 Scott. Miss.. Nov. l, 1915. Editor Brinkley ARGUS,
 Brinkley, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 l zee from your paper that the farmers and merchants are feeling better than they did last year 1t this time, seeing an account of hay yards of some of them and of crops. etc.
 Generally relate few agricul- tural facts, etc from the Delta. Our corn crop is fine, making a yield of from 75 to 80 bu. per acre on top land. Of course, we have some run as low as 20 bu. per acre. This company will make easily 100. 900 bu. of corn this year on Scott property, not including the 12,OOO acre place at Deeson, Miss. nor the 5000 acre place at Estelle. They have built . 20. GOO bu. capacity crib in Scott. and will unload with elevator into this crib all excess corn and grind into meal for their big store and small stores on property. We plant Mosley corn, breed up and improved here on this property by their expert Seed Breeder, Prof. Ewing. We plant peas in all corn except on now ground and SOW principally all of our hay from fields using Sulky Pea Fuller instead of the Moving Machine. Don't try to pull all the vines, just the the htst part and leave the rest for humus, fertilize. etc. As soon as all corn and pea vines are har- vasted we run Disc Harrow and cut the leavings up and follow with 4mule Middle Buster call a Uncle Sam. This is heaped up in the spring of the year for cctton. After pulling the corn our Director claims that pea vines from 1 bu. of peas plow- ed under 'is worth from ST to $10 for fertility on cotton land, that is, land that go in cotton the fol- lowing year. We never burn any vegetable matter (unless on new ground, ) but blow all under insfall and early winter. As soon n, we gather hay and corn and got our oats and fall grain in every mule goes to blowing and blowing deep. This company dsained a big Lake-several hundred acres of it planted in corn, plowed one time and flat weeded twice with and are making 100 bu of corn per acre. Most of my best corn this year was grown in places where the first year l came here 1 watched the negroes catch wagon loads of fish out of in August and September in water from 6 inches to 4 feet deep. To me it's a mystery why any sane man who owns land in country not proper ly drained will oppose drainage that will take the water off of his land.
 There are thousands of acres of Monroe County's most fertile lands lying idle on account of no drainage when crops for one year off of it would pay the cost of Drainage Tax. The soil from the old worn out starved hill or ridge land is in your slashes and slouahs. A dredge boat run down Big Cypress from up about the old Dick Pledger place to the Midland Ky. or on to mouth wolald make one of the most prosperous and best agricultural coointies out of old Monroe that there is in the state. Old Big Edmond slough that runs by the Atkins place on down by Van dyke & Sons if cleared and drained would make g bale per acre or 75 bu. corn and never

There are fancier towns than your own little town. There are towns that are hgger than this; And the people who live in the tinier towns.

most without number, those pertain ing to the development of Alaska be- ing but a few of the matters brought to the attention of the legislators, but if the board is created and given the power to do things pertaining to the territory as congress would do them, great deal of time would be gained. for the board would have nothing to do other than to admin ister the affairs of the territory
 The bill will provide that the present functions of the Fur and Fisheries department and the United States land office come under the jur- isdiction of the board The matter of titles to property and patents would be handled by the board if 1t handled the affairs of the land office, while the conservation of the forests and the use of the lumber of Alaska would fall to the lot of the board, as the official representative of the For estry bureau The amount of taxes which should be paid on the fish in- dustry of the territory would also be one of the important items handled by the board.

PIONEERS MARK ''DAD'S' BIRTHDAY
Pioneer Hall Crowded on Saturday Evening at Birthday Surprise
 Party Given w. H. Robinson.

The members of Valdez Igloo No. I7, Pioneers of Alaska, together with the Pioneer Women of Alaska and their friends, celebrated the S5th birthday of William H. Robinson, at Pioneer Hall on Saturday night. | Saturday evening being the regular meeting night of the Igloo the mem- bers planned to surprise "Dad," as he is familiarly known to his friends, which in this case means the entire population of Valdez. About one hundred persons were present and MT. Robinson will have occasion to remember the passing of the 85th mile stone in his io rney through life. His surprise can be imagined when told that the crowd had gath cred to do honor to him.
 Senator B. F. Willard, Senator O. P. Hubbard, Mayor Boyle, c. M. Day, president of the Valdez Igloo, and Mrs. A. s. Jenson, president of the Valdez Pioneer Women of Alaska, made short addresses facilitating MT. Robinson on hls having attained his 85th birthday while still enjoying good health and with the promise of many years yet to come.
 Following the speeches and con- gratulations a substantial luncheon which had been prepared by the Pio- neer Women. was served A birthday cake, decorated with S5 candles and natural flowers. graced the center of the table. The balance of the eve- ming was spent in games, dancing, sin ging and music and it was not un- til after l2 o'clock that the crowd dispersed wishing Dad" many hap py returns of the occasion.
 An electric wheel had been clever ly arranged on the stage, symboli- cally marking the principal events in MT. Robinson's lone and eventful march through life
 William H. Robinson was born in Jackson county, N 1., in 1880, and started across the plains for the Golden Gathe before he had attained his majority. He was married in Virginia City, Nevada, in the fall of 1849, and arrived in San Francisco on January 10, 1850, when Califor- nit was in the height of the gold ex- citement.
 Their first child was born in 1855. On July 4. 1872, Mir. Robinson bur jed his wife and four children, who had died from scarlet fever in Tu- la,e county. California. In 1878 he became grandfather, great grandfather in 1898, and great great-grandfather in 1911. He has pictures showing the four generations and is proud of his offspring.
 MT. Robinson came to Ketclnkan in 1898 and to Valdez in 1902, where he has continued to reside and has been adding to the number of his friends each succeeding year.
 pleasant feature of the ev 'l'ng was MT. Robinson's surprise when he discovered that his coat pocket had been filled with silver coins while he had been receiving the felicitations of hic friends

SECRETARY LANE WANTS
 DEVELOPMENT BOARDS

WASHINGTON: Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane has an- nounced to the newspapers that when congress convenes in December he will urge the passage of the bill to create a development board for the purpose of administering the affairs of Alaska. He also states that he feels sure that it will ultimately be passed, although he expects that some opposition will be offered to his plan. However, a number of the legislators who have the best inter ests of Alaska at heart, have already expressed themselves as in favor of the bill.
 It is supposed that the bill as in- troduced at the coming term of con- gress will be much the same as was the old bill, which was shelved at the term ending last spirng. If so. it will provide that the development board consist of five members to be ap- pointed by the President, three of whom will be residents of the terri tory, to have supervision over every thing pertaining to Alaska except the making of the laws which govern the territory.
 As explained by the secretary the passage of the bill will have the eff feet of saving thousands of dollars to the government annually. The bill will provide that the headquar- ters of the board will be at Juneau, where it can work in active conjunc- tion with the governor and with the Alaska legislature when the latter body is in session,
 The passage of the bill,, however, will have more the effect of saving time than money. As things now stand, congress passes upon bills all

ANCHORAGE CARGO . LEFT AT SEWARD
Steamer Northwestern Unable to Finish Discharging Freight at
 New Railroad Town.

The big steamship Northwestern, which took the Anchorage freight from the City of Puebla at Seward, according to latest advices was un- able to discharge six hundred tons of railroad material for the Alaskan Engineering commission at Anchor age and was forced to bring it back 10 Seward.
 No information has been received as to the movements of the Kansas City nor the Admiral Farragut, both 10 the westward with freight for An ehorage, and it is believed that they too will have to discharge their car goes at Seward
 The advices from Anchorage failed to state why the steamer was unable .o finish discharging her cargo but t is believed to have been due to ice in Cook Inlet preventing the small launches from handling the barges used for lightering the freight from the steamer to the shore.
 In the event that the Kansas City, which made the trip as freighter and carried two thousand tons of freight for Anchorage, and the Ad- miral Farragut, carrying fifteen hun dred tons, fail to leave their cargoes at Anchorage the people of that dis trict will probably go hungry before the opening of navigation next year.
 The Northwestern sailed from Sew ard at 2 o'clock this morning for Valdez and will not go to Skagway on her southbound voyage, the Lynn canal port having been dropped from the port of call for Southwestern Alaska vessels for the season.

submerged. The claim is based. too,
on a new disappearing gun recently

asserted. believe 80 or Is would not be
too many. Secretary Daniels is said
to favor a large building program and
those familiar with President Wilson IS
views would not be surprised If he
were to favor an unusually large pro
gram.
Secretary Daniels today made it
clear that he is a scaunch advocate for
increases in submarine
strength.
