USE OF GYPSUM
OR LAND PLASTER
Practice Nearly Always Increasea
Y1eId ofClover and
Peas-E1ow to
I Apply A..

Plaster nearly always increases the
growth of the clovers and peas. Mixed
with an equal quantity of wood ash,
it is largely used by gardeners and
truckers to stimulate the growth of
early potatoes, corn. beans and cab
bage.
Plaster is su1phate OF lime. and
both the sulphuric acid and the lime
are active principals in plant growth.
The time to sow plaster on clover and
oats and peas is when the plants are
making their first leaves. Sow at the
rate of two bushels to the acre.
On land that has been recently
lined the application of plaster has
little effect. The only way to find out
the value of plaster is to measure off
an acre Of clover or an acre Of grass
and clover pasture and SOW, say, two
bushels to the acre, leaving the ad-
joining acre unplastered. The growth
of the plastered clover will prove its
value in few weeks after the plaster
has been sown. When plaster can be
had for $40 per ton it will pay 20 SOW
1t at the rate of two bushels to the
acre on dry upland meadows and clo-
yer fields. on pastures, oats and peaa
and on all the bean family. 1t is also
valuable for sowing on clover stubble
After ths first crop has been cut for
lay. The dressing of plaster at this
time will greatly encourage the second
growth clover. On most every farm

FEDERAL COURTS
 ASSUME CONTROL Judge Trieber Holds That Act of Congress Elimin-
 ates State Courts.
CASE FROM PRAIRIE;
Federal Court Holds That Insolvency Proceedings Under State Laws
 Are ODen to Attack.

Little Rock, Nov. S.-In an op nion handed down this morning ill the Weedman Slave Company bankruptcy case, Judge Jacob Trieber, in the United States Court, held that the insolvency laws under which the Stare courts. prcIceed are superseded by the bankruptcy act of Congress, and that all acis uf the State courts undes the insolvency laws are void and subject to attack by anyone.

 Case In Point.
 It appears that insolvency proceed ings were. instituted n the State Chancery Court of Prairie County some time ago, and a receiver was appo.nted by that court to wind up the afairs and distribute the assets of yhe concern. This occurred mere han TOUT months before the filing cf q psu ton in bankruptcy by the Ger man National Bank of Little Rock. The bankruptcy proceedings were based on an admission in writing, within four months of the ins itut'on of the proceedings in the United 1 States Court, of the inability Of the .have company to pay it's debs and it willingness to ba adjudged bank rupt. This is ground of bank ruptcy under the Federal law. A re- .eiver was appointed by the Federal court and an order was made to the Stats receiver to turn over tie assets to the receiver in bankruptcy and restraining order was issued cnJoln- ing the Stae receiver from dispc;tng of the assets. Afterwards the re ceiver of the Stae court petitioned the United Sta es court to set aside the erder and injunction, on the ground that he was appoin td by the State court more than four monShs befor: the institution of the bank .u3tcy proceedings, ana the further ! ground ;,at ,lle German Ma lonal Bank had intervened in the cause in the State court and was es'topped to attack those proceedings

OF course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and fax marketed to the 1st Of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev.
enue Of $75,384,0C0. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to $101 $4,000 or 21 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was

To most people a bushel of corn is
simply bushel of corn. 1t is usually
taken for granted that one bushel will
make as many pounds of beef or pork
as any other bushel. Little consider
alton is given the fact that the dry
matter is the part valuable as feed
and that water is not worth corn
prices. The moisture in corn varies
from IL to as much as 30 per cent.
Wei matured corn under normal con-
ditions contains from IL to IS per
cent. Immature corn usually con-
tains a greater amount, varying from
Is to 80 per cent, depending upon the
maturity.
The feeding value of 100 pounds of
corn with Is per cent or Is pounds of
water is greater than 100 pounds of
corn with rs pounds of water. In Cir
cular 55, Bureau of Plant Industry, U.
S. Department of Agriculture, appears
