cents over night according to a
statement from Strickland's cream

The decline in butter fat prices a
few weeks ago was quite a disap-
' pointment to the numerous farmers
of the territory who had prepared
to separate their cream and sell it
but the present increase ought to be
I a big encouragement to them.

Smaller Livestock Values
In a recent report at the crop re--porting
department an interesting
study in the average decrease per
head of farm animals is shown.
.From January 1. 1920 to January 1.
1322 the average decreases per head
-was hh follows: Horses $39.00; mules
$55.00; milk vows $29.00; other cat-
rtle $18.90; sheep $6-40 and hogs
:$6-G0. Cattle other than Milk Cows
aold for $JI!.40 in 1920 and brine
$I7.C0 now. The average price of
bogs in 1920 was $15.10; the pres-
ent prior is estimated at $8.50. The
total value of animals on farms in
Oklahoma on January 1 1922 was
$11189700000 as compared with
42J.(T43G000.00 in 1920 on the same
.date. A decrease of approximately
..$105000000.00.
l'rires For 'Farmer
A number of instances are reported
over the State wherein hanks and
a pure-bred Duroc-
then he
tended to her and her offspring. Up
to the first of this year he had taken
$700 in money profits had a large
herd of hogs left besides a string of
good cows all from ONE good gilt.
His story in detail would fill this
page and read like a fairy tale but
is alt true and any boy can do as
well.
Rotation Is Hetter
l'rofessor Murphy of the Oklaho-
mu Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion gives the yields of oats in con-
tinuous culture and also the yields
obtained from rotation. The rotation
consisted of cotton darso. a legume
and oats. Certain plots received no
treatment others had manure added
to them in an amount equivalent
to that obtained by feeding the crop
and others had the stalks straw and
vines returned to the soil. The re
sults given are an average of five
years the length of time which the
experiment has been going.
Rotation gave a yield of 40.89 bush-
els and continuous culture gave a
yield of 39.58 bushels per acre thus
showing that the rotation gave a
yield of 7.3 bushels more than the
continuous culture. Returning the
