Cold weather has again intcrfcred
with operations in the Oklahoma
oil fields. While the present Sit
uatiou is not serious, the weather
has been cold enough the pas. few
days TO cause numerous shutdown,
on account OF frozen water pipes.
Another handicap in these fields /,
lack OF water. Many contemplated
operations are waiting on the rains
to fill the tanks and ponds, cspcc-
tally in the districts where Wild
eating is being done. I'm section
8 3s2w, Henry Markham and as
sociatcs have drilled two shallow
gas wells expecting to use the gas
for fuel with which to make Il deep
test in this section, and arc now
waiting for rains to furnish water.
Several wildcat tests in the / south
and ; west country are waiting ON
the water question: and the same
condition applies to many other
fields. However, the ou,loOk for a
busy season, when the weather and
rains will permit, is favorable, and
with the present prospect of better
prices for crude oil it j, not at all
unlikely that one or more new field,
in this section of the state may be
opened during the coming SUMMER.

Harvest Splendid Crop
Through Sioux County
Rain has Delayed Harvesting . Few
Days but Work 10 Again Going on.--
Splendid Crop Record

Rain the first Of the week has
delayed harvesting in this Sec
ton, but with favorable weather
from now on mostsof the grain will
be in the shock in a few days.
Some early flax is also ready to be
cut, and the harvest is from a week
to ten days earlier than usual.
Reports from every section of
Sioux county are very favorable.
While no threshinRis reported yet,
estimates are that wheat will yield
ion an average of from 10 to Is
bushel per acre throughout the
county. Rye was also a good crop,
and so is oats and barley.
There is big acreage in flax in
Sioux county, and the recent rains
have helped this crop wonderfully. 1t
is freely predicted that flax will
make the biggest yield for years.
With the price near the IS mark
many farmers will clean up thous-
ands of dollars on this crop besides
paying for their land.
Corn and potatoes are doing fine.
Taken altogether prospects could
not be more encouraging, and the
farmers all through this favored
section will be abundantly reward
ed for their seasons labor.
Hay is also good. With plenty
feed for the winter and the farmers
able to keep their young cattle off
the market, the conditions are very
encouraging.
