AUTO MECHANICIAN' ARRIVES
the Ford
It i.< extremely hard to figure much
on the 1917 crop, particularly ho on
wheat. The general impreaaion seems
to prevail among the large handlers
that the government ia going to issue
some kind 6f regulations in regard to
wheat and just what they might be
or um to how such regulations will
affect the price and general merchan-
dising is problematical. No one
seems to feel safe in venturing an
opinion.
The foreign governments appar-
, ently haven't touched a bushel of the
n<>w crop which is right now in pro-
cess of harvesting and to all appear-
anre.t will not do so until our govern-
M-nt rietines its position. S.nue of
the large handlers of grain an'l ex-
'orte s venture the assertion that un-
less the government defines its posi-
tion soon it will lie impossible to han-
dle the pr< sent wheat crop.
With the present indications that
the United States' whest crop will not
... | be more thwn fifty million bushel* in
r.lrective June 17th the Friaco will, excess of home requirements, and
suspend operation of certain traina on with orof wheat selling around

W. C. Waller, of Yale. Okla., ar-
rived in Claremore Tuesday evening
to assume the duties of mechanician
at the Ford garage, Third and Cata-
layah atreets. Mr. Waller's family !
will arrive next week at which time
tbey will go to housekeeping.
Mr. Waller ia a graduate of the
Kay Automobile school of K
City, and has been with Mr. Piatt in
Glencoe for the last three years. He
returned to hia home Wednesday, but
will be in Claremore again Monday
to begin the work in the new machine
room of the Ford agency.
WILL TAKE OFF TRAINS JUNE
17TH
lahoma indicate that farmers far the
moat part would be unwilling to sell
under $1.75 to 92.00; and in some in-
stances their ideas seem to be higher
than thia. It has been an expanaive
crop to raiae and on a baaia of aver
age wheat around 12.00 thia year is
apparently not an extreme level when
all the facts are conaidered.
Th early marketinga will appar-
ently bring good values, but there ia
much diversity of opinion aa to the
ultimate or stable basis upon which
t!ie tree movement of wheat will be
hail. At the present time a $2 basis
for number two wheat seema not an
unreasonable t<asis for the early mar-
ketings, depending upon juat when
tlie movement might be well under
way.
<-pinions differ somewhat on oats.
Fastem Oklahoma will harvest a
targe oats crop—possibly the largest
in its history. The western and
southwestern parts of the state are
not so fortunate. It is hoped that
the bulk of the crop will not sell un-
der GO cents, though some have
'•leas of 40 cents; and it is barely pos-
inatancea values
some
ftlightly
higher than 59
progress of
much influ-
aible that
might be
cent*.
The price of corn and p.
growing crops will exert mucl.
ence on oats. A dry period damaging
the corn crop would naturally tend to
enhance the value of oats; while oo
the other hand should the present
I rospects for corn reach full maturity
there probably would not be mucn
enhancement in oats values.
