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 />

barn set to music.<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 />

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 />

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 />

The U.S. Drought Monitor<br />

for July 9th showed an<br />

increase in the portion of<br />

the state experiencing<br />

drought conditions.<br />

Just over half of the state,<br />

at 51 percent, was in a severe<br />

to exceptional drought,<br />

compared to 42 percent the<br />

week before.<br />

Western Oklahoma is<br />

still the hardest hit by the<br />

drought <strong>and</strong> remains significantly<br />

behind normal<br />

precipitation totals for the<br />

period since March 1.<br />

A later than normal harvest<br />

was almost complete<br />

by the end of the week,<br />

while most row crops were<br />

behind normal progress.<br />

rated adequate increased<br />

to include 42 percent<br />

of the state.<br />

adequate <strong>and</strong> 64 percent<br />

short to very short.<br />

There were 6.5 days suitable<br />

for fieldwork.<br />

by Sunday.<br />

crop development stages<br />

were behind normal<br />

progress as of Sunday.<br />

Corn silking was 42 percent<br />

had reached the dough<br />

state, 22 points below the<br />

five-year average.<br />

94 percent compete by Sunday.<br />

Thirteen percent of sorghum<br />

was heading by the<br />

end of the week, seven<br />

points behind normal.<br />

virtually complete, <strong>and</strong> 89<br />

percent had emerged by the<br />

end of the week.<br />

Peanuts pegging was 60<br />

percent complete by Sunday.<br />

Cotton emerged was<br />

98 percent complete by Sunday.<br />

Cotton squaring was 23<br />

percent complete by the end<br />

of the week, 30 points behind<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 />

Hay harvesting continued<br />

to progress as most of<br />

the week was hot <strong>and</strong> dry.<br />

A second cutting of alfalfa<br />

hay was 88 percent<br />

complete by the end of the<br />

week, <strong>and</strong> a third cutting<br />

was 16 percent complete by<br />

Sunday, 31 points behind<br />

normal.<br />

<strong>and</strong> a second cutting<br />

was 11 percent complete by<br />

Sunday.<br />
