To begin with. the best can be made
OF . poor market by having the hogs
ready at the time when they are most
wanted by that market. This normal
ly occurs during the spring and again
during early fall. Tho September and
October market is usually the highest.
How can the farmer take advantage
Of these facts to the greatest degree?
In the first place. the hog wanted by
the market usually runs between 175
and 225 pounds. Fortunately this is
the most economical weight at which
to dispose Of the hog. Up to this point
his gains are made very cheaply. Be.
yond 800 pounds It is doubtful II I'M

made a profitable business. The hog.
II properly fed, can readily be put upon
the market at 200 pounds in six or sew
en- months. Therefore have the pigs
for the September market dropped in
March. This will require that the
breeding Of the sows begin about the
latter part Of October or November
first, continuing. II necessary. during
the first week in December. The pigs
for the April market should be dropped
In early September. These pigs can
then be weaned before the November
breeding season starts. To have the
pigs dropped in September 1t will be
necessary to breed the sows during
May or early June. Under certain con-

hogs to the 200-pound mark at six
months; however a great effort should
be made to attain this goal, as time
means money. and the longer hogs
are held the greater will be the labor
and overhead charges. The cost Of
feed for maintenance also will be in
creased.

was next with SS,09l for State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction.
W. V. Powell, Industrial Commiss-
ioner for the Cotton Belt, led the list
Of seven for Delegates at large to the
National Democratic Convention,
and Sheriff W. g. Hutton of Pulaski
county was a close second. The other
two members of the Big -Four are
Jerry South of Mountain Home and
Washington d. c., and Judge W. H.
Arnold of Texarkana.
Complete returns from all counties,
which give the choice of the people
for the elegislative session of 1917, dis
close some interesting facts. The first
of these is the comparatively few
members of the House to be returned.
There are only IA members of the
1915 session that will serve next year,
but as l6 members of former sessions
succeeded in convincing the voters
they would be of material assistance
in country salvation, there will still be
quite nucleus from which Speaker
may be chosen. The new members
are not so modest as those of former
sessions in this respect, for already a
number of those who have not had
previous legislative experience, are
letting it be known that they will
accept the Speakership if it is thrust
upon them.
The interest in the Senate of 1917
was apparently not so keen over the
state, for three of the newlyN elected
members had no opposition. Nine of
the recently elected Senators have
had previous experience in law max
ing in the House. Twenty two men,
bers of the Senate are lawyers, one is
a preacher
The House shows in its list, several
new members who have previously
served in the Senate. 1t has been in
timated that the attitude of members
in 1915 on the Sawyer racing bill, had
considerable to do with the failure of
many to return, This is hardly pos
sible, though of the fourteen who
come back, only three voted in favor
of the bill. 1t is also claimed that the
ballot of Others on the statewide pro-
hibition bill also caused many to be
among the missing in 1917. Those
who circulate the report allege that
the people resent the passage Of the
bill, but most of those who came back
voted for the bill, as well as against
the racing measure.
1t has always been that the House
was friendly to the Governor. The
last session came nearer to seeing a
break between the executive chamber
and the House, than at any previous
session, and this was due largely to
interest in the racing bill. The Senate
is often cross ways with the Governor,
but check of the 1917 members
shows Gov c. H. Brough will have
a good majority who will endeavor to
carry out his policies

STATE CAPITOL LETTER

If the plans of the promoters, W. B.
Folsom, of the Brinkley Argus, and
T. Z. Wood, of the Arkansas Rail
road Commission, are carried out, the
finest ArkansaS-on-WheelS train that
has ever left the state, will tour the
east in October.
In 1910 Mr.. Folsom worked out
plan which sent a train to the north,
advertising the resources Of Arkansas.
Other trains, also under the manage
ment of Editor Folsom, later visited
different sections, and thousands of
people who visited them, seeing the
wonderful products of this state, came
to Arkansas,
This train will 60 through Miss
iSsippi, Alabama, Georgia, and then
up the Atlantic seaboard to Wash
ington, passing through the Carolinas,
In Washington representatives, Off
cials and committees from the head
quarters of various immigration
societies of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston will visit the train, and
discuss plans to locate coloniSts in
Arkansas.
In past years individual exhibits
were displayed on the train. This
year the spirit of commercialism
will be dispensed with, and the cities
and counties will be asked to act for
their communities. This plan wilt
enable the promoters to gather the
choicest products, and to thus make
| it a project for the entire state, in
stead Of an individual advertising
proposition.
The total assessment of all real and
personal property in the state for
1915 was $4,03S,305 less than the
total in 1914. This has caused much
comment, but members of the Ark
ansaS Tax Commission declare that
they are not surprised. Il really eX-
pected that it would be much more,
probably ten or fifteen Millions" said
Commissioner Brown, discussing the
falling off in the assessments. at
was due to the period of depression
that prevailed for a time last year,
the influence of the European war,
the low price of cotton, and the
leniency of the Equalization Boards"
The official returns from the recent
primary election show that their were
1895 votes cast against President
Woodrow Wilson. No one else ap-
pears to have been voted for, however,
although one Pulaski county farmer
admits that he voted for Senator
James P. Clarke. 1t is not clear just
what they expected to gain by
scratching the Presidential candidate,
but there were evidently nearly two
thousand citizens of the state who
desired to register their protest
against his foreign policies, his second
marriage, or some other fact they
could not commend.
The unopposed ticket was led by
W. B. Owen, Commissioner Of State
Lands, who received l44,3S2 votes,
being l29 more than cast for Rufus
G. Mcdaniel, for State Treasurer,
and 3,l9l in excess of those cast for
Carroll d. Wood, for Associate Justice.
John H. Page for Commissioner Of
Agriculture, led the opposed ticket
with a total of 90, $50, and J. l.. Bond

First Big Storm OF the
Winter
TRANSPORTATION
NOT HALTED

Hopes OF hdides that shedding
would be good before Christmas and
there would be real Santa Claus
weather for the next week or so. are
bright today as a result of "Old
Boreas'" efforts who began early
this morning TO send out his white
flakes and cover everything with a
fairy carpet. Weather wise folk de-
clared today that the frozen remains
OF the snow storms OF earlier in the
week have made good bottom" for
the present snow fall and winter is
upon US. Reports from different parts
OF the country also indicate that
there will be no iet-up for the pres
ent and that expected cold weather
tonight will give the boys and girls
all they need In the way OF good
shedding.
Santa Claus will not need wheels
this Christmas and an automobile, OF
course, will be out OF the question, il
is is the declaration OF those who are
supposed to be closely within the old
fellows councils. Sleds and skates
will be in order for Christmas pres
ents. Fur coats and mittens also will
come in handy. and Aunt Jane had
better get busy with knitting needles
II she expects the young folk TO be
we'll supplied with covering for their
hands.
Older people, If they are storekeep-
ers, especially dealers IN Christmas
present, will be glad for the reminder
of "Old Kris" and it is expected there
will be a rush of those who have put
on their Christmas shopping until this
late date to get something right away.
Reports from down the ) ate indicate
that Middletown and Lewes are getting
their share Of snow, but as the snow il
damp, II is not drifting, and Is occasion
inc only normal difficulty TO traffic. The
railroads report they are not being inter
fered with in the movement Of trains
Officers of the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company reported they
had two sweepers out today and these

cations indicate It will be colder to-

appears Jack Frost and Santa Claus

.3PER GENT. INTEREST
on SAVINGS DETOSITS
State Bankers Association
Adopts Resolution Ef-
fective April |, 1917
BANQUET AFTER
BUSINESS SESSION

After April I, 1917. three per cent.
interest will be the highest paid on
deposits in the banks OF Delaware. ac-
cording TO q resolution unanimously
adopted at the meeting OF the repre-
sentatives OF fifty-two Delaware banks
az the meeting Of the Delaware State
Bankers Association in the CITY Club
yesterday afternoon. The adonfion of
the resolution was apDlauded bv the
bankers present. The action of tbe
delaware bankers, however. is contin-
gent on the action OF bankers OF the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland.
The resolution, without the lengthy
preamble explaining the reasons for
The change, the need of change and
the modus operandi of the new rule
follows;
Therefore be it resolved that we. the
members of the Delaware State Bankers
Association, do agree that after April /,
1917, we viii not pay, directly or indi.
rectly, more than 3 per cent. interest
on any accounts OF whatsoever kind.
This resolution applies TO all kinds OF
banks and trust companies in Delaware
with the exception only of those mutua
saving fund institutions operating with
out capital stock"
This resolution as adopted and carry.
ing the weight of the approval of the
bankers Of Delaware will be presented
to the bankers Of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland at q meeting which they are
to hold at Easton, Nd. and which mem
bers of the Delaware association are 70
attend. These MARYLAND bankers have
already expressed themselves as heartily
in favor of tho movement and IL Is for
the purpose of protecting the interests
Of the Delaware bankers who live near
the Maryland line that the motion in
cludiug the Maryland bankers was
added.
Some members OF the Delaware as
sociation have already made a trip
through Delaware sounding the bank
ers OF that vicinity as 10 their atti-
tude towards the reduction OF the
present rate OF interest from four to
three per cent. According to William
s. Gordy. of Salisbury, who made the
trip with Otho Nowland, president OF
the Delaware State Bankers Associ-
alton, and William G.. Taylor vice.
president of the Delaware Trust Com
pany and secretary or the association.
u
the counties OF Worcester. Somerset
Wicomico, Kent. Cecil and Talbot In
fact. all on the eastern shores OF
Maryland. are in favor OF the reduc-
tion in the present rate OF interest.
The reason given for the change is
that no bank in the present time Of
easy credit and frequent demand. can
safeguard the interests OF its stock
holders, make safe and judicious in
vestments, pay its employees a living
wage and at the same time pay four
per cent. interest to their depositors
on time deposits.
Il is the intention OF the association
TO carry out the plan as outlined at the
yesterday even IL ten per
cent. of the banks OF the State should
refuse to join in the movement.

Omitted Press 5taff Correspondent
LONDON. Dec. 15.--A steady in-
crease IN sentiment that the Allies
in refusing peace plans, should set
forth their own peace terms was
manifest here today. Notwithstand-
ing the continued illness OF Premier
Lloyd George. e IS known that the
Allies. through the foreign Office,
have already begun an informal sx-
change Of views on the Won Beth
mann-Hoiiweg's proposals.
There arc three Views entertained
as 70 the course which the Allies
should adopt ia answering German
note. based on tho realisation that the
Entente Powers must carefully avoid
the pitfalls OF the Teutonic nations.
Tbs three plans are;
Ftrst--A blunt rejection OF the note.
The advocates OF this course are con-
vinced that this will be the only way
in which 10 prevent the situation be-
inE msnoouvered TO advantage By
Germany. Opponents OF the plan hold
on the other hand. that it would be q
serious mistake not TO meet the issues
raised By Won Bethmsnn-Hoilwog.
secund-That Germany name her
terms on the aHsumpt on that these
terms, Yet to be made known ON
cially, may really be worth consid
ering and might be considered with
out damage to Allied prestige.
Third-That the Allies do not AS
Germany 3 terms. hut detail their owl
sentiments as 20 peace; their term
and condition
Suggestions made in the press an
neutral nations and particularly de
velopment Of such an idea in tn
United States has aided in developini
sentiment for this third course More
over, Il Is seen by news from German,
that the government did not expect
favorable responEe to its proffer
therefore ENGLAND regards the MAR
purpose OF Won -4oliweg's
proposals as manifestiy two-foid-tc
