FROM OTHER PENS
ENOUGH COTTON.

The government cotton crop report
practically gives yield of 100000
bales. This is 100000 over last year
and 100000 short of the big crop of
two years ago. The crop for the crop
year may run to 100000 bales.
If the past year had been one of
active manufacture, this would not
furnish enough cotton until the new
crop begins to come in next Septem-
Der, but the consumption of cotton 70
date for the present crop year in this
country is 5000 bales short of last
year, being 3,044,000 bales. against
$4,000 last year. Exports to date
are 1,746,0O0 bales over last year, or
almost exactly one-fourth greater.
The yield from Egypt and India has
also been larger than usual. Foreign
markets, therefore, are we'll supplied,
home mills are curtailing, about TO-
600. 900 bales of the crop have reached
the market and the remaining 2,OOO,-
900 will be sufficient to meet all needs
during the time that is left.
The acreage for the current year is
larger than ever, but the boil weevll
may be trusted to keep down the y1eld.
Had this pest been absent the yield
would have been at least 100000
bales and cotton would be selling at
six and seven cents a pound.-Phila-

Raisuli is not what it was in the good
old days. Twenty-four Cor was 1t
9621 years ago, when Raisuli was first
overtaken by the grim reaper; the
world was clothed in sack-cloth and
ashes for the space of 10 minutes, ana
deeply solemn appropriations appeared
in ali the leading periodicals.
However, when the good Raisuli pass
ed away again decade later, those
who had once penned pleasant phrases
about his past, pursed up their lips and
printed pointed, parboiled paragraphs.

RECEIVES on the occasion of his second
death, Raisuli died some three years
later, being justly rewarded on this
occasion with naught but quips and
iibes. Thoroughly disheartened and
utterly reckless, he seems then to have
thrown all caution to the winds, and
since that time it has been q dull sea-
son indeed that did not witness at
least one demise upon his part. Thus
it comes about that even the para

ORCHARD CULTIVATION.

The neglect o. farm orchards
throughout the country accounts very
largely for the fact that the crop OF
apples In the United States decreased
from G9,070.000 barrels in 1896 to A..
100000 barrels In 1900 and to 23 900.
900 barrels In 1903.
1t 10 recognized fact that orchards
require more care and attention TO
produce good fruit now than former.
~ Good, healthy, vigorous trees are
less susceptible to injury by insects
and diseases than weak trees. Guilt.
yation is the most essential factor in
producing good trees and fruit. In
some sections OF the United States
fruit Is very successfully grown In the
sod, that is, the sod is left in the
orchard the entire year, however, this
system is not adapted to Oklahoma
The principle reason for cultiyating
an orchard is to conserve the mois.
tnfe both BY establishing dust mulch
on the ground and by keeping the
weeds down. Cultivation should not
begin In the spring until the trees
have started to grow. otherwise you
may force out the tender growth
which may be injured by cold.
