The highest point of woman s hap

COTTON CROP TO
BREAK RECORD
CHIEF OF CROP REPORTING
BOARD SAYS PICK OF 1911 WILL
BE 14,,425, 900 BALES.

Washington, July -Supplementing
the department OF agriculture report
Tuesday on the condition of the Unit
ed States cotton crop, DR., y. A. Muir
ray, acting chief of the crop report
ing board Thursday made the follow
ing statement:
The report shows the condition OF
the crops to be higher than on any
corresponding date in the last ten
years. A month ago the general con
dition was we'll above the ten-yeai
average Today it is So per cent
above it.
The acreage of cotton this year is
about 35,OOO,OOO. Allowing for the
average amount of abandonment
about 100000 acres-the indications
are that approximately $4,000 900
acres of cotton will be harvested.
The condition indicates a proba-
bic yield of 2O2.S pounds Ter acre,
which on 34,OOO,OOO acres would mean
S95, 100000 pounds, or about 14,425,-
600 bales.
This calculation allows for average
depreciation. The critical period in
cotton growth is in August and Sep
tember, so that any estimate at this
time must be taken with some allow
ance."
The largest previous production OF
cotton in this country was in 1904
when it aggregated 13,679,954 bales
OF 500 pounds each.

DISTRICT AGENT
GRAHAM HAPPY
SAYS THE RAIN HAS INJECTED
NEW LIFE INTO FARMERS-AD-
VlSES PLANTING AT ONCE.

District Agent A. c. Graham OF the
department Of agriculture was in the
city yesterday after a trip over the
northwestern portion of the county,
and was in a happy frame of mind
over the heavy general rain that fell
over Carter county last night. You
can say for me- said Mr.. Graham,
that the cotton crop is in fine
shape and was not injured by the re-
cent drouth and with the rains of last
night the crop is practically assured.
Now, as for the corn crop, That Is
another problem. In some places IN
the county | have found very good
crops and of course the owners are
fortunate, but in other sections the
crop is absolutely gone. This is the
situation that now contronts the far
mers. Begin to plant feed crop as
coon as the ground can be worked
after the recent rains. There is no
need to wait to remove the stalks
already on the land. Plant between
the rows and cut the stalks off after
wards with a stalk cutter.
Several farmers in the western par!
or the county have their seed on
hand and are preparing to get busy
some to plant June corn, others kali
fir corn and milo maize. There is
ample time for a good corn crop yet,
and with a cotton crop such as Is
indicated by the present outlook ana
the probability of good prices for the
staple this fall, Carter county will
have no cause TO worry over the 1u'
ture. In my opinion last nights ram
was the best that we have had in
four months and l can see nothing
but prosperity for Carter county this
fall"

When Governor Lee Cruce appoint
ed Colonel Sidney Suggs to the office
of Highway Commissioner. he named
a man to look after the highways of
the state who has been a good roads
enthusiast for series of years and
who has studied road building in all
its phases. Many years ago before
statehood was dreamed of he was
an attendant at the first good roads
convention of the state, and in his
paper he has published volumes Of
news matter touching the subject Of
better road building. Col. Suggs has
entered upon his work with a zest
that will bring success. The State
Automobile Association is cooperat-
ing with him in his effor,s and be-
fore his term of office expires it is
confidently expected that Oklahoma
will scarcely know itself from the
standpoint of road improvements.
In 1897 Col. Suggs purchased the
Ardmoreite and has been at the helm
OF the Daily and Weekly Ardmoreite
since that time. His location is not
in the largest city in the state, but
he has made the Ardmoreite state
paper and has forced it to the front
OF journalism by his untiring and
intelligent efforts in the newspaper
line. He is man too broad to in
dulge in the matters that go to the
building up of factions in his home
city or in the state. and that one
principle Of harmony which he has
advocated has given him a state
wide reputation as an editor.
His friends confidently expect tc
see him make one Of the most usefu
state officers in Oklahoma. He ha:
made his plans and is now executing
