quite possible that this gencraii/.a-
tion may be justified from observa-
tion of men in other w;.!k< >>f life,
but those of us who dea! with uni-joiic
versitv students suspect ihat its ap-
plicability is nowhere mon universal
than it is in academic haunts. Nor
is its truth more easily shown than
by the criterion of the opening sen-
tence, namely, that university
dents so easily and so unanimously
leave it fo others to attend to the
business that should be ti
chief concern.
Willi au increase
per cent over last year, and allow-
ing for an abandonment of acreage
of 5 per cent, our September esti-
mate if Oklahoma'c cotton crop is
r>97,7nu bales. This estimate will be
increased or decreased, depending on
the growing condition of the coming
month.
Ivfcffir has a growing condition of
5S per cent. This s an increase of
3 per cent over condition of one
month ago. Milo maise has a grow-
ing condition of 57 per cent, an in-
crease of 2 per cent during past
month. Both of th: above named
crops show an estimated average
yield per acre for the state of 16
bushels. The acreage planted to
kaffir is 14 per cent less than in
making a total yield of 11, 1 ,-
000 bushels. The acreage planted to
milo maise is 21 per «ent less than
last year, making a total yield for
l!Uf> «,f 5,007,000 bushels.
The acreage planted to sorghum
this year is 11 per cent less than the
I'M.", acreage. With an average yield
of 2.1 tons per acre, Oklahoma's sor-
ghum crop for 1916 will equal 542,-
6St tons.
Our final estimate of the following
is; wheat 27,541,000 bu.; oats 16.SS0,-
000 bu.; and corn 55,83T,000 bushels.
(>' this amount, 27 per cent of wheat,
41 per cent of oats and 82 per cent
<<f the corn is still in the hands of
the farmer.

assertion that it is a.so u.« -ful. You
have been told that what a man
learns from books is the least impor-

when chided for frivolity and for
wasting time in campus activities you
will excuse yourself, secretly if not
opeuily, by the asse'rtion that the me st
important element e f success In life-
is learning to nssoclate with your
fellow beings. Such a statement is of
value provided that you remember
that tbe« condition eilf success Is the

with diminishing force, thru the high

particularly how* to get rid of the'
fellow who wants to waste both his

without being boisterous; how to en-
