PAULS VALLEY DEMOCRAT, AUGUST 4, 1921.
OKLAHOMA CROP NOTES
Oklahoma City, July 30—Light
scattered showers fell over .he
we ern half of the State on Sun-
tin;- and Monday of the week just
clo- ng. I lear weuther has pre-
vail. .1 throughout practically all
com ties (luring the past five days,
and ..11 farm work has advanced
rapidly. The week has been one
of ideal growing weather, aii
crops have made excellent growth
and the condition of the soil as
regards moisture is good, except
'in a few western and southwest-
ern counties.
Wheat and Oats threshing made
excellent advances during the
latter part of the week. Prob-
ably more work was accomplished
.during this pariod than at any
time since the first of the month.
Average wheat eilds of from 8 to
: ) bushels per acre are reported
with the Kanred variety leading.
,Oats continue to thresh out at a
wry low quality in r/iost localities.
Some localities report threshing
practically completed with yields

Opportunities in Agriculture
Thesi wpre l.rver great1 r than light now, notwlth-
standing apparent discouragement. Hut—these opportu-
nities are op"n only to the man who Is eapable*ot applying
modern methods.
The boj who thinks he ought to get away from the
farm is making a mistake. The thing for him to do is to
study new ways for making farm life worth living -learn
how to provide modern conveniences about the place, sucii
as water and lights and sewer in the house, getting the
cows out of the mud bv building concrete floors in the
dairy barns, and learn also about the care of motor equip-
ment for Held work.
If he thinks he's simply got co get away from ty> farm,
there still are agricultural opportunities open to him
such as farm demonstration agencies, experiment station
jobs, positions in the department of agriculture, agricultur-
al journalism and teaching vocational agriculture. Hanks,
railroads and manufacturers of farm machinery all are
clamoring for men who know fanning condition,.
Oklahoma A. 4 M. ctfllege offers practical training
in «very line of farm work.
Write for bulletins giving more information.

fair to good. Official count*
averages on yield per acre oi
wheat will be released on Aug-
9th from this office.
Corn i> made in many section .
and promises one or the best yield -
in the history of the state. In-
formotion received from the south-
eastern counties estimate the
average yield from 40 to 611 bu-
per acre. Farmers in this section
are looking for "Feeder Hogs"
but report them hard to find at
any price. It is our guess i.hat
more hogs will be fed this fall
than for some years past.
~ Cotton has been heavily dam-
laged by boll weevil. Thirty-one
counties in the heart of the cot-
ton region have reported light
to heavy damages from this cause.
Wet weather has also caused
j some damage to the crop. Some
■ fields have been abandoned on ac-
| count of being taken by grass.
| In some instances farmers have
' reported good results in combat-
ing weevil by plowing every five
or six days. The continued clear
summer weather of the last part
of week has checked this damage
to some extent.
An excellent crop of native hay
has been cut in the eastern and
northeastern counties, however,
reports reaching this office indi-
cate that in some localities, the
farmers are hesitating to bale the
,crop on account of low prices and
high freight rates.
The Broom Corn harvest is pro-
gressing nicely in the Lindsay dis-
trict. The state acreage is about
30 per cent below that harvested
| last year, but the quality of the
I brush seems better. Reports from
Garvin county state that the de-
mand and supply for labor are
about equal. An average of 20 to
30 cents per hour with board is
, being paid the "Johnies."
Up to July 27th, 125 cars of
melons had been moved from Ter-
ral, Oklahoma. The average daily
shipment from this point is betw-
leen 10 and 20 cars. Shipments
have also started at Rush Springs,
Acme, Agawam, Alex, Ryan, Nin-
nekah and Marietta. *
Pastures are in excellent condi-
tions throughout the state, and
livestock doing well. Every far-
mer who has grass and surplus j
rough feed should buy some good
| stock cows or heifers. You will
wonder why you did not get start-
ed while cattle was cheaper.
