ARKANSAS SWINE INTERESTS

In order to raise the value of the Arkansas hog to the stand ard reached in other states where the swine industry reaps thous- ands of dollars for farmers, the
 exension division of the Univer- sity of Arkansas, cooperating
 with the U. s. Department of Agriculture is now proposing to put on a spirited campaign for the promotion of swine interests
 in Arkansas. By arealization of
 the importance of hog raising as a great factor economic de- velopment of Arkansas, H. K. Sanders has been appointed special agent for swine husband ry and pig club work in this state, with headquarters at the Old State House, Little Rock.
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-08-20

MT. Sanders will belong to the boys and girls pig club staff, working under w. J. Jernigan in the organization of pig clubs Tn every county in Arkansas. lie will assume the larger res possibility for the growing of hogs on every Arkansas farm and we will want to have the cooperation of every swine breeder. MT. Sanders says that he will be glad to carry on a correspondence with all farmers and others interested in hog rais- ing. He will cooperate in his work with Dr. R. M. Cow, head of the department of veterinary
 science of the Arkansas College of Agriculture, Dr. J. E. Gibson,
 veterinary field agent of the
 United States Department of the University of Arkansas, and Il. F. Dvorachek, animal hus- bandman, College of Agriculture.

CANDIDATES TIPPING

While it is considerably over one year until the next election, can dldates are getting plentiful. Green Forest will furnish it's quota. c. D. Wall will, of course, stand for reelection as county treasure. J. H. Davidson, who is serving his second term, will likely ask for the nomination for county judge. There will be several asperants for collector. Among the formidable candidates will be Newborn Edgmond, of Green Forest. MT. Edgmond's S business qualifications are well known and the Tribune predicts that he will make a strong can- didate. Others seeking this nomination are A. M. Jack s5-s1sl,. of 33orryyille, and probably T. J. Walden, the former sheriff. The office of representive will be saught after by Joe Mckinney, of Eureka Springs, and if John Stafford of Green Forest declines to make the race again, there will lidely be a number of other candidates for this office.
 W. M. Smith, the present coun- ty clerk, is an avowed candidate for county judge, and Roy Thompson is probably a candi- date. It is not definitely known that Judge H. N. Pittman will not ask reelection. No one will likely oppose Riley Beaver for assessor.
 J. E. Gregson, for county clerk, after a tour years rest, will ask for that office again. It is said that he will likely have no oppo- sition.
 There are many other probable and prospective candidates and by the time frost begins to fly they will be full-fedged.

TWENTY-ONE CARS
 PEACHES SHIPPED
1915 A REcCRD-BREAkER FOR NORTH ARKANSAS PEACH
 GROWERS

Twenty-one cars of peaches had been shipped from Green Forest up to Wednesday of this week.
 1915 has been a rd-breaker for North Arkansas peach grow CTS, hence the price has been far below what had been anticipated.
 Many of the peaches have gone to waste in the orchard, the owners being unwilling to take the price offered.

THE HE~ SLAM FLY

The Hessian fly is the boil wee vii of the wheat crop, said Prof. George G. Becker, state entomo- logist, but 1t can be readily controlled by common s e n G e farming and late planting. A great many of us doubtless had some loss due to this insect and in would be we'll to turn under deeply all wheat stubble, within the next two or three weeks II possible. Experiments by the Arkansas College of agriculture at Fayetteville, show that deep blowing is effective in controll- ing the pest. It is in the stubbIe where the "fiaxseed' stage ot the fly is resting now, and from which it will emerge next fall to infest the wheat which will then be coming up. Dertroy all vol unteer wheat the T tee, Next fall plant your wheat at a tune when there will be no flies on the wing. For Northwest Arkansas (north of the Arkansas rlYer valley and west of Izard, Stone and Cleburn counties) the sta tion recommends the planting ot wheat in the northern tier ot counties after October 20, and for the rest of Northwest Arkan- sas after October 9, For the rest of Arkansas, to avoid lntec- lion by the Hessian Fly, wheat should be sewn after November Il.

AND MELL. CON-
 pANIES CONSOLIDATE
.,-,u e,RM TO EE kkOMN AS TAE GREEN FOREST MILLING
 COMPANY

4 most important deal to the f,,t,,re of Green Forest was con- sumated last week when the Green Forest Electric Light & Power Company was consolidated with the Green Forest Milling Company. Hereafter the two businesses will be known as the Green Forest Milling Co.
 The new company will handle the new department with a view of giving the patrons all the service possible; and, after Mo- vember 1st, will give all-night service.
 Observation and experience in all places where it has been tried outside the cities, it has been demonstrated that electric ity. produced as a by product, is about the only successful way that light systems can be main- tained.
 For a town once to have a light system and then go back to darkness would be one of the greatest steps backward that could possibly be taken and such astep would deteriorate property values ten times over the cost of the system.
 The machinery of the light system will be moved to the pres ent site of the mill plant and Lee H. Smith will continue in the management of the lighting of the town. The people of Green Forest should realize that enter prises of this character adds more to the material develop ment of the town than it is pos sible to calculate; hence, the busi- ness should have the hearty sup port and cooperation of every property owner of the town.
 This move materially strength ems the Milling Company's abili- ty to meet the growing demands Of the milling business. People of Green Forest too well remem- Der that a few years ago we had one of the best milling plants in the country and the town per mtted it to be moved away. The people of the town should make 1t point to hold all we have and try to get more enter prlses to locate with us.

SEED WHEAT

The College of Agriculture at Fayetteville, reports that eXperi- ments conducted for seven years with 61 different varieties of wheat show that Fultz, Fulcast- CT, Red May and Alabama Blue stem are probably the best vari- cites of wheat for Arkansas. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, is com piling a list of seed wheat grow CTS in Arkansas, southeastern Kansas and eastern Oklahoma, and will furnish the list to all county agents in Arkansas as soon as it is ready which possibly will be within the the next two weeks. In counties having no agricultural agent, this list will be sent to all banks. In the meantime, every farmer who has seed wheat of the above varieties, or any other good wheat is urged to send his name at once to his county agricultural agent or the Dean of the Exten- sion Division of the State Uni versity at Fayetteville, so that he may be placed on the list of seed wheat growers. If home grown wheat is used 1t should be we'll cleaned.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 16, 1915. There was suspicion of strength in the cattle market late last week, killers picking up everything freely, but liberal supplies around the market cir cle to-day removed the bloom, and sales are called steady to 10 lower. Receipts here are 17,000 head, the largest supply this season, and well distributed as to quality and breeding.
 Top corn fed natives sold at S9.90, a number of sales around $9.75, mixed yearlings $9.85,

 How sadly we often speak of the soldiers who die so willinelv for their country. Yet how many of their names appear in history? Need l add-what of their mothers?
 You are gone and you shall soon be quite forgotten but you shall live, oh, mother. You were one of the true mothers and your influence will endure as long as eternity.

follow the blow for a living and my views may have in them the smell of the soil; my hair is turning white under the frost of many winters and perhaps 1 am a little oldfashioned, but 1 be- lleve there is more moral infiu- ence in the dress of woman than in all the statute books of the land, AS an agency for morality l wouldn't give my good old mothers home made gowns for all the suffragette's constitutions and bylaws in the world.
 As a power for purifying socie- ty, l wouldn't give olie plas < of my saintly mother for all the Women's votes in Christendom. As an agency for good govern ment, I wouldn't give the plea of a mothers heart for righteous ness for all the oaths of office in the land,
 There is more power in the smile of woman than in an act of congress. There are greater possibilities for good government in her family of laughing child- ren than in the cabinet of the president of the United States.
 The destiny of this nation lies in the home and not in the legis- lative halls. The hearthstone and the family Bible will ever re- main the source of our inspira- tion and the Acts of the Apostles will ever shine brighter than the acts of Congress.
 This country is laW-mad. Why add to a statute book, already grooming under it's own weight, the hysterical cry of woman? If we never had chance to vote again in a lifetime and did not pass another law in twenty-five years, we could survive ordeal, but without home, civilization would wither and die,

PACKING APPLES

The packing and grading of apples are two operations in harvesting the apple crop which cannot be separated, according to H. E. Truax, horticulturist of the College of Agriculture and Experiment Station at Fayette- vile. MT. Truax says that be- fore packing, the apples should be graded as to size, color and freedom f TO m blemishes. If packing in boxes, the grading as to sizes must be strict, as the fruit placed in boxes must be of approximately the same size in order to pack well. But the bulk of the apples placed in packages in this state, will con- tinue to be placed in barrels. The grades usually consist of number ones" and number tWos" The standard size for the number ones" with most va lietiGs Is Z l-z inches in diameter, and for number twos" 2 1-4 inches. Number one ap p e S should be hand packed from the tree, practically free from the action of worms, defacement of surface, or breaking of skin, and of normal color and shapely form. Number twos" should be the same, except for size and they may be poorer in color. If the fruit is of poorer quality than the above it had better be sold in bulk to the eVaporator or cider mill. Before placing the apples in the barrel the quarter hoops should be nailed on the barrel, one end head lined, and the other head knocked out. Pour twenty to thirty good clean apples in the barrel for '.facers. /" Place these in even, compact, circular rows around the outside and working in, setting each specimen with the stem down. Some put a second tier on these. Then begin filing by low ering 9 half bushel of fruit down ln the barrel, shaking after each emptying. Leveling up t h e fruit or 'tailing off" is best done by placing the fruit in con- centric rings, turning the apples on the side with stem against calyx. For the most varieties fill to about two to three inches above the chimb, then put in the head carefully with a press. Nail and put head liners on and the barrel will stand reasonable treatment without d m g e. Stamp the name of the variety and the growers name on the head of the barrel,

rest of the Democratic ticket. Even
in Louisville, which he carried by a
large majority, he ran nearly $500
votes behind the majority of the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress; In Ken
ton county (city of CoYington) he re-
ceiVed 1889 votes less than the vote
for the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress; in Campbell county Getty OF
Newport) he received 1892 less; in
Fayette county (city of lexington
which he should have carried by 1920,
he carried by only 1877; and so it was
in every city where there was liquor
vote. Even in Henderson county, Mr..
Stanley's home, Governor Beckham
ran about 200 or ESQ votes behind tina
ticket, even though Stanley made
speech there before the election, os-
tensibly for the ticket, but it happen
ed that in the five or six places where
he did speak in that campaign, Beck
ham, the nominee, lost votes, for STAN
ley's speeches were not intended to
help him. Notwithstanding all of this
detection and boiling, Governor Beck
ham won over his Republican OPP
ponent, Governor Wilson, by $4,000
majority, the largest majority given
to any Democratic candidate in 25 or
80 years. So the threat of Mr.. Stanley
and his whisky and beer supporters
proved to be futile and empty.
1t is the same old trick they are
trying to work again on the Democrats
this year But it will fool only the
unthinking or the ignorant. Mr.. Nc
Chesney is undoubtedly the strongest
candidate the Democrats can nomi-
nate for Governor. He will be elected
beyond doubt; he may lose many very
wet Democrats In the liquor centers,
just as Beckham did last year, but he
will more than make it up in the coun-
try districts and in the mountains. He
is receiving the assurances of thou
sands of temperance Republicans and
Independents that they will support
him, if he is nominated over Mr.. Nor
row, who is we'll known as a wet man.
1t is no use for Mr.. Stanley to argue
that, because the Republicans Will
nominate wet candidate for Cover
nor on a wet platform, the Democrats
should do the same thing, and get into
race with the Republican ticket to
see which can bid the highest for the
whiskey and beer votes of the state.
The people of Kentucky are not going
to elect as, Governor of the state a
liquor trust man, and Mr.. Stanley
might as we'll stand aside. The people
know that their chance to beat the wet

| Chesney as the Democratic candidate.
