STATE CROP ESTIMATE

The Bureau OF Crop Estimates
I, thru its Field Agent for Oklahoma
makes the following estimate OF the
acreage and condition Of winter
wheat and rye for the United States
and for the State of Oklahoma.
WINTER WHEAT: United States:
Planted in the fall Of 1917 $4,000.
600 acres, compared with 4O.534. 600
acres planted last year. Condition
December 1 was 1913 per cent of nor
NAL. compared with S5.7 last year
and Ss.3, the ten-year average condi-
tion on December +.
For the State OF Oklahoma. $500
600 acres compared with 100000
acres last year. Condition December
was 6s per cent Of normal. COM
pared with 81 year ago and s6, the
ten-year average.
RYE: United States: Planted in
the fall OF 1917 100000 acres. COM
pared with 4.4s0.O00 acres planted
last year. Condition December I was
s7.6 per cent Of normal, compared
with sS.S last year and 92.2 the ten
year average condition on December
1.
For the State Of Oklahoma, 10000
acres, compared with 10000 acres
last year. Condition December was
6. per cent Of normal. compared with
SS year ago and so, the ten-year
average.
WINTER WHEAT: The acreage
sown to winter wheat in Oklahoma
shows slight reduction as compared
with last year. due primarily to the
adverse climatic conditions prevail
ing thruout the seeding period The
greatest reduction is in the south
western section of the State where
rainfall was deficient and ground
could not be prepared properly.
There was not sufficient moisture to
properly germinate what was sown.
A slight reduction also occurs in the
central, northern and northwestern
sections but in the northeastern dis
trict there is materiaI increase. The
condition of the crop on December 1
is materially reduced from normal on
account of the dry weather prevail
ing thruout the last half of Septem-
ber, October and the first half OF No
vember. Wheat In the northern half
OF the state maintained vitality re-
markably well but in the southeast
ern section the crop suffered materi-
ally and presents the lowest condition.
No pasture Of consequence was avail
able. The stand was generally good
but It was too dry for wheat to make
a growth. In some sections wheat
died out for want Of moisture. II
was revived somewhat by light rains
towards the latter part of November.
There was also some seeding done af-
ter the rains about November 81.
The tendency would have been, in
practically all districts Of the state,
to at least maintain the 1917 acreage
with possibly slightly increase.
RYE: There IL probably no ma
terial reduction in the acreage sown
to rye but climatic conditions in the
western part of the state were ad-
verse to the best growing condition.
Rye like wheat, suffered materially
from the effects Of the drouth. the
lack of proper preparation of the soil
and the general adverse conditions
during the fall. The crop provided
but little fall and winter pasture.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

We of the United States are conf
dent that we shall win the war. Ger
many is equally certain of victory
The outlook is for a long and bloody
conflict.
If those persons who oppose the
war and everything that is being done
to bring it to a successful termination
could be made to realize this probably
they would desist. It is difficult to
believe that there are those who are
so disloyal that they would be willing
to have this country come under the
domination of Germany. Most of
those persons who are actively oppos-
ing the operation of the selective draft
law are exempt from its direct effect
What then are their motives? 1t must
be that they have some selfish end to
serve. are merely DESTROYS of attract
ing public attention or are misin-
formed regarding the crisis confront
ed by the nation.
1t will be unfortunate If the govern
ment shall be forced to deal with
these agitators in the manner pro-
vided by law and in accordance with

much longer term
1t is high time that to every one
among US was brought home a reali-
zation. Of what this war means and
| small part of US seem still of a mind
to regard 1t as matter that is moot,
concerning which it is possible not
only to entertain views in conflict
with the governments. but to indulge
in utterances and action inimical to
the nations settled purpose Appa-
rently they labor under the haIIucina-
ton that those of us that want to
fight may fight and bear the burdens
OF war, while they may do as they
please, even get in our way This is
grave mistake. 1t should not be
necessary to point it out. But moth
ing is clearer than the inability of
some to perceive it, to comprehend
the simple truth that in times like
these the phrase who is not with me
is against me has a significance not
all rhetorical.
When the registration of our fight
ing men begins there may be a better
conception of what is on. Those that
actively obstruct should, in the inter
est of all of us. receive such treatment
as disloyalty merits. The obligations
of citizenship must be understood as
we'll as its privileges.

In almost every public utterance by
officials of the central powers may be
noted two phrases which they seem
to be working overtime. One is the
reference to 1.-The war which has been
forced upon US" The other is that
there is no desire ito suppress other
nations" They cannot hope to de-
ceive anybody by this line of talk
The whole world knows who forced
the war AS regards the desire to
suppress other nations, we have only
to direct our attention to Belgium
Since the central powers inaugurated
the war what other motive could they
have had than the suppression of
their neighbors? The presidency
with which these catch phrases are
reiterated is calculated to arouse a
suspicion that they are bids for peace.
But if the Teutonic allies are DESTROYS
OF terminating the war they must
make some more definite overture. 1t
is up to those who started the war to
stop it.

So, on Saturday afternoon, Ray
found himself facing Tom Pennington
for the club championship. Mildred's
fiance was a good tennis player. but
Pennington had once won the state
championship and was regarded as in
vincible in Glenwood. No one realized
this more fully than did Ray. He
glanced anxiously toward Mildred, and
the girl smiled confidently. But as
the match progressed, her confidence
received a sudden shock, for Penn
ington won the first set six to love.
The second set recorded the same
score and Mildred grew thoughtful
In the third set, however, Ray won
the first game and the girls eyes
lighted up hopefully. But hope. as
well as confidence, died away when
the former state champion ran out six
games in rapid succession and won
the championship cup.
Tom didn't see Mildred again until
he had taken shower and changed
his attire. Then he found her waiting
for him on the swing at the far end
of the porch.
He smiled whimsically into her eyes.

Mildred flared up instantly,
You are good" she answered You

ton, and you could win from him if
you practiced more"
Ray smiled gently.

match was my one loyal supporter,

TRAWELETTE
Nantucket.
BY NIKSAH

This little island off the New Eng
land coast is a terminal moraine; that
is, a great mass of gravel and rock
pushed out into the ocean by the toe
of the ice cap that once sat upon
North America.
After being nothing but a terminal
moraine for a good many cons Nam
tucket was settled by colonial New
Englanders and became one OF the
greatest whaling ports in the world
Its ships ranged almost from one po-
lar ice cap to the other' ana haiI
way around the earth. 1t did an
enormous business in oil and whale
bone, and it's men were deep sea sail
ors as daring as any in the world
The discovery of petroleum was the
first blow to Nantucket's greatness.
and the Civil war, which carried away
many of its young men never to re-
turn, was the second. Then after the
war the great movement westward
began. By 1870 the last whaling ves-
sci had made port at the island, and
the wharves were rotting and the cot
tages bling down. Nantucket be-
came a drear place home of old
men and of their memories.
But Nantucket still had sweet sea
breezes and smoothly rounded hills
and surf-patted beaches. The people
that play in the summer found this
out and came to the island. Cast OF
by industry, Nantucket took pleasure
for her second love. And now she is
a buster place than ever; for great
tourist hotels have taken the place of
her warehouses; tiny pleasure boats
crowd the docks where the whalers
used to ride; and her streets, once
rank with the smell of oil and crowded
with seafaring figures, are now filed
with the tints and flutter of fashion.

remembrance of Gods past dealings
with US, by the knowledge of HIS
dealing with others, by the careful
study of His own word, and by earnest
and unceasing prayer.
There is a difference between an
established heart and sure circum-
stances. The former is in no sense
dependent upon the latter. We may be
established in heart if not in aftairs.

OTHERS TALK, GERMANY ACTS.
(BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.)
copyright 1917, Star Co.


This war can be ended by the right
kind of fighting in the air
To make an impression on the pub
lie mind. a thing must be said often.
We repeat that the road to Berlin
is thru the air.
The German line on land seems I'M
breakable.
The English line on the sea was un-
breakable. until the Germans went
under it.
The air above the German trenches
and the German cannon is open and
free
The way to fight the Germans and
end the war quickly is thru the air,
over the German lines and inside of
them.
While we are talking about this.
Germany makes an impression thru
the air on Dover; an impression most
painful and effective.
That impression is slight compared
to what this country could do in a
determined effort to end the war by
air fighting.
S0HulIS twenty IIyIHS HldCIIlIeS, d
hundred or a thousand. is nothing.
This country should keep busy in
the air above German territory, trav-
cling the free and open road, not a
hundred or a thousand, but twenty
thousand flying men armed with
dynamite, and then another twenty
thousand-and then fifty thousand
more.
If we can send a million men on
foot, and in ships, we can have fifty
thousand of them provided with fly
ing machines.
A flying machine does not cost so
much more than an expensive auto
mobile.
Germany is about as big as Texas
Sixty millions of human beings are
crowded into Germany.
Fifty thousand flying machines
dropping dynamite every day and
every night into that population would
suggest peace thoughts and accom-
plish the end economically.
That would be a war economical in
money, economical in life.
There will be no trouble finding
men to go up in the machines. They
can be trained in three months. And
while they are being trained. the fly
ing ships can be built.
We can not, it is true. make as good
engines as the French. We can not
make the very latest, fastest flying
battleships.
But we can make sufficiently good
airships for the purpose.
A mosquito is not much of an air
ship. But enough mosquitoes will
drive a strong man out of any swamp.
And enough inferior aeroplanes-
fifty thousand of housekeeping
dynamite bombs daily would drive a
great deal of the fighting instinct out
of Germany-and help along peace.
The way to Berlin and to peace is
