Ponca City. Okla. July 30.—Back
in the days of ’49. Eileen DeNoya’s
great-grandfather stru« out f<>» Cali-
fornia in search of gold.
But Eileen prettiest and most popu-
lar maiden in the Osage Indian tribe
content with life among her' people
never strayed far from her native dis-
trict.
Yet plenty of gold Ims come her
way.
And it was discovered right on her
allotment on the government reser-
vation near here.
It ovas not the shiny glittering
yellow gobi her grandfather sought.
It was black. But it was just as
profitable.
cultural situation however is the fact
that the prospects for all other crops
arc almost equally satisfactory.” the
report points out in the way of rea-
sons for expecting better conditions.
Business in wholesale and retai 1
channels were affected by the sea
sonal slncaming in demand but re
fleeted a spirit of confidence. Jvbbets
nnd wholesalers are waging aggressive
advertising campaigns.
The report continues:
“On the whole the district's crop
outlook seems to justify the belief
that the year 1023 will be aa unusual-
ly successful one for the farmers.
"The only serious complaint thnt
is being ninde is thnt corn has suf-
fered from the scorching heat of the
past three weeks and needs rnin tc
insure the proper filling out of the
ears in the final stages of maturity ”
The (Top is sufficiently advanced
to cause an expected fair yield.

felt on the live stock ranges in West

and water but elsewhere was reported
