Crimmins and pullman accounted for the
other two races.
Bullman's victory on Snow in the last
race was his first this year as far as can
be remembered. He does not get many
mounts, and the few he has had have not
tended to restore the confidence that race
goers had in him not so long ago.
Pronta, entered to be sold for $1,000, was
bid up to 5000 after winning the third
race, and protected by his owner with the
customary s. advance.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 12.-It may now be
accepted as a certainty that there is at
least one horse capable of making Sysonby
and Artful extend themselves II their own
ers do not care to have them run against
each other. No horse in years has display
ed the electric speed of which Hermis is
capable, and II the two three-year-olds are
all that their admirers believe they at least
can be accommodated with a frst-class
pacemaker Herms, however, If he re-
mains sound, can probably pick up weight
for age and beat the pair at any distance
up to a mile and furlong or a quarter.
AS far as the Sysonby-Artful special
sweepstakes is concerned, indications are
that their first meeting will occur at Sara
toga. The proposal to bring Artful back
has, it is understood, been vetoed by John
w. Rogers, her trainer, who accompanied
the Whitney string to Saratoga on Monday
morning. Rogers thinks the return journey
and a hard race few days later would be
prejudicial to the fillys best form. The two
have dates in common at the Spa, and a
meeting there would help to increase the
receipts to point where the meeting would
not prove a financial failure Under the
changed conditions it is believed that the
meeting will require several such attrac-
lions IL the present standard is to be main

seasons debut being marked by distinct

Pponents. The little red horse carried 125
pounds, conceding from ten to twenty
pounds on the scale and in actual weight
to all the other starters. The event was at
six furlongs, and Hermis, after beating the
others away from the post, ran the entire
distance under pull TO win by length
from Jocund In 1.13 lis, one and one-fifth
seconds slower than the record made by
Lux Casta in July. 1902. and equaled by
Belle Strome last September.
Hermis ran so willingly and had so much
reserve speed that it was plainly evident
that he felt no trace of the lameness fol-
lowing his marvellous race against Beldame
in the Test handicap year ago. when he
carried 1873 pounds and ran the mile in LBS
fiat over slow track. Nevertheless, all
eyes were upon him as he cantered play

Potato Planting Late.

The potato crop, which is very important,
has been practically a failure. The heavy
rains in February prevented early planting
and consequently made a late harvest, so
that the farmers of Texas, Arkansas and
even Kansas and Missouri got into the early
market ahead of Oklahoma and had the
benefit of the high prices. Usually the po
tato growers of Pottawatomie county, near
the eastern line, adjoining the Seminole Ma
ton, get their potatoes into market ahead
of the southern states, but this year the
harvest is just beginning, and is thirty days
behind time. Last year at this time that
and the adjoining counties had already
shipped 100000 bushels of potatoes to the
city markets-the earliest of the season ex-
cept those from Florida and Bermuda-and
got from 80 to 50 cents bushel for them
on board the cars. This year the total crop
of the territory is not expected to exceed
two and half million bushels. and after
the 1st of July, when potatoes are coming
In from all sources, the price runs down
to 20 and even to Is cents bushel That
will make a difference of a million and
half of dollars to the farmers of Oklahoma,
but they are in shape to stand 1t, and VIII
come up again all right next year. They
have had five good crops in succession pre-
vious to this summer, and have made lots
of money

An Interesting Industry.

The potato industry is quite interesting
where it is conducted on SO large scale
as Ii is here. The land is thoroughly
broken during the winter and the soil well
pulverzed by the rains and frosts.
Nearly all the work is done by
machinery. The seed potatoes are cut
into pieces by machines and ma
chimes put them into the ground at the
rate of about ten bushels to the acre. The
favorite varieties here are the Bliss, Tri-
umph and Early Ohio. The planting ma
chine drops the seed into furrow at
proper intervals and couple of revolving
discs cover 1t with earth and pile up a ridge
three or four inches high. This ridge 10
left for two or three weeks until the tender
sprouts are about to break from the ground,
when a harrow is run across the field to
scalp the ridges, kill the weeds and leave
the bashful young potatoes with moist,
well-pulverized soil around them When
the plants have been above ground for
week or so cultivator is run through the
rows deep into the soil and close to the
roots of the plants This Is repeated three
times during the season.
Planting usually begins about the middle
of February and the potatoes are ripe by
the 1st of June, when diggers, drawn by
two and sometimes by four horses, are
hauled through the fields. Their blades go
deep into the ground and turn the soil over,
so that the potatoes are left exposed on the
ground where they must be picked and
thrown into sacks by hand. Nobody has
yet been able to devise machine to do
that part of the work, but men, women,
girls and boys of all sizes and ages can be
employed. and they are paid cents sack
One man with a digging machine can keep
fifteen pickers busy and a good picker can
make from 50 to So day. Every time
picker brings in sack, holding from one
hundred to one hundred and ten pounds, he
is given brass check good for cents.
A yield of two hundred bushels to the acre
has been the average in Pottawatomie
and other counties, and four hundred BUSH
els to the acre is not unusual This year
they are running only from 100 to It's BUSH
els. Two crops are often raised in one year
on the same soil. AS soon as the first is
harvested the ground Is plowed up and a
second crop is put in the small potatoes
just harvested being used for seed. They
are planted whole instead of being quar-
tered The second crop Is planted. culti-
waited and harvested just the same as the
first. and the digging begins about the mid
die of October.

not greedy, viii not AK their land to do

TUE FIGHT FOR PAVING.

The fight at present is to force
wealthy owners to pave with some
thing besides mud.
They naturally resist from force OF

able and fair-minded people admit the
streets should be paved.
Why the wealthiest property own
ers should resist all progress, when
their property will be most benehted'
no one can understand.
But as we said before, it is from
force of mental habit That habit has
made this the slowest town of its slze
