SAWDUST AS FOOD:
BOOSTS TIMBER FIELD

LONDON. July 23.-Lord Darlington.
president of the board of agriculture.
was asked in the house of lords yes
terday why he had not prosecuted in a
Devon case of cattle food found to
contain 40, per cent of sawdust.
Lord Fortescue thought it opened a
new prospect for owners of timber.
He replied that it consisted Of a mix
ture of molasses and some absorbent
material which was undoubtedly de-
rived from wood Sawdust-but had
undergone some chemical treatment
which made il more or less digestible.
His board was still investigating the
case. He was informed that the saw
dust so treated was not absolutely
worthless as food

Drown it,
Most Of those that inquired knew the
bird and believed that Hagerdon was
joking. He went down TO the boat
landing and kneeHng down put cage
and bird into the water, and, TO make
sure they would stay down, showed the
cage as far as he could reach under
the float before he let go.
When the men on the bulkhead saw
that Hagerdon was in earnest they run
TO take the bird from him, but they
were too late. and their efforts to fish
Up the cage were in vain.

'5,'726 MILES OF RAILROAD
TRACKS IN THIS STATE

(By United Press Leased Wire.
OLYMPIA, Oct. 17.-Figures
compiled by the state tax commits
sion shaw that there are 5,725.845
miles of railroad in Washington at
the present time and that the Nor

as much as any other road. Its
total mileage, including tracks of

has but 1,145.414 miles. The
Northern Pacific has more main

the single exception of the Great

Next to the Hill roads comes the

STUTTGART, Ark, Oct. IL
Late this month Arkansas rice
growers will begin to market their
crop-a crop expected to net them
upwards of $5,000,0O0.
And the industry is yet in it's
infancy.
The six-year history of rice
growing in eastern Arkansas is an
agricultural romance which sounds
almost unbelievable.
Six years ago not an acre of rice
was raised in Arkansas.
One farmer experimental with
20 acres of rice in 1905, pumping
water on the land from an artesian
well. From this small beginning
rice growing has spread until this
year there are 10000 acres in cul-
tivation.
Next year it is predicted the
acreage will be doubled, perhaps
tripled.
Arkansas farmers are as wild
about the wonderful profits of rice
growing as the 'forty-niners" who
swarmed into California were
about gold.
Ordinary farming has been al
most abandoned and every farmer
who can raise the price to drill 6
well and buy pump and gasoline
engine is raising rice. Prairie lane
which sold from Sc to $40 an acre
10 years ago in many sections can
not be bought today for 500 al
acre. Land spectators are reap
ing rich harvest.
Many a farmer who was lant
poor few years ago with severa
hundred acres of blistered prairie
finds himself today a rich man
because his land will raise more
rice per acre than any other Sec
tion of the world.
