but slight injury. An unusually large
amount Of plowing for this time of the
year has been done.
only three years in the past two
decades have exceeded this years
Corn yield. In 1904, the average was
3O.2 bushels per acre; in 1906 1913
bushels; and 29.5 bushels in 1915.
There have been seven years, however,
whose total production surpassed that
OF 1920. Starting with 2, 100000
acres in corn in 1901, the average
showed a steady increase until it
reached some 100000 acres in 1919;
since then each year practically has
witnessed decline until today the
average is but small percentage
greater than it was twenty years ago
Our farmers are learning which sec
tions are adapted to corn and which
are better for kafir, milo and other
grain sorghums.
The yield of white potatoes COM
pares very well with last years.
But for lack of sufficient moisture
at the time of ripening of the main
crop, undoubtedly this would have
been as good season as in 1902
when the average yield was 81 BUSH
els per acre. The percentage grown
for market has not varied from the
usual and remains at slightly less than
one-third Of the crop. So far this
season, a total of 53S cars of white
potatoes have been shipped; for the
same period last year, 658 cars; and
total of GIT cars for the entire
last season.
The record of the Bureau of Mar
kets shows but cars of sweet pota.
toes shipped this season prior to Nov.
ember 2 and total of 10 cars fol-
last season. The yield and quality OF
this years crop are very good, with
the average the same as in 1915
The percentage reported as grown fol
market is somewhat below the 40 pei
cent of 1919.
! The average yield of the Grair
Sorghums this year is the best on re
cord; the yield of both grain ant
forage is very good. The distribu
tion of rainfall favored the CREATE
portion of the West where the bull
Of kafir, milo and feterita is grown
These sOrghums are grown in the fol
lowing proportions; kafir AZ per cent
milo AZ per cent; feterita per cent
all other per cent. Practically 9
per cent of the land in cultivate,
crops in the western third of Oklaho
ma is devoted to the grain sorghums
Cotton suffered severe damage dur
ing the latter part of October from
the almost continuous series of heav,
rains. Bottom fields in many instan
ces were flooded and the crops great!
injured. Since the rains much of tn
lint is grading low middling with tn
average at strict low. A large pro
portion of this is stained. The yiel
Of Sorghum Sirup has been unusuall
high this year and considerably bet
ter than the average.
