mistrial nice Jurors foVOring acqulttal and three
conviction.
Y The statement of Mr. Rush as published is a
stronger indictment against Governor LOngino than
was the one against him (Rush) as returned by
the Kinds county grand jury. 1t is not only an
indictment against the bankers Of Jackson, and it
reveals that for near two years the money OF the
State being used most fagrantly in open viola
tiOn Of plain law, and that no kick was ever made
until the $1,000 was loaned through RaiiOrd and
Rush to Memphis parties.
The Herald does not prOposs to vOuch Oithe truth
fulness Of the statment made By Rush, but it does
say thae he hes written strong defense OF himself
II nov rests With Governor LOnginO to affirm deny
the statement and also Tor Honorable G. A. Wilson
and the Jackson bankers to. say whether or not
Rush's allegations with reference to them, are true
or false aIHUgll. @aunf8
The more scandal is exposed, the more rotten the
whole affair appears, and the more cause the people
have for cOngratulating them selves that OF the
States money was lost
The Herald has contended from the first that
every one connected With the affair, and who were
guilty Of violating the Law, should be punished.
This still think, and il the pnbliehed statement
OF Rush be true, the next grand jury ct jackson
should find indictments against every one Of them
from the Governor down. Let no guilty one escape

Apple Growers Organize.

A permanent organization of the apple growers of Southwest Mo-, and North Arkansas was made at Springfield, Mo-, last week. A meeting had been call ed at the Springfield club house by several of the local apple growers.
 The organization is for the purpose of protecting the apple growers, of getting the apples introduced into foreign countries and to interest outside capital in this country. The trade mark of the society is the big red apple of the Ozarks.
 In speaking of this project Mr. Atwood, editor of the Practical Fruit Grower published at Spring field, said that in a few years it would be the saving of 9 million dollars year for the growers.
 It was decided that there should be four meetings a year. One will be held at Springfield and the others scattered around in the remainder of the fruit sec- ton where they will do the most good. Springfield is the head quarters.
 The meetings were largely at tended by the people of Spring. field. Captain G. T. Lincoln ot Bentonville, Ark, was made tenn porary chairman, and G. A. At wood of Springfield, secretary.
 The officers and committees for the year are as follows:
 President-P. A. Rogers. Gra- vette, Ark.

TO PREVENT BITTER ROT.
The Illinois Experiment. Station
 Makes a Recom1nen ndat tion.

The Illinois Experiment Sta- ton gives the following advice in regard to the prevention of bitter rot in apples:
 From what is known the fol- lowing preventative procedure is advised: Examine the orchard tree by tree, following systemat- ically the rows-perhaps on horseback or in some way to look down as much as possible upon the fruit, the infected spots being usually on the upper surfaces of the apples. At this time of the year these spots are brown, cir cular and very slightly depressed and show clearly against the light or reddish color of the apple. As soon as one spot is found search for others and just above the uppermost ones look for the cankered limb. This limb is sure to be in such a position that spores may be washed from it onto the spotted fruit. It will now be an easy matter to cut away the diseased limb and to remove the infected fruit below it. It will be safer, however, to take all the apples from that portion of the tree subjected to infection from the canker, for it may not be easy to find the very small spots where the fungus recently started. Cut we'll below the cankered spot, avoiding the rubbing of the infected area by tools or hands. The operator who goes into the tree-top for the purpose of making examina- tions and removing cankered limbs should be provided with rubber boots or thin soled shoes, so as not to in any way cause the rupture of the bark when climbing about. All diseased limbs and fruits removed from the trees should at once be put into a wagon or other receptacle and removed from the orchard, where they will be either burned or buried deeply i'll the ground.

IN HONOR OF ELD. EATON.
Good-By Reception Rendered Him last Monday Evening.

Good-By Reception Rendered
 Him last Monday Evening.
 An informal good-by reception was rendered Eld. Sam Eaton, late pastor of the Baptist church, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. l.. Russell last Monday evening.
 Quite a large number of the members of the church and friends were present to tell him good-by and wish him godspeed on whatever field he may labor in the future.
 After some appropriate music Eld. Eaton was invited to a seat in the parlor. The career of the young minister during his so journ in Green Forest was briefly re- viewed in talk by A. J. Russell, who assured EId. Eaton of the esteem held for him not only by the members of the Baptist church, but by all citizens of the town and community, stating that his untiring labors in working for the spiritual welfare of the church, and in erecting the beau tiful and commodious house of worship, together with his gen. tlemanly, Christian bearing had greatly endeared him to the hearts of our people.
 Closing his remarks the speak CT presented Eld. Eaton with a.: dozen handkerchiefs with the compliments of the Ladies Mis- sionary Society, expressing to him the regrets of the ladies that they had nothing more valuable to offer him as token of the high esteem in which they held him.
 Responding, Eld. Eaton arose almost unspeakably full of emo- ton on account of the compli- mentary and loving terms in which his name had been used. In tears of both happiness and sorrow, he spoke very feelingly of his associations with the people here. No one regretted to say good-by more than he. He said the people of Green For- est were near and dear to him, and that no thought of him severing his relation with them would oc- cur to him did he not feel the necessity so greatly of better preparing himself for ministerial work.
 He closed his remarks with fervent prayer, asking God to deal gently with the church and the people of Green Forest; es- pecially that many of the uncon- verted with whom he had asso- ciated and labored would yet ac- cept Jesus as their Savior. So deeply impressed with the occa- sion there was scarcely an eye not dimmed in tears.
 After a song the guest of honor was addressed by J. l.. Russell, ;, stating to him that during the past twenty four hours he had taken occasion to call on a few of the members of the Baptist church and friends and that all of them were desirous of presenting him with a substantial token of esteem, and as a result of a few hours quiet work, he had to pre- sent to him a handsome gold watch and chain.
 This last token of regard com pletely overwhelmed the young minister and his feelings would not premit him to give further expression of his thankfulness.
 Appropriate remarks were made by Judge Butt, Eld. J. c. Howard, Prof. K. c. Cooper, Prof. H. H. Davis, A. J. Tabor and Mrs. M. A. Russell, after which all joined in hearty good by handshake.

Next to the proper fertilization and

the fruit is of the most Importance. 1t
matters little how much we may en-
rich the ground or prune our trees.
there will be some seasons when well
formed trees will set more fruit than
they can properly mature to large size,
good color and fine quality, and if we
wish to produce the finest fruit all of
the imperfect specimens. all of the
wormy. gnarly. distorted surplus and
very small fruit must be removed as
soon as its character can be deter
mined. This time for different varieties
and seasons will be about the 1st of
July. The cost of this work on trees
with very high branches will be so
great as to consume all profits from the
crop, but on properly formed, low head
ed trees the work can be done at COM
paratively little expense and results in
much profit to the grower and salts
faction to both the grower and con-
sumer. For the most rapid work step
ladders and common ladders of several
lengths should be on hand ready for
use, and only active, quick sighted help
should be employed. The cost of thin

considerable number have been done
has been from % to so cents each. and
the profit has in many cases been more

Selling Laying Hens

In December the writer purchased in
the open market crate of hens evi-
IDENTIFY in the neighborhood of two years
old. These were wanted to supply
trade in table fowls. After getting
them to the farm such stock is usually
fed for a few weeks in rather close
quarters and marketed. dressed, to pri-
vate customers. Among the lot of twen-
ty-four hens were four that seemed to
be fairly well bred. having consider
able Plymouth Rock blood in them.
They looked SO well that it was thought
best to put them with lot of young
pullets. with the thought they might
season. In about three weeks after
they reached their new home two of
them started to lay. A week or SO later
the other two began laying, and all
four have laid eggs regularly. about
five week, up to this time. really do
ing better than the younger pure breds
on the farm. This is mentioned here
to show how careless some farmer was
in selling for few cents a pound hens
that would lay eggs worth 2, 3 and
even cents each. according to loca-
ton. While it is generally considered
that the best results come from hens
before they are two years old. one
ought to be little careful in culling
out stock to sell and not sell those that
have been good layers until certain
their usefulness in this direction is
over.-Excbange.
