GREAT RAINS
WIDESPREAD
IN OKLAHOMA
viii Bring NOuriShment TO a
Big Wheat Crop.
COL. PRRUTY TALKS WELL
of the Present Condition of
the Wheat Fields.

Guthrie. 0. T, March n-oklahoma
people are rejoicing today over a splen-
did rain which fell IN the territory last
night and a greater portion OF today.
This is the first heavy rain that Okla
homa in general has had for a number
of weeks and win bring the wheat to
the front rapidly. There has been an
exceptionally light snowfall during the
winter and this has retarded the growth
Of wheat to some extent. There IS a
conflict of opinion, as there always Is,
in regard to the condition Of wheat.
Persons who have been over the terri
tory and made examinations Of the fields
state that the soft wheat is injured TO
some extent, but that the hard wheat
viii pull through all right. The high
winds Of the past few days have blown
the soil away from the roots of the
wheat, but the length OF time between
the blowing of the soil away from the
roots of the wheat and this hard rain
has not been sufficient to cause much
damage from This source. Those per
sons more pessiInlstic than others have
predicted that so per cent Of the wheat
crop is failure and that in all events
there viii be a light crop.
Colonel Prouty a few days ago, made
the statement that in his work in the
territory as territorial grain inspector
he believed and found. as a basis for
such belief. that the wheat roots We're
all right in the majority of fields, regard
less of the fact that the plant was brown
above the ground. Some fields have
been injured by heavy pasturage, but
should there be sufficient moisture dur
ing the coming months. even these fields
win have a good yield
Leaving aside the good that the rain
viii do the wheat. it is just the thing
for the formers, in order that they can
prepare their ground for the spring plant
ing. Already much plowing has been
done and within few days spring work
win be on in fun blast. New plows and
other agricultural implements have been
taken out and the farmers are prepared
to make the most of their opportunities
this year.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY
Was Nipped in Time BY VigTIence of
=,

Oklahoma City, March 11.-But for the
vigilance Of John Reeh, VINO is at present
IN charge OF the county Jail during the
absence Of Peter Gideon. the regular turn
key. who is enjoying vacation. there
might have been jail delivery some
time after ten o'clock last evening About
the hour above stated Reeh heard sound
inside the Jail as if made by saw. There
is an opening into the jail from the room
in which the jailer sleeps. and peering
into one of the cells ne saw a man at
work with a saw. fling on one of the
bars. Reeh at once called ex-Oficer
Robinson, who is assistant guard for the
present, to keep watch on the man. While
Robinson was keeping watch on the jail
from the otuside Reeh entered the jail
corridor. After search for several min
ues the officer succeeded ia locating the
saw and recovering it. 1t is now in the
hands Of the prosecuting attorney. Bert
Moore is bad one and viii serve two and
q half years in the penitentiary at Ian
sing, Kan, for burglarizing Gerson Bros.
store some time ago. It IS not known
from what source the saw came and
Moore refuses to tell. tt is thought that
the saw was given him in some unseen
manner during the recent arraignmeut
Of the prisoners in the district court. The
county jail is not safe place and the
suggestion for a new Jail as advanced by
the last grand jury should be acted upon
at once.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS I'm
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.

Regina, AssinebCia, Canada, January
1Oth.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department.
of Agriculture is leading the way in E.
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
J. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average of 60 bushels per acre for
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwel1, of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a SO acre field, an average of SO bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of
wheat from a ten-acre plot, an average
of nearly 73 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels Of
oats from go acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication Of the actual yields
of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the western Canadian prairies.
