are so plentiful and SO easily billed that
they measure them by the bushel. Thus
we read of some boys who in two days
killed and sent to town thirty-five bushel
of rabbits. which they sold at two for a

good one in Kansas.

SCHOOL BOOK COMPETITION,
Grant County Takes the Lead In the
Matter Of Uniformity.

The refusal Of Governor Ferguson
to sign the school text book bill lob.
bied through the last legislature by
the agents of the American Book com
pany, left Oklahoma open to more
general competition among school
companies than prevailed while lae
American Book company controlled
the trade. This company enjoyed a
monopoly, and since the adjournment
of the legislature, leaving the terri
tory without a school text book law
citizens have been curious to know
whether the new conditions would be
to their advantage. Grant county has
taken the lead, and if 1 trict school
directors indorse what has been done
the county will have uniformity in text
books, at possibly no greater cost than
the schedule prices of the different
companies. The county superintend-
ent appointed a committee composed
of himself and five teachers from
ferent portions of the county to select
list of text books. This list in turn
was submitted to the Grant County
Teachers association and recommend
ed by that organization to the district
school directors. The books we're di,
vided amons book companies as fol-
lows: Natural geography, MaxwelPs
grammar, Overton's physiology, Amer
lean Book company; Reeds spoilers,
Judson & Bender's readers, Maynard,
Merrill g. Co; Walsh's arithmetic,
Thomas history, natural writer's and
copy books. D. c. Heath & Co. 1t is
claimed that exchange rates granted

cost to school patrons.

Monster Crops Reported
In all Counties

Dispatches to The Leader from sew
eral excellent crop raising counties Of
the territory indicate that the crop
conditions at present are highly sat
isfactory especially so in regarding
wheat and oats. The continued wet
weather during May delayed the plant
ing Of cotton and corn, and 70 some
extent damaged the wheat, but the
month Of June has more than made up
for the losses incurred.
Oklahoma will have a larger wheat
yield than Inst year. which was consid-
cred the banner crop. The acreage IS
much larger. but the number Of bush
els to the acre is smaller. There are
fewer berries to the head, but, on the
other hand, the quality is the finest in
the territory's history.
The average per acre will fall be-
low twenty bushels, but the test will
average better than sixty-three pounds
The total yield is now estimated at 40.
100000 bushes. Much of the crop is
now cut and threshing is in progress.
There is a big increase in the oats
acreage. and the condition is placed at
100 per cent. The quality is excellent.
The crop is ripening and cutting will
begin next week
The corn acreage is short This is
due in great part to the prolonged
wet weather at planting time. The
crop is all late planted, and 1t is fear
ed that the hot weather of August will
catch the crop at a stage when it will

plant has the best Of color Last
years crop was 65,O00,OOO and esti-
mates place this years considerably
lower than that
The same conditions exist regard
ing cotton. 1t is all late planted, con
sequently about half the original
acreage. The prospects are not good
The continued sale of Oklahoma
farms to northern farmers is decreas-
ing the cotton acreage and increasing
that of wheat, corn and oats.
The potato acreage last year (10,-
00O), fell off but little this year, on
account of late planting The yield
is very satisfactory.
The acreage Of broomcorn is doubis
that OF any other year, and the stand
is good.
