GAIN is SUBSTANTIAL.
Much More Gross Revenue from OIL,
Gas and Mining Than Last Year.

Substantial gains are shown in the
amount of gross revenue tax collected
from oil, gas and mining for the first
six months Of the present calendar
year over those of 1912. The rate up
to October of the present year Is
" OF per cent. of the gross pro-
ductlon, after which it will be changed
to Y OF per cent, having been
changed by the last legislature.
For the first six months of the pres
ent year the collections we're: Janu.
airy, $24.20217 February, $18,807. "a;
March, $1,OlO.S4; April, $26,32S.SO;
May $23,S6464; June. $4.712.52.. For
the corresponding months in 1912 the
collections were: January, $18,212.S0;
February $11,770.03; March. $337.1S;
April, $16,61329: May. sl1,929.46;
June, S877O7.
The increased rate to become ef
fective in October applies only to oil
and gas. The new law also provides
that purchasers of oil and gas must
make quarterly report OF all pur-
chases made. with the amounts.
This must be submitted to the state
auditor, and will help materially in
getting close tab on the production.

THE PROFITABLE PEANUT

Cotton is Oklahoma's greatest crop.
Corn is the next in value in this state.
But there is crop, humble and neg
lected, which is destined to take sec
ond place from corn, and perhaps
wrest first honors from the feecy crop
that brings millions of foreign money
into Oklahoma each twelve months.
Peanuts, the COOLERS of the south,
the wonderful product that is max
ing Stephens county rich, will de-
velop into a principal crop of Okla
homa and be, perhaps, the principal
crop of Oklahoma well within de-
cade.
The Oklahoma farmer who had a
patch of peanuts this year is not
worried about that crop. He looked
with anxious eyes at his corn crop,
hopeful that rainfall would be of such
an amount that the corn crop will ma
ture. He eagerly observed the cotton
patch, praying that no pest might de-
stroy the bolls. But he gave little
thought to the peanut crop, knowing
that the peanuts will be ready to ex-
change for gold in October.
Stephens county has about 10000
acres planted to peanuts. Hence
Stephens county will receive about
81, 100000 for the peanut crop of that
county for 1918. II each county of
Oklahoma should raise as many pea
nuts as Stephens county will raise
this year, then the Oklahoma annual

silos In Rogers County.

That the farmers of Rogers county
are becoming educated to the fact
that the silo is an indispensable COM
modify on the farm and a money
maker and money saver is evidenced
from the fact that seven silos were
unloaded at the Missouri Pacific depot
at Claremore in one day recently.
These silos were placed on the farms
of the following: James Winter
green, Harry Marble. Ben Lowery,
George Vincent and DR.. Bushyhead.

peanut crop would sell for more than
$50 10000
And peanuts will grow in almost
any kind Of soil. Blackjack land,
which is not suited to many crops,
will produce literally of peanuts.
In some spots of Oklahoma farmers
will not have much of corn crop
this year, In those same spots ex-
perts had advised that peanuts be
planted as an insurance crop. But
corn is such an attractive crop that
many were fascinated by the accom-
plishments of famous corn states, and
increased their acreage in Oklahoma
this year.
While Oklahoma will have a good
corn crop, some corn raisers are
doomed to bitter disappointment. A
blight hovers over a few tracts of land
in Oklahoma which, had such tracts
been planted to peanuts, would now
be radiant with the velvety green Of
the growing peanut plants.
II Oklahoma wishes to add to her
creative wealth, the quickest route
Is to follow the Stephens county
method. The farmers of that county
will have fat bank accounts this fall,
made possible by the humble COOLERS.
1t is true that Oklahoma will show a
crop yield of great magnitude. but wa
are overlooking the crop which is
quite the most nearly certain OF any
yet discovered by the agronomist.

July and August, the result is the
same as in Beaver county under the
same conditions, aside from the diff
ference in elevation and consequent
humidity, which will not of itself save
q crop.
1t seems clear therefore since agri-
culture is our Principal asset, that
the biggest problem in Oklahoma is
the retention and the conservation OF
the moisture that falls during the non.
growing seasons, In order that it may
be available In the growing seasons
II, by proper preparation. the soil is
enabled to absorb one. two or three
extra inches Of the late fall. winter or
spring rains, and If, by the right
methods of conservation, that extra
inch, two inches or three inches is re-
tained in the soil for the use OF the
crops during July and early August,
II spells the difference between sue
cess and failure, ordinarily. say or.
dinarily, because In the event OF ex
cessively hot winds at the wrong
time, moisture will not cave corn
But this brings another factor into
consideration, for with moisture gen.
orally present, there can be no hot
winds. Therefore, the statement that
moisture cannot save corn in the face
of hot winds must be applied locally
In the case of winter wheat If the
preparation of the soil previous to the
sowing of the crop has been of such
nature as to admit and retain water,
and if the crop is narrowed occasion
ally until well along in the spring, it
usually means several bushels more
per acre, better quality, and some
times twenty bushels per acre instead
Of nothing.
These are not armchair theories or
impractical visions. They are hard
facts amply proven by our best farm
ers all over the state. They are the
inevitable conclusions of every man
who spends a sufficient number OF
years in experiment, observation and
study.
Our friends the bankers have played
so strong on the kafir corn string as.
to cause the impression to get started
that they think kair corn alone will
save this country, and that it will do
it without fall Kaflr corn is a good
crop for Oklahoma. Ordinarily it
will make" where corn fails, even in
central and eastern Oklahoma But
ii does not always do it; witness 1912.
Oklahoma is not a one-crop country.
1t can and should grow more differ.
cnt kinds of crops than any other
state. Kafir corn should by all means
go into the rotation in Oklahoma. So
should corn, in the eastern and cen
trail portions, and wheat, oats and for.
age crops, and cotton and alfalfa and
COW peas, and sweet clover, and very
many other crops on a smaller scale.
But the foundation Of all Of them
should be laid in better cultivation,
based upon the principles above out
lined-on dry-farming principles, If
you please. A proper general under
standing Of and adherence to these
principles, supplemented by silos and
live stock, will make of Oklahoma
what we all want to see; the surest
agricultural state in. the union, and
the producer Of the most live stock in
proportion to area. What we need is
Investigation, and not concentration
upon any one crop.
