OKLAHOMA ASA hlLLON LAND
An Output of 40uc-Loads Expected
Tbi« year.
Oklahoma melon grower* are now
planting what they hope will he a
record breaking crop, 'llie bueiues*
hn ;,f.r »;ib generally -u satiifac
tory, both ia yield and prices, that
those who were engaged in it look
forward to an even more profitable
business thi* season. The greatest
difficutly lias been ia getting good
markets. It Is only within the last
year or two that northern buyers
have learned that Oklahoma can pro-
duce a constant supply of water-
melons and cattle-loupes of a superior
size and quality.
In one Instance, a commission firm
that had War Bril this fact let the
growers fall so hard in 1897 by robbing
tlu-Lj that the lit ter were slow to
recover from the distrust that lollow-
e 1 their los es.
VV. H. Merten of this place is the
most extensive grower of melons in
Oklahoma, and ships thousands of
melons to market every year. He
handled the outnut at Guthrie and
l.awrie laht year, which amounted to
about Jilt) carloads, lie said today
that he ex pected to sen nearly 300
carloads shipped front these points
this season.
Oklahoma county, which has here-
tofore never been a factor in the
melon business, promises this year to
be a strong competitor of Guthrie
and l.awrie. A growtr who was en-
gaged in tfe melon business at I lucky
Ford. Col., lias been instrumental in
having nearly 400 acres planted to
canteloupes near Oklahoma City,
w here there are good shipping facil-
ities to both Kansas City and St.
Louis. The total output of melons of
all kindt in Oklahoma last year i*
estimated at about 200 curl suds. This
year it should be almost dsuble.
Persons familiar with the best
methods of growing melons have
usually found Lie business'profitable
in < )klah*ma. Many farmers engage
in it as a side L.-ue. Mr. Merten is
an expert grower. Speaking of his
success in 1898, he said: "I planted
a field of melons, both canteloupes
and watermelons, which I cultivated
thoroughly. I hired all my work
done, and went to the extra expense
of suhs«iling. The cost an acre, from
the day tkc plow turned the dirt to
the moment the melons wers on board
the cars, did not exceed *10. My
gross receipts an acre averaged $30,
leaving me a net profit of $20 an acre.
What grower of melons can realize
in Oklahoma a profit of $10 an acre."

A Chickasaw Romance.
There is no stranger romance of
the war than that of Fete Wolf, a
Chickasaw Indian, who was a second
lieutenant ia troop M of the rough
riders, and fought in the Cuban cam-
paign. When the war with Spain
came and the men of the west wer*
given a chance to enlist, Wolf was
among the first to do so. Although
several times wounded lie would not
go to the hospital until a hole was
shot in his side. Then he only re-
mained there for a day or two. When
the soldiers went into Santiago city
to raise the flag Wolf met a Spanish
girl named Aneta Calleja. Her
father had been one of the richest
men on the island but his fortune
had dwindled away.
He was proud and stormed when his
daughter was seen talking with the
rough rider. The Indian meant busi-
ness. anil the girl loved him with an
undying nature. When he was forced
to leave with the army ho told her he
would return in a short time and take
her witli him to the United State*.
When tiie soldiers were mustered out
lie hastened back to Cuba and took
the girl. The father objected and he
was promptly killed. To Wolf this
was nothing. He has killed many
Indians alut several whits men and
has also served a term of two years
in the penitentiary fordivers crimes
The newspapers were full of the de-
tails of the crime at the time. No
one knew who murdered the old man,
but they suspected his daughter. In
the meantime the Indian and his
bride hastened to America under
different names and were married in
New York and then went lout -west
and have been living quietly on a
ranch in the Chickasaw nation. -

No Morel Hazard ia Oklahoma.
The fire insuraaee uaierwriters of
Oklahoma contemplated further re-
duction ia insurance rate* during the
year. A 25 per cent reduction was made
last October. At the meeting held at
Oklahoma City this week the opinion
was expressed that because of good
time* the moral hazard had been al-
most eliminated from the business in
Oklahoma. The companies made a
handsome profit in Oklahoma during
the year 189#. The losses in Indain ter-
ritory, however, were very great and
made a big hole in earning. The moral
hazard there was a serious matter.
The insurance agents believe that
they will meet with much trouble
from that source in 1899, owing to the
disturbance caused by the allotting
of lands.
Xafflr Corn in Oklahoma.
The experiment with kaffir corn at
the experiment station in 1898 adds
to the evidence of the great value of
this crop for Oklahoma. . In the tests
as to the thickness of planting, five
plats give an average yield at a rate
of 87 bushels threshed grain, 50 pounds
to the bushel, ranging from 80 to 102
bushels per acre; six others gave
average yield at the rate of 73 bushels
per acre
The largest yield was where the
corn was planted thicker than most
farmers think best, when the grain is
the part chiefly desired. With rows
three feet apart, four plats, where
the stalks averaged one to a little
over four inches, gave yield of 83
bushels; ten plats, with stalks aver-
aging one to eight inches, gave yields
at the rate of 46 bushels, and six plats
where the stalks averaged one for a
little over 12 inches, gave yields at
the rate of 24 bushels per acre.
Where the rows were 30 inches or 44
inches, apart, the yields decreased
with the same proportion. The
thicker planting gave a larger total
yield, as well as larger yields of seed.
Two plats gave yields of stover at the
rate of over 7i tons per acre.
The yields in 1897 were much smal-
ler than those in 1898, but, as this
year, the larger yield* where the
rows were three feet apart and the
stalks were at the rate of one for
each six inches or less. It is believed
that, for average upland soils in the
territory, it is advisable to plant sc
as to have one stalk at about every
two inches in rows three feet apart.
The weight of stalks and leaves is
greater and tke quality better than
with thinner planting.
The “Black Hulled White" was the
variety used. The land Bkould have
been given a coating of stable ma-
nure. The cultivation was not ex-
ceptional in any way.
