FIRST CUTTING
ALF ALTA IS ON
OVER GRADY CO.
Conditions Point to Prosperous Year
for Growers Here; Acreage Esti-
mated at $4,000; Biggest On
Record.

Alfalfa harvest is now well under
way in Gladly county, according to ]
W. Owens, county agricultural agent
The county's alfalfa acreage is es
timated by Mr.. Owens at 1906
acres, the largest ever planted In
Grady county, and exceeding the 1918
acreage by approximately : Is per
cent. Unfavorable sowing conditions
kept tho 1920 acreage below the 30
900 mark, Agent Owens declares.
Thirty days will be required to
complete the harvesting OF the coun-
ty's first cutting of alfalfa, growers
believe. They predict a production
Of ono ton per acre. The average
crop Will produce four cuttings.
A major portion of the alfalfa har-
vested in Grady county is being sold
at local markets The alfalfa pro
ducing sections of the county are
around Chickasha, Tabler Alex, Brad
ley, Verden, and the river and creek
bottoms. Prices being offered range
from SIS ton. the same price offer
ed here last year.
Farm Labor Plentiful.
For the first time since the Unit
ed States entered the great world
war, there is an adequate supply OF
farm labor. Agent Owens reports
that at present, there Is a surplus OF
farm labor in Chickasha and that all
demands for farm labor have been
filled.
The demand for farm labor in
Grady county this year has not been
as great as in 1919 Mr.. Owens said
adding that this condition was
brought about by the purchasing OF
many tractors since the first OF the
wear. Hundreds of tractors, which
decrease the necessity of farm labor
are now in use in this county, Ow-
ems reports.
With ready market, with the
crop unmolested with pests, with the
quality normal despite the heavy
rain during the past six weeks, with
an abundance of labor and ma
chinery to harvest the crops, Grady
county alfalfa growers arc facing
prosperous year, the county agent
