SWEET CORN

Successful home canning of sweet
| corn depends upon careful selection of
tender, juicy corn in the milk stage.
Corn for canning should never stand
longer than a few minutes after being
/ taken from the stalk. Corn which is
past the milky stage or is stale is very
| difficult to can.
Remove husk and silk Blanch on
the cob by dipping into boiling water
from one to three minutes or until
milk is set Have clean hands, and all
| utensils scalded. Cut corn off the cob.
Pack Immediately into previously boil
ed jars to within one inch of the top,
but do not pack too lightly. Add sea-
sOning (one-third level teaspOonful salt
and two-thirds teaspoonful sugar. to
each pint of corn, and fill jars with
clear hot water Paddle to allow
liquor to penetrate to the bottom Of
the jar and to remove all air bubbles.
Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pint
jars IL hours at Is pounds pressure.
Seal Immediately, cool as rapidly as
possible, but do so in place free from
drafts. Do not put into cold water, as
the jars will crack. When cold test
for leaks and store in cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent process is used,
boil pint jars ~ hours the first day
and one hour on the second and third
days. Loosen covers before each sub
sequent boiling, and seal completely
after boiling. Cool, test for leaks, and
store.
If the single-period continuous boil
ing process is employed, boil for at
least three hours. Seal, cool, test for
leaks, and store.
Take every precautiOn to have good
rubber and absolutely tight jars. Test
for leaks each time jars become cold
and again "A hours after processing.
All jars showing slightest sign of leaks
must be reftted with rubber and re-
prOcessed.
Usually a better-favored finished
corn product can be obtained by drying
the corn instead Of canning it.-United
States Department of Agriculture.

Hon. c. P. Newton, one of the 16
candidates for Representative from
Pulaski county, talks somewhat differ
ent from the usual candidate for that
office.
He declares that too many bills
are permitted to become laws in each
succeeding Legislature.
When it is recalled that he was an
active member of the General Assem-
bly, in three successive terms, from
Lonoke county, back in 1909-11-13, his
words should carry some weight. On
this ie has the following to say:
Thomas Jefferson is quoted as say
ing, The least governed country is
the best governed country and
think that is true now.
"The average new member of the
Legislature thinks it is his duty to in
troduce a lot of bills, but when he be-
comes older and more experienced he
must see that this is mistake.
IF you send me to the General AS
sembly promise now that will put
in much of my time in helping 70
kill bills.
f'It does only harm to pass a lot of
laws that are going to be disregarded
and violated.
Il think | can be useful as a mem
Der, for / have placed behind me that
period of experiment and ignorance
that a new member is handicapped
with. No slick parliamentarian can
put me in a hole in maneuvers upon
the floor. In debate l think | can take
care of myself. / have matched wits
and crossed verbal swords with the,
best of them, and I do not fear this
kind of combat.
81 do not say we do not need any
remedial legislation, or corrective
statutes, for / think we do, and / will
proceed on this theory, but l do say
we need "fewer laws and better laws
trust / may be included among the
four Representatives you will elect"

farmers TO HAVE
A MARKET BUREAU
COOPERATIVE SYSTEM OF MAR
KETING DECIDED UPON AT A
CONFERENCE AT THE CoUN-
TY COURT HOUSE.

Farmers and truck growers from
the Mabelvale, Halstead, Jacksonville,
Ironton. Cato and Levy communities,
and from Badgett and Eagle town
sbins met Saturday in the Pulaski
county court house for a preliminary
organization of a cooperative system
of marketing perishable products from
the farm and truck garden.
The meeting was called by George
R. Ely, Pulaski county farm demon
stration agent; Earl Smith, assistant
county agent, and ]. H. Nicholson,
representing the agricultural depart
ment of the Board of Commerce. Fifty
or more persons were present. The
meeting was called to order by Mr.
Ely. who explained its purpose. J. II.
Tull of the State marketing bureau,
who was secretary of this meeting
also made a speech.
other talks were made by Mr.. Ho-
gan. a poultryman of Cato, and by
Circuit Judge John w. Wade. Mr.. Ho-
gan told of methods employed in mar
keting eggs and chickens at Camp
Pike. Judge Wade told what has been
done in marketing strawberries, pota-
toes and other truck by growers in
the Mabelvale community. He also
explained the advantages of organiza-
ton and of cooperative marketing.
Judge Wade said that three things
had hindered the farmer, ID lack of
capital; (21 knowledge of improved
methods, and 90 ability to market
their products to the best advantage:
that it had been his privilege to or
ganize Pulaski county into federal
farm loan associations and make it
possible to borrow money from the
United States government for as long
as forty years at as low as five per
cent interest; that the farm demon
strators were assisting profltably in
modern methods, and that it now only
remained to cooperate so as to get
proper price for crops. He urged
the necessity of organizing for protee-
ton in price, for uniformity, grade
and sanitation in packing and in order
to supply quality and quantity for
market demands and stressed the fact
that the great Camp Pike market with
its more than 100000 a month was
going to organized farmers of other
states, when this market preferred to
buy at home if we would only organ
lie so that they could patronize us.
Mr.. Tull told the growers present
that 100000 worth of perishable prod
ucts are bought each month for use
at Camp Pike, and said that unless
the growers organize so they can be
dealt with as a body, Camp Pike will
be obliged to buy such supplies from
organized associations in other states.
Some executive or central authority
is needed, he said, to standardize, to
pack properly and to deliver such
Products so they will be fresh and in
sanitary condition.
Those present voted unanimously
10 organize a cooperative marketing
association of growers in Pulaski
county and the adjacent parts of sur
rounding counties. A committee of
seven, with Mr.. Ely as chairman, was
4 selected to prepare constitution and
4 bylaws and to perfect the organiza-
uon This committee will meet soon

NILES ADVANCE FROM MECHANICAL
 AGAINST SOVIET
rrauch and Canadians Take Two Commanding Woods and the British Gain GrOund-New Threat to Enemy.

With the British Army in France, ,uc l6-By a brilliant maneuver, tho French have finally captured "Z'' ,,ood and Damery wood. In these two wooded tracts the Germans have been holding out desperately for several days, realizing the value of these positions.
 The little patches of forest which ore now in the hands of the allies are m the extreme right of the British line and from their eastern borders it is possible to observe closely quite a wide stretch of ground. The allied nosition for several miles on each of the two woods has been materially improved by their capture.
 To the north in the direction of Iacouronne, the lines of the British have also been advanced slightly. Artillery activity continues along the entire front, especially in the new Somme battle area, but the enemy does not seem to desire to launch any extended infantry attacks, even at Rove and Chaulnes, where he is strongest
 It was learned today that since August the Germans have employed S6 divisions on a front of AS miles. Of this number, 21 were in the line at the beginning of the Somme attack, the other l5 being brought in as rein orcementS
 It is learned from prisoners recent .y captured that the British artillery during the past few days has caused considerable destruction within the enemy lines
 The British guns have been special ly active in searching out German ammunition dumps, a number of which have been destroyed. It was partially for doing just this work that such speed was made in the forward movement of the guns.
 From the start of the offensive not 2 moment has been lost in moving up the artillery. That it has been a pay ng proposition is proved by prisoners 
 statements as to the havoc wrought by shell fire.
 Some slight troop movements east ward are reported now and then to the rear of the German lines along the Somme, but they are insufficient 10 warrant any conclusions regarding the enemy's intentions.
