Keenagers tour Ditch Witch in Perry<br />
The Keenagers of First<br />
hristian Church traveled to<br />
erry to visit the Ditch Witch<br />
anufacturing Company on<br />
uly 16.<br />
The group was met by two<br />
our guides who took them on<br />
tour of the factory floor.<br />
After WWII the founder of<br />
he company, Ed Malzahn,<br />
ad an idea.<br />
There was a real need to<br />
rovide a way for outdoor<br />
lumbing to become indoor.<br />
ipes had to be laid from street<br />
o home.<br />
The pick <strong>and</strong> shovel proess<br />
was not effective. Thus,<br />
n a welding shop in Perry the<br />
abrication of a trencher was<br />
ormulated, perfected <strong>and</strong><br />
arketed.<br />
The rest is history. Each<br />
dditional underground<br />
roduct added to the invenory<br />
was then created with<br />
ride, devotion to detail, <strong>and</strong><br />
will to create a product which<br />
ould continually put the<br />
amily ideal <strong>and</strong> work ethic to<br />
he test.<br />
The company is owned 30<br />
ercent by its employees <strong>and</strong><br />
as never been a union shop<br />
ecause each employee can<br />
ount on care <strong>and</strong> keeping<br />
rom the management.<br />
Plus, each worker, from the<br />
owly to the mighty, has a<br />
take in bringing suggestions<br />
o the management which will<br />
ake the job more efficient,<br />
orker friendly <strong>and</strong> perfected<br />
or every product line.<br />
The group observed the<br />
idea boards throughout the<br />
factory where any worker who<br />
had firsth<strong>and</strong> knowledge of<br />
how the product comes together<br />
may provide a new idea<br />
that must be responded to<br />
within 24 hours of posting.<br />
The workers are the company.<br />
Another efficient way of<br />
doing business comes in the<br />
fact that when an order is<br />
placed, the turnaround is<br />
ground up for each product.<br />
There is not a lot of inventory<br />
on the premises because<br />
each machine is made specifically<br />
to order.<br />
The efficiency of such an<br />
operation allows a productive<br />
bottom line in cost effectiveness.<br />
When a product does not<br />
sit on the shelves the cash flow<br />
is effectively distributed to<br />
the needs of each day.<br />
Ditch Witch now has 176<br />
distribution centers, but every<br />
product is made on premises<br />
in Perry.<br />
The community is proud<br />
to call this company a neighbor<br />
<strong>and</strong> a friend.<br />
After the tour the group<br />
journeyed to the Kumback<br />
Cafe on the north side of the<br />
downtown square. The vintage<br />
"EAT" sign welcomes<br />
everyone to a historical eating<br />
adventure.<br />
This restaurant proudly<br />
announces that they are the<br />
oldest continually working<br />
cafe in the state; started on<br />
May 1, 1926.<br />
The group ate h<strong>and</strong> dipped<br />
chicken fried steak as well as<br />
salads, s<strong>and</strong>wiches <strong>and</strong> homemade<br />
pies prepared in a home<br />
cooked way.<br />
All agreed they would visit<br />
the restaurant again the next<br />
time any traveled through<br />
Perry.<br />
The next outing is scheduled<br />
for Tuesday, Aug. 13,<br />
when the group will visit the<br />
Gaylord-Pickens Museum in<br />
Oklahoma City as well as<br />
make a surprise lunch stop.<br />
Call the church office for details<br />
(375-3477). The community<br />
is always invited.<br />

the Army, but he apparently had seen enough war.<br />
Josh attended our Dad’s funeral. We missed seeing him<br />
there. It would have been our last chance to visit him.<br />
We missed seeing the death notice when he died in 2006 or<br />
we would surely have gone to his funeral. His funeral was<br />
held in the First Baptist Church in Altus, which probably had<br />
the only sanctuary in town large enough to hold the crowd.<br />
Josh was a sterling example of a man with a good heart. “A<br />
man after God’s own heart,“ like David in the Bible. Dad was<br />
not the most subtle person in the world but Josh understood<br />
him.<br />
Josh <strong>and</strong> John were fast friends long before the Rev. Dr.<br />
Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.<br />
They judged each other by the quality of their character, not<br />
by the color of their skin.<br />
That’s something many northerners don’t underst<strong>and</strong> about<br />
the South; race is not a dividing line between real friends.<br />
Some today might have called him an Uncle Tom since he<br />
didn’t join in the racial recriminations that have grown so<br />
popular, but they wouldn’t have dared say it to his face. He<br />
was his own man <strong>and</strong> always thought for himself.<br />
He didn’t “play up” to anyone.<br />
If he were here today, it would be interesting to get his<br />
“take” on the Trayvon Martin episode.<br />
Allen West on Trayvon Martin case<br />
One black man, Allen West, former U.S. Congressman<br />
from Florida, posted the following quote from noted black<br />
educator Booker T. Washington, who died in 1915. Obviously<br />
race baiting for profit is nothing new.<br />
Washington, who the NAACP opposed, said:<br />
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of<br />
keeping the troubles, the wrongs, <strong>and</strong> the hardships of the<br />
Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able<br />
to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the<br />
settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they<br />
want sympathy <strong>and</strong> partly because it pays. Some of these<br />
people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because<br />
they do not want to lose their jobs.”<br />
Some postings on Facebook by West, who is also a retired<br />
Army lieutenant colonel:<br />
“Yes, Trayvon Martin shooting was a tragedy which the<br />
usual suspect race baiters <strong>and</strong> progressive media are using for<br />
political gain. Where is the outrage for the recent killings in<br />
Chicago of a 6-month-old black baby, 16-year-old black honor<br />
student, or 17-year-old black teenager who refused to join a<br />
gang? The focus is on the symptoms which promote political<br />
gain, not the disease which now afflicts the black community.<br />
And I am tired of white liberals invoking the heinous memory<br />
of lynchings.<br />
“In a sure case of foot in mouth disease, seems US Attorney<br />
General Eric Holder, speaking in Florida, may want to study<br />
up on St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground use in the Sunshine State, my home.<br />
Based on data maintained by Tampa Bay <strong>Times</strong>, approximately<br />
one-third of Florida St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground claims in fatal<br />
cases have been made by black defendants, as a defense with a<br />
55% success rate. Blacks used St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground defenses at<br />
nearly twice the rate of their percentage of Florida’s population<br />
(16.6 percent in 2012). As well, it seems the majority of victims<br />
in Florida St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground cases have been white. Either<br />
Attorney General Holder is incompetent or ignorant, regardless,<br />
we all await his clarification, or correction, of his comments<br />
before the NAACP in Orl<strong>and</strong>o.”<br />
Bernanke<br />
(Continued From Page 4)<br />
of removing labor <strong>and</strong> product<br />
market rigidities,” he continued.<br />
“The boom masked the<br />
need to reform economies<br />
even as resource allocation<br />
became less <strong>and</strong> less efficient.<br />
And the crisis-motivated macroeconomic<br />
stimulus of the<br />
past few years has exacerbated<br />
these distortions. Hence,<br />
progress in labor <strong>and</strong> product<br />
market reforms has been<br />
slow.”<br />
I don’t know if Ben<br />
Bernanke or Jaime Caruana<br />
speak with each other, but one<br />
might suppose that since there<br />
are probably less than a dozen<br />
central bankers who control<br />
monetary policy worldwide<br />
that perhaps these two mostpowerful<br />
men might have a<br />
working acquaintance with<br />
each other.<br />
Into the mix then stepped<br />
Jean Claude Trichet, former<br />
head of the European Central<br />
Bank, who together with<br />
Bernanke, created the easy<br />
money policies that many central<br />
bank advocates feel saved<br />
the day during the economic<br />
storm of 2008-2009.<br />
And I know that Trichet<br />
<strong>and</strong> Bernanke have more than<br />
a working knowledge of each<br />
other.<br />
“If [central banks] do too<br />
much, then they are only paving<br />
the way for the other partners,<br />
the governments, the<br />
parliament <strong>and</strong> the private<br />
sector, not to do their own job.<br />
It’s clear that the central bank<br />
cannot do everything…. They<br />
have their own responsibility<br />
but what counts now is really<br />
that the structural reforms are<br />
made in all major advanced<br />
economies, certainly Europe,”<br />
Trichet told CNBC while defending<br />
Bernanke.<br />
Imagine that? Asking politicians<br />
to reform their spending<br />
policies?<br />
That’s more than a firing<br />
offense. That’s fighting words.<br />
It’s possible of course that I<br />
am reading too much into this.<br />
It’s possible that it’s all just a<br />
big coincidence. It’s possible<br />
that Obama, the brat, who has<br />
no sensitivities to anyone but<br />
himself, just treated Bernanke<br />
the way he treats all the<br />
menials he is done with.<br />
But it’s far more likely that<br />
central banks finally realize,<br />
like the rest of us have, that<br />
there is no way one can work<br />
with Barack Obama.<br />
Imagine that: Obama’s “the<br />
problem.” Glad they figured<br />
that out.<br />
And in response, the bank<br />
has closed their doors to him.<br />
They should have done that<br />
last year.<br />

Eric Holder’s ‘St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground’ squirrel<br />
By Michelle Malkin<br />
Welcome to the Obama<br />
administration’s cringe-inducing<br />
non sequitur of the<br />
week. On Tuesday, Attorney<br />
General Eric Holder continued<br />
stoking the fires of racial<br />
resentment over a Florida<br />
jury’s acquittal of George<br />
Zimmerman. In an address to<br />
NAACP leaders, who are dem<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
federal intervention,<br />
Holder attacked St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground self-defense laws.<br />
All together now: “Squirrel!”<br />
“Separate <strong>and</strong> apart from<br />
the (Trayvon Martin) case that<br />
has drawn the nation’s attention,<br />
it’s time to question laws<br />
that senselessly exp<strong>and</strong> the<br />
concept of self-defense <strong>and</strong><br />
sow dangerous conflict in our<br />
neighborhoods,” Holder<br />
opined. He then baselessly<br />
claimed that such laws are<br />
creating “more violence than<br />
they prevent” <strong>and</strong> used his<br />
platform to promote citizens’<br />
“duty to retreat.”<br />
So, what exactly do St<strong>and</strong><br />
Your Ground laws have to do<br />
with Zimmerman <strong>and</strong> Martin?<br />
Absolutely nothing, of<br />
course. Outside your own<br />
home, common principles of<br />
self-defense dictate that unless<br />
you have reasonable fear<br />
of deadly force or harm, you<br />
must flee if possible rather<br />
than use deadly force. But a<br />
“duty to retreat” rests on the<br />
ability to retreat. And “duty<br />
to retreat” was irrelevant in<br />
Zimmerman’s case because –<br />
pinned to the ground with<br />
Martin on top of him, bashing<br />
his head on the concrete – he<br />
was unable to retreat.<br />
This didn’t stop the<br />
NAACP crowd from cheering<br />
their heads off when<br />
Holder tossed out his red<br />
By Gary North<br />
Tea Party Economist<br />
Attorney General Eric<br />
Holder stood his ground at a<br />
meeting of the NAACP. He<br />
said that “st<strong>and</strong> your ground”<br />
laws are bad. He thinks black<br />
people, like all other people,<br />
should not carry a gun. They<br />
should not st<strong>and</strong> their ground<br />
when threatened. He said this:<br />
“Separate <strong>and</strong> apart from<br />
the case that has drawn the<br />
nation’s attention, it’s time to<br />
question laws that senselessly<br />
exp<strong>and</strong> the concept of selfdefense<br />
<strong>and</strong> sow dangerous<br />
conflict in our neighborhoods.<br />
(sustained applause) These<br />
laws try to fix something that<br />
was never broken. There has<br />
always been a legal defense<br />
for using deadly force if – <strong>and</strong><br />
the “if” is important – no safe<br />
retreat is available.<br />
“But we must examine laws<br />
that take this further by eliminating<br />
the common sense <strong>and</strong><br />
age-old requirement that<br />
meat. Holder’s racial-grievance-mongering<br />
agenda has<br />
also been bolstered by media<br />
propag<strong>and</strong>a outlets, who’ve<br />
been dutifully bashing St<strong>and</strong><br />
Your Ground regardless of the<br />
facts.<br />
The New York <strong>Times</strong>, for<br />
example, falsely claimed in<br />
an editorial preceding<br />
Holder’s speech that the jury<br />
“reached its verdict after having<br />
been asked to consider<br />
Mr. Zimmerman’s actions in<br />
light of the now-notorious<br />
St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground provision<br />
in Florida’s self-defense law.”<br />
Rolling Stone made a similarly<br />
inflammatory claim, calling<br />
Martin a “victim of<br />
Florida’s St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground<br />
law.”<br />
All nonsense. The jury received<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard instructions.<br />
Zimmerman did not invoke<br />
the St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground provision.<br />
Zimmerman later<br />
waived his right to a pretrial<br />
immunity hearing under the<br />
St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground procedures.<br />
And as National Review’s<br />
Sterling Beard points out,<br />
“The only time St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground came up during the<br />
trial proper was when a prosecution<br />
witness stated that<br />
he’d taught a class<br />
Zimmerman had attended<br />
that covered St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground.”<br />
Even the prosecution rejects<br />
the cynical attempt to tie<br />
Martin’s death to St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground. Prosecutor John Guy<br />
couldn’t have made it clearer<br />
during the trial: “This case is<br />
not about st<strong>and</strong>ing your<br />
ground.” During their posttrial<br />
press conference, as conservative<br />
talk show host<br />
Victoria Taft first noted, a<br />
people who feel threatened<br />
have a duty to retreat, outside<br />
their home, if they can do so<br />
safely. By allowing <strong>and</strong> perhaps<br />
encouraging violent situations<br />
to escalate in public,<br />
such laws undermine public<br />
safety. The list of resulting<br />
tragedies is long <strong>and</strong> – unfortunately<br />
– has victimized too<br />
many who are innocent. It is<br />
our collective obligation – we<br />
must st<strong>and</strong> our ground – (applause)<br />
to ensure that our laws<br />
reduce violence, <strong>and</strong> take a<br />
hard look at laws that contribute<br />
to more violence than they<br />
prevent.”<br />
The liberals at the NAACP<br />
agree. They clapped.<br />
The main victims of violence<br />
from gangs <strong>and</strong> thugs in<br />
the United States are residents<br />
of the inner cities. Here, police<br />
protection is minimal. Here,<br />
people either st<strong>and</strong> their<br />
ground or get run over by<br />
thugs.<br />
But such talk, in Holder’s<br />
view, rejects common sense.<br />
Miami Herald reporter asked<br />
the prosecution team specifically<br />
whether St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground “affected the facts in<br />
this case <strong>and</strong> whether this case<br />
could have been won, perhaps,<br />
pre the changes in the<br />
law.”<br />
Prosecutor Bernie De La<br />
Rionda replied: “You know,<br />
self-defense has existed for a<br />
long time. And we’ve dealt<br />
with it in Jackson for a long<br />
time. We’ve tried a lot of selfdefense<br />
cases; I’ve personally<br />
tried 10-15 self-defense cases.<br />
They’re tough cases, but we<br />
accept it so ... the law really<br />
hasn’t changed all that much.<br />
St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground was a big<br />
thing, but really the law hasn’t<br />
changed. We have a right to<br />
bear arms <strong>and</strong> a right to self<br />
defense.”<br />
In short, St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground did not kill Trayvon<br />
Martin. St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground<br />
did not sway the jury. St<strong>and</strong><br />
Your Ground saboteurs don’t<br />
have a leg to st<strong>and</strong> on. Columnist<br />
Jacob Sullum observed<br />
drily:<br />
“You might think that,<br />
given all we now know about<br />
Zimmerman’s actual defense,<br />
critics of ‘st<strong>and</strong> your ground’<br />
laws would have to find a<br />
different, more apposite case<br />
to illustrate their concerns.<br />
Instead they just barrel along,<br />
citing the same phony example<br />
again <strong>and</strong> again, without<br />
regard to the facts. It does<br />
not inspire confidence in their<br />
argument.”<br />
Nope, it inspires exasperation<br />
<strong>and</strong> contempt. Once<br />
again, Eric Holder’s Department<br />
of Selective <strong>and</strong> Social<br />
Justice is grasping for straws.<br />
Holder now vows to “continue<br />
to fight for removal of<br />
St<strong>and</strong> Your Ground laws”<br />
that had nothing to do with<br />
the Zimmerman trial. He<br />
promises to ban “racial profiling”<br />
in the aftermath of a<br />
local crime incident that —<br />
according to Holder’s own<br />
FBI employees — had nothing<br />
to do with race.<br />
This is all a transparent<br />
pretext, of course, for undermining<br />
a plethora of state laws<br />
Amendment legislatures.<br />
(Never mind that eight of 15<br />
states that adopted St<strong>and</strong><br />
Your Ground legislation were<br />
helmed by Democratic governors<br />
at the time of passage.)<br />
Even more insidiously, leftwing<br />
groups have exploited<br />
the Martin case to launch<br />
broader attacks on the political<br />
speech <strong>and</strong> activities of<br />
limited-government groups<br />
like the American Legislative<br />
Exchange Council, which<br />
administration’s cynical campaign<br />
against St<strong>and</strong> Your<br />
Ground laws is a racially<br />
charged weapon of mass distraction.<br />
The goal isn’t public<br />
safety or community harmony.<br />
The goal is for conservative<br />
political opponents to<br />
Surrender Your Ground. Silence,<br />
as always, is complicity.<br />
Political self-defense, as<br />
with physical self-defense,<br />

Holder Says: ‘Don’t st<strong>and</strong> your ground; run’<br />
China subsidizes more U.S. debt<br />
By Gary North<br />
The U.S. government is running<br />
about a $650 billion deficit<br />
this fiscal year. The People’s Bank<br />
of China is doing its part to help<br />
out. It just bought another $25<br />
billion of this deficit last month.<br />
Why is it doing this? To hold<br />
up the value of the dollar.<br />
Why is it holding up the value<br />
of the dollar? To make it less expensive<br />
for Americans to buy<br />
goods made in China.<br />
But then protectionists in Congress<br />
scream bloody murder, because<br />
China is subsidizing exports<br />
to Americans. Then they vote for<br />
federal spending that runs a huge<br />
deficit. So, in order to hold down<br />
government interest rates, the<br />
Treasury Department must find<br />
buyers of this debt, other than the<br />
Federal Reserve System. The Chinese<br />
central bank is a large buyer.<br />
So, every time Senator Chuck<br />
Schumer of New York insists that<br />
China must be stopped from rigging<br />
its currency, he is really saying<br />
that the Chinese central bank<br />
should stop buying IOUs issued<br />
by Congress. Then he votes for<br />
another spending program.<br />

There is no need for laws protecting<br />
victims of thugs <strong>and</strong><br />
criminals when the victims<br />
defend themselves. The public<br />
should wait patiently for<br />
the police to intervene. Meanwhile,<br />
if they are upset with<br />
thugs, they can always run.<br />
Problem: when you are facing<br />
an armed teenager, you<br />
probably can’t outrun him. Or<br />
maybe your wife can’t.<br />
If you don’t want to carry a<br />
gun, maybe your wife will.<br />
Maybe she will st<strong>and</strong> her<br />
ground. You, of course, can<br />
do it Holder’s way. You can<br />
run.<br />
The victims of this world<br />
need to know that they are not<br />
facing government prosecu-<br />
tion if they st<strong>and</strong> their ground<br />
successfully. That’s what<br />
“st<strong>and</strong> your ground” laws do.<br />
They send a signal. “If a thug<br />
threatens you, <strong>and</strong> you persuade<br />
him to cease <strong>and</strong> desist<br />
— permanently — you will<br />
not go to jail. Probably. Maybe.<br />
Possibly. If you can afford a<br />
team of lawyers.”<br />
Holder wants even this<br />
minimal declaration removed<br />
from the statute books.<br />
Eric “Fast <strong>and</strong> Furious”<br />
Holder seeks to subsidize a<br />
growing franchise: “Thugs R<br />
Us.”<br />

Because of the added attractions,<br />
there is concern<br />
about traffic. Reversing the<br />
flow of traffic so that it enters<br />
from Bowman Street is being<br />
considered. This will help take<br />
backed up traffic off of Highway<br />
33.<br />
The past several years,<br />
<strong>Kingfisher</strong> in Lights has been<br />
on the move to replace all of<br />
the inc<strong>and</strong>escent lights with<br />
LED lights. This year, every<br />
tree will have LED lights at a<br />
cost of $900 per tree.<br />
“We changed the swinging<br />
bridge to LED lights five<br />
years ago <strong>and</strong> haven’t had to<br />
change a light on it since,”<br />
Osborn said. “We plan to<br />
change the c<strong>and</strong>y canes to<br />
LED’s next which will come<br />
with a total cost of approximately<br />
$12,000.<br />
Nick Martin welcomed<br />
Osborn to Lions.<br />

Chase<br />
[Continued From Page 1]<br />
car disabled in the chase inadvertently<br />
picked up Weimer’s<br />
OHP car while Weimer was busy<br />
at one of the stolen vehicle scenes,<br />
taking it all the way to the Crescent<br />
police station before the<br />
mistake was pointed out.<br />
Possibly forgetting exactly<br />
where the OHP car had been<br />
picked up, the wrecker returned<br />
it instead to the Six Mile Bar,<br />
Banther said.<br />
Meanwhile, another tow<br />
truck became mired in a soupy<br />
field while trying to retrieve a<br />
sheriff’s office SUV that was<br />
stuck.<br />
Bill Williams, a neighboring<br />
resident, came in with a small<br />
tractor to free the tow truck, but<br />
the tractor also got stuck, Banther<br />
said.<br />
“Fortunately for us, he didn’t<br />
give up,” Banther said. “He<br />
walked back out <strong>and</strong> had his<br />
wife meet him with a larger, fourwheel-drive<br />
tractor <strong>and</strong> he used<br />
that to pull all three vehicles out.<br />
“After all that, I would like to<br />
say we got the guy, but Crescent<br />
at least has him on video at their<br />
conveniences store <strong>and</strong> they’ve<br />
got a positive ID,” he said. “It’s<br />
just a matter of time before they<br />
find him.”<br />

Banther said. “Deputy Barry<br />
Reilly was already at Big 4<br />
when we got the intrusion<br />
alarm report, but the suspects<br />
had already fled by the time<br />
he arrived.”<br />
Reilly found the suspects<br />
had kicked in a double-bolted<br />
back door. The ring was the<br />
only item the homeowners<br />
reported missing.<br />
Two more break-ins were<br />
reported in the Cashion area,<br />
one at the intersection of<br />
Euclid <strong>and</strong> Comanche <strong>and</strong><br />
one at Reeding Road <strong>and</strong><br />
Charter Oak, Banther said.<br />
The sheriff’s office put out<br />
a statewide “be on the lookout”<br />
alert for the couple <strong>and</strong><br />
the van <strong>and</strong> authorities from<br />
Logan County, Cashion, Piedmont<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Oklahoma<br />
Highway Patrol are searching,<br />

HERE COMES THE SUN — After days of unusual midsummer rain <strong>and</strong> cooler<br />
temperatures, the blazing July sun came back with a vengeance last week <strong>and</strong> wasted no<br />
time in sapping moisture from area plants <strong>and</strong> crops. [TIMES-FREE PRESS Staff Photo]<br />

crops <strong>and</strong> pastures, Boevers<br />
said the rain was helpful in<br />
sprouting volunteer grain<br />
in wheat <strong>and</strong> rye fields <strong>and</strong><br />
weeds.<br />
“This will help producers<br />
clean up fields in preparation<br />
for next year,” he observed.<br />
While points farther west<br />
in the state finally received<br />
some rain last week, it<br />
wasn’t enough to lift the<br />
drought conditions there.<br />
The United States Department<br />
of Agriculture’s<br />
crop survey for the week<br />
reported daytime temperatures<br />
as high as 107 degrees<br />
before the storm front came<br />
through.<br />
The storms had an unusual<br />
trajectory, east to<br />
west, <strong>and</strong> cooled temperatures<br />
drastically.<br />
Rainfall totals were highest<br />
in the central third of<br />
the state with the highest<br />
official measurement at the<br />
Ketchum Ranch in Stephens<br />
County.<br />
Temperatures for the<br />
week averaged in the mid-<br />
80s.<br />

increase in the portion of<br />
the state experiencing<br />

at 51 percent, was in a severe<br />
to exceptional drought,<br />
compared to 42 percent the<br />
week before.<br />

behind normal<br />
precipitation totals for the<br />

adequate <strong>and</strong> 64 percent<br />
short to very short.<br />

five-year average.<br />

98 percent complete by Sunday.<br />
Cotton squaring was 23<br />
percent complete by the end<br />

the five-year average,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a small portion was setting<br />
bolls.<br />
Virtually all watermelons<br />
were setting fruit by<br />
week’s end. Six percent of<br />
the crop was harvested, 18<br />
points behind the five-year<br />
average.<br />
Hay: Conditions of alfalfa<br />
<strong>and</strong> other hay were<br />
rated mostly good to fair.<br />
