STATE AGn CUL TURAL
DEPA RTMENT ISSUES
STATEMENT Of CROP
CONDITIONS IN STATE
WEATHER DURING PAST MONTH
HAS MATERIALLY DAMAGED
OKLAHOMA COTTON TO
GRADE LOW"

Oklahoma City. Nov. S.-Only three
years in the last two decades have
exceeded this years corn yield. ac-
cording to the monthly report on crop
conditions and estimates issued today
by the board OF crop estimates of the
state department OF agriculture. These
years were 1904, 1907 and 1906.
The acreage planted in corn in the
state, the report states. is only slight
| ly greater than in 1900. In that year
the acreage was 100000 increasing
yearly until 1909 when it reached g.
900 900. Since then each year has wit
messed decline until the total is
about what it was 20 years ago. The
reason assigned by the report is that
Oklahoma farmers are learning which
sections are better adapted to corn
and which are better for kafir. milo
and other grain and other sorghums.
The yield OF white potatoes compares
very we'll with that of last year and
but for lack OF sufficient moisture
at the time Of ripening, would have
undoubtedly been as good as in 1902
when record average Of 81 bushels
to the acre was recorded.
The records OF the bureau OF mark
cts show only two cars OF sweet po-
tatoes shipped this season prior to No.
vember >, as compared to 10 last year
The yield and quality OF this years
crop are very good.
The average and yield of the grain
sorghums this year is the best OF
record, according to the report. The
abundant rainfall in the west por'
ton of the state where most of the
kafir, milo, feterita and other grair
sorghums are grown. was beneficial
Cotton suffered serious damage dur

SLAIN OFFICERS
Names of 4,500 American
Commissioned Men Will
Be Inscribed on Fame'S
Tablets

New York, Move S.-The names OF
more than $500 commissioned Off
GERS, who paid the supreme sacrifice
in the World War, will be enrolled
in the national memorial clubhouse
to be erected here for living officers.
OF this number New York City will
be represented by the names of 1886
commissioned men.
The club, of which Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske is president, used
the casualty report of the American
Expeditionary Force as a nucleus for
compilation of the list of officer dead
but through correspondence with gov
ernors, state adjutant generals. clubs,
lodges, business concerns and next of
kin the list of $500 officer dead as
officially announced in Washington in
December, 1919, has been supplements
ed by approximately 1000 names
Believing that other names are
missing and desiring to make the
club list the most complete and au-
thentic on record, Rear Admiral Fiske
has requested relatives and friends Of
officers who died, to communicate
with him at headquarters of the
memorial organization, POI Madison
Avenue.
Civil and military records of each Of
the enrolled dead officers with other
data, including copies. Of citations,
general orders, photographs and
memorial books will be preserved in
the archives of the new clubhouse.
The main feature of the building
will be 4 memorial court or hall, with
bronze paneled walls where the
names Of the dead will be engraved.
Records of those who won the Dis
tinguished Service Medal for excep-
tional acts of bravery will be en-
graved directly under their names
in order that future generations may
find inspiration in the valiant deeds OF
the past" it was announced.
While the building will stand as an
enduring monument to the heroic
dead the club has determined that
the memorial can best serve the in
terests of the nation by its usefulness
as a home for officers and as a
''rallying center for all forms OF pa
triotic activity" Consequently the
building will provide comfortable
quarters for officers who visit New
York.
Four committees sponsoring the
movement to build the memorial are
! headed by Major General Leonard
| Wood, Rear Admiral William $. Sims
Henry p. DAWSON. former head OF
the American Red Cross, and Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt, wife OF Genera
Vanderbilt.
The design Of the building will b,

submitted by leading architects o

includes Charles Dana Gibson, Edwin

Berlin Nov. s.--The former German
emperor William confidently expected
to emerge yictoriously from the world
war and then marshal his continen-
tai armies against England in what he
termed the second Punic war" says
Matthias Erzberger, in his volume of
far recollections just published at
Stuttgart. The emperor evidently used
the term "Punic war" in the sense Of
a conflict for world supremacy between
two great nations.
Erzberger, who was formerly minis
ter OF finances, but now has tempor-
ariy retired from public political acti-
vities, set forth in detail the meeting
between the then Emperor William

veg. and following the adoption OF
