Grafton. the county farm agent as
serted. Two.thlrds OF the Grady
county wheat crop Is In shock and
can be saved with favorable wealth
or conditions. Mr. Houston pointed
out, however. that the rainfall In
the shocks probably will decrease
the quality OF the grain.
Figures IN the county agents off
Ice give the Grady county wheat
acreage as 3i,7S9. approximately S5
per cent OF the 1920 acreage.
oat Crop Failed
The couniy's oat crop is dis
tinct failure, according to Agent
Houston. Only small amount OF
the oat crop is cut. the grain Is ripe
AMI is dropping to the ground with
more regularity than wheat. "Our
oat crop will amount to practically
nothing" Mr.. Houston said. The
oat acreage Is given as 20.512, a
decrease from the 1920 acreage.
Cotton prospects are bright. with
but one exception. this being that
the crab grass and weeds are gain
ing stronghold in the fields. Far
mers are unable to get into the
fields to work and the crop, 1t is
said, may suffer from lack of culti-
yation. IL is estimated that 5S.98S
acrdy of land in Grady county is
planted to cotton, these figures be-
ing only about 60 per cent of last
years acreage.
Barley Makes Good
While Grady county oats were
failing, the barley crop was progress
ing and, despite the recent rains,
has proven to be one of the county's
most successful 1921 crops. Prac-
tically all barley in this county has
been harvested.
Corn prospects are bright, although
il is suffering for lack of cultivation.
The same condition prevails in sor-
ghum crop fields and 1t is said that
several Kafir and milo maze fields
will be pastured rather than harvest
ed.
Overflow waters from the river and
creeks have caused considerable
loss to Grady county farmers, Mr..
Houston said.
g A thorough survey of crop condi-
tions in the county indicates that
the. farm production this year will
be somewhat below last years mark.

Reports this morning from the

east of town showed this morning
that during the night the river came
up to the record mark of 1915.

Shut Down Eleven Days

The water power plant Of the
Chickasha Gas and Electric company
has been out Of commission for
eleven days, according to Mr.. Shat
fer. On the night of June 12, the
water reached point registering
five feet over the dam. That mark
made the flood sufficiently high to
put the plant out of commission. 1t
has not turned wheel since.
The lowlands between Chickasha
and the plant are under water and a
boat is required to reach the power
house from the Chickasha side.
There is another way to reach it,
however, which is used mostly by
Mr.. Shaffer. He drives to Lucille,
then crosses on the bridge there and
then comes back up on the east side
of the stream. This makes a drive

Hobart. The company needed the land
