New Method of Keeping Potatoes.

New Method of Keeping Potatoes.
A German publication, the Practical
Adviser in Fruit Raising and Garden
ing, states that new method for keep
ing potatoes and preventing sprouting
consists in placing them on layer of
coke. DR.. Schiller, of Brunswick, who
has published the method, is Of the
opinion that the improved ventilation
by means Of coke Is not alone RESPONSE
bic for the result, but believes that it
Is due to the oxidation Of the coke,
which, however, is very slow one.
Coke always contains sulphur, and 1t
is very possible that the minute guam
titles of oxides Of carbon and sulphur,
which result from the oxidation, mix
ing with the air and penetrating among
the potatoes are sufficient to greatly
retard sprouting. Potatoes so treated
are said to keep in good condition until
the following July.

EARLY Flowing.

The value of early blowing as a
means Of destroying weeds, especially
rag weed, wild oats, artichokes, ETC., is
not appreciated fully by farmers. Sim
liar weeds grow in most discouraging
manner, especially on low, moist land
during the summer, and in many In
stances take possession Of the fields.
They will appear on the scene next
year, in multiplied numbers, if, an eff
fort is not made to destroy them this
summer, which can best be done by
early blowing.
The pillow should be started in these
weedy patches just as soon as the fields
are cleared. Rag weeds are rank
growing soil robbers which should not
be permitted to ripen seed on any
farm. but are now seen in corn fields,
pastures and small grains in many sec
lions. They are special pest on some
farms where careless methods Of han
ding the soil have been employed. If
such fields are plowed as early as pos
sible the plants will be prevented from
going to seed. Klngheads are now in
possession of some very productive
fields, and we believe this is due to
spring blowing or no blowing, as such
fields are often disked instead of
plOwed.

COOPERS GIVEN
 TWENTY YEARS
Jury Returns a Verdict of Murder in the Second Degree and Assesses
 Punishment.

Nashville, Tenn, March 2O.-. The jury in the Cooper-Carmack murder trial rendered. a verdict today Of murder in the second degree against Duncan B. Coop CT and ,his son Robin Cooper and assessed the punishment of each at twenty years in the peniten- tiary
 John Sharp who had been in- dicted jointly with the Coopers for the Carmack murder was ac- quilted yesterday.
 Attorneys for the Coopers have filed a motion for a new trial which will probably be argued before Judge Hart on Monday
 After the jurors had been dis charged today one of them sait: "On the first ballot we acquitted John Sharp for guilty of murder and on the same ballot we stood six for guilty of murder in the first degree, five for murder in second degree and one for acquit- tai. This vote stood until yester- day when the man who voted for acquittal came over to the murder in the second degree side but demanded that they only be given ten years to this we all did not agree, finally early this morning we settled Dn the verdict" While the juror would not tell who the man was who voted for acquittal, one of the deputies who overheard some thing says his name was $. J.. Hyde.
 Mrs. Sharp was in the court room when the judge read the verdict and comforted the two daughters of Col. Cooper.

He has been at his desk night and day and in the conference of the court. has taken a leading part.
 Local attorneys compliment highly the new Chief and Assoc late Justice upon their showing and this showing taken into con slderation. it is hardly probable any attorney of prominence in the state would risk certain de- feat by announcing in opposition tC them for the uncompleted term at least.

NO TURF GAMBLING

Hot Springs, March 22.-Whe- ther or not the proposed repeal or the Amis anti-turf gambling law, which the general assembly mas already turned down during the present session is accomplish ed the Arkansas State Fair will be held as usual at Oaklawn race track ground here this fall.
 The race track is still owned by the turf magnates, Condon and Stuart and has never been transferred to the Arkansas State Fair association as some think. An argument in favor of the passage of the Bouic-W hit tington bill Ito repeal the Amis law, was that should the racing measure fail to pass, the race track owners would in future re- fuse the use of their half million dollar pant to the fair associa- tion;
 The announcement, however that the state fair will be he'd this year and that it will last ten days instead of six, as previous ly shows that the Oaklawn track is still at the disposal of the fair people but that a greater and more profitable state fair is be- ing provided for without the probability that the gambling feature will accompany the eX- hibition and racing of fine horses

THE LEGISLATURE

Little Rock March 22.- From the present rate local bills are being introduced in House and senate the acts of 1909 will e. clipse in size an unabridged dsc- tionary. Over $50 bills have been introduced in the house and, near ly 300 in the senate. Then there are hundreds yet to comel
 This is not worrying the legis lators in the least for they keep right on at a merry pace, bring ing in new bills and then more new bills The bill to work out a financial salvation for the state is also expected during the week and once the ice is broken a generous crop is expected, sim liar to the one of State Capitol and statewide prohibition b.l!s There are now so many prohibit tion bills in the House near.y ev cry county, could have one to support. This prohibition problem will be the main thing ill the
 
 bill as amended will be up again tomorrow but the State Capitol matter will demand a division of the time as it is also Ia special order of business for the House tomorrow. Of all the liquor bills the Gam bill amended for sub mission, has the following. It will probably be passed. The Little bill to make Mississippi and Crit tenden dry by Legislation
 will be an after consideration and a number of other counties will make efforts to be included in it's provisions.
 There iS a report a new ad- ministration State Capitol bill to replace the Patterson bill pass ed by the senate will Joe submit ted, making an additional ap- propriation for a stone dome. Should this not be done, the Pat bterson bill which calls for the discharge of contractors, archi- tects and commissioners, will un doubted pass ,as the House has always been friendly to Govern or Donaghey and, his attitude on the state capitol question. The report of the engineers who in- spected the walls and part of the floors, until stopped by in- junction at the New State Cap itol is expected from Washington today, and it will be read before the house this afternoon or to- morrow. Gov. Donaghey says he has no fears for what the report will show, for if it is based upon the tests made, it can but sub stantiate his claims as to the construction of those parts of the building.
 The Hot Springs racing bill is expected to come up again, in slightly amended form in the senate before the end of the week

But the cotton grower having all

But the cotton grower, having all
his eggs in the one basket, is faced
with serious problem when cotton
is low. He grows. it at a far larger
cost than he would if he farmed right
and developed the productive capaci-
ty Of his soil through a proper rota-
ton of crops, for in nine cases out Of
ten he grows it on credit basis, and
pays a big percentage for the credit
If he farmed we'll he would not be
obliged to borrow money or go in
debt for fertilizers and everything else
on the basis of only one crop; but
would have other things to sell to
bring in money at different seasons
of the year. Thus he could reduce
the cost of growing the cotton crop,
so that he would have some profit at
q price the all-cotton man would lose
money at.
What we need to learn Is not so
much the simple reduction Of the
acreage. as the growing in a sysem
attic way Of series Of crops planned
so that the production of cotton per
acre will be greatly increased. while
fewer acres are planted. Simply plant
ing smaller portion of the land to
cotton in fhe same old way, even If
it could be accomplished. would be
but temporary relief. The pros
perity of the cotton country will not
be assured until there Is no corn sent
here from the west, no hay hauled
into the South, no bacon shipped to
the cotton farms. no, northern oats
sold in southern cities.
Right now. at this beginning Of
new year and new crop season as
the time to begin farming in ration
al manner. to lay out a practical plan
of work. to fix our ideals higher than
the mere making Of a crop big enough
to put us even with the world in the
fall. We can make farming profit
able IL we will. We can-not all in one
year, Of course, but In fewer years
than we might think-make the
South a land of fertile and fruitful
fields. of well-filled barns and beau
tiful homes, of attractive school
houses and good roads, Of hopeful,
prosperous, self-reliant farmers
Let us all go to work at the be-
ginning Of 1909 to do all this and
60 win our fair share Of the comforts
and blessings of life.

another farmer sells at As cts, and

with cotton the difference is rarely a
