CONGRESS- IN
SESSION AGAIN
First Regular Meeting Of the
SiXB-FirSt.
OPENING SESSION WAS BRIEF

After Appointing Joint Committee to
Await Upon the President, Both
Houses Adjourned Out of Respect to
Deceased Members-All Signs Point
to Turbulent Times Ahead.
Smyrna times., 1909-12-08

resentatives and Vice President Sher-
man fell on the rostrums. There was
large attendance in each chamber.
and the galleries were filed with spec
tators. many of whom were foreign
diplomats and attaches of their offices.
The first days session was brief in
both chambers. After the usual open
ing programs a joint committee was
appointed in the house and senate to
wait upon the president and inform
him officially that the lawmakers are
in session and would be pleased to
receive any communication from him.
Both houses then adjourned until
Tuesday out of respect to the men,
ory of colleagues deceased since the
close of the extraordinary session last
summer.
While it is said the leaders have
decided upon no definite plans for
legislation, this session of congress
may prove one of the most turbulent
and notable of recent times. With the
customs house scandal, the Nicaraguan
situation, the Balilnger-Pinchot con-
before it, the Sixty-frst congress
should make history. The fight be-
tween the regulars in the Republican
party and the progressives will en-
iiven things before the session closes.
Owing to the presidents frank dis
cussion of his policies during his re-
cent tour, the questions to be consid-
cred by the session are fairly clear and
well defined even before the reading
Of the message. No little sensation was
caused here a few days ago by the in
timation from Speaker Common that he
would support the presidents program
On this point the insurgents are frank
" skeptical If the intimation is car
ried out. however, they announce thai
It will be an insurgent victory ant
will receive their hearty support. Blu
while the speaker promises that h'
will stand by Taft, he says with man!
furid adjectives that he is on the war
path for the insurgents.

Remarkable Corn Yield

planted in furroW and harrow drag
ged cross wise to cover; narrowed
each way with Dulyerizing harrow
until knee high; then plowed deep
with % inch sweep~and finished with
same.
At last plowing Mr.. Johnson sowed
sofa beans and narrowed them in.
This he considers far ahead Of the
common pea. 1t is said to be a good
land improver, it makes three times
the forage, and al stock are fond of
them.
Mr.. Johnson does not know the
variety Of the corn. He purchased
buShel from q man who advertised
in The Progressive Farmer, stating
that he had made 1O3 bushels to the
acre, and he finds the corn as good
as represented. He will be glad to
show any one who will visit his place
over his farm and give them any in
formation they may desire about how
he made this yield.
Mr.. Johnson has been experimenting
on corn for several years. He says
that anybody can raise cotton, but that
one has to go to corn just at the right
time to obtain results. He has used
this year l ton of guano, tons of
acid and 1 ton Of kafnit and he thinks
he will average bale of cotton to
the acre on 16 acres, besides his peas,
SOFA beans, etc.

One Way Of Canning Tomatoes.

/ hear SO many people complaining
Of tomatoes bursting up and spelling
that [ want to pass on the method
that was given me by a neighbOr WOh
is always successful with her canning.
Do not can the tomatoes too early
nor wait until the frost touches them
There is a time between these eX-
tremes when the tomatoes are at their
best but the time varies according to
the kind Of season they have to grow
in. Select round, firm tomatoes, scald
the skins off, cut in quarters and cook
in a granite pan until thoroughly done
but not cooked up too soft.
Fill the cans as full as possible.
and just before sealing drop in half q
teaspoonful of lard or paraffin. The
lard or paraffin spreads quickly over
the hot surface and when cool forms
thin coat. I do not know why this
proves so beneficial, but ] do know
that every can I have fixed in this way
has kept perfectly
I have another friend who cans to-
matoes in glass cans successfully by
putting teaspOonful OF salt and one
OF black pepper on top of the tomatoes
before sealing She says this will al
ways prevent souring.-AIrs- 4.
