RAILWAY CROSSINGS MUST
BE MADE AT RIGHT ANGLES

LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 4-The House
yesterday afternoon passed an impor-
tant bill which originated in the Sen
ate, having been introduced by Sena-
tor Ponder. Its purpose is set forth
in the following preamble:
Whereas, the loss of human life
nd the destruction OF property by
collisions between railroad trains and
highway travellers at crossings of pub
lie roads and highways over railroad
tracks has assumed such enormous
proportions as to require legislative
action to reduce and minimize such
accidents and
Whereas, it will tend to promote
the safety of the public at such cross
ings to be constructed over railroad
rights-ofway and tracks at right
angles in tending to decrease the
speed of automobiles and other vehi-
cles approaching such railroad rights
of,way and tracks, and also in giving
to the driver of such automobiles and
other vehicles better opportunity Of
observing the approach of any train
from either direction"
1t is therefore provided that public
highways crossing railroad tracks
shall do so at right angles.

According to reports from different
sections of the mining district, it is
generally conceded that with the open
ing of spring and a stronger ore mar
ket that general activities will be re-
sumed throughout the North Arkansas

into the country thousands of dollars
that are now going elsewhere.

The Morning Star mine, which was
the first real mine to be developed in
the North Arkansas field and has per-
haps shipped more ore than any other
mine in the district, is being cleaned
up and overhauled preparatory to re-
suming active operations again in the
near future The Morning Star has
been closed down for some time, but
recently a new crowd acquired control
of it and we understand that they in
tend to push development to full ca
pacity, which will make it again the
largest producer in the district.
The Harrison times., 1920-02-07

Now that the Big Hurricane is again
in the producing line, turning out its
usual quantity of high grade cOncen-
trates, it is more than likely that other
mines in that district will take on
renewed activity and start things
booming again in that section.

Leaders Organize 10 Improve Livestock.

Ledueis WBdhlLe tU ihpiVS h'N0'VS"'
The leaders in the development
of the livestock industry in Tenn
essee recently met at Nashville
and formed an organization
which promises to be of great IN
huence in furthering the live
stock interests of the State. The
organization will be known as
the Tennessee Livestock I'M
provement Committee. F" DR.. M.
Jacob, State Veterinarian, was
elected chairman; E. E. Miller,
editor of the Southern Agricul-
turist, vice-chairman and M. O..
Cooper, secretary of the Tenn
sssee Beef Breeders Association,
secretary.
Il was the opinion sensed at
the meeting that this committee
would meet once a month for the
suppose of coordinating the ideas
and efforts of all the livestock
workers and to serve as a clear
ing house, that cooperation be
effected and that duplication of
effort be eliminated.
TOO wide a gap exists be-
tween the feeders of Tennessee
and the purebred breeders of the
state" said L. A. Richardson,
specialist in animal husbandry
Of the University of Tennessee.
He pointed out that there is a
list Of 800 purebred beef sires
new in the hands of his depart
ment which breeders are unable
to dispose of. At the same time
there are hundreds of herds oi
cattle headed by scrub sires.

Good Schools Benefit A Town.

Probably no single feature OF
community life is more helpful
in attracting people than good
schools. People will go a long
way to locate in a town having
good educational facilities and
they will refuse a good many at
tractive chances rather than
leave such a community.
Good schools are attained in
two ways:
by a willingness to pay
taxes enough so that competent
teachers can be hired. You cant
get good teachers if you won't
pay them as much salary as you
would a scrub-woman.
BY an intelligent interest on
the part of the citizens. Many
cities spend a lot of money on
their schools, but they don't get
results. Often the school money
is controlled by politicians. and
the educational standards are
low.
You can't buy good education
as you buy meat or flour. The
citizens have got to put sone
heart and personal interest into
it. Elk.

Disking Crops Into Soil Proves To Be Salts

In reply to an East Tennessee
Farmer regarding the turning
under of soy beans and peas to
be followed by crimson clover. }.
C. McAmis, agronomy specialist
Of the Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee has the
following to say:
I'VE have found it a good prac-
tice on the Experiment Station
Farm to disk the beans and peas
into the land if the growth is not
too heavy. We believe that the
practice of disking the crop into
the soil gives equally as good re.
selts as turning, if it can be pro.
perly done. Ordinarily it pays
much better to cut the crop fol
hay, feed and return the manure
to the land, than it does to turf
the crop of beans or peas under
Soy beans and peas add yer!
little to the land if they are Gu
for hay and if the manure is no
