of ftermath of that great struggle in
stead of the mere creations of a latter

piece is sombre. but the author knew his
public and did not fail to supply bright
situations and sparkles of comedy which
go far to tighten the recitation of the pa

OKLAHOMA COTTON MARKET.
Farmers Are Slow in the Matter Of
Selling Product.

0CiliI0 FEOONCkE
Guthrie o. T. Oct. 26.-Despite the fact
that there seems TO be plenty of cotton on
the market. yet the Oklahoma farmer
has never felt as much like holding his
product as he does this year. All over
Oklahoma it is possible to see bales of
cotton which win not be placed on the
market yet awhile. The Oklahoma farm
er feels that a better price viii prevail and
if it does he will have a few bales which
viii bring in a neat little sum a little
later on. The cotton crop of the United
States is reported short and the farmers
are well aware OF this condition-just as
well aware Of it as the buyer. The men
who are selling now are those who are
in need of money, and after this want is
supplied ii is likely that the sales will de-
crease. The acreage this year was very
much larger than ever before. This is
also true Of the Indian territory, and the
two territories combined viii make one
of the best producing sections when it
comes to cotton that the United States
has It is true that the need Of rain cut
the Oklahoma crop short to a certain ex-
tent. but there is still a large yield.
Congresses all over the country are
running TO their fun capacity and yet
there is much work to be done.
The Oklahoma experiment station has
conducted an enquiry concerning the cot
ton crop in parts Of Noble, Lincoln, Lo-
gan and. Payne counties. Eighty farmers
in these counties were interviewed. and
the results Of their experience and obser-
vations with this crop have been sum
married.. Ten per cent of tbs number
regarded this crop as improbable. The
average area devoted TO cotton was 10
acres and the yield during the fan of 1899
varied from 800 to 500 pounds of seed cot
ton 20 the acre. This cotton was sold for
$3.50 to $2.50 per 100 pounds, with an esti-
mate profit Of from s. TO SO per acre.
1t is the general opinion that the grow
ing Of a limited amount of cotton viii
prove continuously profitable. This crop
has its place in the great diversification
of crops possible here. and there seems to
be no tendency towards making the mis-
take Of going into exclusive cotton cul-
ture
Cotton may be grown with profit
throughout Oklahoma and the acreage
is being rapidly increased. The average
yield per acre is equal to that of any
other cotton producing section; the fiber
is Of superior quality, equal to the best
sea-island grades and commands an ad-
vance price over southern cotton.
The cotton crop of the territory in 1893
brought into the territory over 5000 600
of new money. while the seed products
kept four large oil mills in operation,
making large shipments of oil and many
thousands of cattle were fattened upon
the blllls and oil meal
