Cotton Outlook Pleasing
Despite The Late Start
Despite the fact that cotton is late. I
the state board of agriculture is not |
despondent concerning the 1920 crop 1
outlook. It is recalled that the year J
1914 started out with a low aver t*e ;
of 21'2 pounds of lint to the acre.'
Likewise in 1919, at this date, prac-
tically the same percentage of condi-
tion prevailed, yet. the crop was very
gratifying at harvest time.
The latest report of the department
of agriculture also shows a big im-
provement in the condition of winter
wheat, with a prospect for a 35,000,-
000 bushel crop, whereas, on May 1,
the outlook was for onlv about three-
fourths this output. The acreage is
about " 500.000, but the yield is not
expecte.. to be so great per acre as in
1914, when the same acreage was
harvested. Th" average v'eld in 19t4
was better than 19 bushels tier acre.
Last vear the average yield was 14
bushels. Farmers are preparing to
warehouse the crop for a while, ow-
inc to the shortage in cars.
There is a decrease of about fi per
OKLAHOMA LEADS AIL
cent in the oat crop acreage this
year, but the condition of the crop im-
proved greatly during the past month.
Harvest is undev way and the crop
is showing up well in yield.
The barley harvest is well advanced,
with prospects of a large production.
The average condition of barley over
the state is 85 per cent normal. Rye
also shows up well anil harvest is be-
ginning.
Meadows are reported good in all
sections of the state except in the
northwest, where thev are generally
only fair. Meadows in this immedi-
ate section are in fine condition, from
all reports.
Alfalfa, says the department of ag-
riculture, was handicanped to some
extent bv the high price of seed this
year, $25 per bushel. The condition
of the crop, however, is 90 per cent
normal.
Pastures are improved during the
ras' month unt'l thev are as good as
■ n the best years, it is declared
They are furnishing abundant feed.

Hartshorne is to get a brick plant
with heavy financial backing, approx-
imating $100,000. The plant will be
located at old No. 8 shaft, and shale
brick manufactured. Ike Hilton, of
Hartshorne, is the prime mover in the
deal, and the machinery will be in-
stalled by the American Clay pro-
ducts Company.
F. F. Linders, for 19 years a resi-
dent of Hartshorne, shot and killed
himself last week. He was a tinner
by trade. He was alone in the room
when he committed the act of suicide,
and his body was found in a crumpled

to meet, which was cajsing him wor-

Well, that's what she is doing.
For instance, while Kansas leads
all other states in the volume of
wheat raised, Oklahoma's wheat crop
averaged a better price per acre than
Kansas wheat by 75 cents, last year.
