 Little Rock, March 17.-After ! day of lstlessness in both Houses, with the Senate adjourn ing at noon until Monday, the House woke up at 4 o'clock wher Rep5 sentative Mclaughlin oi Garland county called up Sena- tor Williams bill providing for the addition of the State Audi tor and the State Treasurer to the State Board of Election Com missioners.
 "This bill could have originat- ed nowhere except in Garla county, declared Representa-. tvie Kerwin of Jefferson, the home of the rottenest politics tha ever disgraced the state. It has been fathered by a bunch of dis gruntled democrats who failed to get everything they wanted from the present board.
 Mir. Mclaughlin was on his feet instantly, and shouted through the hub-bub, Twill the gentleman from Jefferson tell me how many indictments have been returned in his own county for crooked politics?'' l
 The vigorous use of the Speak er's gavel brought peace between the verbal combatants, and MT. Kerwin concluded his speech urg ing the adoption of his motion to indefinitely postpone the bill.
 MT. Hurst then made a motion that the bill be placed back or second reading for purpose oi amendment, that he might ado all state officers to the Board which now consists of the govern or, Attorney General and Secre tary of State. The House ad joumed while he was still on the floor. <,

To Leave Issue to Keel.

Little Rock, March 17.-There was considerable discussion of tn. game bill by Representative Go- ing, considered in the Senate this morning. The bill provides that all kinds of game may be killed in Poinsett county, and shipped from there to other states.
 Senator CarlLee opposed the bill, on the ground that people would kill game in all the conn- ties that joined Poinsett, and ship it from there, and that it would to that extent repeal the game law of the state. It was announced that the bill affected the district represented by MT. Keel, and he wanted to be heard before it was disposed of. The motion of MT. CarlLee was to postpone the bill indefinitely, and Senator Covington thought It would hardly be courtesy to Sen ator Keel, who is sick at the 1n firmary, to take such action, and he favored the substitute that the bill be made special order for next Tuesday morning, and ms motion prevailed. The motion to postpone until Tuesday was made by Senator McBee, and ne fav- ored the bill, if the gentleman from Jackson wanted it, because he considreed it of purely local nature.

Arkansas Can Raise It All.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March Ii 7.-s Souti Arkansas can raise 1nything l saw growing along the coast of Texas, where the land costs $500 an acre and then has to be irri- gated, states President George A. Cole, of the Arkansas Far mers' Union who has returned from a tour of Texas in company with President B. F. Yoakum Of the Frisco. 0
 They raise crop of cabbage there, which is now being har- vested, and follow it with cotton and sugar cane. South Arkan- sas will do this, without irriga- tion, and make a return greater on the investment than will the high priced Texas land.
 We had a number of meet ings with farmers and IL learned much of their methods, especially that which applies to the raising of cotton and the fight with the boil weevil, but so far as l am concerned, l would not trade Ar kansas for the whole state of Texas, with the turbulent Mexico thrown in for good measure. :

PRODUCE MORE
 CORN 10 ACRE
Seed Selection, Fertilizer And Careful Cultivation Urged
 by Expert.

Last year there were e,ss4, ,0OC acres planted to corn in Arkansaa The average yield was twenty -four bushels, We can easily Iaise this average to fifty bush lels by proper seed selection and butter methods of cultivation. Al Iso by planting our corn on bet ter land than we used for this purpose last year.
 Land that will only produce fiji teen bushels of corn. per acre should not be planted to corn, but should be planted in cow peas, peanuts, soy-beans or some other leguminous, nitrogen-bear- ing plant.
 If you only have a few acres of good land that can be used for corn, plant this and by giving it the proper attention make more than you would cn a larger acre age with slip-shod methods of cultivation. i;sa
 .s% 2a &y.19 = sAf EhA
 Land that is to be planted to corn should be we'll filled with humus or decaying organic mat ter. If the land is deficient in plant food, use a little fertilizer containing the needed plant food. IA 3-6-3 fertilizer is usually best suited for corn in this state.
 But good land and fertilizer will not result in any profit to us unless we have a we'll prepar- ed seed bed, and devote some at tention to seed selection and cul- tivation. We should more than half make our corn crop before we plant it. Harrow once thor oughly after planting and before the corn is up.
 The preparation of the seed bed is one of the most important essentials in securing 3 profitable corn crop.
 Special attention should also be given to seed selection. Our poo yields are due in many instances 1 to poor seed more than any other 1 one thing. If seed corn must pc bought, we should insist on get, ltlng the seed in the ear. Then we at least will have the advan tage of knowing something of tn formation and characteristics o1 the parent ear. We should nev CT select seed from the crib m 2 hap-hazard manner, and to sue cessfully raise corn we will nave to devote more attention to seec lselection i'm the field for ths stalk, and from the individua ear after field selection has beer made, for grain formation, etc We should also test our seed corr for germination by planting 2 few grains from each ear m testrbox, numbering the ears tt find those of poor germnatlnt quality as well as those wh'cl |show a strong germination. o' course, before planting, all weai ears should be discarded and on lv the strong ears should be used

Nothing Doing but Talk.

The following is told of a federal
official, formerly senator of the
United States from Kentucky
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to sec
ond him in duel. He consented, and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now 1t was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But, although he
faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.
A murmur of why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story is
told, whereupon the answer is as fol.
lows:
For a very simple reason When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for a duel."-Chicago Journal.
