OKLAHOMA CROPS
(By J. A. w%hitehurst president
State Board OF Agriculture.)

(By j. A. Whitehurst, president
State Board of Agriculture.)
Farmers and business men in
counties In Oklahoma where cotton
hitherto has been the chief crop are
now facing a very difficult problem.
Every consideration from the market
standpoint calls for holding the cot
ton acreage down at least to not
more than was planted in 1921. A
large %carry-over of cotton is newt
able and a big cotton crop in 1922
piled on top Of that is almost sure,
in the present demoralized state of
world business, to break prices be-
low the cost of production point.
The necessities of the situation
probably will hold down the cotton
acreage in the eastern t%wo-thirds OF
O"klahoma's cotton counties. Over
most Of that area, oats is a reason

moisture in the soil to give it a good
start. The time for starting oats
seeding is here along the southern
border and moisture generally is de-
ficient.
Dry weather has reduced the area
usually In wheat in southwestern
Oklahoma. Sufficient land to pro-
duce a surplus of feed crops in nor
NAL seasons is generally planted
there. 1t is inevitable that the cot
ton acreage will be increased there,
especially where yields were good in
1921. Oats is an uncertain crop in
that region, though spring barley
gives promise of profit If there is
moisture enough in February to
start 1t.
The n feature common to every
locality in the state is the necessity
of every farmer organizing his oper-

Of local high school boys. The Rovers,
led by Capt. Sterling. were victorious
over the Pilgrims. led by Tiny" Car
ter. by a score of 80 to II.
1t was one Of the fastest games
played this year, Saucier and Clapp-
rood starring for the winners. The
first period ended after a hard fight
with the Pilgrims on the big end Of the
score. The Rovers surely had been
rowing in this period. The second Pc
riod began very fast and snappy and
ended with the Rovers carrying the
scalp. They kept up their good work
until the end Of the game. Carter
and Fotter played a ssnappy game,
causing the winners to get disap-
pointed many times when they thought
they had the ball.

If the seed corn has not been test
ed. now is the time. The rag doll
system is simple and efficient. 1t is
much better to spend a little time
now wedding out the ears low in
termination than to spend several
days in the busy season this summer
rcplanting corn.
Beware OF the seed catalog with
the impossible claims. There never
was strawberry plant that would
produce two hundred berries or
pumpkins that hid the corn, as pic
lures in some unreliable catalogs in
dicate.
1t is time to be thinking about the
hot bed for starting the tomato. cab
bage and sweet potato plants. In the
south, tobacco seed will be planted
in the, cold frames. The hot bed
should be built on dry ground with a
southern exposure SO that it will get
all the sunlight possible. The SIM
plest type of hot bed is the one built
on top of the ground. 1t consists OF
wooden frame well packed with
rich manure containing considerable
straw. The manure is packed down
solid and well dampened. About six
inches of rich dirt or compost forms
the seed bed. A glass frame for the
top completes the. hot bed.-Farm

Leaders to Hurry
Continued from PAGE Onel

four power treaty negotiations, and
let it be known that his reply to the
resolution of request would be sent
to the capitol not later than Monday.
He is expected to tell the senate in q
brief message that no stenographic
record of the negotiations was kept,
or was practicable.
The committee discussions, which
began yesterday, developed few sur
prises in their disclosure of senate
sentiment. In the view of the Amer
iCan leaders they confirmed the lN-
pectatiOn that the four-power treaty
would encounter greatest opposition
that the naval limitation treaty
tors because OF its provision against
further Notifications of Guam and
the Philippises and that the general
far eastern and Chinese tariff treaties
might have some opponents among
those who had hoped to sec the con-
ference give China a greater measure
of independence from foreign inter-
ference.
The treaties relating to the Island
of zap and to submarines and poison
gas now are expected by the leaders
to meet with the least opposition of
all and some senators believe they
may go through without dissenting
vote.
1t also is the belief of those who
are plotting the treaties through the
senate that none of them face opposi-
finn
ification or even to assure adoption
of reservations. On the other hand,
reservation to prevent use of arm
ed forces under the four-power pact,
without he express authorization of
congress has gained SO much support
in the committee that some republic
an members think it will be adopted
there.
A second reservation talked of in
discussions of the four-power treaty
would provide for automatic termin-
alton of the agreement should any
signatory power violate it. Several
dcnials of each of these proposals
have been prepared by individual
senator's, though neither has been
formally presented in the committee,
Or definitely endorsed by any organ
lied senate group.
While house officials revealed today
that should the senate decide to
adopt reservation against use of
armed force under the four power
treaty. President Harding would not
lnterpose serious opposition although
he believes that no reservations are
necessary.
