Oegrees During Week,

Drying Ijfe
OKLAHOMA CITY, AUGUST 21.—No
rain fell during the week. Hot, dry, and
dusty weather prevailed with high south-
erly winds, which rapidly evaporated the
water from the streams, and moisture
from the ground, and produced drouthy
conditions over all portions, being more
marked over the northern half of tho sec-
tlou.
All late crops are suffering for rain and
are being bad!y damaged.
Temperatures ranged from 100 to 09 de-
gnan over the eastern division; over the
central division from lu3 to 67 degress;
over the western division from 102 to 67
degrees.
Threshing continued, but slowly, on ac-
count of high winds, with good yields re-
ported.
Hay harvesting continued and was se-
cured In good condition, but If drouth con
tinues will be stopped shortly, as tho
grass is drying up rapidly and burning
over some localities. Prairie tires have
occurred during the week.
Pastures are very short, and stock feed
ing has commenced; stock water Is scarce
and streams are drying up, but cattle
continue to do well.
The early corn Is made, and a large
portion has been cut and shocked; the
late corn has been badly damaged by tho
drouth. Fodder corn owing to Its drying
out so rapidly will be cut short. Kaffir
corn, cane and broom corn are being cut,
with fair to good yields reported; tho sor-
ghum Is of aj) extra quality.
Cotton, generally, Is suffering from the
drouth, and commencing to shed Its top
bolls; over some localities serious dam
age Is reported, especially In the Choctaw
tint Ion. Small amount of. cotton have been
picked and marketed during the week
Plowing is well advanced, but farther
progress has been stopped by the hard
condition of the ground.
Lajte fruit Is drying up and dropping
and unless it rains soon will bo badly
damaged.
Late vegetables, turnips, potatoes are
nearly ruined, and will not ajnount to
much.
Following are the reports frorm tho dif-
ferent portions of the sections by nations

two preliminary steps are necessary: The
closing of tho roles and the appraisement
of tho lands. The appraisement of the
lands is in progress and will be com-
pleted ln< tho Choctaw, Chickasaw and

months.
Tho SumJnolo census, preparatory to
making the final rolls of citizens, was
taken by the Dawes commission), some
two years ago. Under tho law under
which tho commission was then proceed-

RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENTS
AT COLLEGE STATION.
•STILLWATER, O. T., AUGUST 20—
The result of trials at the Stillwater
experiment station and the practical
experience of wheat growers all over
the iiory show that early plowing
an 1 early sow for wheat have giv-
en the highest yields and the bexit
wheat. At the experiment station wheat
on ground plowed on July 19 yielded
a little more than twice as much as
tha't plowed on September 11, the seed-
ing in both cases being done on Sep-
tember 15. The explanation of this
13 that the early plowed land is In con-
dition to absorb and retain the mois-
ture while that which has jupt been
plowed Is not In good condition for the
germination of the seed.
Wheat seeding September 15 yielded
37; October 15, 35; and November 15,
23 bushels per acre. The early seed-
ing was much less affected by rust
than 'the late seeding. These results
agree with those of former years. Seed-
ing should be completed before the mid-
dle of October and better results will
be obtained from seeding from the mid-
dle to the last of September.
As to varWtlcs the hard wheats as a
rule are preferred in the western half
of the territory and soft wheats in the
eastern. At the Station the high-st
yield, 44.52 bushels per acre, was ob-
tained from Sibley's New Golden; the
lowest, 37.70, from Big English, Ger-
man Emperor. Pickaway, Red Russian,
Early Itlpe, Fulcaster, New Red Won-
der, Fultz, Missouri Blue Stem, and
Early Red Clawson, all gave satisfac-
tory yields. All of these varieties are
medium early, but with a few days dif
ference in the time of heading and rip-
ening. The seed is kept up to high
standard by careful selection and gra-1
ing each year. If more fanning mills
were used in the preparation of seed
wheat, there would be less complaint
of varieties "running out" and less de-
mand for new varieties.
