ETITIONS
FOR AGENT
CIRCULATED
Many Signers Secured Over the
County Favoring Retention
County Farm Man, Say Re-
ports Received.

That the agricultural element of
Grady county strongly favors the
continuance of the office of the
county farm agent, is evidenced in
reports received in Chickasha to-
day.
In every section of the county
where petitions are being circulated
asking the Board of County Commits
sioners to make an appropriation for
the support and maintenance of the
farm agents office, the movement is
meeting wit happroyal say reports.
Rush Springs Says Eyes"

1t was reported to the farm bu-
reau office that large majority Of
the farmers in the Rush Springs
township and the town of Rush
Springs were signing the petition,
and that all southern Grady county

tee of land owners and farmers head
ed by Chas. ReynolGs and Oscar

About 10000 Acres in
Grady.
CONDITION IMPROVES
50 PER CENT, REPORT
Crop Rapidly Being Cleaned;
Blooms and Squares Being
Put On; See Bumper Crop
for Farmers.

There's no getting away from the
fact that Old Sol Is dealing out some
super-heated days, which are accom-
panied by many lamentations on the
part of sundry citizens, but there is
one class Of individuals that is wear
ing smile and board one at
that He is the cotton planter, for
this brand of weather is made-to-
order for him
Two weeks ago the cotton men
and growers of the county we're
wearing doleful looking faces. The
ground was wet and had been since
last winter. The weather was cool
and the cotton, that had struggled
through the ground was at stand
still. Much had been replanted and
was sick, but it is booming.
Growing Crop is Fine.
The growing condition, cotton men
say, shows so percent increase at
this time over two weeks ago, and
prospects are for a continuance of
the rapid growth, The crop in this
quarter is, 1t is estimated, about
three weeks late, but it is rapidly
regaining the advantage lost through
the cold, wet weather OF the early
summer.
The crop 70 in bloom and there
are many squares being put on. The
stuff that was planted late, some
growers claim, Is beating the cotton
that came through the ground, but
was stunted by the cold, damp
weather. Other growers deny this
statement and declare that the plant
that was up and started when the
hot. dry days came, has the adyanta-
age over the replanted stuff. This
Is the only point on which the
growers or cotton men bubble. They
are unanimous in the opinion that
the chances Of Grady county cotton
growers for bumper crop we're
never better
Acreage Is Short.
Cotton men here estimate that In
Oklahoma, from the Rock Island
west, the crop Is cut about 45 per-
cent under last years acreage. AT
that, there is a great deal of cotton
planted, as last year there was an
abnormal acreage, they state.
In Grady county The crop is cut
about $4,000 acres, j. w Owens,
county farm agent, stated this morn
ing According to the figures, last
years crop comprised about $4,000
acres, while this year it Is given as
10000
High class Shows Form.
Mr.. owen stated that the fine seed
of the Acala cotton that was brought
to Grady county by special arrange
ment this year. is showing fine form.
1t is, he states, showing a growing
condition of so percent better than
the ordinary class of cotton.
There are so percent more blooms
and squares on this cotton at this
time, than on the ordinary cotton,
said Mr.. Owens this morning.
From the general trend OF things
and the outlook at present, Grady
county this fall will harveat one OF
the bumper cotton crops in the his
tory of the county. unless something
Unforeseen appears to knock the
prospects in the head The farmer;
are busy and the crop is rapidly
being cleaned In many sections ol
the county, the cotton is thoroughly
