EXPLAINS NAMING
 OF HtNRY DEPUTY

Referring to some criticism which had been made of his appointment of Walter Henry of Conway, a Republ- can in politics, as deputy sheriff, Sheriff w. w. Bishop said today MT. Henry's appointment was not a per manent one, but was made for the convenience in particular suit in which some papers were to be served. The case was that of w. M. Harrell & Co. vs. c. J. Greene and others, MT. Bishop said, and the plaintiffs had been given an order of court that cer- tain livestock in the possession of the defendants should be brought in to Conway. MT. Henry who is the col lector for the firm composing the plaintiffs, was named as deputy for the purpose of carrying out this par ticular court order as matter of convenience, Sheriff Bishop said, and is not to be retained permanently as one of the sheriff's deputies. It should be stated, however, that no objection has been raised against MT. Henry except as to his political affiliations.

Little Rock, Dec. 31.-The Arkan- sas railroad commission may recom- mend to the legislature that the com mission be enlarged into public util- ities commission with authority to regulate the operation of all public service corporations.

 The legislature will have number of bills relative to the control and reg ulation of public utilities. One bill which has been proposed would pro- vide for the consolidation of the Ark ansas tax commission and the Arkan- sas railroad commission.
 Another, which is to be recommend ed be the Little Rock board of trade, would abolish the railroad commis- sion, replacing it with a public ser vice commission, the members of which would be appointed by the gov ernor.

the organic matter of the soil. This
is not easily accomplished when beans
and cereal crops are grown exclusive
ly. Stubble should always be plowed
under instead of being burned. The
blowing under of partially decayed
bean and wheat straw will also do
much toward keeping the soil in a
productive condition. The decayed
straw should be scattered rather thin
ly over the grain stubble in the fall
1t should be thoroughly worked into
the surface soil with a sharp disk
harrow after the first autumn rains.
The disking causes the straw to mix
thoroughly with the soil at the time of
blowing instead of forming a layer
in the bottom OF the furrow.
The arabic land of Eastern Wash
ington. Eastern Oregon and Northern
Idaho has been devoted almost ex-
clusively to the production of wheat
oats and barley for more than 80
years Because of the introduction of
serious weed pests soon after the land
was brought into cultivation it was
found Improbable to grow a crop of
grain each year. Many of the new
settlers had come from the Villa
mette Valley, Oregon, where wheat
and oats were grown by summer fall
lowing the land every second or third
year. Hence, they naturally turned
to this system of farming as solution
of their weed problem, and the grow
ing of small grain by the summer fall
low method is still the general prac-
tice among the farmers of this re-
gion. Under this system of farming
from one-third to one-half Of the land
lies idle each season.

Use Idle Lands for Bean
Production

EHHOUSANDS of acres of land are
ing idle as summer fallow each
S year in Eastern Washington,
Eastern Oregon and Northern Idaho
that are well adapted to the growing
of beans. Fifteen years experience
shows that as good cereal crops can
be grown following beans as after an
ordinary summer fallow, and leaves
the soil in excellent condition for seed
ing winter wheat. The crop is also
harvested in ample time to permit
early fall seeding.
Beans do not seriously compete with
wheat for labor, and the two crops
can be grown with practically the
same equipment. Approximately $3.50
worth of extra machinery is needed to
plant, harvest and cultivate from 10
to 80 acres of beans instead of Guilt
waiting the land as summer fallow.
With the present wage for man and
horse labor it requires about Sc more
per acre to grow, harvest and market
a crop of beans than it does to sum-
mer fallow an equal area. Since beans
yield on the average about 500 pounds
per acre and sell for 8 cents per
pound, the gross return per acre is
approximately s24. In districts adapt
ed to bean culture. beans are there
fore approximately SIS per acre more
profitable than summer fallow.
Generally speaking, the soils of the
bean growing districts are rich in all
the mineral elements necessary for
plant growth. Under such conditions
the maintenance of soil fertility will
depend almost entirely on keeping up
