 Ordinarily the tomato plants were set two feet apart each way and trained to two stems. but recent tests seem to indicate that plants set one foot apart each way and trained to one stem will give higher yield and ripen earlier.

TO RECEIVE HIM
Making Ready {
 Honor the Ambassador.

On another page in this issue appears an article from an ex- change relative to the visit ot the Italian Ambassador to Iontl- town. Since that was printed a movement was set on foot to give him a fitting reception when he reaches Springdale, particulars of which will be given later. Our Tontitown correspondent sends Us the following commun- ication concerning the coming visit of the distinguished gentle man to that place.
 Rev r. Bandini received some time ago official notice to the ef- feet that, in short time, His Excellenev, the Italian Anbas- sador to the United States would come to visit Tontitewn. The Ambassadors deal directly with the head of tile government and personally represent the sover- eig.nS by whom they are sent and enjoy all the privileges and dis functions of heireXalted position.  It k rare that au Ambassador makes tour oI tie states in his official capacity. His visit there fore aroases much admiration and hi> visit to Tontitown shall be recorded in it@ history as I rare and glorious event. The Southern states have rom time to time sent commissioners to Washington to petition Baron J. Major des Pln1ehe~ te visit their regions. and the= Ambassador feit himself constrained to com ply with their wishes. These peqpie=are anxious te people their extensive lands with good farmers and this explains in part tlie festive receptions rendered him by tie American people and government officials throughout  his journey. The Ambassador of his ewn will expressed desire to see Tontltown and We should be anxious to show him that Northwest Arkansas and espee- ially hecounty of Washington k Tot inferior to Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas in the fec nudity of its soil nor the ho>pi- tality of ltS citizens, while 1t k superior to any of these states in the saIubrity of it's climate, the purity of its waters and the flavor and beauty of it's fruits.
 A telegram will notify Us i'll time of the exact date of the ar rival of His Excellency. The Ambassador is plain demo- cratic man, devoid of ostentatious ceremony, but We cannot disre- gard the high dignity with which he is vested and the cor dial relations existing between him and the United States.

Berry Shipments.

Monday ...... ........=..277 Tuesday .=....=. ..-.#...... 289 Wednesday ...=...... 50
 675 Wednesday ..=..............,2 cars The first car lot shipments went out Wednesday night. The Shippers Union and the Fruit Growers Union shipped one car together and the Berry Growers Association loaded one car and got good start on another. The Association sold its car on the track to St. Joe, Mo-, people for s1.so per crate. The other car was consigned to Denver, Colorado.
 The F'ruitmen's Union at Johnson have adopted an excel lent means of advertising their berries and incidentally the country. They have hand somely engraved eolored label which they paste on tlle ends Of the crates which covers t com pietely. Tie label shows | bunch of ripe strawberries. and the reading tells us they were grown by for Fruitmens Union Johnson, Ark. The Johnson growers have exhibited q bit of enterprise which might be followed by other associations.
 The first home grown berries of the season were brought to town Thursday of last week, April 2, by J. ". Cloer living east of town in the vicinity of Sonora. He brought in two crates of the Early Mitchell va riety and sold them to J. (. John son for o200 per crate. Mr. Cloer brought in the first berries last year but was three days later than this year.
 Twenty cars of berries were shipped from Van Buren Monday, making 70 cars for the season. Mondays shipmnnt will probably be the biggest of the season at Van Buren.
 E. H. Anderson went down to Johnson Wednesday and will re- main until the close of the ship ping season inspecting berries for the Fruitmeu's Union at that place.
 Quite d number of piekers are coming in from the south on al- most every train, and so far the indications are there will be enough pickers to gather the crop.
 NJ. o. Caudle brought to The News office Wednesday curios- ity in the way of strawberry. Several small berries had grown together, making one large berry. Wednesday, Kansas City Star says shipments of straw berries to that place are heavy. Extra fancy were quoted at S1.50 per crate; soft 50 cents to S1.25.
 Two cars were sent out from Johnson Wednesday night and it was expected that two more cars would be shipped yesterday.
 Ninety crates of berries were shipped from Rogers Tuesday, and they expected to begin load ing their first car yesterday.
 H. H. Graham left Wednesday afternoon for Omaha, Neb., where he will represent the Ozark Fruit Growers Association.
 Berries are retailing in Spring dale at , cents per quart and everybody is eating them.
 The weather has been ideal this week for berry picking.
 So far the berries are firm and of good quality.
 Picking will begin in earnest next week.

HOW BIG IS BEAVER COUNTY, ?
Who Rnows2 How Much Do They
Erowf And How Much Don't
They Know?

The Governor of Oklahoma has re-
Gently issued report Of the condition
of thiags in the Territory, which con-
iains much interesting reading matter.
IN speaking OF Beaver County, the
opeHng para graph gives the following
statement In regard TO the size and
location Of tho county:
"rhat section OF the country former
lg known rs the Neutral Strip or No
Mas Land, lG1 miles in length and
3ila miles in width, containing 3,6S1,-
3C0 acrae, vas added to Oklahoma in
1890. Il is now Beaver county. It is
lpcated between the one hundredth and
tho one hundred and third meridians,
and between the parallels 36Deg So
Min. and 81 Deg north latitude"
Now we are not much on "figgers,"
but il strikes us--and always has struck
us that there is something queer in
that statement or course we know
that the Governor has used the stero-
typed style OF telling how big Beaver
County Is but is it true description,
aud does it state the true size of the
county? Let us "figger'' little
We were taught at school that a de-
gree Of latitude contained sixty geo.
graphical miles exactly that much,
and no more and no less. But here
comes the assertion of the Governor
that Beaver County lies "between the
parallels 30 deg, and 80 min. and 81
deg Now what we would like to know
is this; II II degree of latitude is Just
sixty miles. and Beaver county occu-
pies the space between latitude 36 deg.
and so min. and 81 degrees, how does
IL come that the distance across the
county is 341s miles, instead of 80
miles, the number supposed to be in
one-half of a degree?
Again: 1t is stated that Beaver
county is ''located between the Tooth
and the l03rd meredians," and that it
(the county, is '1G7 miles in length :"
Referring back TO our schoolboy days
again, we were taught that degree of
longitude Mt the evuator is 6al5 miles
and that the width OF degree of long
itude decreased as it approached the
pole, where all the longitudinal lines
converged, and where there was no
longitude. We don't know the exact
width Of degree of longitude at this
latitude of 30 deg. but it is more than
511a miles, then the county is more
than l67 miles long. According to
our figures, the county is at least III
miles long, instead of 1877 miles. Ten
miles by 3l1a miles makes quite nice
little patch of ground about 227, ,4So
acres.
The reason we bring this subject up
is the fact that the measured distances
from one point To another, east and
west have never corresponded with the
estimated length of the courty. And
we would also like To know how halt
degree Of latitude comcs to he Sl1s
miles in Beaver County and only q
miles anywhere else, We would like
to have the advanced pupils of the
high school solve this problem for us !
