B. Bond, Nathan Graham, J. w. Grubbs and A. G. An derson. The purpose of the company is to buy and own steamboat, barges and fiatboat to be used in transport ing freight and passengers on White river and other navigable streams ir Arkansas.
 The results point to alfalfa becom- ing the leading crop for the White River valley, Mir. P. G. Magness, who now has 80 acres of this hay produ- cing crop growing in Big Bottom, has made a practical test for severa years. For this year he has cut four tons per acre and has sold it at ar average of $1o5O per ton, thus real izing SAP per acre. After a stand oi alfalfa is secured it will yield a good crop for at least 8 years without re- seeding. It can at once be seen thai this is a money crop. There is nc better hay on the market than alfalfa and Mr. Magness has had no trouble in finding ready sale for his product Baskerville Bee.
