How Washington's Farm Prod
ucts Compare With Neigh
boring States.

The Leavenworth Echo, in extoling
the advantages and opportunities that
are open to homeseekers in Western
Washington urges its readers to tell
fill up our farm lands and start new
industries.
Some of the interesting facts about
our state are put by the Echo as fol-
lows:
DO you know that the state of Wash
lngton produces more wheat than the
states of Oregon, Idaho and Montana
combined, that this years crop will
amount to 64,000,OO0 bushels, and that
the wheat farmers of the state of
Washington will receive $45,OOO,0OO for
their work this year?
Do you know that Washington farm
ers get % per cent. more for their hay
than the farmers of Oregon. and As
per cent. more than those of Idaho,
and that this is positive proof that the
soil and climate of this state is highly
superior?
Do you know that Washington hogs,
on January /. 1913, were worth $11.26
per head, while those of Oregon were
worth but $3.50?
Do you know that there is money in
raising horses in our state, and that
the horses on the farms in the state of
Washington, January 1, 1913, were
worth $40 per head while those of
Montana were worth but 1913 per head,
and those of Idaho but 500 per head?
Do you know that Washington pro-
duces more potatoes than any other
state in the Union west of Minnesota?
Do you know that your home state
raises the finest apples in the world,
and that its annual production equals
that Of Montana, Idaho. Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado, New Mexico. Califor-
MIA and Oregon combined?
Do you know that Washington Is the
greatest dairy state in the West, and
that Washington mich cows are val
ued at $62 per head, while those of Or

those of Idaho but $3.50 per head?
Do you know that of the $4,000, 900
acres of agricultural land in the state
but 11,712,235 acres are included in
the farms, and that but 6,373,311 acres
have as yet been put under the plow
and this land not yet cultivated will
raise crops of standard excelling that
of any other district in the United
States?

FORESTRY NOTES.

I. From U. s. Forestry Department. =
A Russian scientist claims to have
discovered an incubation for use
against forest insects.
There are nearly 5000 professional
foresters in Germany who are associ-
ated with various technical societies.
The University of Washington has
obtained the use Of two sections of
land on the Snoqualmie national for
est in connection with its forestry
courses.
A tool used to fight fires on the Cali
fornia forests combines a rake, spade
and hoe. 1t is compact, so that it can
be carried on horseback and weighs
less than five and one-half pounds.
In an increase in timber sales this
year and in decrease in receipts from
timber trespass as compared with last
year, national forest officers see a
growing use Of the forests and respect

Twenty-Five states, including Ha-
wall, now employ state foresters.
A 115-foot lookout towner on the
Sitgreaves national forest, Arizona,
Just constructed by forest officers, was
built entirely of logs and without the
use of hosting machinery other than
ropes and tackle blocks.
Forest officers on the Payette ma
tional forest are using a compressed
air drill in road work on the forest.
There is considerable rock work to do
and the drill saves times and money
in cutting grades on mountain roads.
In an experimental test track near
GAINESVILLE, Wis, an inspection just
made showed that hemlock and tama-
rack ties put in the track without pre-
sentative treatment were decayed az
ter five and one-half years service.
Those which had been treated were
practically as good as when first laid.
Light burning of underbrush to re-
move forest litter had been practiced
in India with the idea that it improves
conditions for teak growing. Now af-
ter long investigations forest officials
there say that the fires are harmful,
that full fire protection must be ex-
tended everywhere. and that to be
really effective this protection must
be continuous.

FOREST FIRE FIGHTING.

Washington One Of Six states That CO.
operate with Nation In Prevention.
During the last quarter of the fiscal
year the federal government has en-
tered into cooperative fire protection
agreements with Maine, New York,
Minnesota, Montana, Washington and
Oregon, contemplating the protection
from fire Of approximately S7,000,000
acres of land on the forest water sheds
of navigable streams, for which pur-
pose ISL 500 of federal funds have
been made available. There are at the
present time IA states which are en-
gagged in active cooperation of this
kind, and t is possible that three new
West Virginia will be added by early
fall
The federal government, though it
has allotted total of 5000 for the
work of the present season. is minor
contributor in the aggregate. Under
the impetus given to fire protection Of
navigable watersheds through this ar
rangement the cooperating states will
expend an aggregate of SO for every
dollar which the federal government
spends, to which may be added about
50 more from private sources.

Currency Biil VIII Pass.
President Wilson has secured what
amounts to pledge from the leaders
of the house and senate that the cur
rency bill will be passed at this ses-
sion of Congress. Senator J. Hamilton
Lewis proposed a recess for several
weeks before the currency legislation
should be considered. Senator OGor-
man Of New York and Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska favored this course,
but among the senators considering
the subject practically all were in ia
yor of legislation before adjournment.
The currency measure has been before
the house caucus and has been de-
Tended by some of the best party lead
ers, but is assailed by Henry, Hard
wick, Ragsdale, and many other lead
ing Democrats. The indications are
that there will be row over the pas
sage of the bill, nevertheless, with the
administration back of it, the house
will pass it a-fying. Chairman Sim

will stay in session till snow flies" in

added ut is such good thing that one

Western bankers delegated to Stoddard
Jess of Los Angeles the position of
spokesman, and he assured the presi

This Orchard Paid Big.

o. F. Wyman's seven acre or- chard near Bentonville produced 901 boxes of good apples and. 600 bushels of culls, bringing him nearly $150 per acre. So far as we are able to learn, the honor this year must go to Ed Hail of Pea Ridge, who has a seven acre orchard of Ben Davis apples, ten or twelve years old, that have averaged S22O an acre. If you can beat that or equal it in so large an orchard, let us hear from you.-Rogers Demo- crat.

What Adult Inhabitant" Means

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 14,- Secre- tary of State Hodges was ask ed the question, what does the Going Saloon Act mean by the term, Adult White lnhabit- ants? and he passed it on tc Attorney General Moose, and he replied as follows:
 Adult means a person who has arrived at full agei eighteen years for female, and twenty one f d male.
 White means a person of the Caucasian race, and one who has no admiXture of the blood of any other race, black, yellow, brown or red. One court has held that the son of a white ia ther and an Indian mother could not be naturalized as a citizen of the United States, because he was not a white man Other courts have held frequently that a white person Is a member of the Caucasian race unmiXed with the blood of any other race. Some Caucasians are not very white and some Philippians are not very black. If the person is wholly Caucasian, he Is white in the eyes of the law, and not otherwise. And 8 descendant of an African is a negro, if there is any perceptible negro blood in him.
 "Inhabitants as it is used in this act, is one who resides with in the limits of the town or city where the petition is being cir culated.a ;
 The Attorney General there fore holds that "only persons who are of lawful age, who are white in the sense that they are Caucasian, and who reside with. in the city or town where it is proposed to sell liquors, are au, thorized to sign the petition fol license"

Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 15.-T. J. Golfers commission as a justice of the peace at Altheimer, Jeff ferson county, will probably be revoked today by Governor Hays. It has developed that the township is entitled to only two justices, whereas MT. Collier makes the third. He has been requested by the governor to resign, but Pine Bluff paper says that he declines to do so. He says that his name is on the ticket for the next election and that he will not resign, but this does not meet the requirements of the situation as seen by the governor, and unless his resig- nation is in hand today, the proclamation revoking his cOm- mission will be issued.

Henry (Rube) Robinson, star left handed baseball pitcher for the Pittsburg National League team, and one of the foremost ball players in either of the big leagues, is spending the winter at his home at Floyd, in this county, after a strenuous seas on spent with his team. which finished close second for the national league penant.
 Robinson has resided in White county all his life and it is gen. uine pleasure for him to return to the home of his parents at Floyd each year and meet num- erous relatives and friends. He spent today in Searcy visiting the family of his brother-in-law, F. A. Heggie, and found time to pay the Citizen office a brief vis- 1t.
 He worked in A games during the season which closed Oct. 5, pitching 28 games alone and winning 19 of them. In Saint Louis against the Cardinals he twirled a no-hit game until the eighth inning, winning by a score of 2 to l. In the post-sea- son series between Pittsburg and Cleveland, the White county boy pitched two games, the first one against Gregg and lost by a score of 2 to 1, after the bat tie had been waged for eleven innings. In the second game he was opposed by the invincible Falkenburg, but shut the Cleve- land Maps out with a score of 3 to 0. He has hit close around .240 and still holds a fielding re- cord surpassed by no pithcer in either the American or Nation al leagues.

COOpers On Strike

ParagouId, Nov. 13.- The strike of the local Coopers' Un- lon, affecting the three heading factories of Paragould, which has been in progress during the past five weeks, continues with no prospects of an immediate settlement.
 Andrew C. Hughes, president of the International Coopers' Union, has been in the city dur Ing the past four days and has had conferences with both sides ot the controversy, but has as yet received very little encour- agement. MT. Hughes called a mass meeting at the opera house Monday night, the gathering be- Ing attended by about 1000 peo- pie, the house being packed to it's fullest capacity. The speaker explained the situation thor oughly, enumerating the princi- pies for which the Coopers' Un- ion stands. He stated that the coopers sought to work to the advantage of the employers as well as to better their own con- dition.
 Mr. Hughes told how, in 1911, the Standard Oil Company, the railway association and Steel Trust met with the Interstate Commerce Commission, in an endeayor to have that body pass a law prohibiting the shipment Of inflammabIe oils in wooden barrels, Mr. Weatherford, a large staVe manufacturer of Memphis, Tenn, received notice of the threatened action of the comission, and he immediately notified MT. Hughes of the Inter- national Coopers' Union and MT. Hughes secured a conference with the commerce commission.
 He explained that such law would be ruinous to the cooper age interests, that $30,000 worth of machinery would be useless and that 10000 coopers would be thrown out of imployment.
