WHEAT CROP IS FINE
AND DAMPNESS HURT
II BUT 3 PER CENT

Oklahoma CITY. June G.--In order to
circulate an extra crop bulletin about
June IL the state department of agri-
culture is sending queries to all of its
agents asking for the present condition
of wheat. the extent of rust and insect
damage and an estimate upon the yield.
These inquiries going out today are eX
pected to bring In valuable information
OF the state OF wheat in time to present
n final bulletin on the cereal just before
the statewide harvest is inaugurated.
Tillman county, the first TO report harry
est, sent word to the department that
the grain is of better quality and the
yield larger than in the history of wheat
production in that portion of the state.
In spite of widespread rumors that
rust. rains and insects have damaged
wheat to such an extent that % to 40
per cent decrease in the yield could be
expected. information reaching the de
partment from various portions of the
state indicates that the growing condi-
tion decreased only three per cent dur
ing May. The June l condition, 80 per
cent, is the highest average in the his
tory of the state. Red rust in almost
every section caused the three per cent
decrease, but the damage from this
source is regarded as very small. 1t Is
generally understood that red rust caus-
es little damage in this state. as II forms
on the leaves and rarely hinders ma
terially the growth or maturity of the
plant The 1918 condition on June l
was 73 per cent and this 20 per cent
increase over a year ago is regarded as
remarkable in view of the considerable
rains.
The condition Of oats, % per cent,
showed an increase Of per cent as com.
pared with May /. The condition of
oats on the same date i'm 1918 was S5
per cent The cut worm has consider
ably damaged corn and growing condi
tons have been very unfavorable. In
many parts of the state replanting has
been necessary. The June | condition of
alfalfa 81 per cent, is a decrease of
1 per cent compared with May |.
Compared to a year ago cotton acre
age has been decreased 81 per cent, not
as great as had been hoped for, but
the retrenchmert is general throughout
the cotton sections of the state. Much
of the acreage has been replanted as as
weather conditions during the spring
We're generally unfavorable. The 1919
acreage is estimated at 2,429 900.
Kafir and milo acreage has been de-
creased per cent as compared with the
area planted in 1918. The estimate on
the 1919 acreage is 1,21G,000 acres, but
this will probably be increased as aban-
doned acreages of other crops will prob
ably be replaced by these crops. Sor-
ghum acreage shows a decrease of per
cent. broom corn acreage ~ per cent
and peanut acreage per cent. Alfalfa
and Sudan grass acreage has been in
creased per cent This years acreage
for the crops mentioned are given as fol

Absence Would Be Dangerous.

Washington. Aug. 29.-Representa-
tive Rodenburg, Republican, Illinois,
introduced a resolution today propos-
ing that congress declare that the
president should postpone his pro-
posed tour OF the country at least
until such time as we may know
definitely the problems which con-
front us growing out of the country's
industrial situation and the cost of
living problem"
The resolution said the railroad and
labor situation generally Indicates
the necessity for immediate steps to
bring capital and labor together for a
better understanding; that congress
would soon adopt the presidents sug-
gestions to combat the cost of living
and that renewed absence OF the presi-
dent at time when his signature is
required to place in effect measures
adopted by congress to reduce the
high cost of living would occasion
serious delay in solving this vital
problem"
The resolution went over without
, debate.
A Second Resolution.
A second resolution, by which the
house alone would ask the president
to remain in Washington, was offered
by Representative Strong, Republican,
Kansas, who in an address in support

TO ELIMINATE ROUTINE
Chamber OF Commerce Adopts New
Plan Of Handling Bills.

A new order of things has been
adopted at the Chamber of Com
merce which is calculated to take a
large percentage of the routine bust
ness out of the regular sessions of
the board of directors. In the past
the meetings of the board were taken
up for the most part with allowing
the usual accumulation of bills. Under
the new plan the bills are to be o. KID
by the officers of the chamber and
presented to the board in bulk for al
lowance.
Bills for the month of July were
recommended for allowance at the
meeting of the officers today. The
next meeting of the board of directors
will be held at some time the week
after the close of the Kansas Free
fair
