NOBLE, May 8.—A traveling med- j
icine man. with a voice like the sten-
tatorian tones of a Jersey ferryboat
whistle, gathered a large crowd in
front of one of the stores here re-
cently, and pleaded with the earnest-
ness of a senator debating the league
of nations, with his gaping audience
to flee the dangers of acute gartitis.
He bad a weather beaten diagram
of a human interior about the size of
a Sunday school map of the devious
windings of the River Jordan with
which he illustrated the dangers of
the accumulation of deleterious for-
eign substances in the porcelain in-
terior of the average Nobleites well
ted.
He was Interrupted.
A bystander interrupted him at one
point to ask him if he had an pallia-
tive for a very severe case of com-
pound, complex, converging concom-
itant strabismus.
The medicine man replied, waviug
his map up and down in the humid
atmosphere like a barber's tonsorial
swabbing towel, that he had such a
medicine in his trunk at Oklahoma
City, but that this morning he -was
specializing on the dangers of corro-
"Prospects for a good wheat crop
..re promising," said L R. Bogan, j
county far mdemonstrator, when ask-1
ed about the outlook for good crops I
in the county for the coming year.
'Wheat is needing rain, however," he
added, "As yet there has been no
-erious damage done to the crop."
The acreage for wheat this year is
good. In the year 1918 the wheat
thrashed was about 150,000 bushels;
oats, 200,000 bushel; barley about
5000 bushel and rye about 100U bushel.
In 1919 there was an increase of 50
percent in acreage, and this year
there has been a decrease of about
50 percent, which puts- the county
back on about the same yield as it
had in 1918. Bogan says that there
was approximately 10,000 bushels of
wheat in Cleveland copnty this year.
I'he outlook for barley is also g(\J,
Barley is a comparatively new crop
in this part of the state but it has
be, n proved a thorough success.
Barley has all the properties of corn,

place corn. Ten pounds of barley
equals nine pounds of corn. "One
thing very much in favor of barley"
