which are liable to attack his crops
if grown upon the same land year
after year, and as truck crops remove
varying amounts of plant food from
the soil, just as do staple crops, the
balance of the different elements is
very easily maintained.
You will probably understand better
if I explain that one crop will remove
more potash than another, while the
other will remove more nitrogen, and
still another will take out more phos-
phOric acid, and if any one crop is
grown continuously upon the same
piece OF land, that land becomes ex-
hausted of the particular element Of
which that plant requires most, and
it gets into such condition that it will
not grow maximum crops of that one;
but if it is grown in rotation with
crops which require more of the 9TH
or two. then the elements of plant
food remain upon a more even bal
ance, and each crop does better in its
turn than if grown continuously on
The same land.
Taking into consideration the re-
markedly small amount of plant food
removed from the soil by fruit and
vegetables as compared to the total
weight of the crop, makes a dohni-
ton hat I once heard given of a
trucker, seem very fitting; the defni-
ton was that he was "a man who put
up water for sale in fancy packages
Another advantage is that less land
being required upon which to operate,
means more homes, and more homes
means more churches. more schools
and more Of that coming in contact
with each other in a social way, that
constitutes for the average man and
woman one of the CHIEF charms OF
life, and without which the Joy OF
living would be greatly lessened for
the country dweller.
so much hand labor being neces
sary in truck growing, it offers much
better opportunities for all the people
of the community to get employment
even very small children can do q
good deal of work, such as picking
berries, transplanting tomatoes, tying
and helping to gather them; and, il
addition, the greatly increased ton
mage produced per acre, which the R
R. have to carry away, furnishes worl
for many extra men.
One other advantage to which
wish to call your attention, is the op
portunity offered trucking districts O
building up at the expense of othe
and usually distant places.
Now you understand as we'll as
do, that it is the money brought il
from the sale of stuff that is exporte,

Plant Food Drain.

Just here 1 want to discuss briefly,
the relative amounts of plant food
removed from the soil by a crop of
corn and a crop of tomatoes, as this
has a direct hearing on the problem
Of keeping up the fertility of the land.
A crop of corn producing 80 bushels
per acre, will remove from the soil 81
lbs. of nitrogen, 1876 lbs. of phos-
phoric acid and 11.2 lbs. of potash
and will have of its total weight 11.SS
per cent. of water, while a crop of
tomatoes of $4,000 lbs. or 300 bushels
will remove only 2S.S lbs. of nitrogen,
. lbs. of phosphoric acid and 4S.6 lbs.
of potash and contain 93.G4 per cent.
water At present valuation of these
plant foods the corn takes from the
soil $11.74 worth, while the tomatoes
only take away $S.64 worth, and this
in spite of the fact that the tomatoes
remove more pounds Of plant food
than does the corn, but it is of the
cheaper phosphoric acd and potash,
while the corn takes away the more
costly nitrogen to nearly twice the
amount that the tomatoes do.
Now fortunately for the truck grow
er, in addition to the fact that his
crops as a rule remove less nitrogen
from the land than staple crops, he
hsa the further advantage Of being able
to follow his vegetable crop with
some leguminous one, such as cow
peas or soy beans, that will gather
nitrogen from the air and at the same
time the stubble Of the truck crop
leaves. vines, etc, in connection with
the stubble of the peas or beans will
be constantly adding humus or organ.
ic matter to his soil.
In view of the necessity for the
| free, even lavish use of commercial
fertilizers or barnyard manures
which every trucker must make if he
expects to grow profitable crops, and
the further fact that no vegetable
crop ever uses up all of the PLAN
food placed there for their use, but
leaves a considerable residue for the
use of the legumes, and this in turr
produces luxuriant crops of them, vol
can readily see what a great advan
tage the trucker possesses over the
general farmer in the matter of keep
ing up his lands.
A Crop Rotation.
The trucker is also compelled t.
practice a systematic rotation, if h,
! would avoid the different disease

ed. This being true, it behooves ev-
cry man to carefully consider every
matter tending toward an increase of
the crob above cost of growing.
Now as to the disadvantages; chief
among them in my section is the
scarcity of labor, and so much hand
work being required. Every man
should have his labor arranged for in
advance. Truck crops grown with the
expectation Of profitable returns will
not admit of the neglect that ordinary
farm crops will and a difference of
two or three days in the planting Of
the seed, putting them out in the
field or in cultivation of the crop.
frequently means the difference be-
tween large profit and actual loss.
and unless a man intends to give
them attention just when they need
it, he had better stick to general
crops and let truck growing alone.
Eternal vigilance and unceasing in
dustry are the prices of success in
this business. Another disadvantage
about the crop is that it must be
gathered just when it is ready-a
days delay means loss with almost
any truck crop, but more especially
with tomatoes, strawberries. canta-
loupes and other crops of that nature.

Truck growing, like farming, is not
science, but an art, so l shall not
attempt to lay down any hard and fast
rules for men to follow in case they
see fit to engage in growing vegeta-
bles for market. No +wo growers will
agree upon all of the details of the
growth of plants in the beds or their
cultivation in the field, neither will
any two pieces of land make the same
response to the growers efforts,

Special to the PICAYuNE.
 STAMPS, Ark, Jan. 10. -Sut- ton High School played basket ball against Stamps Y. M. c. A. last Saturday night, P to 8, in favor of Stamps. Sutton High babys lined up against the Y. NJ. C. A. league with determina- tion to beat. The first five min utes Stamps led out. but Little Galloway pulled off a stunt and that seemed to put new life in the team. Sutton'High being one point ahead on the 18th minute, the game got so interesting the time keepers failed to call time on the 20th minute. Played seven minutes oyer time. Sutten High winded and Stamps came out four points ahead. The second half both teams seemed to be uneasy. Sutton Highs fast work kept Stamps from scoring until about the llth minute, but the last nine minutes they failed to.break into their powerful team work. Y. M. c. A. acknowledges that Sut- ton has the fastest team they have played this,season. We con. graduate Sutton High School for their team. When they get the age on them they will be the champions of the state.

LIQUOR LEGISLATION
 NEEDED.

The Miller Curtis bill now be- fore congress reads as follows.
 A bill to constitute intoxlcat- ing liquors as a special class of commodities and to regulate the interstate commerce shipment of such liquors.
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, that all fermented, distilled, orother in- toxicating liquor shall constitute, special class of of commodities, and, as a special class, shall be admitted to and carried in inter- state commerce, subject to the limitations and restrictions here in after imposed bupon interstate commerce in articles of such 
 special class.
 Sec. 2. That the interstate commerce character of all fer mented, distilled, or other intoxi- eating liquors admitted to inter- state commerce in accordance with the provision of this act, and transported sfrom one state. territory, or district of the United States, or from any foreign country into any state. territory or district of the United States shall terminate upon their arrival immediately withhl the boundary of the state, territory, or district of the United States, in which the place of destination is situa- ted, and before the delivery of said liquors to the conslgnee; Provided, That shipments of such liquors entirely through a state, territory or district sof the United States, shall not be sub- feet to the provisions of this sec tion while i'll transit through such state, territory, or district of the United States.
 Why should this bill not pass? By what logic will a democrat oppose it? If the state can be safely entrusted with legislation regulating marriage and divorce, prescribing rules for the decent of property and even authorizing the execution of the convicted of crime, why deny to it the right to regulate the transport ation of liquor within it's bord- CTS? Or is the liquor business too sacred q to be controlled by the state? But watch and see how quickly some of the ardent ad- vocates of states rights will be- come nationalists when the liquor trust issues it's com mand. -Commoner

IN MEMORY

Of Ruth Mum, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. w. N. Mum. Died Dec. 23rd 1910. Had she lived until Jannary she would have been nine yeara old. Ruth was sick only four days with pneumonia and congestion. All was done for her that love ones could do, but we could not keep her. She was to good and pure for this simple world. A place is vacant in their home that can never be filled. She will be missed oh! so much but twas right for her to go or it would not have been so, and we will havet to be submissive. She leaves a Father, Mother, one Brother, two sisters ,and many relatives and friends. Ruth was always good, none knew her but to love her. She was very thoughtful and always had a smile and kind word for every one. She was especially kind to her grand parents, and they too will miss her very much.
 Ruth has gone to join her little sisters in that sweet nome, where partings are unknown. It seemed that summer faded,
 And the chilly blast,
 Ger that happy cottage
 Now has sW ept at last. When the sweetest song birds
 Woke the frosty morn Oh, the bitter agony
 When we heard she was gone. For the Angels whispered
 Softly in her ear,
 Ruth, the Father calls thee,
 Stay no longer here.
 Then they gently bore her.
 Robed in spotless white, To their blissful Eden,
 Blessed home of light. Though we shall never
 Smile on her more, Gone with the love
 And the joy she bore.
 Far above she is blooming
 In fadeess bower,
 Our own, dear, sweet Ruth,
 The fairest, sweetest flower. One by one eaYth's ties are broken
 As we see our love decay, And the hopes so fondly cherished
 Brighten but to pass away. One by one our hopes grow brighter
 AS we near the shining shore, For we know across the river
 Wait the loved ones gone before.
