CAN Okl.AIIOM V GROW HEMP!
Kansas is agitating the growing of
hemp to do away with the binding
twine trust.
Can't Oklahoma grow hemp?
With all the expert agriculturists
and the many agricultural papers, it
seems, from reading the reports of the
first and the articles of the second
that not much headway is being made
about introducing new crops that have
not yet been found indigenous to the
toil and the climate by the ordinary
non-scientific farmer.
It has always been a remembered
marvel to the editor of the Register
that a Ijogan County negro first found
that cotton could be grown in Okla-
homa proper and that he h^d a hard
time to convince the Board of Trade
tellectual human being.
The address by tS>upt. Scott of the
Jc|ty schools revealed his thorough
understanding of the development of i
the child. He mentioned the various :
periods of child life and the general
characteristics of each.

UMJW COI'NTY' BOY WINS HIGH-
EST COTTON PRE MUM.
William Hayes of Ix)gan county has
been awarded a scholarship in the
Oklahoma A. & M. college, good for
$12 for establishing the highest grade
made by a member of the Etoys' Cot-
ton Club of Oklahoma in 1916. The
Oklahoma Cottonseed Cruchers' asso-
ciation will provide the scholarship,
available next fall.
William grew 2,372 pounds of seed
cotton on an acre of ground, earning
a net profit of $143.22. He had the
second highest yield and the third
highest profit in the state. The con-
test was based on yield, profit, exhib-
it and report.
There were 1,236 boys enrolled in
the cotton clubs in 1916. Of this num-
ber 465 made complete reports of the
years work. The average yield per
acre on the 465-acre plats was 941.9
pounds of seed cotton. The average
acre yeild obtained toy adult farmers
of the state was 480 pounds. It cost
the boys of the cotton club an average
of $27.47 to produce the crop and the
average acre profit was $60.67. There
