BOYS CORN CLUB
 CALLED 10 MEET IN CONWAY SATURDAY COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS AND PRESIDENT COLE EXPECT
 ED TO ATTEND.

County President John Phillips of the Farmers Union, while in Little Rock recently, made arrangements to hold meeting for the purpose of re- organizing the boys corn club in this county. He secured the promises of Commissioner of Agriculture Fred II. Phillips and President George A. Coie of the state Farmers Union to attend the meetings, which will be held in two sessions in the courthouse in Con- way Saturday, March 25, at 10 d. m. and at ? p. m. Capt. w. w. Martin will also probably attend the meeting, if he is able to leave the legislature on that day.
 Mr. Phillips requests that every boy in the county either be present or send his name for membership in the club. There are no fees connected with membership and the producer of the corn is not required to donate any of it to any person. He also requests that every boy in the club last year bring a few sample ears of the corn raised by him.
 As soon as the club is organized a committee will make canvass to sc cure prizes for the best boy corn growers in the county. It is thought that not so many prizes will be offer ed this year, but those offered will 5o more valuable and a greater stimulus to the boys to excel in the various points of superiority in corn growing.

CALDWELL L-DRAKE
 CASE UP MONDAY

Little Rock, March 21.-By the middle of April the supreme court will probably render an opinion in the suit of John R. lobe, auditor, vs. Cald- we'll x Drake. The court will hear the oral arguments in this case next Monday. The court will then deliver it's opinion within two weeks, and the first wedge in the suit of Caldwell & Drake will be settled Should the state win in the suit the contractors will probably carry the case to the su- preme court of the United States. This suit is for about $50, ,000, the value of vouchers which the old state capitol commission had issued to the contractors for work done. When At torney General Kirby issued his opin- ion that the legislature had failed to appropriate for the work on the state capitol, these vouchers had been ap- proved, but the auditor declined to honor them. Caldwell & Drake did not file suit until several months ago, and won the first fall in the circuit court, where the case was decided as one not against the case and must be tried on it's merits. It is the conten- ton of the attorneys for the state that this is suit against teh state.

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

The corn crop of the nine southern states in 1910 exceeded that of 1909 by more than 158,000,000 bushels and these nine states produced 45 per cent of the entire corn increase over 1909, in the whole United States.
 But few men in the south will now say that we cannot grow corn, and grow it profitably. One hundred boys of the corn clubs in 1910 made more than 130 bushels per acre, or the 100 acres that they cultivated yielded more than 13,000 bushels.
 Our surest crop of corn is the early crop. By planting good land early corn escapes the drouth that cuts short later planting.
 Be sure to prepare land well. Foi corn, use your good soil, as cotton will give you better result than corn on poor land; select choice, well-bred seed for planting. Have you ever fig urged how many stalks you should have to acre 210 feet square? If not, do this, and then figure how much corn you will make if each stalk gave you two ears. The result will sur prise you. Why not get this yield?- Commercial Appeal.

ANOTHER EXTENSION
 OF SESSION HUNDRED

Little Rock, March 21.-Already there is talk of the present session of the legislature being again extended when the date fixed for adjournment, May 13, rolls around. Those who are spreading this report say the inten- tion is to extend for only ten days. The leaders of the house do not coun- tenance the rumor, and state the leg islature will hardly remain in session when the date set for adjournment has been reached, as the important legislation will all be disposed of by that time.
