ABOUT III ACRES IN THE
CROP HERE.
One GROWER HAS 10 ACRES
GrOUerS Contemplate a Large
acreage In CdRtaIOupes
This Season, h

About allcthe local truckers
have finished planting their rad
ish crops and they are looking
forward to a good harvest.
Radish seed amounting to 372
pounds have been sold by the
dealers here, which, figuring an
average of nine pounds to the
acre, would give a total of for
ty-one and two-thirds acres in
this crop. The radishes will be
ON the market the latter part
of March and if the season is
favorable heavy shipments will
be made from here.
Nearly all members of the
Washington Truck Growers As
sociation express their intention
of increasing their acreage in
cantaloupes this season over
that of last year and several
hundred acres will be planted to
this crop. The land is now be-
ing prepared with this in view.
Most of the growers give
preference to cantaloupes over
radishes because the latter are
much more tedious to gather
and come on the market at a
time when the farmers are busy
preparing for other crops.
G. w. Ellis, station agent,
who is also trucking on the
side, is planting radishes on a
larger scale than any other in
dividual, having put in ten
acres to this crop.

LOCAL SOLON INTRODUCES
POPULAR MEASURE
AMENDING GINNER'S LAW
Objectionable Features of Act
of 1917 Are Done AUdy
With.

A bill amending the Ginners
law, introduced by Representa-
tive ". j. Hartsfield of this
place, has passed both the
Hottse and Senate and will be-
come a law. This bill is in
tended to eliminate the objec-
tionable features of the Ginners
law as has been operative in this
state for the past year and
it has attracted as much at
tention, perhaps, as any meas
ure introduced at the present
session of the general assembly.
Mr.. Hartsfield, who is presi-
dent of the Arkansas Ginners'
Asso., announces the passage OF
his bill in a letter received yes
terday by the Telegraph, which
follows:
Every farmer and cotton
ginner in the state will be glad
to learn of the passage of the
Hartsfield Bill, No. 33, by the
42nd General Assembly. This
bill amends Sections Z, 8, 10, 10,
AZ, As, 46 and so and repeals
Sections AZ, "A, AZ, AZ and 55
of Act 266 of the Acts of 1917
known as the Bonded Ware
house, Marketing and Gin Reg
ulating law. ''
The Hartsfield Bill was a
compromise measure agreed
upon at a conference between
DR.. Sands, president of the
Farmers Union, and w. j.
Hartsfeld, president of the Gin
ners' Association. By its pro-
visions all of the Objectionable
features of the law as regards
cotton ginners have been re-
pealed and all the good features
have been preserved for the ben
eft of the farmer.
"The parts of.the law repeal
ed were those compelling the
ginner to secrue a bond from
some indemnity company be-
fore starting their seasons bus
mess, the sample clause which
forced the ginners to draw two
samples from every bale of
cotton ginned and the section
attaching a heavy penalty on
the ginner for his failure to
comply with the provisions of
the law. All these objectiona-
BILE features have been absolute

As We See The Right.

Does your desire for peace, your pa
triotic love of liberty, your ardor and
passion for your country stand the
pocketbook test?
This will be the question which ev-
cry American must answer, April 81,
when the next government loan is to
be floated and the people again asked
for subscriptions.
There is gone now the emotion Of
war. No longer is there the picture
of the American boy with the Stars
and Stripes fighting on foreign
shore, No longer does his danger and
the menace of ex.Kaiser Wilhelm fur
nish the dramatic appeal to fire the
thoughts and hearts to the point of
enthusiasm.
But of all the loans that have been
floated, this one should be taken with
more joy and more enthusiasm than
any of its predecessors.
Looking back to the dark days
when Germany seemed so far from
beaten and when every day meant
death, danger and destruction, it is
easy to recall the extravaganza prases
which then described the passion fol
peace.
There were fathers who would have
paid fortunes to have ended the wal
one day sooner-if that day their sons
were TO be sent TO the firing front
There were mothers who would have
thought no financial sacrifice TOT
great if the war could have been end
ed in 1918-as it did end Peace ther
seemed to be SO wonderful a thing
and so priceless.
This is the loan for peace and tn,
price we paysfor peace.
The dollars which are needed are t.
be spent to insure US against any fu
ture wars-for they go for the thing
which gave to the world the spectacle
of ali indignant republic turned mil
liant, and that spectacle will war;
any nation for generations that thi
county is unbeatable.
Those dollars go for the boys VIII
are in France and in camp, go TO
their wages and their equipment.
They are needed to pay for the guns
the airplanes, the ships which wer
obtained over night and which speIle
doom for the boche
These are the dollars which brough
peace-that priceless thing whic
ended the era of madness and devas
, tation.
Get ready TO answer to your cor
science. Are you fit to live in peace
Were you worth fighting for? Ar
, you really an American, ready to sal
rifice for American ideals?
The answer is the size of your col
tribution to the Victory loan.
