and Crop Reports


Oklahoma City, okla, April z 1902.
The crop season Of 1901, closed
with fall wheat ali sown. and coming
up in fair condition The crop was
sown n dusty soil, and was surround
ed by drouthy condition that contin-
ued throughout the fall and winter
months; despite this. however the
plant made at first sturdy growth,
and during a good portion of the
winter afforded pasturage to the
stock. During January a general de-
terioration occurred owing to the
continued cold weather and effects
of heavy pasturage, and during that
month, and February the early sown
soft wheat failed rapidly in condition,
but the late sown, and hard wheat,
though brown and dead in appear
ance. continued green at their roots.
During Marcn heavy AID copious
rains set in, and the wheat revived
RAPIDLY owing to their beneficial ef-
fec.s. and the added warmth and sun
shine OF the following periods, so
that now the crop is In such a con-
dition that very fair yieldmay be
anticipated From the reports re-
ceived the expectation is for a half
to an average yield over the various
localities Of the section. Many fields
of early sown wheat. where the plant
is thin on the ground, are being re
planted to corn,
oats were sown during March un.
der, favorable conditions, and are up
to good stand.

well advanced. though delayed some
by wet ground
Pastures are greening up, and over
some localities stock is out on range;
generally, stock ls thin, but doing
well.

coming UP well, an Increased acre
age is reported.

ground ia fine condition, and th'
preparation Of cotton ground is In

the season under very favorable con
ditions, and the outlook is promising

READY WIT AS USED
BY MEN OF EMINENCE

As a specimen Of ready wit II would
be difficult to beat the retort of Chas.
Burleigh, the great opponent OF the
slave trade. says the Baltimore Sun.
He was In the middle OF one OF his
eloquent denunciations OF slavery
when a well-aimed and rotten egg
struck him full In the face.
This" he said, calmly, as he pro.
duced his handkerchief and wiped his
face, is striking evidence of what
| have always maintained, that pro-
slavery arguments are unsound."
The late John Bright was frequent.
ly happy in repartee. Once. In the
course of speech which was punctu.
ated by Interruptions. he was saying:
Personally I do not feel disposed to
wage war against these Philistines, y
when an unruly member of his au.
dience shouted. "Hee.haw!"i" If. how.
ever" Mr.. Bright continued without
pause. my friend at the back OF the
hall will lend me one OF his Jaws I
shall be encouraged to reconsider my
attitude. In view Of the historic sue.
cess of Samson when provided with a
similar weapon.
A good example Of the witty answer
that turns away wrath was furnished
by the Able de Voisenon, who had
been unfortunate enough to offend
the great Condo and TO lose his favor.
When the Able went TO court to make
his peace with the offended prince the
latter rudely turned his back on him
Thank heaven, SIR" the Able ex
claimed. Il have been misinformed
your highness does not treat me as II
I were an enemy"
why do you say that" the Prince
demanded.
Because. SIR" answered the Able
your highness never turns your back
on an enemy"
The great Duke OF Wellington an
swered a similar insult with equal, Il
more crushing. cleverness. When tn,
French king introduced one of his
field marshals to Wellington. the field
marshal turned his back on his former
enemy and conqueror. Louis Philip
pc was naturally indignant. and apollo
gized to the duke for such rude beha
vior.
