OKLAHOMA CROP
CONDITIONS GOOD~
J. A. Whitehurst, President
Board of Agriculture. Says Soil
Moisture is Ample.
General wiather and crop cor.
lions the l*st two weeks f the
mottth were moderately warm with
the exception of the snow <torm per-
•od from the J«th to 'he 20th. The
depth of snow varied from 6 inches in
(he northwest to 18 inches' in the e*-:
center, while the temperature imn*ed
froM 10 to 20 deirret - above zero on j
the iro.ninsr of the 20th. Soil mois-
tur ia ample everywhere and plow-
ing and sowing of oats ami barley are
making good progress. There is a
freatly increa.-ed interest in truck
garden* and jnore self-support thru
the cow-sowfowl route. More sep-
arator- are being bought and incuba-
tor* have been started; more meat
and lard than usual have been put up.
There seems to be an inclination to
return to first principles of producing
everything that we need in Oklahoma.
No .state in the union is as well ad-
apted and diversified in its products
as Oklahoma.
Wheat sown in September has gen-
erally stooled better than the later
sown, but has made good root. There
is much uneasiness over the possible
damage from the green-bug. The ap-
pearance of the parasites which or-
dinarily hold the green-bug in check
has been noted both in Texas and Ok-
ahotna. The frees* of the 20 th seems
to have had some effect upon the
more recently born green-bug with'
out noticeably affecting the mature
stage. Reports of green-bugs on vol
unteer wheat and oats are fairly well
scattered all over the state, but they
have done very little actual damage
so far but three or four week in ad-
vance of usual time for them to cause
damage to wheat in Okfchoma. The
growing condition of wheat is good;
the snow was of great benefit
Some reports show a falling off of
oats acerage due to fear of the green-
bug, but others indicate an increased
amount of seeding. A number of
farmers are sowing sweet clover In
Price The Big Theme
Barley is doing very well. One re-
porter states that this year corn will
be grown only on corn land.
Much of the cotton still in the fields
is being plowed under. Land-owners
are not insisting on so much cotton
from renters, but are allowing a
greater acerage of food and feed
crops.
A greater I'<*ato acerage is in pros-
pect. Planting is well started. Grow-
ers are urg%l to treat both white and
sweet potatoes to control scab and
black rot.
Pasturage and livestock are in
satisfactory condition. A farmer in
Woodward County reports a return
of (100.00 during January from eggs
and butter fat and concludes that this
is the best way to market his kafir
crop. Kafir was bringing 25 cents;
eggs 35; butter fat 38.
The Chamber of Commerce of Guy
mon has started a campaign to in
crease the hens to 60,000 in Texas
County this year.
A campaign for better and greater
dairying and poultry industry is the
slogan of that county.
All Pure Bred and dairy cattle mus
be tested for Tuberculosis before
either being shown at a fair or of-
fered at a sale.
