~ REAT interest is taken in
a France just now In a new
method by which the yield OF
crops per acre is enormously in
creased. In one test case the in
crease OF wheat has been three
times above that grown in similar
soil in the same neighborhood.
The remarkable value of the
method is indicated by the state
ment that 1t has made twenty grains
OF wheat produce 100000 in one
year.
The method consists in preparing
seed-beds in widely spaced lines on
very mellow land: then at the end
of two months dividing the tufts
springing from each grain. replant-
Ing each Of these rooted shoots thus
detached, and finally in hoeing and
earthing up these new plants many
times In such manner as to provoke
at all the points brought into init
mate contact with the earth the
growth Of numerous adventurous
shoots, each OF which bears an ear.
The system is not really new, but
very ancient one, used immemO-
rally by the Chinese, and to it is
due the enormous yield of their
fields, which have been treated like
gardens.
While our farmers throw broad
cast handfuls OF grain on the har-
rowed earth. offering rich pasturage
to pillaging birds and rodents, the
Chinaman, after furrowing the earth
with his wooden plowshare, without
turning 1t, crumbles each lump in
his hands till 1t is like fine powder.
This done. at planting time he walks
slowly down each furrow, carrying
grain drill which is a marvel OF
ingenious simplicity.
Picture to yourself two pointed
plowshares about twenty inches
apart and connected by transverse
bar supporting hopper filed with
grain. from which issue two slender
bamboo. tubes designed to conduct
the grains so that each will drop In
the wake of one of the shares. The
diameter of each tube Is Just great
enough to allow the passage of one
grain at a time without letting It

But in his domestic life he will have
more troubles than in his public career,

APPOINTED

Yesterday the board having IN
charge the new Industrial Insurance
law as framed by Judge Forman, took
the matter up and appointed H. y.
Lennon and w. E. Wallanc as
members to start the law in motion.
This new law is calculated &c set
aside law suits for personal injury 10
the working men. Instead OF resort
ing to the courts the compensation
features are set forth by law and the
board administers the matter. In or
der to start the movement $1,000 has
been appropriated.
The money that will come in the
future is provided from the corpora
tons affected, a small but steady tax
is collected, which will bring the
funds necessary to carry out the pro
%vicions of the Act.
This is one of the most important
laws enacted, and it should prove of
the most benefit to all working classes
as law suits should be put out OF bus
mess for personal injury and the in
jured receive the coin instead of the
lawyers. Quicker action will follow
and both parties are in knowledge of
what they are doing. The appoint
ment of the two men is considered OF
the best as they are both able and
should make excellent officers.

|GRAND JURORS
 TAKE RECESS Examined Fifty Eight Wit nesses and Returned Thir- ty-Four True Bills.
TWO FOR MURDER
No Indictment Against Eugene Man. ning-WOuld Have Him Exam.
 ined For Sanity.

After four days session the Jeff
 ferson county grand jury yesterday
 made it s report to Judge A. B. Grace and was excused until May 19. Thirty-four true bills were return ed including two for first degree
 murder and two for assault with in- tent to kill.
 The report called attention to the fact that raffle boards were being openly exhibited by Pine Bluff mer-
 chants, that many boys and men are
 gambling and taking chances on the
 boards, and recommends that the law
 against this practice be enforced af- i ter the merchants have been given
 proper notice.
 Considerable surprise was occaslOn- ed at the jurys refusal or failure to indict Eugene Manning, the negro who confessed to killing Robert Luttrell,
 Fred Sommers, white, and negro, for the purpose of robbery. In the opinion of the jurors the negro is in-
 sane and should be committed to the
 State Hospital for Nervous Diseases. The case against Della Fairchlld, the negro woman, on whose lnforma- tion Manning was arrested by SherlH
 Brewster, was dismissed, as was also
 the cases against seven others for various offenses.
 Sheriff Brewster was plainly sur
 prised when he learned that Manning
 had not been indicted.
 Following the usual custom the
 names of those indicted were not
 given out but warrants have been ls- sued for arrests where those indicted
 are not confined in the county jail,
 and the deputies in the sheriff's office will immediately begin serving them' The adverse recommendation con
 corning the raffle boards is being re-
 ceived with some concern by some merchants and others express satls-
 faction at it.. The present law against gambling, literally interpreted, coV- CTS the raffle boards, and at differ ent times the merchants have been forced to quit handling them.
 The report in full follows:

 FRANK CARLISLE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
Indicted on Six Counts for Executing Forged Obtained $113.5O
 On Bad Cheeks.

Frank Carlisle, a young white man Of this city, was taken into custody yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Edgar Brewster on six warrants, each charg- ing forgery. The indictments against Carlisle were among those returned by the grand jury which adjourned yesterday. Carlisle will endeavor to make bond for his release until his case is called, which will probably be sometime in April
 Carlisle passed bad checks on six firms in Pine Bluff. Henry Marx, s. 5. Matthews. Charles Levi, M. Bram, w. A. Bobo, and another, the name of which was not given. He obtained total of $113.50.
 lnfatuation for some woman who demanded more money that he could set honestly was the cause of Car lisle's downfall. He took the woman to Monroe, La., and after a merry Whirl which consumed most of his money the woman disappeared and he returned home. ,
