ton met Thursday in annual session
in the Senate chamber of the state
house. The association remained in
session the entire day, adjourning

taken during the meeting was the cleo
ton of new officers for the ensuing
year and the adoption of recon-
mendation made by the retiring presi-
dent to the effect that the 81, 600 given
the two colonels of the Arkansas regi-
ments in camp a Hot Springs last

ing the state encampment to Hot

Will Net Make Appointment.

Acting Governor X. o. Pindall
Thursday gave out the statement that
he might not appoint successor to
the late Senator Amis, who represent
ed Lincoln, Dallas and Cleveland
counties in the Arkansas Senate Gov
ernor Pindall stated that he under
stood there were two candidates,
Arthur Johnson and Cal Newton, both
OF Lincoln county, for the office OF
senator, and that, as Senator Amis'
term will expire soon. he likely would
not appoint a successor, but would
leave the office vacant until after the
primary, when one of the two candi-
dates will be elected to the office.
Governor Pindall made the statement
with the proviso that no special ses-
sion of the legislature be called. In
case a special session is called before
the primary it will be necessary for
him to appoint successor to Senator
Amis to fill the unexpired term.

OAN VIRGINIA MAKE HER OWN
SUGAR?

At the present time there Is consid II
able interest IN sUg.r beet culture in
Virgins, largely owing to the effOlts OF
the Norfolk and West, RI Railway, which
has employed a beet-sugsr exLtrs to in
struct farmers 10 the methods OF raising
this crop. We have just received from
the Virginia Agricultural Experiment
st. ton, Circular No. |, "5ugsr Beets
10 Virginis," by DR.. w. B. Elicit. TDis
circular gives the results of several year
work. The conclusion reached is that
sugar beets can not be grown probably,
except az a stock feed, in Tidewsttr and
the lower portions Of Piedmont VirginiS
but there is a possibility th t the Valley
and the southwest mny be able to rai'e
bees sufficiently rich in sugar to make
the industry profitable.
A cool and moist summer is needed IA
develop sugsr ia beets. OILY the west
ern part of the State, owing to lis slti-
tude, can supply these conditions. Al
Blacksburg, in Montgomery county, a
yield of thirteen tons per acre was Sc
cured, anslyz ng II per cent sugar II
will take two or Z rec seasons MRS Il
fully determine whethIr II is pr,cli'
cable t. Introduce this new industry.
If it Is demonstrated that beets OF SUI
fcient'y high tounsge per acre and
sugar coLtsnt can be grown, there is
fulthUr to be considered the big ques-
tiors OF labor and transport ton.
Fsr ners 10 western Virginia are urged
to plant not ever one -sighth scre OF beets
fer hial. These trial betti will not be
wasted, for they make an excellent stock
feed, especially for mich cows. The
rcular mentioned can be obtained free
by writing 10 the Agricultural Expert
