If you want to live Id the land of

This is tho advice of J A Whit

Mr Whitehurst has Just com-
pleted the annual “invoice” of tho
crops for 1919 and this Is what
he eays:
“The annual Invoice of farm pro-
duction In Oklahoma for 1919 boa
been completed The balance sheet
shows gratifying results It makes
clear why the state is taking anoh
high rank In the production of
crops and live stock
Oklahoma’s prosperity Is not de-
pendent chiefly on corn wheat and
oats and In the corn belt Nor on
cotton as In the south Nor yet on
hay and potatoes as In the east Corn
1b over 50 percent of the total crop
value In some staffs Wheat Is over
50 percent of the total crop volne
In others and cotton is more than
50 percent in still others A failure
In one of these crops Is disastrous
to the state Our leading crop is
only 36 percent of the total crop
value of the state Hence failure
in one or two crops affects us leas
seriously We not only grow the
leading field crops of most sections
but for many of them our farmers
get more dollars income per acre
than the average of either the Unit-
ed States or of the state that
leads In production of the crop
“The price per acre of our aver-
age plow nand Is shown to be half
that Of "the United State - though '
the acre Income from crops exceeds
the average of the whole United
States Our fanners have made the
remarkable record in 1919 of pro-
ducing more dollars per acre from -our
12 leading crops than the esti-
ated price of the land on which
these crops grew
"Oklahoma ranks 10th among
the states in total value of crops
