las superseded the nominating

such a minority in an Oklahoma

The governor of the state has
recommended that the law be so

be necessary to elect; but even
that leaves open the question of

The Weather and the Crops.


The weather during the past
week has been rainy as a rule
throughout the cotton belt. Such
weather has not facilitated GIN
ming and marketing operations
by any means, and all farm work
has been retarded. With good
weather preparation Of the fields
for the next crop would be claim
ing attention of farmers, and an
increase in acreage as we'll as the
outcome of the crop may depend
very largely on the character OF
the weather for the balance OF
t0e winter. If winter ploWiug
is prevented by bad weather the
crop will not experience an early
and favorable start.
1t is generally believed that
farmers will increase the cotton
acreage this year owing to the
fine prices realized for the crop
now being marketed, but as moth
ing has yet been done in the way
of preparation the reports of in
creased acreage may end merely
in talk. It is true, however,
that conditions in the cotton belt
are prosperous owing to the fact
that the second largest crop on
record has sold at high prices.
Such a state of things will natur-
ally predispose farmers to plant
more cotton in fact as much as
they can cultivate to advantage.

v)rable in the sugar belt, pre-
