CROP CONDITIONS
MOST PROMISING
Optimist Will Find Good
Reason for Rejoicing
In Crop Report

A business optimist will find rea-
son for rejoicing, and pessimist
should find cause TO alleviate his
chronic melancholia. In general crop
conditions in Oklahoma at this time.
according to G. II. Howard. manager
Of the mortgage loan department of
the Exchange Trust company.
Farmers have more feed in the
way of alfalfa, prairie hay. kaffir
corn, milo maize and other forage
crops than they have ever possessed
In any previous year. Howard's crop
report. compiled from trips through
out oklahoma, states. The open
fall has been such that the stock
has been kept in splendid physical
shape without the use of any OF
this forage, so there will be a sur
| plus OF feed stuff. Tho abundant
| corn crop assures many and we'll
| fed hogs In general, all the farm
ers are better situated to live more
nearly at home than they have ever
| been"
Probably the largest crop OF
| pecans in the history OF the state
1 has Just been gathered and thou
| sands Of farmers whose cotton
crops were devastated by the boil
weevil went out into the pecan
groves and sold sufficient nuts
I therefrom to pay theN taxes and
interest with additional sums to boot,
1 Howard estimates. The dry warm
weather has been very beneficial to
4 the farmers who had cotton and
| corn and other crops together Cot
/ ton is practically all picked out and
the yield is much heavier than had
| been anticipated because of the boil
weevil. and 1t is considered likely
that the total cotton yield will reach
around the half million mark. the
| best cotton crops being produced in
the southwestern part of the state.
The corn crop, now practically all
| gathered In. Is equal to, and even in
/ excess of. any crop that Oklahoma
has grown. OF the Crops-to- be
| Howard says: There has been suf-
| ficient rainfall over the eastern halt
OF Oklahoma to place the ground In
good plOwing condition and a large
| portion OF these lands have been
plowed, with a good seed bed prom
ised for next spring"
Farmers are conserving and saw
ing more than hitherto, and less ma.
terials are going TO waste, Is the
silver lining which Howard finds In
the admitted cloud of financial de.
flation. Though the farmer has felt
the country wide financial condition
as much as any other class. he is
not downcast. but will go into the
new year proposing to obtain better
crops by diversification and scien.
tific farming.
