OVER THIRTY MILLION TREES
HAVE BEEN PLANTED BY THE
FARMERS OF OKLAHOMA
THIRTY THOUSAND ON A FARM
EIbertas bring Fine rices-Shipped to
Royality-Are Good Enough for
Kings.

Guthrie, Okla, May 9. Some
thing over 10000, 900 fruit trees
have been planted blythe orchardists
and farmers of Oklahoma The
people themselves do not yet realize
how many they have planted. As
COR afatively few of the trees bore
uni the past few years every man
had kept on planting, and as the
fruit trees that were bearing were
young and produced the minimum
amount Of fruit the planting was
still kept up aud is still being kept
up AS two-thirds Of these trees
are now bearing the crop this sea-
son will be something enormous.
In the towns every residence lot
has from six to two dozen fruit
trees upon it, some of the towns
being veritable orchards.
During the past two years many
large shipments of Oklahoma fruit
were made 10 northen markets, the
Oklahoma Elberta peaches netting
a dollar per bushel in any city in
the United States. The most inn
portant shipment, made principally
for advertising purposes, was car
Of peaches two year ago to London,
England. A crate each was includ-
ed for King Edward and Joseph
Chcatc, the American ambassador.
Many farmers have put from
forty to sixty acres out to fruit
Again there are farmers who have
planted their entire homesteads Of
100 acres to fruit trees and have
bought out their neighbors in order
to plant more trees. Two such
men are Frank Householder of
Guthrie ard J. A. Taylor, of
Wynnewood. The latter has a
farm Of 80, 900 El5erta peach trees,
the majority Of which will bear
this year for the FIRST time.
The farm home of Frank House
holder, just west of Guthrie, con.
tains 200 acres, Of which ITO
acres are In orchard. He has III,
900. peach trees which will bear
this year, which means estimated
receipts from peaches alone Of $r2,
900 toSr5, 1000, at a total cost Of
gathering, packing and shipping Of
$4,000. These 1000 trees are
thickly covered now with little
peaches.
Householder never cultivates
his pear trees, of which he has
seven hundred. While the rows of
peaches, apple and the cherry trees
are free from weed and carefully
tended, the pear orchard has the
appearance of young wilderness.
Householder explains that in Okla
homa cultivated pears trees are
susceptible to the disease known as
fre-blight. As result ofno cul-
tivation his pear trees are healthy
in appearance and are yielding
we'll.
It is Householder S belief that no
orchard can be grown successfully
with out spraying. He has his
pump and barrels, and with these
he travels here and there over the
farm, spraying the various trees.
He sprays all the trees once before
they leaf in spring, in order to
head off early pests, and again just

THE PEOPLE MAY DECIDE.
Chicago Council Passed Mayors Mu-
nicipal Ownership Ordinances for
Control of Street Cars.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Mayor Dunno
Thursday night for the first time since
his election found majority of the
aldermen back of him and the city
council in special session did all 1t
could to advance the municipal owner
ship plans and passed the rest on to
the people. As the traction situation
now stands, the voters of Chicago will
have to decide next April whether they
want to borrow $75,OO0,OOO and go into
the street railway business, or not.
Both Of the mayors ordinances. under
the provisions of the Mueller bill were
passed by the council by small major
tiles. One of the ordinances provides
for the issue Of $75,O00,OOO Of street
railway certificates. The other ordin-
ance authorizes the city to operate as
well as own street railways. All that
remains now is the voters to ratify
the action of the council, at the April
election, but If they should fail to do
SO then matters go back to exactly
where they were before Thursdays
council meeting. The council took
all day and part of the night to do
what 1t did.
