will resurrect a certain bill of two
years ago regulating automobile traf-

son, who disappeared from his home
ten miles west of Balfour some two
years ago, were found in straw stack

identified by means Of fragments of

Chas. Swanson, who was recently
converted while attending a meeting
at the Nazarine Mission in this city,
has forwarded Uncle Sam a draft for
$998.6O, to swell the conscience fund.

money back to the government. He
sold his farm at Donnybrook for $4,-

ity of the blooms relieve the trees from the weight of the excess fruit, but it also leaves the entire vital strength of the tree to the percent age that is left, and results in a much higher grade of fruit than can otherwise be expected.
 While damage has occurred in a few places, it can be given as the general condition that fruit trees of the two states can still stand the loss Of a large percentage of their blooms and buds without any detri- ment to the yield of this year
 Basket and crate factories of the two states are running on full time in expectation of a record crop, and they are assured Of a large return when harvesting time comes.

IS THERE ANY COIN
 IN THE CORN CROP?
WITH CONSERVATION OF MOIST. URE, DEEP FLOWING AND CARE FIJI CULTIVATION EXPERi- MENTS PROVE THERE IS.

Is there any money in the corn crop? Hardly, ii We take as basis the average acre yield in Arkansas or 19 bushels. But when We take into consideration that individual farmers and members of boys corn clubs are securing yields varying from 60 to 130 bushels to the acre, one is tempted to believe that the trouble lies in our methods and not with the corn crop. Last season most of us suffered rom the drouth Let us make certain thiS year, if possible, that this does rot occur again. and that our crop Is prof. itable.
 Conserve Moisture.
 Moisture can never be conserved to better advantage or can cultivation be done so quickly or eheaply as before the crop is planted. Deep blowing and an occasional use of the subsoiler is desirable In order to provide suit able reservoir for absorbing the spring rains
 On the Experiment Station farm it
  six or seven inches deep some time in February A couple of days before planting the field Is run over with disc harrow tapping one-half. This IS especially desirable if the soil has be- come packed. Sometimes heavy spring toothed harrow is used to smooth over the work of the disc. This brings any remaining weeds out of the ground and exposes their roots and destroys any tender stemmed weeds that may be pushing to the surface.
 Prepare Before Planting.
 Where level planting is praticed the section harrow with teeth in a slant may be used about a week or ten days later. Reeklessness in this practice, however, tends to thin out the stand. Cultivation should begin when the rows can be followed easily. and should be repeated so far as practioa- ble once every ten days. Especially it is desirable to cultivate after a pack ing rain.
 As the crop develops the cultivation should gradually become more shallow as not 10 disturb the roots of the corn plants. In dry season q =eontinua- tion of this practice until the crop is in the roasting ear stage gives best results
