Guthrie Oklahoma September 9 1918 field agent J E Woodworth amplifies the Bureau of Crop Estimates Sept 1 1918 report on Oklahoma. Cotton outlook worse with 33 percent condition down from 75 a month earlier and 84 in Aug 25 1917. Drought heat and late rains curb growth with top and middle crop shed and fruiting stalled. Corn largely damaged before Aug 1 and rains after provided little relief. Grain sorghums and broom corn deteriorated. some late forage may mature if frost stays off. Forage crops could recover with late rains. alfalfa and winter wheat seeding aided by moisture. hay prospects fair if frost delays. Mixed regional yields expected with best in central eastern and southeastern parts and poorer in the southwest.
