SHREVEPORT CAPITAL ,, TO BUILD RAILROAD
v Will Construct Line From Bradley, Ark, on Cotton Belt. East
 to Red River
The Shreveport Times says;

A plan in which F. w. Hamiter of Shreveport and Messrs. Para mour, millionaires of St. Louis, are said to be interested, will, if the citizens prove true, develop into an immense investment for the Shreveport territory. It will mean a new logging road in Arkansas just north of the Louisiana line, and a factory for making oak and hickory products, either in Shreve port or across Red river in Bossier.
 Few of the particulars Of the proposition have become known. But there is said to be no doubt about the plan having been under consideration for some time, With sufficient development for an inn portant announcemet soon.
 ''The plan, as far as learned, is to bund a road from Bradley, Ark, o;n the Cotton Belt road. east to Red E4yer, through one of the richest RMber sections of Arkansas. The line, according to the tip received, will be built by the St. Louis mil lionaires, Mr. Hamiter, and prob- ably F. L. Fields & Co.,, of Union City, Ind, who have large holdings near Bradley and are said to be figuring on a deal whereby to be- come associated with their other interests. After building the road the parties interested are expected to invest additional money in a factory for manufacturing the rough logs into useful working inn Dlements, such as hoe and aX han- lles, and into furniture and other products. From Bradley they will have the Cotton Belt line over which to ship the logs to the plant here. Some of the timber will probably make the trip by water, mostly pine logs, which will be cut into lumber.
 ''It is said that there is ten year cut of timber in the section to be traversed by the proposed road out of Bradley, and that Shreve- port may expect most of the benefit outside of the personal gain of the investors.
 A several weeks ago the Para 1mour brothers visited Shreveport and bought considerable land i'll this section. During their visit
 lere was a rumor that they con- implated spending great deal lore money hereabouts, and the proposed factory and timber road IS a result of the trip.

Many so-called "btters" are not medicines, but simply liquids disguis- ed, so as to evade the law. Prickly Ash Btters is not one of this class. It is strictly medicine, acting pri- marily on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and for the dangerous dis eases that attack these organs it is a remedy of the first grade. There is nothing objectionable in it's taste, t has an agreeable flavor and is ac- ceptable to the most delicate stomach.

ears from those plants which pro-
duced two ears and partially formed
a third were divided into two lots,
one containing the upper ears and
one the lowest ears.
Since 1899, the first year of the Sc
lection, the experiments have been
made, in one case by saving seeu
from the upper ears of those plants
which produced the largest number,
and in the other by saving seed from
the lowest ears borne by those plants
which produced the largest number
The results Of these experiments
show steady increase in the number
Of ears per plant.
In 1901, the fourth year of the ex-
pertinent, but the first one in which
sufficiently detailed records were kept
to show the percentages, only thir-
ty-hve per cent of the plants bore
more than one ear. In 1905 ninety
per cent. bore more than one ear, the
highest number from single plant
being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
good results as selection from the
upper ear, which is doubtless due to
the fact that such lower ears are Of
ten poorly developed

A Legislative Reference Bureau.

The folliwing, from Wallace's
Farmer, contains a suggestion which
we think would be a good one for
our own legislature:
The legislatures of Wisconsin and
some other states have done a wise
thing in providing for the establish
ment at their capitals Of Legislative
reference bureau, the object of which
is to have at hand ready for use &C
curate information on any subject that
may come up in the way of legislation.
One needs to be member of the leg
islature, or quite familiar with it's pro-
ceedings, to see how absolutely impor-
tant such a bureau is, if judicious leg
islation is to be secured.
The members Of the legislature are
farmers, lawyers, physicians, business
men, who are called from their daily
accustomed work to enact theetao
accustomed work to enact laws, for
the enactment Of which they have had
no previous training. They are neces-
sarily for the first year like sheep
without a shepherd, 'and the WOLF
snatcheth them, and scattereth them,
or like soldiers without commanding
officer. Corporations Of various kinds
that have by-ends to serve by way Of
legislation send as lobbyists Cor, if
that is too harsh term, as attorneys)
for the corporation and advisers for
the legislators men who have had
special training in their particular
lines. These advisers of the legis-
lators often prepare the bills which
are proposed for enactment, not infre-
quently making the bill apparently
drastic, but having a cocker" hidden
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-13

somewhere which defeats the object
of the bill; or it may be Intentionally
framed SO as to be unconstitutional
IN its requirements, the object being
to make the people believe that they
have secured legislation, whereas
they know beforehand that it can be
declared unconstitutional and there
fore void. A shrewd lawyer can Of
ten persuade committee on railroads
or other corporations that certain
act is unconstitutional, whereas as a
matter OF fact similar law may have
been declared constitutional by half
dozen different states.
A legislative information bureau of
this kind in the hands of competent
man would be able to furnish the COM
mittees and individual members of the
Legislature exact and definite and re-
liable information on any subject that
might come up, and would completely
counterfeit the influence of MANY who
have personal and selfish interests to
serve which has heretofore dictated
SO much legislation, ostensibly in the
interests of the people but really ad-
verse.

Corn Selection.

do you grow corn and if so, do
you select your seed or plant any
thing that is convenient or at hand?
Do you know what has been &C
complished in the northwest by Sc
lection Of seed corn? One man, Prof.
Holden of Iowa has increased the
yield of corn in the state Of Iowa
many thousands of bushels, each year,
by teaching the farmers to select
the best seed corn Something Of
what can be done in that line is
shown by an extract from a bulletin
of the Rhode Island Experiment Sta
Stock Journal The article was IL
Illustrated by some cuts of the ears
from two stalks, one Of which bore
nine and the other II ears. Of the
II ears, six are large, of the other
five, one is a we'll filled we'll shaped
ear, though smaller than the g large
ones, then there are four nubbins on
which there is but little corn. The
article is as follows:
"The Rhode Island experiment sta
ton has been making experiments i'll
corn selection for the purpose of de-
termining how far it is possible to
increase the number of ears per plant
by selecting from year to year with
that end in view A bulletin issued
by the station says the experiment
was begun in 1893, by planting plat
with ordinary commercial seed Of
Potter's excelsior sweet corn. This
variety was chosen, because it was
the only one generally used by the
market gardeners of the state, being
a medium season variety Of good
quality, producing ears of good size
and appearance. The corn develop
ed we'll that year, and notes taken
at the end of September show that
there were number of stalks bearing
two good-sized ears with silk and
husks developed for a third. In a
few cases these stalks showed lit
tie corn on the third ear Seed was
saved from these most promising
stalks for the continuation of the
work
Selection from that time until 1904
was carried on in two different lines
The motive for this arose from a
suggestion from seedsman, re-
ce1ved some years ago, to the effect
that the greatest progress could be
made in increasing the number of
ears by choosing seed from the low
est ear of the stalk The theory
upon which this supposition was
founded is that since the lowest ear
is the last to form and the most i'm
perfect in its development, this rep
resents the final effort of the plant to
increase the number of ears. Ac-
cording to this theory, seed from the
lowest ear, even though a very i'm
perfect one, is to be preferred to
seed taken from much better de-
veloped upper ear Accordingly the
