FINE WEEK FOR WHEAT-S0WING
Weather Being Clear, After Rains
HadPrepared the Soil


Oklahoma City. o. T., Sept. 29.-Follow-
ing is the Oklahoma weather and crop
report for the week ending Monday, Sep
TENDER %: Clear, warm days, cool nights
and a general absence of precipitation
have been the prevailing weather condi-
tons during the week; the average tenn
perature, 6S.4 degrees, was 1.3 below the
normal. Throughout the western coun-
ties, over the greater part of the central
section and the western part of abe Chick
asaw Nation, the heavy rains of the pre-
ceding week put the ground in good con-
ditiOn for wheat seeding; and during the
entire week this work was pushed with
the utmost vigor. Some farmers have
aheir wheat all in. The early planting is
up and looks well Generally throughout
the nations dry weather has delayed seed
ing and may result in a very small acre
age being sown, as much ground is yet
unplowed. With the exception of the
western counties, a general and heavy
rain is needed, both for the wheat in the
ground and to enable farmers to finish
blowing and seeding. A few correspond
ents report a slight improvement in cot
ton, due to the rains of the preceding
weeks, and if no frost occurs until late
in the season a light CROP in some locali-
ties, may yet be assured. Cotton picking
has, under favorable conditions contin-
ued during the week; the crop as whole
will be lighter than for many years. In
few localities wheat remains yet to be
threshed, but generally this work has been
completed. Kaffir corn is mostly in the
shock, and corn is being cribbed. Apples
have been improved by the rains, except
in the Choctaw Nation, where the fruit
is still rotting and dropping from the
trees

r., in prefacfng his address to the vet
Grams at the state reunion today, spoke Of
the now famous controversy Of the A.
R. with the Dewey parade managers. He
began by characterizing those having the
big parade in charge as ''narrow-minGed
blunderers, clothed with little brief au-
thority." He then reviewed the whole
trouble, going over the details which have
already been printed.

Dewey would be invited to visit the Thir-
ty-fourth national encampment, to be held
at Chicago in 1900, where the veteran sur
vivors would express their admiration for
him in their own way and unhampered.
The veterans then adopted the follow
ing:
