lated with the soil method or by the pure culture method.
 The clovers may be divided into three classes. First, those which live for two or more years as Red, Alsike, White or white blossomed sweet clo- yer. Second summer annuals or those which are seeded in the spring and mature and die in the fall as Japan clover. Third, winter annuals or those which are sown in the summer or fall and mature and die the fol. lowing summer as Bur and crimson clover. Each group has it's place in the cropping system.
 Red Glover lasts for only two years under ordinary conditions unless it is allowed to reseed itself. It makes it's best growth on clay loam soil Good drainage and liberal supply of lime in the soil is essential The usual rate of seeding is 12 to 15 pounds to the acre when seeded alone or 6 to s pounds pere acre in mixture with grasses Best results are usually se' cured by seeding in September, spring seeding may be done, but then there is danger of damage to the young plants by the weeds or dry weather during the summer.
 Alsike clover is adapted to soils of a wet nature. It will grow on soil that is deficient in lime better than any of the other clovers. It is often seeded In permanent pastures or meadows along with grasses on soils that are poorly drained. The usual rate of seeding IS 6 to pounds per acre.
 Japan clover or Lespedeza is nat ural growth especially in the south and eastern part of Arkansas. It does we'll in mixture with Bermuda, or after oats and wheat. Seeding should be done the latter part of February or March The seed may be broad casted on the Bermuda sod or on the wheat or oats and narrowed in. on wheat or oats seed at the rate of a bushel per acre. Four or five pounds per acre will serve as start on Der

Air Tank Plays Valet.

When the safety valve on the air tank of the launch Gladys stuck, Dyke Thorpe, who was snoozing on the deck, had all the clothes blown off his body by the explosion and was hurled naked but uninjured into the sea. So great was the force of the explosion that the heavy deck blanks were torn up and the engine and cabin entirely demolished
 The Gladys, a seagoing launch, 35 feee long, is heavily constructed. The air tank which caused the damage IS a small one used for compressing air to blow the siren. Nothing but the hulk of the boat was left after the ex- plosion, and rope being secured, the remains were lowed ashore by Thorpe
 Thorpe's companion, William Sou der, who was in the cabin at the time of the explosion, was uninjured.-Los l Angeles Times.

muda It will reseed itself each year if given a chance.
 Crimson and Bur Glover should be grown more than they are. They grow when other crops are not grow ing. They hold the soil from wash ing. Plant foods that would be lost during the winter and spring are taken up and retained. They furnish a splendid pasture during the spring and sometimes during the winter. 1T pastured off or turned under they fur nish large supply of humus and nit rogen to the soil. Both of these clo- vers should be seeded in the last 3f August or September. They may be broad-casted in the cotton or corn middles and covered with a harrow. The rate of seeding Is 15 pounds of crimson clover and two or three bush els of bur clover in the bur per acre. A bushel of bur clover in the bur weighs ten pounds.
 Bur clover is particularly adapted for growing with Bermuda. It fur nishes pasture during the winter and spring when the Bermuda is not green. Part of the bur clover seed have hard coat so that they may lay in the ground for several months before sprouting. Because of this fact the crops will reseed itself from year to year when once started If some of It is allowed to seed each spring. If sown late bur clover seed often germinate poorly. MT. A. D. McNair has found that if the seed are soaked in cold water, put in boiling water for just one minute, put back in the cold water and sown, the per centage of germinatlon will be in, creased many times.

III. HARVESTING FRUIT.
J. $. Knox, Extension Horticulturist
 University of Arkansas.

One of the most important ques tions that comes to every fruit grower is, How can 1 harvest my crop o1 fruit so that l can get the best possi ble price for it?" The answer to the question comes in knowing when 10 pick and how to pick and the best methods of grading and packing, then using these methods. One can use the most up-to-date methods of growing fruit, and may have the most perfect fruit possible and still fail to get a good prIee for the fruit if he falls down on the above factors. Putting any and every kind and grade of fruit upon the market soon causes a gut on the market, and herein is deter mined largely the success or failure in marketing the crop.
 When to Pick: How can I know when my fruit is ready to pick is a question that comes to every young or inexperienced orchardist The an. swer to the above question can be found in one or more of the following way lOI dPpICo. Ait by liS tOioi LII the fruit. When fruit becomes about the characteristic color for that va. riety it is generally, though not al ways, ready to pick. Varieties like Gano, Arkansas Black or Black Twig can be judged by color largely. @ Ease of separation of fruit from the tree. If ready to pick the fruit Will separate easily by gentle side pres. sure or uplifting of the fruit This is a very good method for all varieties (3) By color of the seed. This meth. cd is often used for green colored va. picking when the seed become real brown in color. (4 By flavor ol the fruit When a fruit develops the flavor that is characteristic for that
The Huttig news., 1916-01-08
variety. it is ready to pick.

variety, 1t IS ready to pick.
 With peaches the color and springi ness of the fruit is the principal guide for picking. By taking a peach in the hand and exerting a gentle pressure, if ready to pick, there will be a de. cided springy feel. You will observe that green peach is firm and does not possess this characteristic feel. Take green peach in one hand and enc that is ready to pick in the other and exert about the same pressure on each. Note the difference.
 For fruits like cherries, plums. grapes and strawberries, color is per. haps the chief factor in determining when they shall be picked
 Pears are generally picked rather green and allowed to ripen in the shade
 How to Pick. The best method of picking depends upon the kind of fruit to be picked and that method enables one to gather the fruit with the least amount of labor and with the least bruising or rough handling is essen. tially the best method. If trees are headed low and kept properly pruned the fruit will not be so high from the ground, consequently the use oi high ladders will be largely dispensed with.
 The picking receptacle should be as smooth as possible to prevent any bruising of the fruit, and if the recep tacle has a padding or burlap or simi lar material, it will help a great deal here. Place the fruit in the receptacle gently. Avoid all rough handling as much as possible. In picking, try to avoid the breaking off of fruit spurs
 Grading: All fruit should be care fully graded before packing. Here Is one of the most essential points fol the fruit grower in Arkansas to ob serve Too often it is the case that the baskets are carried in the or chard and filled with the fruit just as It comes from the trees. Many times this last summer in my work in the orchards of the state l found this to be the case. These baskets are not repacked, but are placed in the car ir that shape. There are a few men however, who are grading their frult and these men are the ores who get 8 profit from the business. To be sure it is more expensive but the higher price received for the fruit far more than meets this extra expense. Then too, it is such satisfaction to have things look attractive and know that the buyer will be well pleased witt his purchase.
 Packing: If you have fancy frui put it up in a fancy package. It vii pay you as it has done thousand ot growers in the Northwest. Appear ance sells thousands of bushels e fruit every year so make your frui look attractive by putting it in the standard box. These boxes must Dt new and clean and If they are linet with newspaper and each individua fruit is wrapped in tissue paper it vii add a great deal to the appearance.

blI. CLOVER
Earl Fitzpatrick, Extension Agrone
 mist, University of Arkansas.

A large variety of clovers can be grown in Arkansas. The acreage should be increased many times. The clovers belong to that class of plants known as soil builders. They have the power of using the free nitrogen from the air. This ability is due 10 the action of certain bacteria which form nodules on the clover roots. Il these crops are grown and pastured off, turned under, or fed to livestock and the manMre returned nitrogen VIII be added to the soil. When any ol the clovers except Japan clovers art sown on land where they have neve

1915, the Census Bureau announced To-
day In its first report giving statistics
called for by the new law requiring
quarterly reports of raw and prepared
cotton and linters cotton waste and
hull fiber consumed in the manufacture
of gun cotton and explosives of all
kinds.
After careful canvass the Census
Bureau compiled returns from 17S es-
tablishments which showed that 244.-
0oS equivalent 500-pound bales of
bleached cotton fiber were used during
last year. 144.sss bales during the quar-
ter ending March 81, 1916, and 142,-
725 bales during the quarter ending
June 80. 1916.
Prepared cotton held by manufactur-
ers of explosives at the end OF last
year amounted to S0,4S3 equivalent 500
pound bales, at the end of March 1898
bales and at the end of June 22, Se5
bales 1t is disclosed by the reports to
the bureau that the loss in bleaching
cotton for nitrating purposes varied
considerably. but was between 80 and
40 per cent Based on an average loss
OF 35 per cent. the gross weight OF
cotton fiber used in explosives manu-
facture was $4,000 equivalent 500
pound bales last year. 223oO0 bales for
the first quarter this year and 100000
bales for the second quarter. While a
few explosives manufacturers were
found to bleach all or part of the
cotton fiber used by them 1t appeared
to be the general practice to purchase
the fiber already prepared. SO the sta :
tistics were prepared on that basis.

STATE SAVES MANY
DOLLARS IN WEST
Bank Receivership Report
Shows That New Plan Works
to Advantage of Depositors

Many thousands of dollars have
been saved for depositors in Pitts
burgh bank which was closed and its
affairs administered by the State
Banking and Attorney Generals de-
partments. the receivership report
Just filed having shown a condition
which Is unique. AS a result deposit
ors in the Pittsburgh Bank for Saw
ings, closed December 90, 1915. by the
State Banking Department, will share
in the distribution Of $3,1S1,855.73,
the inventoried valuation of the pres
ent assets of the institution, accord
ing to the first and partial account of
G. H. Getty, permanent receiver, filed
by Deputy Attorney General Horace
S. Davis. acting for Mr.. Getty. This
having been $5,238,S6S.01, or SO per
cent.
During the period the institution
has been in the hands of the deputy
attorney general and the receiver, the
earnings have amounted to $122,-
2O0.88, after all the expenses have
been paid. In addition to this the
from assets, thought worthless, $109,-
30S.44. These were not included in
the original inventory made of the
assets. The receivers account shows
a gain in conversion from inventory
to date, Ss2,175.
The Pittsburgh Bank for Savings re-
ceivership has established a record in
keeping down expenses in liquidating
the affairs of the bank. To date the
depositors have received $5,238,S6S.01,
while the total cost of the receiver
ship. up to August 1, 1916, including
rent, clerical help. State and federal
tax, as well as the receivers fees and
incidentals, was S20,75O36.
Under the old system of receiver
ships, 1t would have been a year or
two before the depositors received any
of their funds. The receivership ex-
penses would have totaled at least
s250,000. Instead of receiving from
to per cent. the. usual fees in
bank receiverships Receiver Getty is
allowed but $40 day for his services,
while Deputy Attorney General Davis
does not receive any fee aside from
his salary paid him by the State.

Christian Science Healer,
W. V. Cole, Wins New Trial

Albany, Oct. 5. - Willis Vernon
Cole, the New York city Christian
Science practitioner who for four
years has been fighting his conviction
of the Illegal practice of medicine
was granted new trial by the Court
OF Appeals. The decision is regard
ed as substantial victory for the
Christian Scientists.
The court in substance decided
that while the practice of Christian
science in the treatment of bodily ills
would have come under the definition
OF the practice of medicine, the ex
Septlon contained in the medical
license law to the effect that ito Nc
visions should not prevent "the prac-
tice or the religious tenets of any
church" was broad enough to include
the methods used by the followers of
Snrisllan science and therefore ex-
empted them from the requirement of
passing medical examinations and be-
Ing admitted to practice as physicians.
