CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION

Like in most other contests, candi- dates for Congressional honors two years hence are beginning to get a good grip on their kelleys with the avowed intention of throwing them in- to the ring. Two of Arkansas strong est representatives in Congress have determined opposition in 1916, and as most all Congressmen have served two terms or more, it is poor guessing to prophecy that they, too, will not be opposed.
 F. Epps Brown, member of the Ark ansas Tax Commission, former Speak CT of the House, former prosecuting attorney of the Seventeenth district for numerous terms, and distinguished citizen of Des Are, is the first to come to the front in the Second Congress- ional District, announcing that he will seek the seat of W. A. Oldfield, who is now the Democratic nominee in that district for the fourth time.

UNITED STATES ALMOST INDE-
 PENDENT MINERAL RESOURCES

Probably no other nation in the world so nearly approaches absolute Independence in respect to mineral re- sources as the United States.
 A glance at the statistics of mineral imports affords EcS@c c. con- pro. hending in a broad way how great and complex is the task of attaining na- tional independence in the mining, metallurgical, and chemical industries. Last year the imports of mineral prod ucts, both crude and manufactured, ex- |ceeded $270000,000. Of this total probably $200,000,000 represents raw materials and crude metals, the value of these imports being about 8 per cent of that of the domestic output. In this list of imports the larger items nam, q in the order of value are un- manufactured copper, precious stones nitrate of soda, copper ore an} matte, niclde, til, iron ore, pig iror and steel, petroleum products, manganese ores and alloys, platinum, aluminium, py- rite, graphite, stone, potash, and mag nestle. This country has an abundant supply of most of these miueral pro- aucts that are now imported in large amounts, and as to them it can be in- dependent of foreign countries. The only essentioal minerals of the first rank of which the United States has no known supply at all commensurate with it's needs are nitrates, potash salts, tin, nicel, and platinum, the list thus comprising two essential mineral fertilizers and three very rseful met |als.

 The first publication to be made un- der Act. No. 3 will no doubt be the acts of the quorum courts which con- vene all over the state on the first of next month. There will also be some general acts of the Arkansas Rail road Commission to publish, with some acts by the county courts which may be announced prior to the first of Oc- tober. The people will then have the opportunity of seeing what they have been missing through the lack of a publicity bill, and to judge for them selves whether or not it is a good measure. The friends of the bill ad- init that it is not perfect, but they assert that time will remove the ob-
 jectionable features, the legislature taking care of them as soon as they are pointed out.
 Under the bond amendment many Icities and towns will make a rate for water works, sewers and adequate fire departments, while others will first make an issue of bonds to care for the city's indebtedness.
 The child labor law, if enforced, will prevent theatrical companies now booked for tours of Arkansas, which have juvenile actors, from entering the state, for the act prevents child ren of less than 16 years appearing on the stage as professionals.

EXHIBITING SMALL GRAINS
(By L. w. Osborn, Asst AgrOnomist,
 Arkansas Experiment Station.

Arkansas Experiment Station.
 The season for county and state fairs is now close at hand and the dis play material should be gotten ready as soon as possible. Any fair owes !, its attractiveness to the efforts of in- dlvldual farmers who compete. Where competition becomes close, exhibitors begin to take more pains in the selec- tion and method of showing their pro- duce in order to catch the eye of the judge. This is because when two or more samples are very similar in quail ity, a judge usually awards the prem ium to the best prepared exhibit.
 Sheaf material of either oats, wheat, rye, or barley is best shown in bundles three inches in diameter at the upper band. Stripping old leaves from the straw makes the sample ap- pear much better. When this is done a great deal will depend on the per sonal artistic ability of the exhibitor
 
 in a systematic orderly way. This is often best done by getting them into the form of cone. When arrange ment is complete the sample must be bound securely with heavy cord or with stove pipe wire. The advantage of using stovepipe wire lies in the fact that when the straw dries it can be frightened very quickly with small tweezers. It is best to bind the straw in at least three places so that every head will stay in place. The appear ance of the samples is complete when ribbons are tied around the straw at uniform distance. Usually two or three ribbons are sufficient. Too many tend to make sample appear gaudy. Either three quarter or inch ribbon may be used The sample may now be shown to best advantage with head upward and fastened with an eight penny nail driven just below the top band.
 In an individual form display or in a regular county exhibit all sheafs should be prepared carefully and made to look uniform. This lends de- gree of attractiveness to the entire ex- hibit which cannot otherwise be ob- tained.
 Threshed grain is best shown in measures containing full peck. Where sacks are used they should be neatly rolled back so as to allow the judge to have easy access at the sample, Where individual townships or counties are showing, too much, cannot be said in favor of having the threshed grain shown uniformly in the same type of receptacle.
 In preparing threshed grain for ex- hibt a flaming mill and grain grader give good satisfaction. If one is not available the straw chaff and light seed may be eliminated fairly well by pouring the grain from one pan to an- other and allowing the wind to play upon 1t.

says Mr.. Bailey. zone has only to read
the recommendations to the legislative

yet Of constructive plans for the I'M
proyemcnt of rural conditions.
"a land bank for farmers Is probably
coming, but we need markets more than
we do land bank. We need coopera-

"The system of agricultural education

tior. There is no coherent plan A few
special schools of agriculture may be
all right: the State in the long run
may need five or Six. but at the rate we
are going we will soon have fifty or
sixty in this State, provided for because
of political reasons. and they will cost
us $4,000 900 year. A good place to
teach agriculture is in the public schools
as soon as they are ready for them.
II am inclined to favor the regency
