TWENTY-FOUR DAYS
 PASS WITHOUT RAIN
Month Of Dry Weather In Birming
 ham Looming As Possibility

Birmingham is having it's longest dry spell of the year. There has not been a single rain recorded by the weather bureau since September 20, three weeks and four days ago. A shower September 20 was the first that amounted to more than light sprinkle since three weeks before, according to weather bureau officials.
 Until August 2S, when that dry period set in, the year had been char acterized by frequent rains. Indica- tions are that the present dry spell is likely to last several days longer, as the weather bureau gives no prom ise of a rain any time soon.
 There were prolonged dry spells in 1914, when there were no showers between October 16 and November [. and also in 1916, when it did not rain from October 20 until Decem- Der 10.

without proper security. The govern ment would be asked to finance those whom the banks rejected. Mir. Mon dell pointed out that the government could not create markets where none existed. The government is not pow erful enough to disregard economic ic law which is precisely what it Is be- ing asked to do in all the fanciful schemes being proposed.
 There is not likely to be a boom in industry such as we have re- gently experienced, but there is likely to be a period indefinitely prolonged of steady, healthy activity. which will be augmented by whatever inn provement there may be in the European situation.

Reconstruction in textile industries in northern France has advanced to such an extent that in some in- stances pre-war production has been exceeded. Extensive replacement of machinery destroyed during the war with the newest and most improved types, in spite of its excessive cost, has resulted in greatly increased capacity. Many plants are fully as up-to date as any to be found in the United States.

FARMER ERS NUT AS BAD OFF AS THEY ARE REPRESENTED
Brown Says There Has Been Lots Of Loose Talk About
 Grain Growers Plight
By WALTER II. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial. (By Leased Fire to The Age-HeraldO

NEW YORK Oct 14.-The one source of economic agitation con corning which there has been more or less anxiety has been the condi tion of the wheat farmers in the northwest. There Is no denying the fact that the low prices that have prevailed for wheat have not given the farmer a commensurate return in proportion to what he has had to pay for manufactured goods. He Is at serious disadvantage in paying off maturing obligations based upon the inflated land values.
 A great deal of harm has been done by self-appointed spokesmen who have represented the farmers as being either bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy, so that there has actually grown up fear Cn the part of eastern bankers that western farm mortgages and other farm obi- gations were doubtful security. A visiting editor of one of the most influential daily papers in that terri tory told the writer that this atti- tudc on the part of eastern financial interests was becoming a matter of serious concern to western borrow CTS
 q do not blame them" he said, 'because there has been altogether too much irresponsible talk on this subject. It is true that there are cases of distress as result of the low price of wheat, and that taken able season for the wheat raisers. But taking the agricultural commu- nifty as ' whole, they are not sG hard hit as it is made to seem, be- cause they are not all dependent upon single crops Those who had are overloaded with debt due to un wise land speculation, or who have no reserves, are naturally up against it, but 1t is not the case with all farmers, nor the majority of them. A, Sales Heavy.
 Sales of automobiles continue heavy in these agricultural states. and in the two farming states of Iowa and Nebraska there are more automobiles per capita than in any other section of the United States. Much of this gitation is political. There is good buying power in all the farming states, not so good in some localities as might be, but good enough to be satisfactory"
 Pressure has been brought to bear upon President Coolidge to call a special session of congress in ad vance of the regular session in De- cember to take some action to stabil ize wheat prices, but the President asked that definite plan be sub mitted before hand, and none has been forthcoming. He has pointed out that the war finance corporation could function without new legisla ton and forthwith directed that body to take whatever steps were possible to aid wheat exports.
 Former Congressman Mondell, who is now a member of the war finance corporation, has recently stated to the President that he did not see how xUa by that method, because the corpor- ation could not finance foreign buy CTS who did not have good bankable security and if they had, they did not need the services of the corporation, nasmnch as private banking organ ization could take care of them.

Seafood industry developments along the waters within the terri torial Jurisdiction of Alabama will re- suit from the passage of oyster legs lation during the recent session of the legislature, in the opinion of mem bers of the Mobile delegation and others conversant with the purpose of the act.
 Provisions are set out in the act for the planting of seed oysters in Lndeveloped bottoms by the authori- ties of the state and authorizing the expenditure in seafood up-building enterprises of all funds derived from tax on the oyster output. The bill raises the tax on oysters from three to five cents per barrel. The amend ment which permits the exclusive use of the tax funds for development of the industry was inserted by the Mobile legislators before the bill was finally submitted for enactment.

Pruning Fruit Trees Is
Job for Dormant Se.Oo,


The pruning Of fruit trees and sror
fruits which grow in this state NAV he
oone at any time during the dormant
season. The fruiting Characteristic ~
any plant should be borne in mind IN
pruning the same. BY fruit bab,t ,s
meant the age of the wood upon which
the fruit Is regularly borne. Low
headed trees are better adapted to
Oklahoma conditions than high headed
rees. In other words, trees with lou,
branches are preferable in this state
on account Of being less apt to sun
stsald, stand the wind better and are
more easily and cheaply cared for
Where one-year trees or whips are set
out OF stone fruits such as peaches.
cherries, ETC., they should be cut back
to a height of from IS to "a inches
Where such trees are branched cut the
top back to the height just mentioned.
Also cut the branches back until about
one-third Of the original length is left,
but In case Of very small branches cut
them back until about two or three
buds are left. Subsequent pruning for
the next two years should consist Of
cutting the branches back about one
third, leaving about four original scat
fold limbs.
In case Of apples and pears the fruit
Is borne as a rule on two-year-old
wood or older. Remove all broken or
cross limbs and thin the remainder so
that the light and sun may penetrate
the interior Of the trees. Otherwise
the fruit spurs of the interior will
sooner or later become shaded out
Do not cut back the ends of limbs Of
apples as this will produce excessive
branching at the end which will ex-
clude the light. In removing an apple
limb cut 1t back to where it branches
from another branch or trunk. Where
large limbs are removed let the would
dry for few days and then paint it
over with whatever available paint
there is on the place.
Peaches are borne on one-year-old
wood only. Remarks concerning the
removing of crossed or dead limbs ap-
ply to the peach. Where the peach
limbs are too thick thin them out.
The annual pruning of a peach should
consist of cutting back about one-half
at last years growth. In this way the
peaches will be thinned and the por-
tion Of last years wood left will
branch the current growing season,
thus increasing the fruiting wood for
another year and at the same time
keep the fruit near the main portion
Of the tree. japanese plums are /
pruned the same as peaches; the other
species will only require the removing
Of dead or crossed limbs and the thin
ming of limbs where too thick. These
remarks apply equally TO the cherry.

,ulturist, Oklahoma A. and NJ. College.
