CAMPBELL TAKES 25
HOGS TO THE FAIR
A B Campbell, one of the most
extensive hog and cattle raisers in
Oklahoma, will exhibit a drove of
twenty-five of his superior Poland
China hogs at the State Fair and
Exposition at Oklahoma City be-
ginning this week. Mr. Campbell
was in town Saturday making all
arrangements, loading his car, etc.,
expecting to start Sunday afternoon
or Monday morning to have every-
thing in readiness by Tuesday which
is the opening date ef the fair.
Mr Campbell has some very fine
hogs in his drove and we predict
that he will succeed in carrying off

Crop conditions around Geary and
over southern Blaine county are
very satisfactory. A bumper crop
has not been raised by any means
but the average yields here are so
far in excess of those reported from
other parts of the state that Geary
people feel particularly optimistic
over the outlook.
The wheat yield was about twen-
ty bushels per acre, but little of
which has been marketed as yet the
farmers holding off for the sharp
raise which was confidently expect-
ed with the coming of autumn.
The oat yield was not so good on
the average as wheat, but the oat
acreage was comparatively small.
The feed crops have all turned
out well, many alfalfa fields yielding
three and four crops. Many silos
have been constructed in this end
of the county and most of them are
now filled with the feed stuff grown
during the summer.
i The corn crop is perhaps the
i most satisfactory of all, big acreage
was planted and the yield will be in
« i l A- l/Minf arm
bushel yield. J.A.Johnson, living
north of the city has a field of late
corn which he thinks will run sixty
bushels to the acre. Fred Strong
living west of town, expects thirty-
five bushels and many others are
reported who confidently expect
thirty to sixty bushel yields.
Business men who have canvassed
the corn situation here, estimate
that farmers around Geary will have
100,000 bushels of corn to sell this
fall, by far the greatest portion of
which will be marketed here.
The cotton crop was damaged by
the long summer drouth and prob-
ably will not yield in excess of one-
third bale per acre. The cotton
acreage is smaller than usual, how-
ever, being confined almost entire y
to the farms along the South Cana-
dian river bottom. The first bale
was brought to Geary over a month
ago by B. R. Nash, a negro living
northeast of Geary, but little cotton
is moving as yet. Prices of all kinds
are well up to the average for this
