W. B. Blakemore, district mana
ger, in the Fulton Commercial, adj
vises farmers: Get your tobacco
IN good keeping condition as quick
rs you can and take it to the prize
houses of the association, and it will
not be long until it will be sold for
you at satisfactory prices" If there
is 8 present market for the tobacco,
why prize it at al, at an expense to the
farmer of $12 for prizing and samp
ling? The farmers do not want to
pack their tobacco for long storage
purposes while other organizations
are supplying an active demand for
their types of tobacco. Think of the
Stemming Districts record of selling
24,0O0,000 of its 100000 within
Bixty days, while Mr.. Ewing's assist
ants are advising association men,
hers to get their tobacco into good
keeping condition" Why keep
what can be sold now?

Word comes from Frankfort that
Attorney General James Breathitt
may be called upon to accept a Re-
publican nomination for circuit
Judge in the Third district, in the
event a Democratic candidate is
nominated by the faction of the par

believed that 1900 to 1000 Demo-

ANTI-JAP
 LEGISLATION. STATUS OF JAPANESE IN PA CIFIC COAST STATES. THEY ARE ENTERPRISING. This Fact Has Probably Caused Agitation for Legislation
 Against Them.

"HE agitation over the question
 of anti Japanese legislation in
 Pacific coast states has led to
 discussion us to just how large the volume of Japanese immigration is and what the subjects af the mikado who reside in the United states are do ing, how they are conducting them selves and what there Is Ill the claim that they exert an injurious effect upon American standards of labor and living President Roosevelt has said that the effect of the agreement reach ed by the general government with Japan has been to diminish already the number of Iapahese coming to this country. SD that eventually the number of those returning to their na tive land would exceed those coming here Varying statements have been made by members af the California legIslaturcA the discussion over the number of Japanese ION fn the Golden State as high as 13oeo others placing the figure as low as -. .eee

HORTICULTURISTS HOLD
 INTERESTING MEETING.
Next Meeting Will be Held on
Saturday, March l3.

The Horticultural Society meeting was well attended Satur day afternoon 10 hear the dis cuSsion on the San Jose scale. D. F. Richer read paper on this subject followed by general discussion. It Is very gratifying to see the increased interest i'll the Springdale Horticultural So- ciety and it's work. Every man engaged ln fruit growing i'll this vicinity ought to become a mem Der of this society because its work is purely and simply in the interest of the fruit grower. It is in close touch with the horti- cultural workers all over the United States, especially as re- gards the work of experiment stations. and anyone who has not time to keep posted on matters of this kind, can get whole lot of information by attending these meetings. If you can't get any thing new to you there, you are certainly in position to give the society the benefit of your exper- fences.
 At the next meeting, Saturday March lS, Dr. Bowden will give talk on Spraying for Curculio and Cooling Moth.' . Discussion by other members of the society. Inasmuch as the acreage crop of apples in neglected orchards in Arkansas run from 50 to % per cent wormy, 1t would seem as though this were subject of vital interest to all fruit growers. The meeting will be held at Squire Graves office.

 bers of corporations, and as the Jap anese generally carry on their business upon a corporation basis the effect of such law does not need to be fur ther explained. Not only do they re- sort to the corporation form of organ ization in their conduct of hotels, banks. stores and factories, but even small shops and laundries are usually incorporated, the company being made up perhaps of from ten to hundred stockholders Not only Is this true of the Japanese of San Francisco, but of those in the state at large, even ranches being owned and operated of ten on similar basis.
 One of the California bills so much discussed specified that aliens should not be permitted to acquire real prop erty in the state The effect of such an enactment would be felt chiefly by the Japanese, although they were not singled out specifically in the bill Thousands of acres of fruit and agri- dic ai HAtoNhS hSio " them. An Idea of their prosperity in this industry may be gleaned from the fact that one Japanese who arrived in San Francisco about four years ago and leased six acres of land has clear ed some S2,5oo from the strawberries he has raised In the period since his coming to this country.
 Rice growing is an industry which the Japanese have taken up with much profit In this country. In Texas several colonies of this sort have met with considerable success. The tend ency of the Japanese, like the Chinese, Is to live in colonies, and 1t Is claimed that their influence is deleterious to surrounding communities; hence the agitation for their segregation in spe- cial quarters In the large cities where some supervision over such matters as sanitation may be effectively exer- cised While tbey prefer to live to- gether, the Japanese do not like to be restricted as to their places of resi- dence, as thls touches their national pride. In the new San Francisco they have occupied some of the best blocks

SOME RECENT INCIDENTS.
UvYlRELEss telegraphy and the

" WIRELESS telegraphy and the ~ submarine signaling system,
 working in cooperation,
 saved many lives which were inPeriled by the collision be- tween the steamships Florida and Re public and the sinking of the latter vessel Since this incident, which ex- cited so much attention to the value of these new inventions, their value has again been demonstrated fin the case of the Old Dominion liner Hamilton, which eellided with car barge off Old Point Comfort. By calling for as sistance with her wireless apparatus she was able to summon to her rescue which lowed her, badly battered, but still ahoat, to her pier.
 Another case In point is that of the American liner St Louis, which broke her rudder out at sea and was able to advise her owners of the fact and be In the way of assistance if needed. Wireless telegraphy and submarine signaling, both inventions of the past few years. have robbed the sea of many of its terrors, for no longer Is Il ship powerless to summon help when disabled on the sea, even in midocean, and, if she can keep afoat a little while. from all quarters the rescuers are sure to come as, fast as their high speed machinery can urge them onward
 Much has been said about the won derful work done by the wireless sys tein Tn the rescue of the Republics pas sengers and crew through the courage and skill of the ships brave operator, Jack Binns, and his faithfulness in re- maining It his post regardless or his peril Not so much has been told about the work of the submarine signaling apparatus in bringing aid. This did not only all expected of It, but even more. The captain and navigators or the Baltic report that the Republic was using her sound signaling apparatus for communication under water at the time of the collision and continued us ing It until she was found by the Bal tie Wireless signals summoned help from very distant points, and the sub marine signals enabled the rescuers to locate exactly the distressed ship. By use of the submarine system the Re public was able to ascertain from the Nantucket lightship. which was equip

 The troubles over the Japanese on the Pacific coast are the continuation of a movement which began some thir- ty years ago, the object of which was to prevent the immigration In large numbers of Aslatic peoples to the western coast of the United States. At first the movement applied almost en- tirely to the Chinese and resulted in the passage of the Chinese exclusion act of 1881. At that time no other Asiatic races or peoples were dealt with for the reason that tsw others were then coming into ths ospptry.

 The submarine signaling system was invented about eight years ago through ideas worked out by the late Professor Elisha Gray and Mir Arthdr J. Mundy of Boston It depends on the well known fact that sound signals are transmitted under water with absolute accuracy and that under water sound Is not subject to the same obstacles as to transmission as are afforded h the open air by varying densities of the at mosphere, banks of fog or cloud. etc. The ship equipment consists of a bell for signaling and device for picking up the sound from the water and trans hitting It electrically to an observer on the bridge or in the pilothouse The bell Is now usually placed in tank inside of the ship to secure it's protection from accident. The compa- ny is developing a device by which 1t Is expected the sound may be carried longer distance. thus eAabling yes sels approaching each other in a fog to give ample warning of their proximity and also afford opportunity to maneu- yer and avoid each other.
 feature of the Republic rescue was the fact that the signals of the Repub- lie reached vessel 200 miles away, the French liner Lorraine. which came at once at the call of the distressed Although other ships were nearer and reached the Republic first and took of her passengers and crew, the Lorraine, despite her distance from the place where the Republic was at the time of the collision with the Florida, would have been on the scene early enough to have rescued the imperiled ocean travellers had no other help arrived and had she been able to locate exact " the sinking vessel.
 
 The first experiments at macadamiz- ed roads were made In Ayrshire, Scot land, by the inventor of the system. John Macadam, In 1916. In 1919 Mac adam published an essay explaining bis system, and In a short time roads after his Idea began to be built h Eng 1 land and the continent
