Cotton Yield vii, II. I,.,r,.

Oklahoma CITY, Mark my predic-
tion and see what kind OF a prophet |
am said Manager J. I. IIumphrics Of
the Southwestern Cotton Seed Oil mill.
81 am predicting the production OF
more cotton in Oklahoma this year
than last. The yield per acre will not
be as great as last year. The big prices
OF last year stimulated cotton planting
and caused many farmers TO turn corn
land into cotton. The increase caused
by the opening Of new farms is also
considerable. Farmers in the cotton
belt are every year increasing the size
of their clear fields, and that, too, is
another reason for increase in acreage
that cannot be overlooked. The cotton
crop is really in fair condition and will
make good average yield"
