MANILA FELTS
Correspondent and Agent
Garvin Fair Called Off

Several business men, the chair
man of the county council of defense
and chairman of the local council Of
defense, met in the chamber oi
commerce rooms yesterday and dis
cussed the effect the severe drouti
would have on the county fair. 1t
was the general opinion that under
the circumstances an exhibit could
not be collected sufficient to justify
the expenditure in these war times.
County Agent T. d. Felts has COM
municated with members who were
not present, and all have agreed that
the fair should be called off.
Mr.. Chandler, a prosperous Love
County farmer, is here seeking a To-
cation for his stock farm.

WEATHER AND CROP CON-
DITIONS IN OKLAHOMA
FOR AUGUST Is, 1918

Intensely hot weather, with dry
ing southerly winds, continue,
through the week. Maximum tenn
peratures ranged above 100 degree.
over practically the whole State ev-
eery day during the week. Scattered
showers occurred on the Sth and
9th, but the rainfall was mostly very
light, not enough to materially help
~crops, except over relatively small
areas in the northern portion. The
drought is one OF the most disas-
-trous ever experienced in Oklahoma.
All crops have been greatly damaged
and are steadily deteriorating, cx-
cept III parts OF the northwestern
counties, where opportunc local
showers have kept the drought re-
-sisting sorghum grains, kafir and
milo maize and broom-corn in fair
-ly good condition. Conditions are
exceptionally bad in the south-cen-
tral and southwestern counties
where corn is damaged so badly that
the prospective yield is now less
than a fourth of a crop for most OF
the acreage. Cotton deteriorated
steadily and rapidly during the week.
The plants are small and made prac-
-tically no growth, and the burning
-on some OF the dry uplands. She'd
ding and top blooming continues
and the bollS are opening prema-
-turely. Only relatively small
acreage OF bottom-land corn will
make grain. Many farmers have
cut the corn for Sileage or to cure
for rough feed. Kafir and milo
maize have been greatly injured and
are burning on some of the uplands.
-Ihe bulk OF the acreage OF these
crops is still green and, with good :
rains in the near future. would makc
fair yields. Broom-corn has been
further damaged in the south-cen-
tral, southwestern and middle west
ern counties, with prospect of al
most total failure for much of the
acreage. Brodm-corn prospects are
generally fair in the northwestern J
counties. Pastures are short. dry
and brown. Considerable stock is be-
ing marketed on account of scarcitv
Of feed and water. The peach crop
was short and of inferior quality as
a result of the heat and drought.
In many localities fruit and shade =
rees are dying as result of the
,rotracted drought ard intense heat.

BRITISH CAPTURE
GREATEST OIL FIELD
IN OIL D W0RL D
Washington, Aug. 15.-A British
force from northwestern Persia has
reached the Caspian Sea and taken
over part of the defenses of Baku.

Baku is connected by rail with
Tiflis, and SO with Poti and Batum
on the Black Sea, SCI miles distant
and since 1887, by the North eau.
casus railway with Novorossiak or
the Black Sea. The whole soil
around Baku is impregnated with
petroleum, the staple of its industry
OF the hundreds of petroleum wells
at Baku, most are situated on the
Balakani Peninsula, eight or nine
miles to the north of the town.
Lines OF pipe carry the oil into the
"black town" of Baku, with it's
smoky refineries, its black and
greasy buildings and pools of oil re-
fuse.
One well, opened in September,
1886, flowed at daily rate of H.
600 tons and submerged large area.
Another spouting well, in March,
1887, threw oil to a height of $50
feet, and, after forming an extensive
petroleum lake, forced its way into
the sea.
A pipe line 600 miles long car
ried oil from Baku to the Black Sea.
Before the war the profusion of
he supply of oil in this field cur
allied the American oil trade in
Europe to a considerable extent.
This field is within ten miles OF the
'amc latitude as the Ardmore fields.

crop is maturing in the extreme
south and fodder pulling is general
in the southeast. Late grain harvest
and threshing made excellent pro-
gresS, except at few northwestern
localities, where rain interfered. The
yield continues generally good. Fall
plowing made slow advance in many
central and southern sections on ac-
count of hard, dry soil. The wealth
er continued unfavorable for pota-
toes, truck, fruit and pastures in
the central and southwestern Sec
tions, but Improvement is noted in
the northeast, north-central and
many western localities.
