HARVEST OF
WHEAT is
UNDER WAY

Varied reports come from the coun-
try concerning the wheat crop in
Grady county, and almost every report
constitutes a different sersion OF the
1913 prospects. However in practical
" every instance one remark is gen
eral. with remarks, by the way should
be a lesson to the Oklahoma farmer.
The remark is simply this THE
wheat fields, where the ground was
properly prepared, show very little
damage from the hot, dry weather
Some reports says that the wheat
will average more this year than last,
that many fields will average above 25
bushels, while some few viii not be
worth cutting. A mill man, seen in
Chickasha today, said, q believe the
general average will be very good,
much better, in fact than last year.
Il is true the wheat has been damaged
to a certain extent and a great deal
at that. but in the beginning, the pros
poets were SO abnormally bright that
a depreciation Of a larger per cent
from the first estimates, would still
leave a good average yield per acre
From every section of the county
news comes that the wheat harvest Is
on and has been for several days. Yes
terday at Walters. Okla, threshing
was commenced, but as to the yielC
nothing could be learned.
It is believed that the RAIN of las
night will do no damage of any conss
quence to the wheat that is in th'
shock, nor the standing grain, whil'
there are some very late oats over thI
county that the rain will aid material
'!ly. Continued dampness for a weel
or more might injure the harveste

the damage was not serious. Also in

lightning. and both occurred near the
hour of 9 O'Clock. The house Of R.

the shingles off the roof, following a
rafter several feet and striking the
wall near the telephone. The house
was set on fire, but the blaze was
extinguished by No. ] station before
it gained headway. The damage was
slight, amounting to about Sl00.
The home of o. d. Jenkins. on Da-

apparently coming in over the electric

gas meter. which was broken in pieces,
allowing the gas to escape The es-

by heroic efforts that Mr.. Jenkins ex-

any damage The gas was then cut
