cost system compiled
by Hex Willard, farm economist of
the North Dakota Agricultural col-
lege.
Willard arrived at his cost of
$1.43 after a careful digest of the
cost of the raising of wheat on 127
average farms of the state. The
coat ranged all the way from 61
conts to V 13.18 a bushel.
Willard selected farms in 31
counties located in all parts of tho
• state, kthe forms ranging from a
quarter section to a three-section
wheat ranch and cover in all 21.-
218 acres with a wheat production
| of 211,519 bushels.

produced wheat at costs ranging
from $1.50 to $2 per bushel made
yield of 8 1-3 per acre. Twenty-
five farms produced wheat at costs
ranging from $2 to $5 per bushel
and these farms made yields of 4.8

In terms of quantity production
27 per cent of the wheat was pro-
duced at a cost of $1,10 per bushel
or less and that was produced ai a
cost of 18 percent of the acreage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—Of every
100 bushels of corn that farmers
set out to grow, only sixty-four
bushels are realized, according to
I figures compiled by the United
States Department of Agriculture
over a thirteen-year period. Tho
difference between the potential
crop and the quantity harvested is
| due to w eather conditions, defective
seed, plant diseases, and devasta-
tions by insect anil animal pests.
For every bushel of corn harvested
somewhat over one-half a bushel
fails to reach harvest
Were it not for the elements that
tend to reduce the siae of the crop
the average crop for the thirteen-
year period would have been about
1,374.000,000 bushels iwdead of the
2,8u5,000,000 bushels harvested,
provided the same acreage were
planted. Thc department oorints
out, however, that if these elements
did not exist and tho corn grower
were certain of realizing 100 per
cent results, the coru Jbcrenge prob-
ably would be greatly reduced, so
that the final outturn might not be
a larger crop than that actually
harvested. It would mean simply
that the fanner could get from

BALES OF COTTON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 —A total
of 3,883,006 bales of cotton were
ginned in the United States up to
Sept. 25, according to the census |
bureau Wednesday.
This is almost 3,000,000 moro
bales than was ginned up to Sept.
25, last year, the number ginned
being 2,907,950 bales. In 1920 the
number was 2,249,606 and in 1919 |
only 1,835,214 bales were ginned
for the Oct. 1 report.

acres.
The largest potential corn crop
was one of about 5,0 (Mi ,000/Ml
bushels in 1917. although the actual
harvest of 3,065,000.000 bushels in
tbat year was exceeded in the three
years, 1912, 1920 and 1921, the
iargost harvested crop being 3.209.-
000,000 bushels in 1920. A larye

low prevention of production by thc
many causes by which it is limit-
ed, but of course production is also
related to acreage, the depart-
ment's records show.
During the thirteen years i%(o
lowest degree ot prevention was
28.5 per cent of a potential crop in
1920, and the highest \was 44.5 pet-
cent in 1913. Within the period
covered, from about one-fourth to
nearly one-half of a potential pro-
duction has failed to be realized.

Some people think that the use of
milk, cheese, butter and other milk
products came later into human
life, when men became nomadic.
The writer is, however, disposed to
give Neolithic men credit for hav-
ing discovered milking. The milk,
if they did use It (and, no doubt, in
that case sour curdled milk also,
but not well-made cheese and but-
