BarneS's SALARY" from
Journal Company Made
Basis of Arguments

Tic big developments of the day IN
the Barnes-Rooscyel libel SUIT CEN
tered around the revelations of the
minute book and check stubs of the
Journal Company, of which the plain
tiff is president.
From the minute book was read to
the Jury the record TO an assignment
made to the Journal Company by Mr..
Barnes Of SALARY" he got from James
B. Lyon at the time the latter held the
contract for state printing.
1--WE want that assignment" declared
John VI. Bowers, turning to Mr.. Will
lam N. WINS, counsel for Mr.. Barnes,
with the air of a man about 70 touch
CT q can of gunpowder under some
body. The paper could not be found
and finally Mr.. WINS said they would
admit the assignment referred TO had
been made in conformity TO the resolu-
ton appearing in the minute book.
This was the resolution. which would
appear to have a most vital bearing on
the final outcome of the trial:
Barnes SALARY" Resolution.
"Whereas, William Barnes, jr., has
offered TO assign TO the Journal Com

"Be it resolved, that the Journal

That William Sulzer wanted TO be
Governor last year was one Of the few
concessions the Barnes attorneys
made to-day. They let the Coloneis

The courts final ruling, however, made
that unnecessary.
Justice Andrews would not permit
Colonel Roosevelt TO tell what he knew
about "Packy" McCabe and his rela-
iiore with Sir. Barnes. Facts about
local conditions in Albany, the court
decided. could hardly have justified
in the mind Of Colonel Roosevelt the
precise charges he made against Mr.
Barnes.

state Chairman, was in court to-day

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

Is there any money in the corn crop? Hardly. if we take as \ basis the average acre yield ill Arkansas of l9 bushels. But when we take into consideration that individual farmers and members of boys corn clubs are securing yields varying from 60 to l3n 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 from the drouth. Let us make certain this year, if possible, that this does not 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 cheaply 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 1t has been a custom to break the land six or seven inches deep some time In February A couple of days before planting the field Is run over with a disc harrow tapping onehaf. This is especially desirable If the soil has be- come packed. Sometimes a 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 slant may be used about week or ten days later Recklessness In this practice however. tends to thin out the stand Cultivation should begin whom the rows can be followed easily, and should be repeated so far as practSca ble once every ten days. Especially 1t is desirable to cultivate after a pack ing rain.
 As the crop develops the cultivation should gradually become more shallow as not to disturb the roots of the corn plants. In a dry season a continua- tion of this practice until the crop is fin the roasting ear stage gives best results.
