Growing condition of the following:

corn that has been replanted on &C.
count of poor stand, damages, ETC., rs

Per cent of the acreage planted to
oats that has been abandoned on &C.
count of poor stand, damages, etc, rs

Damage to oats by the following:
Hessian Fly, per cent; green bug

Damage to wheat by the following:
Hessian fly, 3 per cent; green bug
s per cent.
Wheat has a growing condition o.
GA per cent. This is IA per cent below
the growing condition in April, and
16 per cent below the growing condi
ton on same date in 1915. Our re
ports show that wheat has been dam
aged per cent by Hessian fly and
8 per cent by green bug. OF the
acreage planted to wheat this year q
per cent has been abandoned on &C
count Of various causes. The acre
age planted this year was 2,5S5,O00
and as has been said, 81 per cent o.
this acreage will not be harvested
which will leave 2,042,150 acres fol
harvesting. DRY weather reports
from the wheat belt are the principe
reason for this low growing condition
however, since our reports were re
ceiyed various counties in the stat'
have had good rains.
Corn is in fair condition through
out the state, however, 26 per cent o.
the acreage had to be replanted on &C
count of weather reverses. This viii
cause Oklahoma's corn crop to mature
later than usual.
Oats has received the heavies

growing condition on same date las
year. Nineteen per cent of the cottoI
acreage is yet to be planted. The cot
ton acreage for this year was previous
ly estimated at per cent above las
years acreage, this estimate will un
doubtedly be increased on account o
failures of other crops and their acre
age being replanted to cotton.
All forage crops. are in good condi
ton. The first cutting of alfalfa aver
aged IL tons per acre. Pasture lands
are also in good shape.

Whatever may be the final outcome
of the war, says the Philadelphia
Record, all good Christians must
cherish the hope that Armenia, now
In Russian hands, will never be re-
stored to the murderous Turk. There
was probably considerable exaggera.
ton in the reports that the Sultan's
fanatical soldiers had slain 1000, 900
Armenians, but there seems to be no
doubt that the victims OF Moslem
ferocity numbered several hundred
thousands. For the survivors Of this
terribly prosecuted people Russian
rule, even though far from ideal, will
be infinitely preferable TO Turkish
oppression. II Alesopotamia can also
be freed from the same crushing In.
eubus ono OF the most fertile regions
In the world will be restored to civil.
zation. For this reason Il Is TO be
hoped that the capture OF Trebil md
marks the beginning Of the end for
the Turk In Asia Minor.

Financing Costs.

Temple, Texas. April ga street

The cost OF same approximates

example OF civic spirit and coopera.

practically unanimously paid a pro.

done by voluntary agreement and
without the necessity OF enforcing any
compulsory laws,
The matter In which the city gov.

council issued deficiency warrants
which were accepted by the contrac.

The plan was made possible BY the
action OF II. c. Poe. president OF the

the money for tho warrants. which
