Their gardens now contain toma-
toes, corn, okra, beans and melons,
with possibly a few other vegetables.
They expect to SOW turnips the first

Ing: In blowing for turnips prepare
an extra strip rod or 90 wide,
Manure the land heavily, pillow deep

l(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Elk

/, Young turkeys should be fed but fed
lsparingly as soon ais they are strong
enough to stand up and come out from
under the mother turkey.
They should be fed on the yolks Of
lhard-bosied eggs for the first two OF
three days, after which time their feed
dshould consist Of equal parts OF egg
bread, cottage cheese and finely
chopped-up onion tops and onions.
For the flrst four or five weeks they
should be fed at regular intervals Of
two or three hours, after which time
they should be allowed free range with
the mother turkey, and fed. literally
every night on equal parts OF wheat
and cracked corn.
In order to develop the best turkeys
for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
markets they should be fed daily, the
preferable time being~la in the eve
ming, This will cause them to com
up close to the buildings To roost
where they will be less liable TO be

TO INVESTIGATE RIVER WHICH IS BEING CONSIDERED AS SITE
 FOR NITRATE PLANT.
TO EXAMINE OTHER SITES
1t Is Said Government Will Not Put the Entire Sum of $2o,oo0,ooo h. to One Plant, But Will Build
 Several of Them.
Hot Springs


 According to letters received at the Hot Springs Business Mems League, Major Charles Fiske, in charge of the government engineers for this district, will be in Hot Springs in the near future, accom- panied by an engineering corps, to make survey of the Ouachita river to ascertain the water power that may be developed, in the event the government should build one of the nitrate plants on the Ouachita river site, which is being urged by the war department by Dr. Charles H. Brougn and others interested in getting this industry into this state
 Major Fiske's letter indicated the war department is viewing seriously the Ouachita river claim. There is already a survey made by the govern ment on file in the war department, which, however, was made for river navigation purposes. The war depart ment also will receive the surveys and reports made by the Garland Power and Development Company, in which c. c. Kavanaugh of Little Rock is largely interested. The report of the engineers shows that more water power could be developed on the Ouachita than that at Mussel Shoals, Ala, the strongest competitor for this industry, and with such a report, which has been passed upon by many of the largest engineering firms Of the country, 1t is believed the govern ment will be convinced of the superior claims of this location
 It is said that over 105,000 horse power can be developed here, which is more than adequate for an under taking of this nature, since it has been shown that the nitrate plant To- cated at Niagara Falls requires but 15,000 horsepower.
 The receipt of Major Fiske's let ter has caused an increase of opti- mism locally, since it seems to be generally understood the government will not put the entire sum of S20,00O,- 900 into one plant but build several, in which event Hot Springs has a most excellent chance of obtaining one of the nitrate plants
