than was the western half. How
ever, the crop win be the largest
since the year 1905 ana will be al
most as large as that of the yea:
1905, when Oklahoma produced ita
record crop.
THE estimated yield for this year
from an acreage slightly in excess OF
5000, 600 is slightly more than 100
000, ,000 bushels, or a general average
OF about 20 bushels to the acre. II
is possible that the yield win make
az high as 100000 in which event
II would be the second greatest IN
the history OF the state. Had there
been no drouth which burned up the
late crop, all records would have
been smashed.
Drilling operations in the oil field
Of Oklahoma are at the maximum
and speculations in likely looking
territory are more than usually ac-
tive. Late reports from pools adm
cent to Tulsa are to the effect thai
the boom is on in Gushing, which
new field is likely to absorb all the
available stocks of oil well supplies;
Pawhee County likewise is buster
now than any time within its history.
The Schulter District and at Morris
and in fact the entire territory is the

reverses should be looked for and n
word Of caution is not out of place.

for some reverses to even up the

exact social standing of the parents
of the boys with whom Harold would
be thrown in contact. Headmaster
Peabody thus replied:
Dear Madam: With reference to
interring your son at Groton wish to
say that / should be glad to under

himself well no questions will be
asked about his parentage."
