Oklahoma Crop Notes

Rains fell over practically the en-
tire state during the middle of the
week followed by colder weather the
latter half. The heaviest precipita-
tion was recorded in the northern
and eastern counties. where more
than an inch of rain was reported in
various places. The drought was
broken in the southwestern part; AL
tus reporting 81 of an inch. Points
throughout the heaviest wheat pro-
ducing sections in the western part
of the state have reported rainfall
from 20 to 10 of an inch.
When the weather becomes more
moderate in the western counties,
the farmers in these sections will be
able to resume their plowing for
spring crops, which has been held up
for some time due to lack of mois-
turc. Farm work in these parts is
below normal for this time of the
year and considerably behind as COM
pared with other parts of the state.
Wheat shows a slight improve
ment throughout the important pro-
ducing sections having been mater
tally benefited by the recent rains.
The 1922 crop will probably show one
of the heaviest abandonment figures
ever reported for the state.
The sowing of oats continued
north-ward in the state during the
week. Those farmers who were hold
ing off on account of moisture con-
ditions will be able to finish their
plowing and seeding in the very near
future.
More than $4.O0O.OOO.O0 in appli-
cations have been approved to date
by the War Finance Corporation and
the money distributed to the various
banks and other organizations in the
state. An increased interest is shown
by the number of applications which
are rapidly being passed upon.
The Oklahoma National Bank of
Skiatook, Oklahoma has, in the
making, very interesting and
substantial proposition designated to
help the farmers of that communi-
ty. With the cooperation of the
other business men. they are contem-
plating hiring an experienced man on
a yearly salary, whose duty will be
similar to the county agent but the
real object in view is to better mar
keting conditions. They are anxious
to establish a good year-round mar
ket for their products and to decrease !
the size of the farms. Instead )r
having the average farm of 1873 acres
they desire to split these farms in
to tracts of 40 and 60 acres. in or
der that each farmer will be able I
to farm profitably and get the best ,
returns per acre from the acreage in .
cultivation.
Skiatook is connected with Tulsa
by hard-surfaced road and there is
no reason why this proposition would
not be good investment for the buSi-
ness men of that community. OF
course they are keeping in mind the
profits from the cows, hogs and
chickens.
Farmers all over the state appear
more optimistic in their plans for
the coming crop year; especially is
this true in the cotton counties that
suffer the heaviest losses last year.
Farm work is reported above normal
in all sections except in the western
where they have been hald
up by the continued dry weather of
the past

Uncle Joe Lights Cigar
As He Leaves Earlham
For Next Lap OF Trip

Uncle Joe" Cannon waved a hand
toward the north part of Earlham
campus as his car left the college
grounds, Friday. Right there is where
the old football field used TO be" he
said. Then he pulled out the newt
able cigar and settled down for the
next lap of his journey from Washing
ton to his home in Danville, Ill.
Il recall my first train ride distinct
ly," said Mr. Cannon. THE people of
Knightstown had buitt a railroad from
that town to Indianapolis and l rode
the train on my way home from col
lege"
Mr. Cannon commented On the con-
dition Of the roads. THE route through
the mountains was just as smooth as
it is here in Richmond" he said.
Evidence that the route from Rich
mond to Centerville was smooth
enough is seen in the fact that when
the Cannon car left the city it was
making 40 miles an hour. On the out
skirts Of Centerville, it was making 81.
Uncle Joe" was to be entertained
in Indianapolis by Mr.. and Mrs. Viii
liam Canaday. A telegram inviting
him to make the stop there was re-
ceived by him at Earlham.
Lester Morris, Uncle Joe's" chauf-
feur, was his only companion on the
trip.

Ter Higgins Yankees stood today in
the shadows of their own tomb They
must recover from the blight of the
phantom, Long John Scott, whose rat
ting tar-heel bones gave them a scare
yesterday from the likes of which only
one team in world series history has

The unearthly pitching that the
spook brought from the cemetery caus-

second in the series for the Yankees.
In the series of 1921, the Giants set
a precedent by winning the title after
spotting the Yanks to the first two
games.
Long Johns pitching bones were
laid to rest last July. Pat Moran, OF
