CHOI' Ittil'OItT The crop report for Oklahoma, issued jointly Wednesday hy the U. S. IUueau of Cro Kstimatcs and the State I'ept. of Agriculture, shows the condition of irop to he as piod ns in any year on reeoid, even better than the high aveiae at thirf time last year.

Hut for the freeze in April, which damaged a large proportion of the fruit crop, the average would be still higher. Abundant rains have made an unusually large amount of early plowing nnd listing possible and most of the wheat land has been ready for seeding for some time. Wheat threshing was greatly re tarded during the month by frequent rains and some damage was done to shocks and stacks. Grass and volun teer wheat have made considerable extra work in fields ready for sow ing. Early corn is made with yields run ning as high as CO bushels and the late planted continues unusually high in condition.

No year, except 1015, in the past decade has so much as approached the excellent growth of this year's crop. It is usual for corn to deteriorate an average of 5 per cent during August; but this season's large acroage has made the most of the beneficent rainfall. A few places in the northwest and north-cast suffered local losses from insufficient rain or insect damage, but generally the crop has done very well. The Hay crops have done very well. The acreage of tame hay is U5 per cent of last year's; that of wild hay, 98 per cent.

The condition of all hay has averaged high throughout the season and yields have responded to tho timely rqins. Three cuttings of alfalfa have been made with promise for two more. The yields of clover, timothy, millet, sudan grass and other for hay have been very good. The Grain Sorghums have iontin-ued in good condition. The hulk of the soighums are grown in the west ern section, but this yeat the rains have been quite plentiful and have made wonderful yields of kafir, milo, fctcrita, etc.

Harvest has begun. Sorghum grown for has also done well, yields of 150 gallons of sirup being reported in the north. The condition of liroom Com has deteriorated slightly due to the effects of excessive rains which in some places in the we.t were accompanied by damaging is practically complete in the standard region and well udvanced in the dwarf section. The price of choice corn at Lindsay, the latter part of August, ranged from to $2.0.00, and common averaged $1. 10.09 with the bulk of the sales at from to a named.

The winter varieties require the longest time to mature. The small, round or oblong varieties, such as French Breakfast, Scarlet Globe ami Ued Scat let Turnip, v. Ill rcquiie only thieu to four weeks to matin from seed. Two ol the most popular long-limped varieties arc the White Icicle and Ued Chattier. The winter varie ties rfiich as Itluck Spanish and White Chinese, hae not proven to be very popular.

When planted too early in the late summer, the seed will frequently remain dormant until the weather conditions become cool.

Thus it is seen, by planting in a cool, moist location, such as to the north of a building, germination of seed can be earlier. Sumv.s-ive can be made from the last of July to the first of September. Where winter lettuce is desired, plant the seed in August and transplant to the cold frame in early Late plantings on the south side of a building will furnish supply for Uic table during late fall and early winter. Good, popular varieties of head lettuce are: Big Boston, Improved Hanson; while Grand Rapids nnd Black-Seeded Simpson are good leaf varieties. MUSTARD Mustard is one of our standard vegetables for gieens, and on account of its being easy to grow, should be found in every fall garden where it is liked.

Plant the seed in rows from the last of July to the first of September. Thin the plants until they stand 6 to 10 inches apart in one row. Use the thinnings for greens. Giant Southern is a good variety. ONIONS There are too few winter onions found in our gardens.

They are easily grown, and at least a limited planting should be found in every home garden. Where ordinary spring onion sets can be obtained and set out in drills 3 inches deep in August or first of September, green onions will be available during late fall and winter. As the weather turns old, fill in the trench with soil, gradually mounding tne sou about the base of the onions for a protection Airing the winter. RADISHES There are three classes or rariatles The succession or rains which have been visiting Bryan county of late have brought cotton picking, which was just getting under way, to an almost complete standstill. From some parts of the county reports are coming of considerable damage by boll worms and boll weevils, but the damage is confined to small areas and unless the rains continue for some time to come the damage will not be general.

The crop report for Oklahoma, issued jointly by the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates and the State Board of Agriculture, in regard to cotton The condition of cotton on August was 84 per cent of normal as compared with 85 per cent in July, forecasting a crop of upwards of a million and quarter bales. A continuation of unfavorable weather, however, may cause great damage. In all but the southland southeast where some deterioration is evident the condition has improved or else remained as on July 25.

The south in particular has suffered considerably from weevil and worm, notably in the bottoms. Parts of ten counties in the southeastern part of the State extending as far north and west as Murray County have not had sufficient rainfall to give the fruit its proper development anu reports indicate condition as 20 per rent above normal in one section of county with other reports 20 to per cent below normal in other pails of the same county. Excessive rains have fallen in the southwest without, however entirely undoing the wonderful progress made earlier in the month. The boll-worm has caused considerable loss in many counties and the weevil has been very active in some 20 counties in the eastern half of the State. There is nvl.

Ldence of damage from fungus diseases which may be greatly increased by a continuation of wet, cool and cloudy weather. Fruiting has been good to excellent with the exception of crops in the bottoms in regions of excessive rainfall where too much weed was made. Up to a short time ago there had been but very little shedding and jilanls were loaded with squares and bolls in various stages of development. county Bastile and feeling the call of the wild surging through his eins, Pat Dcnipscy, at least that is the namo on the records, took the popular blanket-rope loute to the groat outdoors, neglecting to inform the county officers of his probable di tination. Owing to his good behavior and his obliging disposition he had been made trusty and had the freedom of tho jail corridor and making a lope of blankets he went down through a ventilator to the third floor of the court house and walked out.

At last accounts there was no clue as to his present whereabouts. The details of his escapade were published at the time of its occurrence and it is stated at the courthouso that he had agreed to enter a plea of guilty and acept ten-year sentence. His escape was kept a profound secret for several days, but, as such things generally will the news leaked out and the details of his escape were made public. The Durant County jail is supposed to be among the most secure in the state, yet this is the second escape within the past few weeks. TRIPLE TEXAS KILLING OVER DIPPING CATTLE While a party of farmers near Bryarly, Red River County, Texas were rounding up cattle last week to take to a dipping vat they were fired upon as they passed near a house and Tom Thompson was killed.

The other members of the party returned the fire and killed two men, Davy and McLain, each about 55 years old. year ended July aist, rjzu, rcacneu the aggregate of which is a flat increase of over the preceding year. The amount refunded to Bryan County for the year ended last July, was $20,237.81, ns compared with the amount refunded a year ago. This remarkable increase is one of the results of the new license low, a product of the present administration, which increased the ta rate on pleasure cars, nnd of the aggressive policy now in effect in the Highway Department of strict enforcement of the law. The Highway Department retains ten per cent of the amount collected which is turned into the general revenue fiund of the State.

The remaining 00 per cent goes back to the county and becomes a part of the street nnd alley fund of incorporated municipalities, and of the road and bridge funds of the counties.
