ARDMOREF, Okls., November 18.— | The peean erop will run about. 40 per | cent of normal in Oklahoma this sea- | son, according to preliminary estimates made by the State Pecan Growers' As- sociation. The pecan crop is lightest vicinity, while it Is excep- ! tonally heavy in the eastern part of ! the State, with a production of between | Heavy downpour of rain about the | time wholesale trading usually is heav- | fest, this morning, prevented retailers from appearing in the wholesale market | district in their usual numbers. The | result was that the usual slow trading the first market day of the week was ! made much slower. Retaflers were not out in number: large enough to interest wholesalers. The latter had heavy supplies of com- | modities, however, to offer at prices | they termed cheap or reasonable. Many of the dealers had stock carried over | from-the close of last week's market Trading in practically every line of business was reported slow, but dealers seldom expect brisk business on Mon- cays. Along the commission house lne | there were the usual attractive dis- | plays of fruits and vegetables, trce- ripened oranges being the latest addi- tion to the frut supply. Vegetables Plentiful. “These oranges.” commented & deal- er, “possess more julce and are sweeter than those ripened off the tree. and | there is not a great difference in the price.” Plentiful supplies of vegetables also were in evidence, both in the commis- sion house district and one the farmers' line, prices of nearby products con- ! tinuing cheap Kale, spinach, watercress and turnip sslad were offered at prices ranging | from 75 cents to $1. Cabbage also| were very plentiful, selling as low as | 60 cents for bushel baskets A continued firm condition of the butter and egg mark as reported, butter prices having increased a frac- tion of A cent a pound. Egg prices continued unchanged and a slight ea: ing of prices of certain meats was men- tioned by dealers. Poultry dealers continue to receive in- | quiries as to the probable price of turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday season. They are unable to give any information further than to forecast cheap prices.

(®).—A aqueer little ratlike animal cost the farmers of | Arizona thousands of dollars annually until the United States Biological Sur- | vey stepped in. Now the survey workers, of which there are a dozen or more with head- | quarters at Phoentx, have built up a trophy pile of nearly 100,000 enemies ' talls, evidence of animals trapped in the campaign, Perhaps twice that number have been poisoned. | The animal is commonly known as a pocket gopher because of his jaw pock- ' ets. In these he places the dirt he digs and carries it to the surface to get it out of his way. He lives underground | and comes to the surface only to throw | | up mounds of dirt removed from his' CHICAGO.—Thus far the 2-cent re- duction in gasoline prices made 1n the Chicago territory has not extended The tone to the market. however, is easier and reduc- tions would not be surprising.

GERMANS LEAD AVIATORS. BERLIN (#).—Germany leads the world in aviation with 33 of 86 world flying records, according to the latest official returns of the International Aeronautical Federation. Of those records, 35 are for regular planes, 37 for seaplanes and 14 for baby planes. Germany holds 11, 20 and 2 in these ~successive categories. France comes second with 21 records and the third with 17—3 for planes, 13 for seaplanes and 1 for baby planes. Radio Hy;lrometers Used.

He is fond of cutting off the | roots of roscbushes, ornamental shrubs, | the i | palm trees and damaging fruit- benrlnp crops.
