ARDMoRE'S BURDEN.

The cleanup crusade inauguratcd
by Commissioner Owens, Chief Gar
rett and their force of policemen, has
met with a hearty response from all
sections of the city and county. Many
letters have come to the Ardmoreite
endorsing the work and these men in
several instances have offered their
aid by word or deed to further push
the work.
Police Commissioner Owens has re-
ceived telephone messages by the
hundred from men and women who
tender their services and express
their thanks to him for his earnest,
intelligent and efficient work.
John Owens will succeed.
The law is on his side, the people
are on his side and when Ardmore
is rendered as clean as Gainesville,
Texas, Paris, Texas and Denton,
Texas, there will not be a man in
Ardmore nor in the county who will
not appreciate it.
When Ardmore is relieved OF the
evil of the joint business it will grow
in leaps and bounds. When men who
come from the older states pass up

OKLAHOMA WHEAT
1878 PER CENT
THE CROP is REPORTED ONE
OF LOWEST ON RECoRD-DRF
WEATHER.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. "A condi'
ton OF 3S.S per cent for winter
wneat, probably the lowest ever
known in the history OF Oklahoma,
is reported by the state board OF
agriculture in its monthly crop bul
letin issued today. This is compared
with condition of 93.7 per cen;
at the same time last year. The
acreage OF wheat sown this fall is
estimated at 1,1OG,l93 which is only
800 per cent of the acreage sown
in the fail of 1909
The lack of rainfall is held re
sponsibe for the poor condition of
the wheat, which may possibly i'm
prove as the season advances The
rainfall this autumn has been very
deficient, says the report. Follow
ing an entire year Of much less than
the average rainfall, this lack of
precipitation has left the ground in
very poor condition for seeding
wheat. as we'll as for its germina-
tion, whether it was possible for it
to be seeded at all. 1t has, therefore
had double effect of preventing far
mers from putting in as much
ground as they probably intended
to, and at the same time bringing
about a very poor development of
the young plant"
The showing as to the additional
acreage sown to alfalfa this fall
as compared with last year is also
disappointing. 1t is shown to be
only 6S.9 per cent of that sOwn in
1909, but OF course represents a
very material increase in the total
acreage of tine state which Is now
estimated at 25OODOI acres. The
board considers that it should have
been 100000 acres by this time. A
tentative estimate of the cotton
crop places it at 776,600 bales, an
indicated crop of almost so per
cent greater than last year, with a
return to the farmers of practically
s55,O0O,OO This basis is on a report
by correspondents of an average
yield of 1917 pounds of lint per
acre, as compared with an esti-
mated yield last year of 145 and
an actual average yield as shown
by the assessors returns of 1862
pounds. The last reports on acreage
indicated an increase of 10 per cent
over last year, or 1,906,7i1, and it is
on that basis that this estimate is
made. This is not a final estimate
as the board is still receiving re
port from ginners as to their oper
atoms up to Dec 1. 1t will there
fore on Dec. 9, simultaneously with
the government report, issue its
final estimate on OlIahoma's cot
ton crop.
