Wheat Prospects Poor and Rain
Badly Needed for all Crops.

=
The following is a letter to the
CrossvilIe Chronicle from E. NJ.
Hyder, of Lone Wolf, Okla. 1t
will be noticed that wheat pros
poets are poor there as well as in
Tennessee where the crop has
only so percent. condition accord
ing to Government forecasts:
"This leaves Oklahoma dry and
windy. We have had the. driest
and windiest winter and spring of
any IN the nine years | have been
here.
I'VE had a big rain last fall,
Oct. Goth, and that was all until
April 10th, when we had about
one-half inchof rain. 1t did the
wheat quite a bit of good, but we
will have to have more rain pretty
soon if there is any wheat made.
4 went to Memphis, Texas,
last week in car. That is about
one hundred and ten miles west
of here, and they had poorer
prospects for wheat than this part
of Oklahoma.
but very few people have put
out any garden and what has been
planted and come up, has nearly
all died, but everything is look
ing some better since the rain.
Il have sixty acres of wheat
and about eighty acres to cult
vate in corn, cotton, kaffir corn
and water melons. ! own an
eighty acre farm one mile south
and two miles west of Lone Wolf,
and like this country fine, if we
could get a little more rain.
Tell all the people in Crossville
hello for me. Tell them if we
could get about a weeks rain like
they have there some times, that
every farmer in the state of Okla
homa would be as proud of it. as
a young rooster is of his first pair
of spurs"
