CROP REPORT
ISSUED
By State Board Review
Of Conditions Ia
Cfafn

Guthrie, Okla, Sept THE Okla
homa State Board of Agriculture finds
from the reports ofits township CORE.
spondengs that on Aug 25 the growing
condition of corn was 55.7 per cent
as compared with 64.4 per cent last
month and 80 per cent for the month
ending June 25, showing a decrease as
compared with last month OF 81 per
cent. The growing condition Of corn
on the same date last year was 1876
per cent, difference in favor of the
crop last year at this date of 17.9 per
cent. The growing condition of cotton
on Aug. 25 was 5S.2 per cent as com
pared with 1853 per cent last month,
or a decrease Of III per cent. The
growing condition of cotton on the
same date last year was 69.7 per cent,
or a difference in favor Of the crop
of 1908 Of 11.5 per cent. The growing
condition Of cowpeas is 81 per cent
as compared with S7.4 per cent year
ago, showing the condition for 1908
to be 30.4 per cent above that for this
year.
The growing condition of broom corn
corn on Aug. 25 was 49.1 per-
cent as compared with IA per cent
last month, or decrease of 24.9 per
cent in thirty days The growing con
dition of broom corn on this date last
year was 75.S per cent
The growing condition Of kaffir corn
on Aug. 25 was 55.7 per cent as com
pared with S15 per cent . year ago
The growing condition Of milo maize
was 65.4 per cent as compared with
S3.4 per cent last year
That proportion of native meadow
cut for hay is shown to be 63.2 per
cent as compared with 6S per cent last
year.
The general conditions throughout
the state have been exceedingly un-
favorable to the growth of our staple
crops. All crops have suffered from
the extreme drouth and intense heat.
Tho condition of corn has decreased
ST. per cent, cotton III per cent,
broom corn, 24.9 per cent. spring sown
alfalfa 17.9 per cent and fall sown al
falfa 1876 per cent, showing the great
est deterioration in the crop of broom
corn. Notwithstanding the fact that
the condition of the fodder crops, such
as cowpeas, kaffir and milo, have a
relatively higher per cent of growing
condition than corn and cotton, their
deterioration for the past thirty days
has been greater than that of either
corn or cotton The greatest damage
to corn appears to have been accom-
plished during the month ending July
25, when the condition dropped 25.6
per cent as compared with but 81 per
cent during the past thirty days. Cots
ton, on the other hand decreased but
5.4 per cent for the month ending July
25 as compared with Ill per cent for
the month ending Aug. 25.
The general remarks from our cor
respondents indicate that in many sec
tons Of the state the growth of the
cotton plant has almost ceased. and
the plant has begun shedding. Many
,f
bolls, due to continued drouth. Cotton
has already been placed upon the mar
ket in this state, and the grades are
showing very low for the first picking,
evidently due to immaturity and short
staple. Corn alread gathered is show
ing a lack of development, and is very
light.

reation that has been made by the Wash

such a suggestion made few years

for call for the rry-up-wagon and

art Of aviation has progressed so that II
Is regarded as reasonable proposition
now, and the chances are that by the
time the international meet is held 1t will
be regarded as rather an easy perform
ance. The suggestion was made as q
SEQUEL to the inspection of Potomac Park
by some OF the members Of the Aero Club
In search of q suitable course for the
flights around Washington.
II was found that the tract Of land be-
low the railway and Highway briggs con-
tanned between 400 and 500 acres and with
the use OF the aviators. Most of the
tract is now a veritable jungle Of immense
weeds, with few willows that could be
easily removed. The land belongs to the
government and 1t is intended eventually
to clear and plant 1t and to extend the
driveway around the water front of the
area
AS the case stands now the drive run
ming from the front of the band stand on
the speedway extends half or two-thirds
of the way down the Virginia side of the

way round would entail the expenditure
OF a good deal of money. it would cost
very little to clear 1t and seed 1t down

Fall Meeting Of Presbytery.

The fall meeting of the Clarion Pres.
bytery was held In the Beechwoods
Presbyterian church September 81 and
%, beginning Tuesday afternoon and
continuing until Wednesday evening
This is an important event in church
circles, and is always well attended by
the lay members Of the congregations
from the various churches who are
interested in the workings OF this upper
court OF the Presbyterian church.
This meeting OF Presbytery was no
exception to the rule and large num-
ber were in attendance at the sessions
and enjoyed the hospitality Of the
Beechwoods people.
The first session convened at 2.3O
Tuesday afternoon when the opening
sermon was preached by Rev. j. B.
Hill, Of Brookville, the retiring moder-
atOr, after which Rev. Samuel Davis,
of Seneca, was elected moderator for
the ensuing six months. The forma-
tion of the roll showed nearly all OF
the sixty ministers In the Presbytery
to be present, and more than half were
represented by an elder.
A pleasing feature Of this meeting
OF Presbytery was the fact that it was
the twentieth anniversary OF Rev.
Hills pastorate at the Beechwoods
church. Congratulary addresses were
made by Revs. DR.. j. V. Bell, OF Du-
Bois, J. H. Cooper, Of Johnsonburg,
and Rev. iton, returned mission.

playmate of Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Hill thanked
his brethren in brief address for the
congratulations showered upon him.
The work Of the Presbytery during
the past year showed an advance all
along the lines, especially in foreign
missions. During the past yesr Clarion
Presbytery has given $1,000 for foreign
missions, gain Of 81 900 over last year.
Home missions have received $4,000,
while all the other bosrus have re-
ceived splendid gifts.-Brockwayville
