A LARGE CROP
ON STATE FARM
Large Force Of convicts From State
Penitneitary Employed On

Wheeling. w. Va, May 25.--The 1912
harvest on the State prison farm, Just
east OF Moundsville. win be a very
heavy one, Judging from present indi-
cations, and according to the state.
ment of an official of the prison, all
previous records are In danger. Gard
ener ]. w. Miller has been very busy
at work on the farm with about 30
convict TRUSTEES" and has accom-
plished great work, despite the incle.
ment weather which has prevailed at
various times during the past few
weeks. Mr. Miller In speaking to a
newspaper representative, stated that
he was confident that there would be
splendid crop OF vegetables this
year, as all were showing nicely now.
especially tomatoes, and that the ware
rooms and graneries of the state pen
itentiary would be heavily taxed to
store the harvest.
This week the men are employed on
setting out sweet potato plants. Last
evening $4,000 plants had been set
out and $4,000 will be planted by tht
last of the week. About $4,000 toma-
to plants have been set out and 1000
more are being prepared to be plac-
ed in the ground Seven acres Of the
great tract has been planted in late
cabbage, and one acre In early cab
bage. Four and one-half acres have
been planted in onions, 10 acres In
beans. one acre in beets, one-half acre
in lettuce, and the remainder Is plant
ed in potatoes and corn.
Owing to the great amount of work
on the farm, Mr.. Miller has been able
to give but little attention to the flow
er beds on the lawn extending the en-
tire length of the institution. He will
probably be given q few extra men
the middle OF the week. and win start
preparing the beds for setting out
various sorts of flowers in elaborate
and artistic designs. The great
American flag, made Of foliage OF
three different colors, yellow, red and
purple, with small blue forget-me-nots
in the center to represent stars, which
attracted great attention last year,
will be replanted and will be made
much larger. and a species of white
flowers will be substituted in the
place of the yellow ones.
