LEAN YEAR FOR
 RAILROAD BUILDING
Rice Belt However Has Been Completed And Mountain
 May Connect Lines.
Snecial to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 16.-The present year is very lean one for railroad building, and with the exception of some rebuilding being done on the Iron Mountain mainline there is practically no- thing for the railroad contractor. The Rice Belt Railroad, which connects Stuttgart with the Rock Island at Mesa, is the lit tie cut-up of the few roads which have been constructed this year.
 The president of this short line has just visited Stuttgart from his home in Chicago, anc the announcement is made that four lots on the principal street of the town, in the very heart o1 
 the little rice city, have beer purchased and will be, used for g depot site. With this announce ment comes another that the railroad has purchased a right of way across the town, from
  it's present freight depot, to the new depot site. This is through the heart of the residence sec tion, and will cause a rebuilding of the town, and will make the Rice Belt very popular, as the Cotton Belt station is now some distance from the town. This railroad will by the first of November be running regulal passenger trains to Mesa, max ling direct connections with RocE Island trains from Little Rocl and Memphis. This will perml the citizens of Stuttgart t' reach Little Rock in less thai three hours after laying home a journey which now takes thu major portion of a day on ac count of poor railroad connec tions. Announcement has jus been made that the Iron Noun tain will complete the 50 mil' cutoff between Marianna ant Memphis, by January !, ant have it in operation very shortly after.

1. The evaporation of soil moisture
is checked. By disking in the early
spring a mulch is formed over the
entire area much more quickly than
the land could be plowed. In this
way the evaporation of great deal of
soil moisture is prevented. The
following table, which was exhibited
on the demonstration train run last
June by the .. R. & N. Co., and the
Washington State College, shows the
rapidity with which soil moisture
may be lost in the early spring by
evaporation. This table shows. that
in one week nearly one-fifth of the
total moisture in the first three feet
of plat b was lost.
2. The surface soil is cleaned.
Most weed seed terminate best il not
covered very deeply. When lying on
the surface of the ground, the pillow
cover weed seed so deeply that they
do no terminate until brought near
the surface by subsequent blowing.
Early disking before blowing covers
the seed lightly and gives them a
chance to terminate before blowing
is done. When the land is plowed a
crop of weeds is then destroyed. In
this the surface way practically all of
the weed seed of the previous years
crop may be terminated before the
land is plowed. Comparatively clean
soil will then be turned into the
bottom of the furrow.
3. Disking before blowing aids in
decaying and turning under the stub

in turning under heavy stubble when

BILE is frequently burned and the soil
robbed of what little vegetable matter
could be turned under Disking in
the early spring before blowing breaks

surface soil, and gets at into much
better condition to be turned under

Disking Summer FaI|0W Land in Early
Spring a Valuable Practice.

In the summer of 1906 the writer
made thorough study of the methods
of tillage which we're then practiced
by the most successful farmers in the
various localities of the wheat belt of
the Inland Empire. This study was
undertaken in order to get together
the Efficient tillage methods which
have been developed by our farmers
in the school of experience. The
information learned from this study
was classified and published by the
United States Department of Agri
culture as Farmers Bulletin No. 294
"Farm, Practice in the Columbia
Basin Uplands.
At the time this study was made the
practice of disking the land to be
summer falIowed in the early spring
before it was plowed was just coming
into use in several widely separated
localities. While the publication and
distribution of this bulletin has
popularized this practice and wonder
fully increased the area disked before
blowing, the advantages OF this
method of summer following are not
as universally understood and ap-
preciated as they should be.
The winter rains pack and puddle
the surface soil in the wheat belt of
the Inland Empire until the ground
is usually pretty hard by the time
spring opens Evaporation always
takes place far more rapidly from a
firm, solid soil than from one that is
loose and porous. Since one of the
principal objects in summer following
is the conservation of soil moisture
so that the following crop may have
the benefit of the greatest possible
amount of the precipitation of two
winters, it is highly important that
the surface soil be loosened up and
mulched just as early in the spring
as the ground is in good working con-
dition. 1t is believed that this is
accomplished best by the use of the
disc harrow.
Some of the advantages of disking

PER CT. OF WATER IN THE FIRST FIT

without disking the stubble frequent
ly forms layer in the bottom of the
furrow which prevents the soil from
settling and packing properly. This
also causes the soil turned by the
pillow to dry out quickly. By having
the disc harrow sharpened occasional
ly and weighing it down it can be
made to do effective work in heavy
stubble.
4. Disking lengthens the blowing
season. Over much of the wheat belt
of eastern Oregon and eastern Wash
ington the soil usually remains in
g God blowing condition for only
short time. about three weeks, unless
the surface is mulched before plow-
ing. When blowing is the first opera
ton and the work is done late in the
season, the pillow runs heavy, the soil
breaks up in hard chunks, and much
soil moisture is lost. Disking retains
sufficient moisture, if it is we'll done,
to permit the blowing to be done any
time before harvest. This permits
the farmer to keep his horses busy
during greater portion of the season.
When the land has been well disked
the pillow runs easier and the soil
turns up mellow and freer of clods.

Five or six years ago the
high cost of grain feeds
together with the advent
of the condensed milk fac
tories, practically drove
the breeding of swine and
the raising of pork from
all that portion of Wash

mountains. With the high
price of pork such as has
prevailed for the past three
years, stock hogs and pure
bred breeding are again in
great demand with a very
scant source of supply.

100 inquiries for stock hogs

Consolidation of Big Mining
Properties Makes No
Material Change

Operations at the Calumet and Ari-
zona-Superior and Pittsburg properties.
following the consolidation, continue
with the usual tonnage of about 1900
tons daily, shipped to the smeltery at
Douglas from the Hoadson, Irish, Mag
dalena. Oliver and Junction shafts.
The first two named produce oxide
ores. The Oliver produces both oxides
and sulphides, and the Junction mine,
which is being worked at the greatest
depth of any mine in the Warren dis
frict Of Arizona, produces heavy sui
phides.
As yet construction at the Douglas
reduction works has been limited to
grading and filling near the old smell
terry site. The plans call for the in
stalation of blast furnaces, reverbera-
tories, roasters and a bedding plant,
similar to that at Cananea
About all that will remain of the
old works will be the engines in the
power plant. These changes will take
about a year to complete, and will in
volve the expenditure of about s1.OOO.-
600 or s1.250,o00. The stack at the
smeltery will reach height of 300
feet.
AT the present time the lack of ade-
quate storage facilities for the ores,
and for the proper mixing of them,
has been a great disadvantage It has
made 1t necessary to rush the mines to
carry over the Sunday lay off in force
at these properties and to keep the
oxide and sulphide ores separated in
shipping.
