Few peoyle in the state believe there Is any concerted effert anywhere to stop the ginning or the sale of cotton through the night rider plan, and the guarding of gins, with determined men as guards, IS expected to put sudden stop to the posting of notices. after one or two of the marauders are shct and seriously wounded. It IS probable that the Pulaski coun- ty grand jury, which is now in session, will make an effort to get at the bottom of the notices which have been posted in this county.

NIGHT RIDERS
 IN PULASKI
Notices Posted on Gin Own ed by R. D. Plunkett, a
 Wealthy Negro

Little Rock, Oct, 9. Night riding notices have appeared in Pulaski county. A large placard scrawled in ink and bearing a skull and cross bones and signed Fire and Death" appeared upon the gin house of R. D. Plunkett, a wealthy negro residing in Eagle township,a few miles from the city. The placard was put on the gin during last night and was discovered this IT orning. Plunkett was warned not to gin any more cotton for thirty days. The negro has been greatly dis turbed by the notice and will heed the warning.
 Other ginners are preparing to guard their property at night and will ignore the warnings.

POLITICAL RALLY TO

Democrats Plan Large Gath ering at Oklahoma City.
 President Condemned

Guthrie, Okla. Oct. g. What Democrats believe will be the largest political gathering in the history of Oklahoma is scheduled for tomorrow in Oklahoma City. The event is a big political rally with Gov. Haskell as the princi- pal speaker, and 1t is proposed to offer for adoption resolutions that will endorse the governor and condemn President Roose welt and W. R. Hearst for their attacks upon him The resolu- tions will also endorse the demo cratic administration, the record of Oklahoma's two democratic senators and four congressman. There is a disposition among some of the leaders to condemn those in Oklahoma who have en- ergetically opposed the governor, particularly since his resignation as treasurer of the Democratic National committee.
 It is estimated here that the attendance will not be less than 1000 including representatives from the various Bryan and Keru clubs over the state, Spe- cial trains will be run over the Santa Fe from Arkansas City andssfrom Tulsa on the Frisco. Reports are that there will be large delegations from Enid, Paul's Valley, Chickasha, Wynnewood, McAlester, El Re- no; Lawton, Dmant, Ardmore and Kay county.

WPY NOT TELL IT ALL?

Referring to Brgan's query as to why Secretary Moton was whitewashed in The Santa Fe re- bate scandal, a question also since propounded to he presi. dent by Marse Henry Watterson, the New York Tribune's Wash ington correspondent quotes the president as saying that such a question is absurd, beause it is we'll known that the attorney geneaal had declared that MT. Morton had done nothing cul- pable. It is we'll to bear in mind however, that it was not the at torney general who made the personal investigation, but en- inent special counsel appointed by the president, and whose re- port implicated MT. Morton di- rectly, and it was because this report was ignored in this find ing by the administration that Judson Harmon and his Repub- lican cenfrere retired from the case. giving their reasons in a lengthy statement.

FARMERS UNION DENIES.

Even though the officials of the Farmers Union insist that the depredations which occur daily, and which are attributed to night riders, are the acts of boys and people who have spite to vent, they grow in volume and more serious in nature. The officials of the union said it was spite which caused a wagon load of cotton to be taken from a farmer and burned in Greene county, but as yet they have given no xplanation of the burning of the gin belonging to Tom Brown, a small planter, which has just been reported from Woodson, in Saline county. It has been sug- gested that a convention be called at once of all sheriffs, constables, county and circuit judges of the state, to be held in Little Rock at once, and spend several days in discussing the roposition and formulnte plans for putting an immediate stop to the posting of notices and prevent the burning O. any more gins.

CHEAP RATES TO STATE FAIR

Owing to the generous action of the various railroads in grant ing cheop rated to the State Fair at Hot Springs. that enterprise is already an assured success. For the first time in two years people will have the privelige of travelling to and from the state fair for a fare and a half. Tick cts will be sold at all stations in Arkansas on the morning of the 11th and will be good for return until October l9.
 Anticipating the lmmen e travel which will result from this reducti ion in the fare, the roads have provided extra coach es and motive power for the week of the fair, besides which there will be five special trains run into Hot Springs ever y morning during the fair, arri I- ing there in ample to allow the visitors to witress the early morning program and leaving in the evening after the main feat ures are over.

STARTING OF
APPLE TREES
BY e. NJ. Swain.

Apple trees do best in a fertile,
clayey loan, or white oak" soil land
on a southern slope. Varieties should
be chosen which are known to be
hardy in the locality, Nearly every
state experiment station puts out data
ON this subject The trees should
never be planted closer than "a feet
each way. The soil should always be
well packed about the roots. For sew
eral years regular cultivation must
be carried on.
Between the trees crops OF potatoes
or small fruits may be grown. Clean
culture is essential to prevent infection
by insects and fungous diseases. The
trees should be watched carefully for
borers, which eat in the trunk. These
can be dug out with knife or killed
by poking wire into the aperture.
The trees give best satisfaction

with the aid and by the influence of
farmers, who were led to believe that
this bill would help them settle
hard question of light and fuel. Many
OF them thought that after this bill
was passed the average farmer would
be able to make alcohol on the farm
at a low price, and that he could use
this alcohol in place of other fuel.
The result has been disappointing to
such farmers. The price of alcohol
is still so high that It cannot be used
in place of wood or coal. At the time
the bill was passed, says the Rural
New Yorker, we told our readers that
we felt sure the alcohol industry
would be much the same as the beet
sugar business, that It would not be
made on the small farms, but concen-

PROFITABLE AGES OF FOWLS.
First Laying Year Of Hen civss
the Best Profit.

As general rule it is found that
pullets are the most profitable fowls
to keep for the production Of eggs.
Some experienced poultry men may
claim that they have Just as good
results from older animals. but the ex-
perience of the many does not seem
to bear out such a statement. We
would like to know what our readers
think about II. What age fowl has
given you the best returnsg Has your
experience been in accordance with
the following report from the Oregon
experiment station, as presented by
Prof Dryden OF that station?

wish to speak of here, one point in

Investigations during the past few
years are pretty well informed on this
point, but the importance OF this sab
Ject is not yet generally appreciated
The writer carried on for several years
at the Utah experiment station line
OF experiments with the object of de-
termining the value OF the hen at diff.
ferent ages for egg production. The
same hens were kept year after year
under similar conditions, and record
kept of production and Of food con.
sumed These experiments proved
that the hen is different from the COW,
which retains or improves her produc-
tivity with age The first year was
the most profitable, and there was a
gradual decrease in productiveness
each succeeding year 1t is safe to
figure this decrease at 25 per cent
each year. With average prices for
food and for eggs, II is not profitable
to keep hens after they have finished
their second year of laying. The
first, or pullet year is very profitable
the second will give satisfactory
profit, but during the third year the
egg yield will seldom pay for the food
consumed.
These conclusions, of course, apply
only where the eggs are sold at mar
ket prices. Fowls that have a specia
value as breeding stock should bs
