CHANCE FOR GARDENERS.
Ready Market In Sight for Loads OF
Good Garden Truck.

Good Garden Truck.
With the coming of 6,0O0hungry
railroad graders. fencers, telegraph
linemen, concrete workers, engineers
clerks, and all the rest of the men
who go to make up railroad-build-
ing force. there ought to bo a mar
ket for all the surplus garden stuff
that can be raised on the ttract this
year Sweet corn is a good crop;
peas and beans grow as IL they felt
right at home; parsnips. carrots and
other root crops probably never did
better even in the garden of Eden;
are worth while. There ought to
cabbages do finely. and tomatoes
be a lot of ready money in raising
these things this season. Potatoes,
of course are salable by the car
load; there will propably not be an
early potato left within so miles
and even then the market will not
be supplied. Such common things
as lettuce and radishes would be no
doubt salable, though the real de-
mand will doubtless be for the hcs-
vy-weight food stuffs that will build
bridges and railroads without the
frills

The Democrats took full posseSsl0n of the house and put Champ Clark of Missouri in the speakers chair. In his speech accepting the honor, Mr. Clark warned the Democrats that the eyes of the country were upon them; that the party was on trial and that it had an opportunity for the first time in 16 years to prove it's worthi- ness for a still higher expression of confidence on the part of the Amerl- can people.
 William J. Bryan of Nebraska and Governor Harmon of Ohio were prominent figures on the floor of the house during the opening ceremonies and both shared in the Democratic demonstrations that marked the day
 The senate's opening was sedate as usual. And while the leadership Of the upper branch of the new congress remains in Republican hands, the change in the personnel of those as suming command was almost as marked as in the house.
 Republican leaders of the senate have announced that there shall be no tariff legislation at the extra session. Tariff revision is included in plans of the Democrats. This difference of opinion promises soon to bring the two branches into sharp conflict A leg islative deadlock is freely predicted, and the length of the session seems now to depend upon how long the Democratic house will lombard the Republican senate with general leg islation bills From a political stand point it is likely that one of the most important things the Democratic house will do will be to order d thorough investigation of the various depart ments and branches of the govern ment service. The Democrats assert there has been no such investigation for twenty years, and that much good campaign materials as well as much savings to the people will result from them.
 Bills were introduced providing for changes in tariff, pensions, improve ments in the postal service, an income tax and many other matters. Several hundred public bills and more than 1000 private ones were presented during the three hours the house was in session

TO RAISE MORE
 CORN PER ACRE
AGRICULTURAL COMM SSiONER PHILLIPS GIVES ADVICE TO
 ARKANSAS FARMERS.
He Says Preparation of Seed Bed iG One of the Most Important
 Essentials.

Little Rock. - Commissioner Fred H. Phillips recently sent out the fifth number of the weekly letters he is now sending to the farmers Of the state. The fifth letter is entitled Let Is Produce More Corn Per Acre" and deals with methods of se- lecting seed, growing, etc. MT. Phil lips began preparing these letters for the press soon after being installed in his new office, and he thinks that by making them concise and by pub fishing them in all the papers they will reach a large majority of farmers and be the means of creating interest in improved farming methods. These letters relate to the crop as it pro ceeds, and the letter on corn is there fore sent out just now. when the farm
 CTS are making preparations for plant ing. The letter is as follows: Last year there were 2,8S4, 900
 acres planted to corn in Arkansas. The average yield was twenty-five bushels We can easily raise this av. craze to fifty bushels by proper
 seed selection and better methods of
 cultivation, Also by planting our
 corn on better land than we used for this purpose last year.
 Land that will only produce fifteen bushels of corn per acre should not
 be planted to corn. but should be planted to cowpeas, peanuts. soy beans or some other leguminous nitrogen bearing plant
 If you only have few acres Of good land that you can use for corn,
 plant this. and by giving it the proper attention make more than you would | on a larger acreage with slipshod
 methods of cultivation.
 Land that is to be planted to corn should be well filled with humus or
 decaying organic matter. If the land
 is deficient in plant food, use a good fertilizer containing the needed plant food
 But good land and fertilizer will
 rot result in any profit to use unless
 we have a we'll prepared seed bed and devote some attention to seed selec-
 ton and cultivation. We should more
 than half make our crop before we plant it. Harrow once thoroughly after planting and before the corn is up.
 The preparation of the seed bed Is one of the most important essentials n securing a profitable crop Special attention should also be
 5e given to seed selection. Our poor | yields are due in many instances to | poor seed more than any other one | thing If seed corn must be bought l we should insist on getting the seed in the ear. Then we will at least nave the advantage of knowing some | ching of the formation and character istics of the parent ear. We should never select seed from the crib in | aaphazard manner, and to successful | ly raise corn We will have to devote more attention to seed selection in | the field for the stalk and from the in | Gtvidual ear after field selection has | heen made for grain formation, etc | We should also test our seed corn | ter examination by planting a few | grains from each ear in a test box | numbering the ears to find those Of poor germinating qualities. Of course | before planting, all weak ears should
 3e discarded and only the strong ears
 hould be used
