TO PLANT MUCH WHEAT.
Oklahoma Farmers Expect Increased
Demand and Good Prices.

Demand and Good Prices.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. SO.-Ok-
lahoma farmers are preparing to plant
a largely increased acreage of wheat
this fall. This Is made certain by
seasonable rains that have fallen over
all parts of the wheat belt during the
last week. 1t was the intention OF
the farmers to put out big acreage
of wheat owing to the good crops OF
the last season and the good price
that they are going to get for the crop
as a result of the war in Europe. They
also appreciate the possibility of an
increased demand for the next crop
owing to war conditions. All that was
wanting to confirm them in their po-
sition was the rain.
W. d. Bentley, state agent for farm
extension and cooperation, said that
reports he had received from all sec
tions Indicate that there will be a gen
eral increase in the area planted to
wheat this fall, as compared with last
fall Last fails acreage was the larg-
est the state has ever known. The
oklahoma wheat crop that is now be-
ing marketed amounted to approx.
mately 4O.00O.OOO bushels.

COVE RNMENT REPORT lNOl'
Gates CROP THIS YEAR is 7S
PER CENT NORMAL.
OKLAHOMA IS EIGHTY
Condition Of Crops in This State Is
Eighty Per Cent of NormaI-sest
indications in This State Since
Nineteen and Twelve.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The condi-
ton OF the cotton crop of the United
States on August % was rs per cent
of a normal, the United States depart
ment of agricultures reporting board
announced at noon today IN its fourth
condition report of the season. This
compares with 76.4 per cent on July
% this year, 6S.2 per cent on August
% last year, 74S per cent in 1872
and 73.4 per cent, the average for
the past ten years on August 20.
Following the last condition report
in July the crop reporting board an
nounced that the condition of July 20
forecast a yield of 179 pounds of cot
ton per acre, which on the acreage
reported July l, viz, 36,950,O0O would
produce 6,616,OOO,OO0 pounds of lint,
or about 13,S5O,OOO bales of 500
pounds gross weight. 1t added that If
an allotment of one per cent be made
IOT VI AL OoSNs VIZ AO' -
cast would be about 13,725,0OO bales.
The official figures of the crop re-
porting board announce the equiva-
lent in yield of 100 per cent condition
on August 20 as 259.7 pounds per acre.
With an acreage of 36,590,0OO making
an allowance of one per cent for aban-
donment, the forecast of yield AS in
dicated from the August 20 condition
can be obtained in pounds. This total
of pounds may be reduced to 800
pounds gross weight bales by dividing
by 47S.1 pounds, the average net
weight of such bales.
During the early part of the month
good rains occurred in portions of the
eastern belt, especially in Alabama
and Georgia, and the crop was report
ed as having made satisfactory pro-
gress in those states as well as IN
nortions of the Carolinas and Missis-
sippi where showers fell. West of the
Mississippi it was hot and dry, espec-
ially in Texas and Oklahoma, where
practically no beneficial rains occur
red and the crop was reported as suf-
fering severely, although the early
planting was reported as standing the
drought well in many sections. Bolls
were opening prematurely and shed-
ding was reported from some locali-
ties.
Toward the middle of the month the
eastern and central cotton states was
favored with good weather and cotton
made rapid growth. Picking then was
under way in the southern portions
hut DELAYED somewhat in Georgia by
freouent rains. In Texas the severe
drought was very generally relieved,
especially in the eastern and central
portions. although the late planted
was small and shedding was reported.
FREQUENT rains promoted plant
growth in the cotton region during
the latter part of the month, and IA
yorable progress was reported from
raarlv all sections of the belt. Pick
ing was becoming quite general in
the southern portions but was being
bindered somewhat by too frequent
rains and some damage was reported
from too much moisture and from
shedding. while insect pests were re-
rorted from a number Of localities.
