SAYS COTTON ACREAGE WILD BE
MUCH INCREASED.
Deputy sheriff Bowlin, Well Acquaint-
ed With Conditions, Also Looks
For Less Corn.

Cotton acreage In Tslsa county
Will be doubled next season" was the
surprising statement made by Deputy
Sheriff Bowlin yesterday afternoon.
MIR. Bowlln's duties take him over tho
farming country OF Tulsa county near
ly every day, and he is In position
TO know the attitude of the farmers
In this regard. The farmers would
rather take a chance on raising large
crop OF cotton and sell It at low
figure than take chances of planting
corn and not getting crop of any
kind as they did this year"
THE corn acreage Of the past two
years will be greatly reduced In Il pro-
portionate ratio as the cotton acreage
is increased continued Mr.. BowIn.
'"rhe droughts Of the past two seasons
have made many farmers determine
10 abandon corn. The winter wheat
Is looking unusually good the heavy
rains of last week doing wonders for
this crop. However considerable
acreage of wheat was killed before the
rain by the dry weather, An unusual
ly large amount OF deep winter plow-
Ing has been done this year. and this
In itself is good indication OF a
successful year next summer The
farmers, as n whole, are optimistic
and believe that the third drought
year Is an impossiblity, and that their
turn has come"
