ADDITIONAL CITY ENG
CAN'T SUPPLY DEMAND
Big Call for Garden Plants This
Spring

! The growers of garden plants in this
| city can't supply the demand for the
various plants Of their raising. This is
| the time of the year when the farmers
and truck gardeners shake themselves
| together and begin to scratch the sur
| face of the ground in preparation for the
yearly crop of cabbage, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes ana other garden truck includ-
ing pepper, egg plant and celery. All
of these are grown from the plants and
the modus operandi is very interesting
The plants are grown from the seed in
hot house beds and when the young and
tender slips are about an inch or two
high and have grown a good root they
are taken from the hot house by the
grower and transplanted into cold frames
out doors, covered by muslin cloth that
they may become hardened. After ten
days TO two weeks in the cold Trainer,
the plants are again transplanted into
the fiat boxes in which they are offered
for sale. The average length of time
from the planting Of the seed until the
plant is ready for market is about sixty
days and it takes from seventy to eighty
days more after it is set out into the
fields for it to come into bearing and pro-
duce ripe fruit. Sweet potaUoe plants
are grown a --~-.e different from the
other plants. The potatoes are planted
in a hot bed and allowed TO stay in the
same bed until reaoy to market. They
make in about forty-five to sixty days
and are then pulled and tied up into
punches containing a hundred plants
Sweet potatoe plants usually sell for
from fifteen to twenty-five cents a hun
dred- The other plants sell for five and
ten cents a dozen and the new varieties
are always little NOR expensive. There
are millions OF SWEET potato plants grown
in this vicinity as It takes about four
thousand plant TO the acre and fire.
quently some farmer puts from twenty
10 thirty acres in sweet potatoes. If
the weather keeps goou by the 6th Of
May, there Will have been grown this
spring in this city nearly 800. 900 cabbage
and tomato plants that altogether with
the oncoming crop Of sweet potato
plants. win bring a return Of from five
to seven thousand dollars to the grow
ers. This is a pretty good bunch of
money but It IS distributed among FIVE
or six growers and perhaps some few
smaller ones and the work is hard and
must be handled by experienced men.
As has been said. Wichita growers do
a big business in the plant line and sup
ply plants to all the territory adjacent
TO the city and as far north and east
as Eureka and severy and out west as
far as Dodge City and Garden City. The
plants are sold by the large growers to
the seed houses and by them to the
consumer. Yesterday Mr.. Bert Nc
Causlin Of the Ross Bros Seed company
said that they just could not get enough
plants 10 supply the demand which 1
seemed 10 be extraordinary great this

SENSATION
CAUSED BY
SEPARATION
Wife of Capt. Barnes Refused
to See Husband.
AFTER LONG SERVICE
In the United States Army in
the Philippines.
AFTER LONG SERVICE

Guthrie, o. T.. May "A sensation
was sprung in this city today when it
became positively known that Captain
Harry C. Barnes, son Of Gov. Barnes
and his wife had separated for good. The
young people were married in California
seven years ago. where the lady was VS.
fling friends and the wedding was class
ed among those romantic examinations
that triumph over all obstacles. The
bride was the step-daughter Of Horace
Speed, now United States attorney for
Oklahoma and has since her marriage
been social favorite.
The cause of the separation is a nlys-
terry. When the captain came home from
the Philippines where he had served
with distinction, his wife refused to see
him. ana Notwithstanding the efforts of
friends to effect reconciliation, the
couple seem to be parted for good. One
son is the fruit of the marriage, a boy
four years OF age.

COTTON IN OKLAHOMA
Culture of the Southern Product Is a
Big Thing.

Guthrie, o. T., May 2.-From all indi-
cations the growing of cotton is soon to
be one of the leading industries Of the
territory Of Oklahoma Conservative es-
Inmates place the acreage that viii be do
mated TO cotton as being nearly double
that Of last year. This VIII mean, under
favorable conditions the largest crop Of
cotton that Oklahoma has known and will
fully demonstrate that this country is up
to the south when it comes to the cotton
raising industry
BY the end ofthe present week nearly
all Of the cotton VIII be planted Some
Of the early seeding is up and is making
a vigorous growth in spite of the fact
that the spring has been very back
ward IN Oklahoma. Tt would be hard to
estimate the average acreage Of cotton
this year. Last year the experiment
station at Saltwater determined that out
