Crop Money Takes Up Old Mortgages

Tangible proof of the prosperity of
the city and state is seen by Oklahoma
City bankers in the vast sums of
money that are being paid on farm and
city mortgages. The big Yields from
staple crops in the last two years are
bearing fruit in the liquidation of hnan-
cial obligations.
One local firm of loan bankers has
received in the last ninety days $780,
900 representing interest charges
which run back several years in some
instances. In addition the firm has
received in the same period 100000 in
other liquidations.
Plentiful liquidations are favorable
prospects for the future are reported
by other financial people.

be bought, it is quite another matter
and far different. am still Of the
opinion that the Pacific Northwest is
not in shape at present nor will it be
for some years to come to raise pro-
fitably any more hogs than are con-
sumed here. A reduction in the out
put of hogs will come from the condi-
ton described above and it will then
be question between those left in the
business and the packer as to who gets
the tariff. My own Judgment is that
the producer will have to have por-
ton of it at least to keep the supply
of hogs up to the consumption. In the
above estimate wish to make il clear
that the 300 referred to above means
that proportion of the number Of hogs
being raised and not 300 Of the peo-
pie who have hogs at present.

PEACH CROP BADLY
DAMAGED BY COLD
HOrticulturalist Estimates that
Nearly All Soft Fruit Buds
Have Been Killed

District Horticulturalist Powell
reports that 80 to 80 per cent of the
peaches are killed in this county and
suggests to the growers that they do
little or no pruning on these trees w.
til after they have blossomed or until
they can ascertain just how many are
killed or not killed.
"On some twigs, we will find all the
buds except one or two killed." said
Mr.. Powell. Every peach and apricot
that we can save and grow this year
will be worth good money, and for that
reason, we should not be too hasty in
doing our pruning until we are abso-
lutely sure we are not cutting off any
fruit that will be worth good money
next summer"
Prof. o. NJ. Morris, of the expert
ment station at Pullman has issued
the following suggestions regarding
the handling of winter injury to fruit
trees:
The extremely cold weather of the
early part of this month will probably
do harm to many tender fruit trees
and shrubs. The most severe cases
will result in killing back the young
wood and splitting the trunks and
large branches of the trees; the young
branches turn brown or black thruout
and usually wither slightly. In the
larger branches and trunk the inner
bark, or the cambium layer, and part
of the sap wood may turn brown, the
bark often splits in perpendicular
line and curls back. The wood of the
trunk may split in extreme cases. The
bark is sometimes killed entirely
around the trunk at or just above the
surface of the soil or snow.
In handling such injuries, Professor
o. M. Morris, advises that the winter
killed twigs should be cut back to the
sound or live wood. Sometimes the
sap wood is injured and turns brown,
but is not killed. If cutting away all
such injured wood necessitates ex-
tremely severe pruning it should not
be done. However, all wood on which
the bark is killed should be pruned off.
The split bark on the trunk and larg-
er limbs should be prevented from
curling back by banding or by the use
or tacks and small nails. If the bark
is killed back Of the edge of the split
an inch or more on each side this
should be covered by bridge grating.
The winter injury that is most liza
BILE to kill the tree is that form in
which the trunk is girdled. This can
be Photographed and the tree saved
with only slightly checking its growth.
The pruning away of injured parts
should be done as soon as possible at
ter the harm has been done. The
bridge grating should be done just
before rapid growth starts in the
spring. This process is described in
Popular Bulletin No. 81 Of the Expert
ment Station.
