CORN IN OKLAHOMA C
EXCEEDS COnON iN VALUE BY $15,
000,000. IT'S A PROLIFIC
STATE,
Guthrie, Okla.,—The general be-!
lief that cotton is king in Oklahoma I
and that the state is distinctively a
cotton raising country is refuted by
official figures from the state board !
of agriculture which shows that
corn is the leading crop in Oklaho-
ma. The acreage of corn in 10081
was 4,241,(113, as against a cotton
acreage of 1,610,453, and the value of
the cotton crop falls $24,000,000
short of the value of the corn crop
in Oklahoma this year. '
As the cotton crop was cut short j
this year and the corn crop was
Rood, a comparison of the value of
the corn crop this year with the cot-
ton yield of which was more
nearly normal, will be more fair.
Even this comparison, however,
shows that the value of the corn
crop exceeds by over $15,000,000 that
ot the cotton yield.
CAN RAISE MOST ANYTHING.
Oklahoma will never be a great
state in point of raising one crop
which will overshadow all others,
in the opinion of agriculturists.
Nearly every product known to the
science of agriculture, with the ex-
ception of those that are confined
entirely to tropical and semi-tropi-
cal regions, can be raised in Okla-
homa. Fully aware of this fact,
Oklahoma farmers, with the en-
couragement of the state board of
agriculture and the state agricul-
tural college, are rapidly adopting
diversified farming. This cuts
down the showing of the state as t<
the yield of any one product, but
boosts the total valuation ot its
crop products and adds greatly to
the prosperity of the farmers.
There are only tour counties of
the state that do not raise cotton
and these lie in the northern tier of
counties. They are Cimarron, No-
wata, Ottawa and Washington.
LINCOLN BANNER COUNTY.
The banner cotton county of the
state in point of acreage and num-
ber of bales produced is Lincoln
county, which had an acreage this
year of 90.33H and produced 20,920
bales. The banner corn county of
the state is Caddo, with an acre-
age of 183,025, and a yield of 0,006,225
bushels. Corn is produced in
every county in the state. There
are seven counties of the state
from which no acreage of wheat is
reported, Atoka, Love, McClain,
Murray, Nowata, Pottowatomie and
Rogers, all in the part of the state
formerly Indian Territory except-
ing Pottowatomie. •
One county, Nowata,* raised
neither corn nor cotton this year
according to the report. This coun-
ty is in the heart of the oil and gas
producing section.

OKLAHOMA CITY TIMES OFFERS CHRIST-
BAR6AINS
The Oklahoma City Times has an-
nounced the flat t-ring subscripticn
offer for the holidays.
$2.95 will get the Daily Times
from January 1, 11)0!), to January 1,
1910. The regular subscription
price is $4 a year. The reduction
is a marvelous one, made in the
face f the fact that news print- is
steadily on the increase, and that
the probabilities are that the an-
nual subscription price will be ad-
vanced to $lj before the end of the
year.
In addition to their large and
competent corps of state corres-
pondents The Times has a special
staff man now in Washington—one
of the best newspaper men in the
oountry. A staff man will be sent
to Guthrie as soon as soon as the
legislature convenes, and The
rimes will not spare time or ex-
pense to make this paper the state-
wide medium.
The Times expects soon to have
i home of its own, and one of the
largest and be-,t newspaper presses
that ever • line to the state has al-
ready been purchased.
Now is the time to subs( ribe and
take advantage of the lowest oiler
you will probably ever receive in
lewspaperdom in this country. Re-
mit $2.95 direct to The Times' office
in Oklahoma City, or you may hand
•is $i.45 and receive The Publicist
and the Daily Times both for one
year for S3. IS.

The First
Quarrel
It is said they all go through it
some time or other, generally the
early part of the married state. Here
is the way it was:
They had been married two weeks
and were settled in a Harlem Hat. Ho
sat in the Morris chair, smoking with
apparent contentment, but there were
signs that he was a hit restless. She
idly picked up the evening paper and
glanced over it, but no divorce suits
were chronicled at any length and
there were no new affinity eases—
tactically nothing but whole pages of
politics, so she tossed the paper away.
There were a few desultory observa-
tions from each other, hut. strange to
say, it seined a trifle difficult to keep
a conversation going. Of course there
was the eternally fruitful topic of
themselves and what each meant to.
the other, but this subject had been
so thoroughly discussed during their
honeymoon that neither f«'lt exactly
like taking it tip again now. They
were trying now to ignore their new-
ness to each other and wanted to seem
settled and married-like. So there
was a hint of uncertainty, a vague
uneasiness in the air. Hubby glanced
at his bride as if he felt that in his
capacity as head of the household and
her lord and master it was up to him
to do or say something or other, but
he didn't know what.
He glanced at her again. Their eyes
met, and instantly each looked off
son*where in an attempt not to seem
self-conscious. Finally he spoke.
"Would you like to go to a show this
evening?"
"Why. I don't know; do you want
to go?" inquired the bride sweetly.
"Why, no, not but i
thought maybe you'd like to go." ^
"Why, yes, I'd like to go if you
think you'd care to."
"Well, I don't particularly wish to;
but I thought if you felt as if you
wanted to see a show, why, we'd go."
"But I don't want to drag you out
with you looking so comfy and fixed!"
protested the bride affectionately.
"How absurd!" Raid hubby fondly.
"That doesn't matter if you think you
would like to go out."
"Hut I don't want to go if you're
coming along Just because you think
you're pleasing me."
"Nonsense! Why, I want to go if
you want to go." "
"Yes, that's just it! Hut I don't*
want to go unless you do."
"Hut then it. will give me no partic-
ular pleasure to go to a show unless
I know you are enjoying it."
"Why, of course 1 will enjoy it if
you're along."
"All right, then," said he promptly.
"Come on and we'll go."
"Hut just now," said she anxiously,
' you said you didn't particularly care
to; I am sure I shouldn't want to go
unless I felt that you were getting as
much fun out ot it as 1."
"Fiddlesticks!" He said it a trifle
impatiently. "Now listen to me and
n iswer yes or no—do you or do you
i.ot want to go to a show?"
"Why, you know, Harry, I'd just
love to, but—"
All fight, then, we'll go!" ex-
claimed he a bit shortly, springing
to his feet.
"Mut I'd be perfectly miserable all
the time," said the bride, "thinking
that you'd come just to piease me, and
that we might, have had a cozy little
evening at home if—"
All right then, we won't go," man-
fully repressing an impulse to anger
and replying resignedly as he sat
down again.
He picked up the paper and pre-
tended to become immediately ab-
sorbed in it, settling back in his chair
with an air of patient but irrevocable
finality. Mrs. Hride glanced appeal-
ing!} at him, but his face was stony
and gave her no comfort. She sat
perturbed and anxious, feeling as if
something dreadful had happened. A
deathlike silence ensued for perhaps
two minutes. Mrs Bride then broke
it fearfully.
"Harry," she said, "I feel perfectly
dreadful—as if you were terribly an-
gry at me. Hut you are not, are you?"
Pause I did think when you first
mentioned a show that It would be
nice to see John Drew. I've been Just
crazy to see him in that new play of
his, but I was not sure that—"
"Then you do want to go, after all?"
said her husband, laying down his pa-
per and staring across al her mystl-
fiedly.
"Why, I always love #to go to the
theater, but—" *
"Then, for heaven's sake, come on
and let's go!" #
So they went, ffut neither enjoyed
the play, because Harry was grump-
ish and his wife was hurt. On their
ret tin* n Harry stumbled over something

and the bride's feelings gave way im-
mediately. Then ensued their first
quarrel. It is said they all go through
it some time or Tither, generally in the
early part of the married state.
