That the farmers of Oklahoma
should SOW at least 100000 acres
to wheat within the next two months
was the opinion expressed by John
Fields, of Oklahoma City, editor of
the Oklahoma Farmer, in speech
to farmers of the county at the
Grady county free fair yesterday.
Oklahoma is facing an opportunity
to redeem herself from corn failures
this season and both land owners
and tenants who are now on the soil
should stay in the interest of produc-
ing for war needs as well as for the
future of the land, Mr.. Fields de-
clared.
In discussing present needs of the
state and Grady county, Mr.. Fields
stated that the predominating idea Of
raising cash crops should be forgot
ten for the good Of our fighting men
who are depending upon the farmers
at home to advance them food Reck-
less expectation, OF stock foods which
must be brought back to the shipping
point in less than three months, in

The fifth annual county free fair
