that three winters ago the farmers of

TRUCKERS TO ship
CAR OF POTATOES
First Consignment to Leave Para
gould Under Direction of Re-
Gently Formed Organization

(From Tuesdays Daily Press)
The Greene county Marketing
Association, recently organized in
this city with Chas. Benton presi-
dent, Tom Bentley secretary, and
Geo. o. Light treasurer, will ship
car load of Greene county Irish
potatoes within a few days. The
marketing association is working
in connection with the Ozark Fruit
Growers Association, with head
quarters at Rogers, Ark. This as
ISOLATION has agents in all the
principal cities where the products
of Arkansas orchards and truck
farms can be profitably disposed of.
The local association loads a car
of garden or farm products here,
notifies the Ozark Fruit Growers
Association at Rogers, and it in
turn takes charge of the shipment,
consigning it to the market where
there is a demand for that particu-
lar product. The responsibility of
the local association ceases when
the car is loaded here and the as
ISOLATION at Rogers is notified. The
remittance to the local association
comes from the head office at Rog-
ers.
Secretary Tom Bentley says the
plan is going to work admirably
and will furnish a solution to the
big truck farming problem here
getting the products to desirable
markets in the shortest time and in
the best possible condition. The
local association now has eighty
members and new ones are being
added every week. The member
ship fee is only twenty-five cents,
which entities the member to ship
the products of his orchard, gar
den or truck farm with similar
products grown by other members
of the organization.

THREE CROPS OF ALFALFA.
Two crops of alfalfa already have
been cut from the older fields on
the farm, and the fields planted
last fall will soon be ready to
cut a second time. A third crop
will be cut from the old hay ground
this week. On the farm is cotton
from few inches high to big
blossoming plants. There are corn
fields still being planted and 9TH
er corn almost in roasting ear"
The other large field crop is sor-
ghum. This will be used in making
molasses for use at the institution.
The officials predict a crop" of
$4,000 gallons. They say that with
a fair amount of rain the farm
should produce close to 5000 bush
els of corn and 600 bales of cotton
this year.
Not the least of the crops are
the gardens. The garden at one
camp contains more than 2S acres,
but no weeds, and each camp has
a fully equipped, up-to-date display
of growing vegetables. One war
den estimates the crop of beans in
the garden at his camp at 400
bushels. There are more than 100
acres of sweet potatoes on the
farm. The vegetables in the gar
dens include: lettuce, radishes,
cabbages, tomatoes, beets, peas,
beans, okra, egg plant, mustard,
parsnips, carrots and others. There
are more than 200 acres of Irish
potatoes on the farm this year.

GEORGIA GOVERNOR
CALLS OUT TROOPS
Detachment of State Militia Guards
Executive-Police Unable to
Restore Order.

Atlanta, Ga, June 22.-(Special
to The Press. AS a climax to the
intense excitement which has pre-
vailed in Atlanta since yesterday
afternoon when Gov. Slaton com
muted the sentence of Leo NJ
Frank from death to life imprison-
ment, troops were called out
early this afternoon and are now
guarding the office of the chief ex-
ecutive, against whom repeated
demonstrations have been made by
bowling mobs. During the entire
ty of last night and all through
the morning bands of discontents
who believe the governor did wrong
in committing the sentence paraded
the streets, and, although efforts
were made by the city authorities
to prevent demonstrations, the po-
lice were unable to quiet the MUIR
murings. Fearing that in despera-
ton an effort might be made upon
the life of the governor, It was
deemed advisable to call out de-
tachment of the state guard. Gov.
Slayton is taking the matter quiet
ly, firm in the belief that in COM
muting Franks sentence he did
what an enlightened conscience
dictated. With the state house be-
ing patroled by troops, it is now
believed quiet will be restored
without any serious outbreak.

HE DOES NOT LOVE
AUDIT COMMITTEE
State Superintendent Thinks They
Are Several Varieties of Po-
litical Crooks.

Little Rock, June Estate Su-
perintendent Cook has issued a
statement in which he says that
recent developments in the special
investigating committees work,
with each member of the commit
tee drawing six dollars a day and
spending nearly all their time at
home only tend to strengthen the
facts so clearly shown by the biased
report concerning the department
of education" He says no one con-
nected with the department has yet
been permitted to see copy of
that report.
Mr.. Cook says several weeks
were wasted in auditing the de-
partment when it could have been
done in two days. 1t cost the state
$44 per day. Mr.. Cook alleges
that when the accountants were
asked about the delay, it was stat
ed the committee members were at
their various homes and the &C
countants had been instructed to
mark time until the the commit
tee had worked out some political
plans" He further says the long
harangue" they published as a re-
port was made up of unjust, I'M
fair and untrue insinuatiOns and
constituted a very apparent effort
to discredit my administrations;
further, that 1.-THE entire report
bore out completely the frank
statement of their auditor that the
committee had instructed him to
discredit this office" which was
accomplished by the publication of
"a long narrative statement of
false and misleading insinuations,
after having wasted more than
$1,000 of the peoples money while
the committee was at home getting

CROPS DIVERSIFIED
AT CONVICT FARM
Twenty Thousand Bushels of Pota-
toes Raised from Part of 1000
Acre Tract Of Land.

Can 1000 acres of land be
farmed intensively?
For the answer see the states
convict farm at Cummins, so miles
southeast of Little Rock, says the
Arkansas Gazette. To most of the
agriculturalists who have seen the
farm it appears that the state is in
the farming business both extern
sively and intensively, and withal
there is diversification. For the
explanation of this seeming paradox
the wardens and commissioners
who direct the work will tell you
that farming 1000 acres is extern
sive; that raising two crops a year
on part of the land may be consid-
cred intensive farming and that
raising more than 20 varieties of
farm and garden products on one
farm can rightly be called diversi-
fication.
10000 BUSHELS OF POTATOES
Just now the 200 convicts on
the farm are engaged in variety
of kinds of farm work. At the
same time wheat is being threshed,
a 10000 bushel potato crop har-
vested and shipped 500 acres of
oats and wheat land being replant-
ed in corn and cowpeas and a doz-
en- other operations, including
blowing hundreds of acres of corn
and cotton. So busy is the season
that all available men and work an
imals are being pressed into ser
vice. Two of the more patient con-
victs have broken in" four oxen
which they drive to wagon in
hauling on the farm.
At the close of last week 10 cars
of Irish potatoes had been shipped
and there are still 20 cars to be
loaded and shipped, to say nothing
of some thousands of bushels that
were culled out for local consump-
ton" because they were as small
or ssmaller than eggs. These are be-
ing buried in long trenches and
covered with straw The oats
threshed out of the 200 acres plant
ed have yielded so far about 70
bushels to the acre. The officials
expect the whole amount to aver
age that yield. More than 1000
bushels had been threshed Satur-
day. Only a little wheat has been
threshed, but the more sanguine of
the men say it will yield 25 bush
els per acre. There are 800 acres
of it. Most of the wheat and oats
land was planted in corn or cow
peas as soon as the crop was har-
vested. The rest is being planted.
Another example of two-crops-a-
year farming is in some of the nu-
merous corn fields, where cowpeas
