Oklahoma iCty, o. T., Sept. Follow
ing is the Oklahoma weather crop bulle-
tin for the week ending Monday. Aug
80:
There was eloudiness, warmer weather
until Sunday evening and cloudy and
cooler with light local rains Sunday night
and Monday. The average temperature
| for the week, 81, is three degrees above
normal. The continued dry weather has
interferred with blowing to some extent
and been rather hard on pastures and
forage crops, which would be greatly
benefited by heavy rains, but has been
favorable for cotton, for gathering broom
| corn and castor beans and for haymak-
ing and threshing.
| Threshing has continued without in
terruptian and probably half Of the wheat
and oats has been threshed. Most of
it has been put into granaries and very
| little upon the market.
Cotton has grown rapidly during the
| week, and gives fine promise. The crop
| is now practically made and picking has
begun in southern Chickasaw Nation and
will be general next week. The first
bale Of cotton was marketed al Ard
| more on the 18th, Guthrie on the 18th and
| OVQrhr0nk IN ba In
| tons Of the Chickasaw Nation early cot
ton has shed 70 some extent and from
| one or two sections the late crop is in
! jured by drouth. but generally in the In
| dian territory the entire crop is up to
! or above the average. Throughout the
| cotton belt in Oklahoma the crop is very
fine and by far the best ever grown.
Special reports have been received from
every section where cotton is grown and
all report it to be excellent. Thel light
| rains Sunday night and Monday will
benefit the crop, but heavy rains now
would be injurious.
