LEE R. PATTERSON.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.—The
splendid crop prospects for the
present year again are shown in the
I monthly report of the state depart-
ment of agriculture, Issued Friday.
Not only are conditions far better
j than they were in 1911, hut Improve-
j ntent is noted from month to month
i In the present season.
Concerning the Bhowing this month,
Secretary lien Ilennessy of the state
board, made the following statement:
' The state board of agriculture
j finds from Its various correspondents
I over thte Btate that the growing cpn-
I (lltlon of wheat is 84.7 percent, as
; compared to 84.6 percent one month
! ugo; oats 83.8 percent as compared
with 88.2 percent at the same time
with a growing condition of wheat
one year ago at 65 percent and oats
much lower.
"The growing condition of alfalfa
one year ago was 85 per cent, against
that of 92.7 percent at the present
time. There Is this year an Increased
acreage of more than 25,000 over last
year and the conditions, are Ideal for
Its development.
"Cora shows a growing condition
of 74.1 percent. This Is a trifle low
for this period, as the farmers In
various portions of the state were
forced to replant the crop two and
three times, occasioned by the ex
cesstve rains at planting time The
report shows that 24 4 percent of tlte
crop haH been replanted
"Fruit prospects in the state gener-
ally were never better. The report
shows apples, 74 8 percent; pears, 75.1
percent; plums, 75.8 percent; cherries,
71.1 percent, and peaches, 88.4 per
cent.
"The weather for fruit has been
Ideal, while the high winds of last
week blew some fruit from the trees,
•specially apricots, still no great harm
will come and In my Judgment will he
beneficial as the Voluptnoue blossom-
ing of this year placed more fruit
on the trees than they could support.
"Th» high w inds have caused little
damage to the growing crops as yet
although some eomplalnts have
reached the office. Iu my Judgment
It Is only an apprehension,
"In excessively sandy Helds the cot-
ton, owing to the tenderness of the
young plant, has been damage to some
degree by blowing soil. The long sea-
son for the maturing of this product
will easily make It possible to over-
come the slight destruction.
•'The Helds that were worked in-
dustriously, and the new moist earth
kept to the surface, suffered little
from the ravages of blowing sand
"The pastures are rich with growth
and the dairy productions will be far
fn excess of any year.
"The high price of poultry and eggs
has taught the farmer the Immense
profits that will accumulate from fhat
source and the small financial outlay
necessary for the propagation of fhe
Industry and will, 1 am sure, run the
sale of these products from a tittle
over two million dollars yearly to
over five million the present season
RETAILERS ASK LEGISLATION.
Asks Drafting of Bill Making Crooked
Ads Misdemeanor.
By unanimous vote .the directors of
the Retailers’ association went sguare-
ly on record as being actively opposed
to fake advertising. The record was
made when the report of a special com-
mittee to devise the best methods of
regulating advertising recommended
that a state law penalizing dishonest
publicity be urged. The committee
was composed of A. M. Goldstandt,
Mannie Herskowitz and J. O. Sev-
erns.
In compliance with the reoommenda-
tlon, J. E. Surratt, secretary of the
State Association of Retailers will a»k
every city in Oklahoma with a retail
ers' organisation to petition the next
legislature for a proper remedy, it Is
suggested that the offense be made a
misdemeanor and the right given to
any individual injured by reason of the
fake advertisement, to prosecute. This
will make the prosecutions decidedly
a province of the retailers’ association
in that It will give them an opportun
ity not alone to protect their custom-
era, hut to indirectly protect them-
selves against the fakers.
The movement has become almost
nation-wide among merchants. "Print-
ers Ink" recently published a form of
statute peculiarly applicable to the sit-
uation. This statute in effect was
adopted by the committee and it Is
probable the legislature will be asked
to formally incorporate it Into a law.
Prohibition Election Called in
This County
In accordance with the election
laws a prohibition election cannot
be held sooner than two years after
the last election was called. This
time restriction is not recognized
however, by the people recommend-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local * applications, as they cannot
roach the iliacascd portion of the ear.
There is only ono way to euro deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condi-
tion of tho mucous lining: of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
he-rlnff. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness Is the result, and unless the In-
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nlno
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which in nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
