Oklahoma City.-Although planting

extent by the heavy rains. the reports
that are received from many sections
Of the state where peanuts are being
grown are highly encouraging, and 1t
Is expected that the total yield this
year will be greater than that of last

The soil throughout the state is in
such excellent condition that there will
be a great amount Of late planting,
which will make splendid yields, and
in sections Of the state where cotton
and other crops have been seriously
damaged by the heavy rains. and
where replanting of those crops is
likely to prove losing venture, it has
been suggested that peanuts be plant
ed, as they will thrive in weather con-
ditions that would prove detrimental
to other crops.
