Threatened to drive. the farmers out of
business until the Field and Farm sug-
gested the sowing of winter wheat on
foul land.
In the fall of 1898 n few farmers tried
the experiment with such excellent re-
suits that many others became interest
ed. Last year about ten per cent. of
the grain grown i'm the Little ThOmp-
son valley was winter wheat, the yield
running from thirty-six to fifty-fve
bushels Of splendid quality. Last fall
nearly one-half of the wheat fields of
that valley We're seeded to winter wheat
and the yield is even better than that
of the previous season. Winter wheat
rs sowed from about the middle of Sep
'tember to the middle of October. The
wheat and wild oats come mp about the
same time and usually cover the ground
before severe frosts appear. The first
severe fall frost that occurs after the
grain is well out of the ground kills off
the wild oats without in the least injur
ing the wheat latter being hard
ier plant than wild oats.
The following spring the wheat starts
early, natures early and the field is
consequently comparatively free from
wild oats. Should there be stalk here
and there that withstood the froste of
winter, which is hardly possible, it cat
do no harm, because the wheat will
ripen and Ike ready for the sickle long
before the oats are matured and ready
to scatters seed. In this way the farmers
are clearing their fields of-wild oats and
getting rid of one of the worst of pests.
Net only this, but they are raising bet
ter, and cleaner wheat and more of it
tu the acre and get better price for it
than they could get for dirty spring
wheat If the wheat fields are seeded
in the fall the farmer has more time in
the spring to give to other matters al
ways needing his attention at that sea-
son of the yesr.
Then again winter wheat ordinarily
needs but one irrigation and sometimes
not that much. Ii is often the case, as
has occurred the past two seasons, that
spring rains afford sufficient moisture
TO mature the crop without irrigation.
We would advise farmers. everywhere
to try few acres of winter wheat this
fall. In many places the ground is in
fine condition for blowing and the
sooner the work is done the better. If
the field can first be irrigated or is fa-
vored with an August shower, the wet
ting will prove II great advantage. If
the ground is very hard use disk plow
and always harrow the same day the
blowing is done. Continue the har-
rowing each week to conserve moisture
and SOW east and west with press drill
the second week I'M September.

WILL GET RELIEF. BILL APPEALING PLUM BAYOU LEVEE DISTRICT ACT Has Passed the Senate and It Is Ger tain to Pass the House at an
 Early Date.

In 1899 a law was enacted by the general assembly of Arkansas creat- ing the Plum Bayou levee district The law affected the planters on the Arkansas river in Pulaski, Louohe and Jefferson counties. The object of the law was to levy tax on all the lands affected for the purpose of building a ie1ee on the north sid cf the river. ! he farmers in the distt5et naturally objected to the law on the grounds that it would work hard. ship on them in the way of taxation and would not afford tne protection claimed.
 They urged Senator Creed Cald- we'll, of this city if possible, to se- cure a repeal of the law, and, accord ingly, he recently introduced a bill in the senate repeating the law The bill vas considered Monday by that bod! and passed by unanimous vote. The bill was taken up in the house soon afterwards and read first and second time. It is certain that the bill will pass the house.
 The news of the repeal of this law would be gladly received by the planters residing in the district, as they did not favor it from any stand point. A large number of suits, brought by farmers residing in the district soon after the bill became a law, in which they protested against paying the tax levied, are now pend ing in the courts,

The police OF the city were called out
last night by woman. who told them
someone had stolen from her house 3
very valuable package which she was
just going to send to her mother for a
Christmas present.
For half the night almost the officers
were on the alert for any clue which
might lead to the recovery Of the parcel.
At'about midnight they returned to the
hall of the house where the package had
been left, asd, in searching for some evil
dence, made such noise that one Of the
roomers in the house was awakened and
came out to enquire the cause OF the
trouble, and, upon being informed,
laughed and said: "Oh, saw that pack
age lying in the hail, and thought it had
been forgotten; 80 put it whore
thought tho lady would find it tho arst
thing. Here it is" And following him
the officers and the woman discovered
the package safely put away under hel
