In the prairie region west of the Mississippi, spring planting gives best results.
 In the middle Atlantic states the work is divided between spring and August planting with the balance in favor of the latter in some localities.
 In New England the work is chiefly confined to the spring months, al though there are enthusiastic advo- cates of fall planting, especially among those who combine strawberry growing with the trucking business on expensive lands near the large cities.
 In the Atlantic Coast states south of New York, August and September planting is extensively practiced, par ticularly upon the more retentive soils
 In the trucking region on the islands about Charleston, s. C., the spring planting is extensively practiced, as it results in paying crop the following year. while only a small crop can be harvested from fall set plants.
 On the heavier soils of South Caro- lima, however, fall planting with the paying crop one year from the fol lowing spring, is the most profitable method.
 The particular time during the sum- mer or fall when the planting should

The Pine Bluff and Arkansas River Railroad filed notice in the United States District Court that 1t will ask an injunction against the enforcement of the 2-cent passenger rate in the United States Court at St. Paul May 2S, the date set for the hearing Of pc titions from the Frisco and Kansas City Southern railroads for permanent injunctions against the new tariff of the Arkansas Railroad Commission. The notice is similar to those filed re- gently by the Iron Mountain and Rock Island railroads. It sets forth that the 2-cent rate is confiscatory and asks the court to serve summons on the governor, attorney general, mem bers of the railroad commission and other state officials to appear at the hearing
 The Pine Bluff and Arkansas River Railroad is a subsidiary of the Cotton Belt and has been operated by the Cot ton Belt for the last two years under an order issued by the railroad com mission.

 Greatly reduced prices paid for Ar kansas cattle on the big markets on account of the cattle tick in the State has called attention anew to the tick eradication campaign, which was inaugurated by the last legislature. The recent statement of Col. J. E Little, after big sale at St. Louis, that he would have received $5 addi- tional per head if the cattle had been out of the quarantine district shows the value of dipping vats.
 Three acts of the last legislature enlarged the tick eradication district, and provided that others could be added if the voters so decided at spe- cial elections. The first district in cludes all of the State north and east of White River, and it's work is car ried on by a commission. The second district includes the counties west of White River, with a few exceptions. Counties in the State which have no provision for dipping and not included in any district are Ashley, Bradley, Dallas, Clark, Hemr stead, Grant, Gar land, Perry Pike, Howard, Little River, Miller, Lafayette, Polk, Saline, Desha and Calhoun Nineteen coun- ties in the northern part of the state have been declared free of the pest, and are not included in the quaran- tine district
 Work in the counties named in House Bill No. 3 cannot be carried on until 1916, when the annual tax of 5 cents per head on cattle will become available, unless provision for the ex- pense is met by private or county funds. Dr. R. M. Cow, state veteri- marian, is in charge of. this districts work.
 Cattle from the quarantine district bring about S200 per car less than those from free territory, according to Dr. Cow.

decided advantages over other meth ods. First gain is made in securing early maturity of fruits, second, the fruit is larger and finer in quality.
 While there are not so many indi vidual fruits as where permitted to branch freely, there is gain in size, and very decided gain in the num- Der of perfect specimens.
 The fruit being held suspended, the influence of the suns rays reaches ev- cry portion of its surface, resulting in higher and more perfect coloring than is ever secured when the fruit comes in contact with the ground, or it's mulched surface.
 Furthermore, air and sunlight have free access to every portion of leaf surface, promoting activity in cellular tissues, and health in these tissues as well. We find that grown by this method there is scarcely any inclina- tion toward rotting in the fruit. To secure the greatest benefit from this method through earlier maturing fruit, it is essential that the plants be extra large and strong.
 I have transplanted, with scarcely any check in growth, plants that were eighteen inches in height, and one cluster set with fruit. A ball of earth is removed with each plant, however, from four to six inches square.
 It is essential, too, that the soil moisture be conserved by sufficient maintenance tillage, and that the ground be we'll fertilized in order that there be no hitch in the process that makes for the maximum growth both | in foliage and fruit.
 While this method is certainly the one for us under our conditions of soil and climate, 1t may not give same 1esults under other conditions

(By M. N EDGERTON)
 The tomato is essentially a seedbed plant. To secure a long period of ripening, the seed must be sown in forcing beds several weeks in advance of the time when it may safely be set in the open field. Our rule is from eight to ten weeks.
 To secure profitable crops in the northern attitudes, it is essential that large, stalky plants be used, and that they be set in well prepared, fertile soil, the transplanting being done in such a manner as to insure the mini mum check in growth.
 Two or three transplantings while in plantbeds are essential to secure short, strong, stalky plants, with a compact, fibrous root system.
 In transplanting we move a chunk of earth about four inches square with each plant. We make rows three and half or four feet apart, and space the plants sixteen to eighteen inches in the row.
 Each plant Is confined to single branch, and trained to a stake Strong twine is used to secure the plant to the stake, one such support being used just below each cluster.
 The string is first made secure to the stake, single knot will usually answer, and then the stalk enclosed, a double knot being necessary in this case. Ample allowance should be made for subsequent growth of stalks
 A lateral will appear at each leaf joint, and these must be removed at once in order that the entire strength of the plant be directed into the grow ing of the single stalk and the devel- opment of the fruit cluster thereon. In our own experience we have found that this method of culture has
