Wheat Growing in Arkansas.
Gazette,

Gazette.
The unprecedented ad-
vance in wheat last week,
the high prices which the
southern cotton-grower will
necessarily have to pay for
flour next year, ought to be
sufficient to induce him to
raise wheat enough for
home consumption. There
was a day in Arkansas, and
not very long ago, it seems
to US, when nearly every
upland farmer raised the
wheat from which to make
his bread. FIGURING mills
were to be found in nearly
every neighborhood. Dur
ing the war we remember
one, high up on the waters
of Bayou Des Arc, which
run constantly and was
never nlolested by the fed
erals. At Austin, Searcy,
Des Arc and other points
Touring mills were kept
busy. Since the war the
south has depended on the
northwest and north for her
flour, foolishly, extravaganza
ly so. Arkansas w h e a t
crops will make oftener,
one year with another, than
those Of Nebraska. If not
so much TO the acre, aptly
abundant to pay. There
are uplands in Lonoke coun-
ty which will grow from
fifteen to thirty bushels Of
wheat to the acre, yet little,
if any, is planted. A man
in Arkansas county a year
or two ago planted in wheat
an old field which had been
titled for nearly a half cen
tury, He thrasheG. over
twenty-five bushels an acre,
hauled the wheat TO the
| Little Rock mills and had
his own flour and plenty to
sell his neigh bors. He did
this for years and may be
at it yet for all we know
Don't say now that we are
newspaper farmers. Hyou
have a grain of sense and
want to farm to make money
YOU will concede that it is
best to raise what you eat
on your farm, Lonoke has
a good Touring MILL Ii our
farmers will try a patch OF
wheat the coming year and
don't confess there's money
in it, who then we will agree
to eat all the seconds Will
the shorts to boot, Because
Lonoke county stubbornly
refuses to raise this cereal
the mill here, put in at
very heavy cost, stands
idle. 1t was only run one
season and then Kansas
wheat was sent here to feed
it. Shame on such 4 manner

we shall not say the abil-
ity-to "live at home, " so
to speak.
Another cause, already
incidentally referred to, was
in some cases, no doubt,
that of failing to deal with
the production of wheat as
they did that Of cotton,
encouraging it only as a
side line Of TIE farm, in
stead of staple, from which
to derive the bread with
which to back up the
strength required to make
cotton. Save and excepting
distribu ted by our congress-
men, not one cotton farmer
in the state out of a thou
sand has either experiment
ted with wheat, or ex-
pended a dollar for seed
wheat, Notwithstanding his
own history and the ira"
dltions of his locality prove
his own section Of the state
adapted to the growing
of wheat,
Wheat growing is no more
a hazard Of the die than is
the growing of cotton
Careful selection of seed
through experiment, a
reasonable fair soil, and
frequently, artificial aids by
means of fertilizers. in the
case Of wheat, can be expect
ed to insure good results, as
the same means do in the
c use Of other crops. For IN
stance, in a late discussion OF
the subject, the fact was
brought oat that in the red
wheat lands Of middle Geor-
gia, it was, in spite of fertll-
lzers and chemical prevent
ives in which the wheat was
soaked, impossible to over
come rust, until the intro
duction Of 4 bearded Medlt'
erranean wheat, when the
difficulty apparently solved
itself, thus saving the pro-
duction of wheat to that
part Of the state OF Gcor-
gia. And in the course Of
the wheat crops this year
grown in Yell county, it was
found that the large yield
per acre was derived from q
bearded wheat differing from
varieties grown by its farm
ers at the time wheat-grow-
ing was given up Tor the
growing Of cotton,
We should be glad to sec
our state authorities, who
have charge Of such matters
take hold Of the present
ten dency of our farmers to
the home production Of food
for both man and beast, at
the sane time they realize
the necessity of growing cot
ton largely as a surplus crop
Everywhere in the state
there is an awakening to
necessities Of the case, and
the movement should not die

Lake Ann, village of 500 inhabit-
ants on the Manistee & Northeastern
railroad, Is miles south of Traverse
City, was almost wiped out of existence
by fire. Seventy-iye families are
homeless and as every store in the
town was destroyed there was not food
enough for even one meal for half of
them. 'The fire broke at l p. m. in the
mill of VIM. Habbler, presumably from
the engine room. The high wind
blowing from the southwest spread
the flames through the main portion
Of the town very swiftly. The bust
ness part was cleaned up in an hour,
including all stocks of goods. The
saw mill, stave factory, cooperage
sheds, warehouses and the large stock
of lumber of VIM. lIabbler were total
loss. Traverse City was asked for help,
and an engine and crew were sent by
special train, but it was almost too
late. The additional help saved about
half million feet of lumber. the coop
erage factory and dozen small dwell
ings on the outskirts. The burning of
the mills and factories throws the
main portion of the males outSof en-
ployment. The heaviest loss was sus-
tanned by VIM. Habbler, who will lose
about $50, 600 Putnam & Burnett lose
about SIC, ooO Other losses on stores,
business structures and dwellings and
furniture range $3.50 up and brings the
total to about S125, 900. Habbler has
SIS, 500 insurance, Putnam & Burnett
So, 900 and scattering about 50, 900 more.
Mrs. Masters, aged so, was cremated.
She escaped once from the burning
dwelling, but returned for valuables,
when the building collapsed and all
efforts to rescue her were unavailing.

Way to San Francisco Wrecked and
Five Persons Killed-VenezueIa Has
an Exciting Cabinet Crisis.
Christian Endoavor Trains wrecked.


The great international Christian En-
deavor convention at San Franciso and
the low rates made by the railroads at
tracted many hundreds of excursion
lists and the dates for the starting of
the trains drew such crowds into Chi
cago that the railroads had hard work
to handle them. One large excursion
train was sent out from Chicago on the
Chicago & Northwestern in nine Sec
tions carrying about 5000, and when
about 80 miles out collision occurred
between sections and which had
started Is minutes apart. Section 5
came up behind at great speed and the
shock of the collision was terrific. The
passengers in the two rear sleepers of
section were all in their berths.
They received no warning and those
not killed outright awoke to find them
selves damned in the wreckage. Pass
engers on both trains fastened to the
spot and began the work of rescue. One
OF the first of the injured taken out
was Engineer Charles Courtney, of sec
ton 5. He had struck to his post like
hero and is SO seriously injured that
he cannot live. The body of an un-
identified man, supposed to be tramp,
was found between baggage car and
the engine crushed to death. Three
persons were found to be killed out
right and about 90 or 30 persons in
jured. The dead are: Mrs. John Good
ing, and Mrs. II. Shipman, both of APP
pleton, Wis, and the unknown tramp,
who was riding between engine and
baggage car.
Train IL, on the Vandalia railroad,
which left Indianapolis with large
number of Christian Endeavorers, col
lided with train O, bound east from st.
Louis, near Vandalia, Ind. Two train
men were killed and two fatally in
jured, as follows: Killed-R. Il. Sher-
man, mail clerk No. @, of Indianapolis,
and w. p. Coon, baggageman, of In
dianapolis, on No IL. Fatally injured
Samuel Parkinson, mail clerk, of
Columbus, O., crushed in the wreck,
Frank Ownes, fireman, of Terre Haute,
mangled under the engine. None of
the passengers were seriously injured.

State Bar Association.

The eighth annual convention of the
Michigan State Bar association was
held at Port Huron. President O'Brien
j. Atkinson, in his annual address,
gave history of the association and
recommended the reading of biogra-
phies of leading members of the bar at
future meetings of the association.
An animated discussion was had on the
new law which admits graduates of
the u. of M. law school and of the De-
troit College of Law to practice upon
the strength of their diplomas. The
general trend of the discussion was in
opposition to the law. There were
a number OF other interesting and inn
portant matters debated and papers
read. The entertainment of the law
yers included trip on the river to
Stag island and banquet at the Har-
rington hotel.

Lightning struck the house of Geo.
Copeland during storm at Stanwood
and burned it to the ground at a. IN.
The grown people escaped from the
burning structure without trouble, but
Mrs. Baudoin, Copeland's sister-in-law,
discovered that her two little children
were still in the flames and she rushed
in to save them. She succe eded in car
rying out her little boy, although he
was SO badly burned that he may die,
and then she returned for her little
girl. Neither mother nor child reached
the open air again, but both persisted
in the flames.

100000 MEN IDLE.
$4,000 Coal Miners Strike for Living
$4,000 Iron and steel Workers Out

$4,000 Coal Miners Strike for Living
SO, 900 Iron and steel Workers Out.
Dispatches from various coal mining
centers say that circulars have been
placed in the hands of all the bitumi-
nous coal miners in the United States
calling them out on strike. 1t is esti-
mated that 375 900 men will be in volved.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana,
and parts of West Virginia and Ken
lucky will contribute to the movement
The strike Is to,enforce the Columbus
scale of SO cents per ton for Pennsyl-
vania; 60 cents for Ohio and Indiana,
and SIS cents for Illinois.
The Ohio miners have been looking
for this for several months. When the
conferences between the miners repre-
sentatives and the operators recently
failed to bring any sign of better
wages, but showed instead the proba-
bility of a further reduction, it was
felt that strike must come. The
United Miners officials set to the task
of bringing the miners of other states
to the point also, and had very little
trouble in doing so.
