THREE CORNERED
 CLASH IN SENATE.
o,.r,sd Wednesday Morning When Senator Moore Offered Motion to
 % into Executive Session to
 Contirm Appointments.

1;+tle Rock. Jan. 30.-Parlimentar- ;,ns like the courts, do not always .rree and during the past week the ,..on,bers of the Arkansas Senate en- ;ovod q three cornered parliamentary .Iasb between the three recognized ~0rlmentarians of the Senate. Pres ;dont Elmer J. Lundy, John Ike Moore of Phillips, and J. Marion Flu trou of Green were the three con- carned in this weighty combat, and corator Moore carried off the lau- rels.
 The discussion started on Wednes- day morning when Senator Moore of fered a motion to go into executive session for the purpose of confirming aopointments made by the governor during the past two years. President Jundv held that such an action would require a suspension of the rules, it being out of the regular order of busi- ness. Senator Futrell was appealed to by the chair, and while he did not decide against him, he did not take the decided stand that was manifested by the Gentleman from Phillips, who as serted the motion was privileged busi- ness.
 For three days thereafter the three members argued the question when one was within earshot of the other. The matter was not finally settled un- til complete copy of the rules of the United State Senate was produced. Here it was found that a motion to go into executive session is always in order and President Lundy will so en- certain the motion the next time it is made.
 These three leaders in the Senate still retain a corner on parliamentary procedure in the Senate, and there are none who will protest from a ruling by any one of them.

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-Representa- tive Robertson has introduced bill to amend the act of 1911 providing for the designation of Repositories for State funds, He claims that under the present law the banks will not make bids for the state funds and in con- sequence the Act is practically inoper- ative. The proposed act, it is claim ed by the author, will cure defects of the present law and enable the banks to take advantage of it. No bank shall be awarded more than $50,000 nor for greater sum than one-third of it's paid up surplus and capital.

 The new bulletin shows how temper ature is a limiting factor in peach growing. It also explains the general features of the propagation of peach trees which should be understood by peach growers, even though the aver age peach grower is not concerned di- rectly with the subject. The bulletin then proceeds to give as an explana- tion of methods of maintaining the fertility of the soil. There are a number of figures illustrating the new pamphlet which may be had by appli- cation to the U. s. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

"LET ARKANSAS FEED,
 HERSELF" PAMPHLET
Department of Education Issues Book let Containing Series of Lessons on Different Subjects Suitable
 for Use in Schools.

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-Through the cooperation of Professor P. G. Hol- don, of the International Harvester Company and some of the educational and agricultural workers of the State the Department of Education has is- sued an important pamphlet, "Let Arkansas Feed Herself" The book let contains series of lessons on these different subjects suitable for use in the schools.
 This work is intended as follow-up work for the schools in the Profitable Farming Campaigns" recently con- ducted in large number of counties of the State. The lessons may be studied and used in connection with the work in agriculture. The lessons are very practical and can be made to count for much to the pupils, to the school and to the community. State Supt. George B. Cooks says:
 That there may be definiteness In this work, l suggest that these les sons be studied in as many schools as possible during the week beginning February 10th. During the five days of this week, all of these lessons may be covered in full or in part. Then to wind up the weeks work, enroll as many boys and girls as possible in the different clubs and, send in their names to the county demonstration and county canning club agents that they may get in touch with these boys and girls"

39 STATES COMMERCIALLY
 INTERESTED IN PEACHES
Peaches Do We'll On A Wide Range of Soil Types and Usually Pre- fer a Site Considerably Ele-
 vated Above Country

Washington, D. C., Jan. 3O-In at least 39 of our 48 United States there are peach interests of commercial i'm portance according to a new Farmers Bulletin (No. 631) of the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture on "Grow ing Peaches" This bulletin is the first of three on the general subject of peach growing, which will treat of fundamental orchard operations. The questions of site, propagation, plant ing, tillage, and soil fertility are treated in the first bulletin now being issued.
 In locating a peach, as we'll as any other orchard, other advantages must be considered besides the natural ones of climate and soil. If an orchard is too remote from shipping station, too far away from a suitable market, or located where ice for refrigerator cars cannot be conveniently supplied, 1t may not be possible to grow peaches there profitably.
 Peaches may do well on a wide range of soil types including even some of the moderately heavy clay loans and clays. But whatever the type, soil must be thoroughly well drained to be suitable for peaches. They will not succeed on poorly drain ed soils. It follows that the heavy clay types which are so hard and i'm pervious that water does not percolate through them readily are to be avoid ed as rule. Moreover, soil should be moderately fertile. One very rich in nitrogen is not to be desired as a general rule, since it is likely to in- duce an excessive growth of foliage. On the other hand, the impression which is somewhat common that a poor unfertile soil is "good enough for peaches" is erroneous.
 In districts in which alkali soils oc- cur, sites should be selected with a view to avoiding them. While the peach tree can be grown where there is limited amount of the alkali salts they cause disaster if present in large quantities. 1t is safer, therefore, to avoid them as far as possible.
 As a general proposition, site that is elevated considerably above the sur rounding areas is to be preferred for peach orchard. Relative elevation is generally of greater importance than actual elevation above sea level
 It it well-recognized fact, though one too often overlooked in selecting sites for orchards, that cold air settles to the lower levels. For this reason it is often colder at the lower eleva- tions than it is at higher points in the same locality. This is what is meant by atmospheric drainage The oc- currence of frost in low places when there is none on elevated areas is
The Prescott daily news., 1915-01-30

thus explained. For the same reason peach buds are often winterkilled or the blossoms are injured by frost in the spring in low places when near by orchards on higher elevations are injured much less, or even escape en- tirely.
 Where an orchard occupies site that is adjacent to large body of
 water, the importance of relatively high elevation largely disappears. To be factor in the matter, however,
 body of water must be of sufficient
 size and depth to have an appreciable influence on the local climate. Be-
 cause the water warns up in the spring more solwly than the atmos-
 phere, it acts in effect as a refrigera-
 tor, making the temperature in it's i'm mediate vicinity colder than it is ct
 points somewhat distant from it. For
 this reason, vegetation within the zone of this influence advances more slow
 ly in the spring than it does outside
 of that zone. The tendency is for the
 blossoming of peach trees situated
 within the zone to be delayed until
 after the season of spring ftosts is
 rast.
 In the fall, frosts are delayed in a
 similar manner, except that the large
 r1dy of water, having absorbed much
 heat during the summer, cools off in
 the fall more slowly than the atmos-
 phere, and hence it tends to keep the | temperature within it's zone of in
 huence warmer than it would other
 wise be.
 It is because of these reasons that peaches ;le grown with marked sue
 .ess and injury to the crops bv ad- verse temlerature conditions is com
 paratively infrequent n the DO 'tions of New YCrk and the Province ot On tario that border Lake Ontario; in Ohio along Lake Erie; in southWes- tern Michigan on Lake Michigan, and in some other districts which are ad jacent to large bodies of water. As a rule, the zone of influence of bodies of water, such as those named, is rather narrow, usually not extending
 back from the short more than a few miles.
 The slope or exposure of site Is the point of the compass toward which
 the land inclines. A question very commonly asked is, What slope is best?" It is one that admits of no di- rect answer. No one slope is prefer able under all conditions and in all re- gions. In fact, the influence which
 particular exposure may have in the success of an orchard is probably
 much overemphasized in the popular mind.
 As a rule, it is doubtless safe to as-
 sume that a site having moderate slope in some direction is to be pre-
 ferred for orchard purposes, other things being equal, to one that is lev el. One having a slope will usually

Hen Lays Tadpoles.

A communication from E. Ray
Smith to the Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say:
Yesterday after l was asked to
break and examine a hens egg,
which had a small hole in the end.
There seemed to be some kind of
an animal inside the egg for his
tail was extended out through the
hole l broke the egg and was
much surprised to find a large tad
pole.
Why it was there can only say
this, that the hen had been running
near a pond and doubtless had
eaten this animal, and having been
so disarranged in her digestive Or
gans, used it in the production of
the egg"

Chicken Mites.

The red mite is one of the great
est enemies of the poultry raiser.
This is spider-like insect and is
very common. Its habits are en-
tirely different from those of lice
with which it is often confused.
Mites hide in the dark damp places
in the poultry house, and can be
found in the cracks and under the
roosts. At night they crawl upon
the bird and gorge themselves With
blood.
The Missouri Agricultural Exper-
iment Station gives the following
treatment for the determination of
mites. The treatment must be ap-

1t Was Too Rough For Him,

A negro in a southern county
seat town had been condemned to
die. The day of the hanging came
and Rastus was taken to the scat
fold in the court house yard. The
hood was slipped over his head
and the moose adjusted
Just as the s. eriff was about to
spring the trap cry of 'fire! was
heard, and smoke was seen coming
from the courthouse windows. The
officials and spectators forgetting
their task, rushed to help fight the
blaze. Anyway, Rastus was tied
and could not escape without aid.
During the fire another negro
wandered into the court house yard
and passed the scaffold. He thought
he recognized familiar form stand
ing on it and proceeded to find
him.

Sam mounted the steps and re-
leased Rastus from his bonds
Rastus in turn prepared the unsus'

skipped. A few minutes later the
sheriff returned. He saw a negro
standing patiently on the scaffold
Without further ado he sprane
the trap.
Fortunately for Sam the rope

Uncle Will Take 4 Children
Home to His Illinois
Home.

Following the funeral of their faith
er, c. c. Whitaker, one-time well-tO-
do merchant and rivcrman who was
taken to the hospital recently from d
small hOuseboat north of the Cape suf-
fering with pneumonia, the four Whit
akcr children will be taken to Illinois
to live with their uncle, James Scher-
ley.
Whitaker died about 4 o'clock Sun
day afternoon at the hospital, and his
funeral was held yesterday afternoon
from the Haarig Undertaking parlors
to Paramount Cemetery under auspices
Of the Yeomen's Lodge.
Hester, IA years old, the eldest
daughter, yesterday was removed from
the hospital and taken to a private
residence. She is virtually completely
recovered from the attack of pneu-
monia that she was suffering.
The other three children, Gladys, II
Lorinc, 7 and Lester, 10, also have
been removed from the houseboat in
which they lived north of the Cape to
a private residence in the Cape until
they can be taken to their uncle's
farm.
The children yesterday were looked
after by officers of the Yeomen's
Lodge and DR.. NJ. Rosenthal, who was
made their guardian by Whitaker be-
fore he died.
Sunday afternoon and yesterday
morning, before the children were ia
ken away from their houseboat home,
Mrs. H. A. Knoop obtained a sum of
money on popular subscription
among residents of the North Enc
with which to provide the children
with Shoes and clothing.
Whitaker, it was learned yesterday,
two weeks ago, had been pronounced
a we'll man from the pneumonia with
which he was suffering, when he suf-
fered a relapse.
