CROP PROSPECTS
BEST IN YEARS
Federal Reporting Serv-

WHEAT HOLDING WELL
Cut of 10 to 20 Cents a
Bushel Made Where Rains
Have Been Frequent

OKLAHOMA CITY. okla, July
S0.-.-Crop prospects in Oklahoma
now are the best in many years, ac-
cording TO the weekly crop letter
issued late today by II. II. Schultz
OF the federal crop reporting service.
The report states:
Corn has continued making ex-
cellent progress. The early planted
corn Is made and that planted late
is growing rapidly except in those
parts of the south and west where
rain now is needed.
Cotton Good.
'NCtton is almost as good as any
year In Oklahoma at this period All
districts show marked improve
mant. There has been but little
shedding OF squares so far and in
scct damage is limited. Bottoms are
making too much weed where rain
fall has been too plentiful and fruit
ing has been retarded.
Broom corn is of good quality
and the harvest is extending over
the central section. Labor is be-
coming more plentiful. Much of
the third crop of alfalfa Is being left
for seed, especially where growth
Is short. Web-worms and gruss-
hoppers are causing some damage.
Prospects are favorable for n good
fourth cutting.
Wheat Holding Up.
Wheat yields are holding UP well,
although some reports are disap-
pointing Where rains have been
too frequent. a cut of 10 to 20 cents
bushel has been made. Not much
bundle grain has been stacked. A
part OF the crop on most farms has
been stored on the farms. Oats
suffered some damage in the shock
in the eastern section. Yields In the
neighborhood OF 40 bushels to the
age are not uncommon. Thresh-
ing of wheat, oats and barley prob
ably is half completed. Conditions

ally favorable and those operations

MINNESOTA HARVESTS
ANOTHER BIG CORN CROP
1920 Crop is Second Largest in His
tory of the State, Says Govern
ment Report


Notwithstanding rather unfavor-
able season, Minnesota's 1920 corn
crop is the second largest in it's his
tory, being lis, ,050;O00 bushels.
This crop was exceeded only ins1919
when the final production was 118s-
100000 bushels. This is the report
of Paul H. Kirk, Minnesota Statis-
tician for the Bureau of Crop Estim-
ates at Washington, D. G. The re-
port places the yield at 37.5 bushels
per acre compared to 40 bushels per
acre last. year. On account of exces-
sive moisture early in the season,
corn on low lands if not drowned out
was too wet for proper cultivation
which resulted in weedy growth and
stunted corn which tho it matured,
gave low yield. In the east central
part of the state some corn was dam
aged by hot, dry weather during
July which materially cut down
yields in that section. The quality
of the crop is 81 per cent of normal.
1t is estimated that II per cent of
the total acreage planted was cut for

silos this year and the average yield
per acre of this corn was tons per
acre. 1t is also estimated that about
go per cent of the crop is Of market
able quality. ..
The potato crop in this state pre-
sents rather a peculiar situation as
the total agricultural crop exceeds
that of 1919 while the commercial
crop will be less than one year ago.
This condition exists because the
southern part of the state where only
small percent of the commercial
crop is grown produced a crop above
the average this year while the
heavy. commercial district in the
east central part of the state, due to
being too wet early in the season and
too dry in the latter part Of the crop
season had much smaller CONNER
cial crop than in 1919. The total
commercial crop for 1920 is estim-
ated at slightly over $4,000 cars,
while the 1919 commercial crop was
about $4,000. cars. The 1920 agri-
cultural crop based on yield Of SO
bus. per acre 27,918,000 bushels
compared to 26,100,000 bushels pro-
duced in 1919. The quality of the
1920 crop is placed at 80 per cent
of normal. 1t is estimated that about
81 per cent of the total crop is grown
for market.

Paul Loehler in center.
In the backfield, Springston, Kay,

FISHER ADMITS CENTRE
MAY GET NO 1921 GAME

BOSTON, Nov. Histories appear
ing recently in local papers to the
effect that Harvard would stiffen Its
1921 football schedule and that Centre
College OF Kentucky was not likely
to appear on the list are borne out
IN an article by Coach Fisher, of the
Harvard football eleven.
Concerning Centre, Coach Fisher
said:
The Centre game was considered
by many as proof that Harvard had a
very powerful team, but those who
really knew football realized that
after all, on close analysis, Centre
College was no more than a mediocre
team"
His remarks anent the failure OF
the sinecure schedule follow:
1T seemed TO be the opinion of
Harvard men that the Harvard team
because Of experience against forward
passing elevens, would be able to
cope with anything which Princeton
might offer. Saturdays game proved
conclusively that Harvard has not
met any offense which was anything
near equal to that which Prince on
showed. This year. Just as last, the
Harvard team lacked opportunity OF
playing against a very strong team
prior to the Princeton game"
