FARMERS IN THAT SECTION SHIP 15o CARS AND RECEIVE THE TRlFLING SUM OF
 $11e,0oo.oo.

The large corporations are not the only melon cutters" The farmers and merchants of the Blevins vicinity this year declared as generous div idend as did any corporation at the melon cutting" period.
 M L. Nelson, member of the mer- cantile firm of Nelson & Co.,, of Blew ins, was in Little Rock this week, pur- chasing a large bill of merchandise, and while here he told of the success enjoyed by the melon growers of that section this year.
 Within a territory of six miles, in the heart of which is situated Blew ins, the farmers raised and shipped 150 cars of canta1oupes and water melons, and received therefor $11S,- 0O0
 MT. Nelson has been one of the prime movers in the industry, and says that it has paid so handsomely that it will be entered into on larger scale in coming years. MT. Nelson says that if other crops are as remu- nerative as the melons, and the pros poets are that they will be, everybody in that neck of the woods will be driv- ing real automobiles before the first of the year.

For genuine comedians, Rube Mar shall, Chattanooga pitcher, who is some pitcher when going right, has ern for some years backed off the boards It is said the players on the Detroit team almost revolted when the Rube was shipped back to the South in the spring, so popular was he in the Northland.
 In the recent glorious series-the scores will convince any Arkansan it was glorious-the Rube took a hefty swing at wide hook, and promptly pulled his forward foot over in the batter's box and carefully built a mound of earth around it so he could not putt it away again. He was called out on the third strike and, turning to the umpire, made as courtly a bow as one might expect to see at cake walk
 Again the Rube struck out, and on the third swing he murdered a whole lot of atmosphere. He went away back to the bench trying to straighten an imaginary kink from his back He was also victim in the 17-to-0 drub- ping administered the Lookouts Sat urday. He managed to get by one in- ming without being scored upon, which led the Rube to extend his chest and parade in front of the grand stand.
 The Rube is by means nut" and his antics are appreciated by the fans wherever he goes.

The glass was broken over the

thus made, the lock was released.
The sash was raised . part Of the

ANOTHER WARNING.

There il such a thing as swee,
potato weevil, and it is about al
bad 10 sweet potatoes az the boil
weevil upon cotton. There are,
moreover, several ceDters of n
lection 10 Texas.
Last season several ears OF
seed sweet potatoes were brought
from South Texas to a North Lou
isiaDa section, with the result
that there are number of newly
infected fields with consequent
disconragement to the growers.
Afterinfection has been start
ed, among the things to do. is to
procure non Infected seed for fu.
ture crop, and plant upon land
well removed from infected
fields, asking advice from the
State Entomologist az to further
procedure.
In view of these suggestions, |
deem 1t hardly necessary 10 ad
wise planters in non.infected Sec
tiOns TO be careful where they get
their seed potatoes.
Under the curing process now
thoroughly tried out, there seems
no reason why there should not
be enormous extension of the
sweet potato industry, il only due
care ia exercised TO keep the
fields clear of insect pests which
prey upon the sweets.
