LESSER WHEAT ACREAGE
SUPPLAN TED BY B| GEER
COTTON AND CORN CROP

There viii be an increase in cot
ton acreage this year in Carter
county Of from % to 2j por cent.
This increase is due to the failure
cf the wheat farmers TO sow the
usual crop Of wheat on account of
the continuous rainy weather.
a large acreage will be devoted
TO oats this year, and barley crop
which has never been large here
will be increased several hundred
per cent.
Barley is being raised chiefly as
feed for hogs.
An improved variety of cotton seed
is being planted and should the sea-
son be favorable Carter county will
raise the finest crop Of cotton this
year that ii has ever raised in its
history.

Oklahoma City, March 10.-The bu'
roau Of crop estimates in co.opera'
ton with the oklahoma department
of agriculture makes the following
report on the stocks of grain on
farms us Of March /, aS compiled
from the reports of its various class
cs Of correspondents and special in
quirics.
Corn: Not since 1916 has there
been such a large percentage OF
corn on farms ON March ]. In that
year, as in 1920, the shortage of
ears made it difficult for the farme rs
to move their crops. A number OF
the northerp counties have been
forced to ship corn in to offset their
small production, but most counties
had a surplus to ship out. The
percentage Of merchantable grain
was greater than it has been since
the 1915 crop and is estimated at
IS per cent. IN n number Of coun.
ties the continued rains Of last fall
reduced the quality, but for the most
part there was more merchantable
corn than usual.

But for the inability 10 ship. 1t Is

crop was still on the farms, which
indicates that II per cent had been
disposed of in the past three months.
on March !, 1916, when the farmers
were holding their grain for better
prices, - per cent remained on the
farms 1t appears that 10 per cent
of the 1919 crop has been shipped out
Of the counties where grown as
compared with 20 per cent last year
and 50 per cent in 1916
oats The eastern and southern dis
tricls Of the state, where much of the
commercial crop is produced. retained
almost q third of their crop of oats
ON March /; the average on all farms
was 33 per cent. The percentage
shipped out Of the counties was 20
per cent. The quality Of the crop
was better than the average and the
production ~ 800 900 bushels, the
greatest the state has ever pro.
duced.
Barley: An unusually large amount
Of barloy-G0 per remained on
farms ON March ] 1916 is the only
year comparable when 25 per cent
of the crop remained in the hands

who had recognized it as one of the
most dependable Of the crops for
Oklahoma.
Tho value OF average plow lands
in Oklahoma has risen "a per cent
since this time IN 1919 and the aver
age value of all farm lands without
improvements has risen q per cent.
The value of improvements has risen
from an average Of 5000 an acre

ton Of the state where the values
were comparatively low in past years

to $40 per acre. If we take l35
acres as the average size of farms in
Oklahoma then the average value
Of improvements per farm amounts
to $l,155. The average value of

tral portion Of the state-sl7 90.

N. Y. U. ELEVEN READY.
VIII Go to Clinton to Meet Ham
iIton Tomorrow.

The New York University eleven held
its final practice of the week at Ohio
Field yesterday afternoon. The Violet
team meets the Hamilton College agSre-
cation at Clinton, n. Y, tomorrow, and
went through it's last practice in prep
aration for the hard game expected from
the up-Staters.
At the end OF a hard weeks practice
the Violet team appears to be In a
favorable physical condition for to-mor-
rows game, having been bolstered in a
number of places by the insertion of
substitutes in the lineup and shifting
some players around. After the workout
yesterday Gargan felt confident that the
New York team with its rearranged line
up would be strong enough to set the
Hamilton eleven back when the two
teams meet tomorrow
The team as IL is expected to line up
tomorrow will probably contain the fol-
lowing men: Adams and Minton, ends
Pitt and Hugginweg, tackles; Horrigan
and Quincy, guards Brin. centre Bour-
ginon, quarterback Weinheimer and
Sherfee. halfbacks, and Jackson, full
back. In spite of the unpleasant outlook
at the beginning of the week because of
the many injuries suffered in the game
against Wesleyan last Saturday, the
team has rounded into fairly good shape.

by the 1919 outfit.
All the leading players are At for the

WHITE BALL MAKES
APPEARANCE AT PENN
Heisnon Takes Measures to
Lengthen Practice Period.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 21.-A white
ball is the latest innovation by John w.
Heisman at Penn. The former Georgia
Tech. tutor Is not satisfied with the
length of time the Red and Blue squad
can spend on Franklin Field, and with
the white oval the scrimmage can be
long after shutdown.
The varsity was given long drill on
the offense to-day, and at times gave
evidence of a great deal of power and
drive. In the scrimmage, which lasted
an hour, the varsity carried the ball
over the scrub goal line for five touch
downs. Eddie Farrell, last year fresh
man star. did some spectacular work,
scoring three of the five touchdowns.
Eddie hit the scrub line for big gains
and got loose around the ends for good
advances.
George Wagner, one of the most prom
Using line candidates. Is suffering from
an infected tooth. Wagner also has
many late classes and it is said that he
will soon quit the gridiron.
Claude Crawford, the Parkersburg
(West Va.) lad, may be dropped from
Penn. Crawford is a very valuable
wing man, but has fallen behind in his
work.
Heisman used his pony backfleld in
the scrlmmage to-day, starting Rex
Wray at quarterback, Farrell and Saw
yer halfbacks and Caldwell fullback.
