scientific eXplantion of why one acre of land produces more corn than an-. other acre.
 The point has recently been made that our present system of education. is what is tending to drive the boys. from the farms as much as anything else. It is argued that the movement ure similarly except that instead of effort wer eexepended in making farm life attractive. Perhaps the way td make it attractive is to arrange tho courses of study for young people in such a way that agricultural study will be nature study, pure and sim effort were expended in making farm considered that that man is best edu- cated who knows most about this earth and how to improve it natural ly, and that man must necessarily be a farmer.--Ft.

President Vail claims that it would take $79S,00O,000 to replace the Bell system. The number of sharehold- CTS on the books of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is 50,297. The president states that 43,- 555 hold less than 100 shares each, that 6,354 hold from 100 to 1000 shares and that 356 hold from 1000 to 1000 shares each
 The effort this year will be to per- feet telephony So as to enable a man in New York to talk as plainly to a man in San Francisco as a citizen of Memphis can talk to citizen of Nashville
 In 1884 there were 100000 Bell sta tions in the United States. In 1874 there was none. Now there are al most S,O0O,OOO.
 In 1920 the system will be so de- hveloped that wires may no longer be needed and then a man may have a telephone in his pocket and may es- tablish a station anywhere by stick ing wire in the ground, thus being able to call up a friend and deliver a message.

THE TELEPHONE

Yhe annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company shows the tremendous part tho tele- phone now plays in the everyday life of the American says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 There are more places from which q telephone message can be sent than there are postoffices. There arc 13,00o more telephone stations in the Unitcd States than there are railroad stations. There are three times as many telephone stations as there are regular telegraph offices.
 Tho Bell company, President Vail states, has a total of 7,156, GOO tele- phtne stations in this country. This is an increase over the previous year of more than 10 per cent.
 Every day during last year 25,000,- 6Go telephone connections were made ant. 73S,00O toll connections were made. As it takes two to make a conversation, there were 50,0O0,000 talks and hearings every day. In other words. there was more than cue talk for every two inhabitants.
 The people of the United States tax. more kindly to the telephone than do the Europeans. In 1911 Eu- rope handled 16,000,000o00 pieces of iirst-class mail matter and the Unit sd States 5000, 100000 Europeans sent 370,C0o,0O0 telegrams and tho United States 10S,0o0000 telegrams. lsut when it came to talking the peo- pic of the United States had 14,0oo.- GGe,000 telephone conversations, as against 6,000,0o0,O00 telephone con- rc~sations on the part of Europeans.

Senator Martin was present ed with the cane after adjournment of the legislative session by Senator Webb Covington. He wears felt slipper on his right foot, and declares that he really suffers with rheuma- tism, and the slipper is no sham to make an excuse to carry the cane. Senator Martin will go to Hot Springs to take a course of baths in order to get rid of the rheumatism, but he will keep the cane.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.

Little Rock, March 21.-Attorney General w. L. Moose delivered a semi official opinion Friday which will be of interest to every prosecuting attro- ney in Arkansas. He was asked by a justice of the peace of Batesville if a deputy prosecuting attorney was en- titled to fee in any case where infor- tion is filed by the office of the prose- cutting attorney. There has been con- tention on this point for years, espe- cially ill the cities where it has been custom to file information monthly against gamblers and other violators, who always entered pleas of guilty, but objected to paying costs to the prosecutor.

THE CALL FOR SCIENTIFIC FARM.
 1NE

1t used to be that scientific farm the Joplin Globe. There were plenty of examples to prove that men had been deprived in youth of any educa- tional training made just as success ful farmers as those who had common high school and even college educa- tions. Sometimes these near-illerate tillers Of the soil made a great deal more money than their learned neigh bors.
 Today. however, there is distinct call for educated farmers. The mill lions of consumers over the country believe that increased knowledge will mean increased production, and that increased production will mean lower prices for wheat and corn and meat. Consequently. they are anxious for scientific farming. The railroads fig tions. Sometimes these near ilIiterate lower prices, the thing to be desired with them Is more products to haul. The city business men feel that great CT production will mean greater busi- ness.
 Just what an educated farmer is however, is worth considering. It does not mean the rustic artisan, to be successful, must have the inelina- ton to get up carly in the morning and read Plato or Maeterlinck. It does not mean that he should have a book of logarithms on his parlor table and spend the noon hour and the cv- enings figuring out difficult problems in trigonomctry or calculus. It does mean that he should know about diff ferent sorts of soils and about when to plant and how to cultivate and the

GOOD USE FOR WASTE
Conservation of All the Products
Raised on Farm.
Department of Agriculture Devotss
Much Time Toward Solving Prob
lem of Much Importance for
Farmer and Fruit Grower.

For several years the United States
department., of agriculture has been
devoting q great deal of time toward
solving one of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation of all products on the
farm, letting nothing go to waste.
Special trains with leading govern
ment experts in charge have been sent
out through the country to demon
strate and lecture on the various ways
by which the enormous waste of this
country can be turned into profit
While many subjects of great interest
were discussed there was, perhaps,
nothing of greater importance than
the subject of caring for the millions
of dollars worth of fruits and vege-
tables that go to waste every year, by
the canning process.
The advisability of canning the sur
plus at home or on the farm, where
produced. was explained by these ex-
perts and steam canning outfits were
shown SO that the farmers and their
wives could see how easily this work
can be done. AS the heat of boiling
water is not sufficient to properly
sterilize such foods as vegetables,

AROUND THE HONEY MAKERS
All Failing or Slow Queens Should Be
Changed Promptly and Breed
Only From Very Best.

Comb honey that is to be sent to
a distant market should be shipped
before cold weather, since the combs
become extremely fragile when cold.
Change all falling or slow queens
promptly, and breed from the best
you can secure, thus raising the
standard OF your stock step by step
and improving the average year by
year.
The young bees, Matched from Au-
gust l on, constitute the colony to be
wintered, and for this reason it is
wise to see that much brood Is ready,
even If you have to resort to stimu-
lative feeding.
AS a rule bees cast a prime swarm
as soon as the first queen cell is
sealed, unless prevented by J bad
weather; therefore, the first young
queen may be expected to emerge on
the eighth day from the first swarm.
When the hives are well distribut-
ed Il a certain space, their inmates
car be more easily handled. 1t seems
to improve their disposition. especial
ly If there are some trees, shrubs, or
the like about 1t. Robbins is not so
prevalent, either, and the absence Of
that always helps to make the bees
better natured.

meats, fish and few fruits, the steam
pressure method of canning is almost
unanimously endorsed by experts in
this line. With steam-tight recepta-
Gle canned foods may be subjected to
a much higher degree of heat, and the
ferment germs totally destroyed
Many parts of the country are or
ganized into canning clubs under the
supervision of government agents
They hold meetings at intervals and
the children, as well as the older peo-
pie, are taught how to successfully
can all food products. Lectures are
given at these meetings by the person
In charge, and prizes are awarded for
the most perfect goods. This work Is
rapidly extending into all the states
and in a year or so the entire country
will be organized into canning clubs. :"
The farmer and fruit grower have
q great deal to thank the United
States government for. Unlimited
praise is due our government Tor the
educational work that is berg done,
in helping the farmer to realize great
er prot1ts for his produce.

BACKYARD TEETER
VIII, .. !,

A plank 10 or II inches wide and
from IA to 20 feet long suggests many
possibilities for backyard fun, and
among these Is the ever popular tee
ter, or see-saw, and the whirligig, bet
ter known, perhaps, as the Flying
Dutchman." These two pieces of ap-
paratus are quickly made, which is
probably one of the reasons for their
popularity, but enough time should be
given to the work to make the appa-
ratus substantial and to eliminate the
possibility of injury to anyone.
The board of teeter should be Sc
cured to its support in such a way that
1t will not slip when fitting, and thus
change the center of balance, and the
support should be fastened to the
ground so it will not oVerturn. Fig. 1

BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford to eurn Corn
Stalks and Put Nothing Back in
Form of Humus.

(By B. F.. SARA)
It always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks in the field, because the farmer
is burning up his land and doesn't
know it. How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way of humus,
and then hope to keep our soil In good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when l say that
farmers do not know what they're do
ing, for doubtless some of them do
know that it is a bad practice, but
burning stalks is easier than disking
or cutting them up, and they are
nuisance to pillow them under. Some
farmers say there is no benefit in
blowing under stalks. but l cannot
figure it out that way, because l do
not see how we can go robbing our
soil and keep up tho fertility. 1t costs
very little to keep a sheep and a
flock Of 80 sheep is worth money.
