CECIL FARMERS CLUB.
VARIOUS AGRICULTURAL MAT
TIERS DISCUSSED.
Regular Meeting at the Home of VIM.
W. Moore, Near COlOra.


At the recent meeting of the Cecil
Farmers Club at the home Of Mr. William
W. Moore, near Colora, Mr.. A. J. Michener
in speaking of the application Of bone
said he would apply onehalf ton of pure
raw bone per acre. lie knew it would pay
him 10 do so. 1t is like putting money in
bank it IS there for the crop to draw on.
Mr. Coudon thought capital should nor
be in bank, but kept in active employment.
Mr. Wilson said that the amount of lime
which had been found most profitable at
the Experiment Station was fifteen bushels
pei acre. He had applied one-half ton of
bone per acre but had not found it profit
able
The president designated Mess. Cam
eron, Reeder and Rawlings the committee
to examine Mr.. Moore's premises. Upon
assembling after dinner Mr. Cameron, a.
chairman, said the first thing they noticed
was fine lot of hogs. The next "a very
fine field of timothy, a twenty-seven acre
field of corn standing knee high, and a
good field of wheat, the heads we'll filled
All the surroundings looked very promis-
ing.
Questions being in order Mr.. Bond asked
which was the most profitable and eco
nomical mode of raising crop of corn,
drilling or checkering.
Mr.. Rawlings said he practised drilling
and when the corn got three inches high he
narrowed thoroughly with a forty tooth
spike harrow, therefore does not have much
trouble in keeping the crop clean.
Mr. Reeder said he practised drilling
and narrowing thoroughly when corn is
coming up.
Mr.. Moore said he preferred checkering
with rows three feet nine inches apart each
way.
Mr.. Cameron asked which is best to cul.
tvate corn deep or shallow.
Mr.. Rawlings said to cultivate deep
when corn is small, when large keep
little farther from the plant.
Mr.. Maxwell said he believed in deep
cultivation, but as the corn grows larger
keep little more shallow.
Mr.. Balderson said he believed in deep
cultivation, so much depended upon the
condition of the soil. Thought while corn
was small the roots had not spread enough
to imperil the growth of the plant.
Mr.. Bond asked the opinion of the club
if it were of advantage to pillow in the fall.
Mr.. Moore said while he thought the soil
fertility might exhaust during winter it
is Of advantage in killing worms and aided
in getting the soil in good mechanical con
dition for the crop.
Mr.. Coudon said he did not think there
was any iron clad rule in this case as there
are so many different kinds OF soil.
Mr.. Clifford asked what was the most
reliable variety of strawberries for late
bearing
Mr.. Camerson said he had found the
Candy to be satisfactory.

There is a vast difference between trusts organized to use capital in esta olishing productive industries and developing the wealth of a country, and those organized 10 raise the price of certain commodities. In the first instance capital is organized and labor employed to establish productive en- prises and develop the country and in the second manufacturing institutions combine to curtail production, throw labor out of employment and rob the people by placing exorhitant prices on their products. As an example, we see it stated that stove trust has recently been formed representing S10, 900, 900, and it IS quite probable that within the next sixty days prices of all kinds of stoves, ranges, heaters, etc, will be advanced 20 per cent,

The bitter controversy that mas been going on between Port Arthur and Sabine Pass as to the relative altitude of the town sites is probably a matter of some moment to the peo- pie on the coast, where cities are sometimes submerged by storm waves from the Gulf, but the people of Mena can view this quarrel with complais- ance from their safe and healthful elevation of 1, 400 feet If the water presses too near for ease of mind, come up and visit, and you may find it agreeable to share our pros perity, health and comforts.

According to the Washington corre- spondent of the Chicago Record a boom in railroad building has struck the South, and it is estimated that B. GOO miles of new track will be laid, which is 30 per cent more than was construct ed in the entire country last year and four times as much as was built in the South, In speaking of the roads that are to be constructed in this state the Records correspondent says: Bonds have recently been foated by Chicago capitalists for the construe- tion of the Springfield Little Rock and Gulf road, which is to run north and south 470 miles through the state of Arkansas. The Colonial Trust Go. of New York has negotiated bonds for the construction of the Mississippi, Hamburg and Western railway, from the Mississippi river seventy miles into the interior of Arkansas Little Rock Gazette.

 clearly illegal method with view to
 punish a road for giving the people
 better facilities and cheaper rates for
 their products to reach the markets
 with, then it is not only indefensible
 but contemptable and cannot win the
 respect or sympathy of the people.
 It now appears that because the
 Port Arthur Route has opened up a
 new and shorter highway over which
 to ship the products of the great West
 to the markets of the world, shorter
 by hundreds of miles than others, and
 because of it's superior facilities and advantages it is giving reasonable rates and refuses to enter the great Southern Traffic Association. that association, composed of the Missouri Pacific, St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, Texas Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Chicago, Rock
 Island S Pacific, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, St. Louis S San Francisco, and the Southern Pacific have instituted a boycott against this road regarding freights and threaten to carry it to the passenger traffic also. This action, if carried out, will surely result in making friends for the Pittsburg & Gulf among the people who will most heartily endorse and sustain the action of the new road in remaining indepe ndent and refusing to join d great pool to maintain the high rates charged by the other roads
 This fact is shown by the Arkansas Gazette, of Little Rock, which in speaking of the boycott says:
 In the meantime the Pittsburg x Gulf is going straight ahead develop ing and perfeeting its system. The line from Kansas City to Omaha will soon be completed, while connections have already been arranged to get into Chicago. regular line of steamships has been established between Port Arthur and Europe and between that point and Vera Cruz, Mexico. Trans portation charges have been largely reduced and the new road finds itself overwhelmed with traffic
 If we are not badly mistaken the boycott of the great southwestern railway lines against this new road will not succeed in injuring, but will rather strengthen it. We would be glad to see the Pittsburg & Gulf peo- pie take hold of the Springfield. Little Rock & Gulf project and complete the system in connection with their other road. We would be glad, too to see them build a road from Mena to Hot Springs and thence to Little Rock. connecting here with the Memphis & Little Rock and completing the Ward Northern road, thus giving them two outlets to the East-one via and the other via Helena The people back of the Pittsburg X Gulf are able to d. this. When done and direct connection made with Port Arthur from the west through Central Arkansas, railroad system will have beer developed ot untold value
 The boycott cannot win ill this case. It is clearly illegal and the public the position taken by Mir Orr, the general passenger agent. when he declares that "the Pittsburp X Gulf will not join any passenger traffic association under any circum- stances boycott or no boycott"
 The facts are this fight on the Pitts. burg S Gulf is begun because this road is cutting into the business of the other roads so heavily in the ship ments of lumber cotton and grain.
