Grady Crop Hard Hill According 10 Farm
Agent; Stock Turned Ia Fields In
\ Some Sections.
NORTHERN GRADY

MncO and Tulle Districts Have Fair
Crops; Eight Mile Radius Around
Chickasha Practically Nil

The 1918 wheat production in the
immediate vicinity of Chickasha will
not be worth the trouble of harvest.
ing, in many places stock have al
ready been turned into the fields, ac
cording to farm agent O. c. Cooper
who returned late yesterday from a
trip through the northern part of the
county For a radius of eight or
ten miles around Chickasha wheat
will produce positively nothing, Mr.
Cooper states.
In some parts of the fields that
We're ruined by the continued drouth,
the reap may reach two or three
bushels to the acre but elsewhere in
this region prospects are scant, It is
thought An attempt was made the
first Of the week to start the wheat
harvest around chickasi.a in the low
Alaces where some of the grain had
inatured to a small extent but this
was found impossible because of the
miry condition Of the land that VIII
not bear up the binders.
Near Tuttle and Minco the outlook
is much better, the farm agent be-
ieves. Some acreages to the north
will produce from seven to twelve
bushels to the acre. Harvesting has
been started at both these places
and will be over in short time, ac-
cording to Mr.. Cooper this morning.
Cutting started around Tuttle yester-
day and has been going on near
Minco since the first OF the week.
Hopes for a good oat crop in Grady
county were abandoned some time
ago.
Securing harvest hands for all the
county, will be no easy matter how
ever, Arthur Ersland, Of the Retail
Merchants association stated today.
Men are needed badly in the fields
o fthe county and a draft of those
who registered recently for two
weeks far service is scheduled to
open at once. Several hundred men
can be used inside of the next two
weeks, Mr. Ersland declares. A
company of school boys have been
put to work but these are not feed
to handle all of the hardest harvest
ing.
South of Chickasha, out of the ter
ritory not affected because of a
shortage of rain, the wheat will pro-
duce well. according to Ben Vaughn
/ who was in the city yesterday even
\ ing. Mr.. Vaughn states that the
wheat in that section will yield an
average of about ten bushels. There
is not a large acreage in the south
ern part of the county, however.

but presently butchered. When none
remained but old men, women and
children, great companies of these
were formed to be driven off into exile.
The more attractive girls and young
women were seized by their lasciv-
ious masters, and thousands were sold
into life of slavery and shame.
Hundreds of thousands of Armenian
girls and women were thus ravished
and deported. Thousands were driven
into the rivers to drown. Thousands
died by the wayside, for many of the
exiles were on the road from three to
five months. Out of one band of 1000
exiles scarcely 400 reached their des-
tination-3s0 men and boys and IS wo-
men had been massacred or drowned;
120 young women and girls had been
carried off.
Thus the whole Armenian popula-
ton of Turkey, except for the few who
escaped into the mountains, were
massacred or driven into exile The
Turkish troops who accompanied the
again until they were left almost
exiles plundered them time and time
naked. Thousands of babes at the
breast persisted. Thousands of Ar

pirates. Girls were ravished before
the eyes of their mothers; and thou

inal assaults of the brutal Turkish
soldiers.

and Germany alike, is that they did
occur We Americans do not yet rea-

the kaiser's hordes in Northern France
and Belgium; but We have hardly be-
gun to realize the devastation and
murder wrought by his loyal, brave
ally, Turkey" Those were Won Hert-
lings words. uttered less than a year
ago, after the kaiser's visit to his dear
friends in Constantinople.
In the New York Times of Deem

clared that the following crimes had

and children. and the confiscation OF
their property.
1.-THE expulsion beyond the limits OF
the state of 100000 Greeks and the
