TO WEAR GROWN
EngIand's King Has Recovered
Day Of Coronation is Set
EVENT TO OCCUR THE 9TH OF AUGUST

King Edward is Improving Rapidly
Rumors to the Contrary are Unfound-
eds Able to be Upon His Feet-Re-
strictions as to Diet Almost Removed
LONDON: The latest and most reliable
information indicates that King Ed
wards doctors were not mistaken in fix
ing August . as the date upon which
his majesty could be crowned. The
sinister rumors which have prevaded all
classes for the last few days now APP
pear to have lost that scmblance of
probability whiSh made even the mem
bers of the cabinet nervous lest an
other postponment of the coronation
might be necessitated.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet, and with the aid of a stick,
has done little walking Another
late telegram from Cowes, saying that
nearly all the restrictions upon the
kings diet have been withdrawn has
been welcomed as evidence that the re-
cent omnibus deductions were drawn
without due allowance for the doctors
extreme cautiousness. While the king
was testing his ability to walk two
stalwart jackics stood at his side. AZ
ter this experiment, which boded well
for his fulfilling the necessary corona
ton functions at Westminster Abbey,
King Edward sat smoking on the deck
of the royal yacht and watched the
races of the small yachts off Cowes.
According to the present arrange
ments King Edward and Queen Alex
andra will leave Cowes either August
60 + August for buckingham palace,
and will return to the royal yacht Au-
gust lS, when the entire fleet will pass
before King Edward and salute him.
After his return to the yacht the king
is expected to take an extended cruise
northward and subsequently spend
some weeks at Balmoral, where prep
aratlons for the arrival of their majes-
ties have already been commenced.

Accordingly, weeds are seldom a nuis-
ance. The first crop is planted between
February 10 and March /, and is ready
for market about June 6. This crop
should be delivered in fifteen days, but
negligent farmers in Pottawatomie
county are still digging their first crop.
The second crop is planted between
July | and August /, and is not har-
vested until after frost, late i'll Septem-
ber or early in October. The first crop
is for immediate consumption, as the
potatoes will rot if stored The second
crop may be kept like northern potatoes
Early potatoes here invariably yield
bountifully, the average this year being
ninety bushels to the acre. This in
cluded the fields of the incompetent as
well as the successful farmers. Pota-
toes can withstand great deal of dry
weather The fall crop yields almost
rs bountifully as the spring crop if the
season is favorable. Three good rains
evenly distributed, especially n good
rain in September, will mature the fail
crop. The plants here have never been
attacked by bugs or other injurious
pests.
The cost of this seasons's first crop
delivered on board cars was twenty five
cents n bushels Had growers raised
their own seed potatoes, the cost would
have been only thirteen cents bushel
Seed potatoes, shipped in from the Da-
kotas, cost $l.35 bushel, however,
It,,n L Of 4,
Sl2 an acre for seed. Seed potatoes
cost only ninety cents bushel last
year, which reduced the expense of pro
duction to twenty-one and Il half cents
IA bushcl. BY accurate account, grow
ers in the local association cleared $4l
an acre ON their first crop last year,
Tho yield exceeded 100 bushels an acre,
and the average price received vas
sixty three cents. The fall crop was
comparatively a failure, the average
being less than thirty bushels, because
of drought, but high prices, 81 bushel,
made even this crop more remunerativo
than any grain crop. The cost of the
fall crop is small, not more than ten
cents bushel, as the culls of the June
crop are used for seed, and the potatoes
may be harvested at leisure, as there is
little danger Of their deoaying. The
first crop must be put on the market
without delay, and quicker handling
entails greater expense
Ewers White was asked TO describe
in detail What could be done with one
acre of good land planted to potatoes
He said: Heretofore, owing to the in,
creased acreage each year, our fall croT
has never been equal to the demand fol
seed, so we will figure that seed for the
spring crop is bought at 81 a bushel
The seed for an acre will cost IS, plow

the early crop. and the profits will be as
proportionatcly as great,
"Remembcr, he continued, with
emphasis, "that only three or four
years ago the belief was general among
farmers that potatoes We're failure in
Oklahoma. Under the old system of
ono crop, the potatoes were not dug un-
til fall, and during the long, dry hot
summer they withered in the ground,
which become soggy when cooked and
to rot quickly when exposed to the air
The two-crop system not only cured
these defects from market standpoint,
but doubled the output"
The potato growers of Pottawatomie
county are growing rich faster than
any class of agriculturists i'll Oklahoma.
Four years ago scarcely enough pota-
toes were grown here to supply the
local market. The success of few
growers attracted so much attention
that farmer after farmer engaged in the
growing of potatoes. 5. ID. Heal, living
five miles east of here is the pioneer
grower of the country adjacent TO
Shawnee. He engaged III the business
four years ago, as did n farmer named
Fletcher, near Dale. Fletcher had
raised two-crop potatoes i'll the Fort
Smith fields in Arkansas. The potato
industry, however, was of no consider
able Importance until this season. Next
year will find the acreage greatly in
creased Scores of experienced potato
growers are coming here from the Kaw
valley attracted by the suitableness of
the soil and the most important fact
that two crops, instead Of only one, as
there, can be grown in single season.
These men will do much toward de-
veloping the industry, as they have
been engaged in it for years and THEN
knowledge will bo of value to local
farmers who, heretofore, have confined
themselves mostly to raising corn,
wheat and cotton.

OKLAHOMA'S CASTOR BEANS
The Territory Ranks First in Production
-MissOuri Second

The Territory Ranks First in Production
Missouri Second
WASHINGTON: Oklahoma leads the
country in the production of castor
beans in 1899, according to census
bulletin just issued. Missouri Is in
second place. The region extending
from southern Illinois across Missouri
in eastern Kansas and including certain
counties in Oklahoma produces nearly
the whole castor bean crop of the United
States. Only few counties devote
much attention to its cultivation. The
annual yield is 100000 to 100, 900 bush
els and this product is consumed almost
entirely by few crushers in St. Louis.
Many producers regard castor beans as
a more profitable crop than grain,
especially when the price reaches Sf25
a bushel, which it occasionally does.
The usual value is about 81 90 bushel.
There is considerable importation Of
castor beans and of the oil. The pro-
duct of the United States does not
meet the demands of the trade. Before
1894 there was duty of so cents
bushel on the beans and 80 cents a GAL
lon on the oil. In that year the rates
were reduced to 25 and 35 cents respect
lively and beans can be landed at the
crushers in this country from Bombay
at very nearly the same figure for
which the domestic bean can be pur-
chased
Nevertheless, farmers are favorably
inclined to this crop as an adjunct to
other crops and there is a disposition to
enlarge the acreage. The crop of 1899
was fair one, prices paid to the grow
ers being little higher than the year
before, but not satisfactory. The price
ranged from S5 cents to l05 bushel
Ten years before the ruling rate had
been 81. so to $l.75 for prime beans
The rate Of yield in 1899 was only four
to eight bushels an acre, owing to
weather conditions, leaving little profit
for the farmer. The acreage, produc-
ton and value of castor beans in 1899
by states and territories was as follows:

The Striking Miners Causing Trouble
Governor stone Appealed to
SHENANDOAH, PA: A mob of strikers
are causing no end of trouble here. A
large force under the sheriff have been
unable to quell the disturbance and the
governor has been called upon TO furn-
ish militia company to restore order
Shots and clubs have been freely used
and number of deaths will result as a
cause of the disturbance. The riot
started when the sheriff undertook to
escort two non-union men through the
picket line of coal strikers 1t was the
intention to send the men into the mine
to work. The men were badly used at
the hands of the strikers. The sheriff
was unable to potect them. Two police
men were badly beaten. The mob
consists of fully 5000 striking miners
and their sympathizers who resort the
use of clubs, guns, stones or anything
they can lay their hands to and 1t is i'm
possible for the small band of police to
subdue them.

Employees of Hoe a. Co., Turn Hose on
Funeral Procession
NEW YORK: The funeral of the late
Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head of the
orthodox Hebrews of the United States
was the occasion of the most remark
able demonstration ever witnessed in
this city and led to collision between
the masses of Jew mourners and tho
police.
After services at the house the body
of the late rabbi was taken to each OF
the synagogues on the east side where
short services were held When the
large procession was passing the plant
of Hoe q Co., a large manufactory OF
printing materials, employees cmptied
pals of water from upper windows down
upon the mourners on the sidewalk be-
low. A number of pals We're thrown
down, then old overalls soaked in water,
pieces of scrap iron and the like We're
hurled at the throng. The Hebrews re-
taliated by throwing missels back at
the windows. Stones and sticks were
exchanged and all the windows on one
side of the building We're broken. The
employees finally turned the hose into
the crowd and had five streams going
at one time
The police were summoned and it
was fully an hour before order could be
restored and the procession allowed to
move on. The disturbance created
quite a sensation and large crowd had
gathered to watch the battle. No ia.
talties were reported but q number of
the Jews We're badly cut by the missels.
At a number of places along the line of
the procession sticks, stones or chunks
of wood We're thrown into the crowd of
mourners. A crowd of fully 10000
followed the procession to the grave.
A number of arrests were made.

Pottawatomie county produces more
potatoes than any other county in the
United States, according to Shawnee
correspondent in tho Kansas City Star.
This statement is backed by Ewers
White, president Of the local associa-
tion of potato growers, who gave stats
tics of the crop just sent TO market to
prove his assertion. "The twelve or
fourteen counties in the potato district
of Texas sent about 900 carloads to
market this spring" said Mr.. White.
"lncluding the town of Choctaw City,
in Oklahoma county, the spring yield
will aggregate 800 carloads. The out
put Mt Choctaw City will be about 60
cars. A letter just received by me from
the Choctaw railroad company shows
that for the period ending Jlly 9th,
Shawnee had shipped 155 carloads, Te-
cumsch, 16; Earlboro, Ct, while mp TO
June % the shipments nt Harrah had
been 41 cars, McIIoud, 3S and Dale, no.
making total of 130 carloads. Suhse-
quent shipments will increase that
number to 800 carloads. There was an
average of 4i0 bushels in a car, mqlting
n total of not less than 100000 bushels,
for which the growers were paid close
to $l50,000 nearly half of which was
clear profit The second crop is now
planting and the outlook is unusually
favorable for II big yield. These late
potatoes will sell for twice as much as

land. Their second crop Is still to be
heard from. One farmer with two
crops year ON 100 acres, is clearing an
nually $1,000. S. d. Heal realized n
profit of 81, 600 on his crop last year. II
should not be forgotten, however, that
there are growers who have not enjoyed
such good fortune. Incapacity and in
experience are handicaps in the potato
business, as in other pursuits, and the
farmer who neglected to cultivate his
potatoes properly and at the right time
paid the penalty by getting low yields.
In spite of their mistakes, few, if any,
failed TO make as much money as they
would have made with other crops.
Land values here have doubled in
eighteen months, so great has been the
demand for potato farms. In the spring
of 1901 ferns in the North Canadian
valley, ten and twelve miles from Shaw
nee, were offered at SO an acre and as
high as S62. 80 has been paid. The up
land farms here are as productive as
the average potato farms in the Texas
field. Potato land here rents at from
"a to So an acre cash, and for fourth
to third of the crop when paid in
potatoes delivered for shipment.
Potato growing is ideal farming.
The crop is easily cultivated, easily har-
vested, and weeds are not encountered
in Oklahoma until the first crop has
been "laid by and is ready for digging.
