LOOKS LIKE KNOCKOUT

Dover, Del, April 5.-The woman suffrage question which has occupied virtually all the available time of the Delaware Legislature since it con- vened in special session two weeks ago, was very little in evidence to- day when the two houses reaSsem- bled after the Easter holidays.
 A few opponents of equal franchise were noticed around the capitol, but they expressed the opinion that the defeat of the ratification resolution by the lower house last week had set tied the question so far as Delaware is concerned. Mrs Henry T. Thomp- son, president of the Delaware Anti Suffrage organization, declared to- night that she had been unable to find a single deserter from the antis,' while suffrage leaders claim they are steadily gaining strength. Mrs. Henry Ridgely, president of the Deleware Equal Suffrage Association reported tonigth that the tour of suf- fragist workers through Kent and Success counties had resulted in sub stantial gains for the cause.

GROWING ASPARAGUS FROM
 SEED IS RECOMMENDED

Best results in growing asparagus from seed are obtained by planting them in small boxes or flat at depth of one half to three fourths of an inch. Grow the plants for one year before setting in permanent bed. This will allow the grower plenty of time to get the outside bed ready. After the lit tie seedlings are well started, plant them in specially prepared plot of land in the open and cultivate thor oughly and often during the growing season. The second year the plants should be set in the permanent bed about two to three feet apart in the rows which are four feet apart. A lib- eral application of rotted manure should be given the bed before plant ing. A crop of lettuce or some other vegetable that natures early may be grown between the rows. Keep free of weeds and grass. In the fall top dress the bed with two or three inch es of routed manure. The third year the stalks may be cut for use. Cut ting should cease about the last of May or the first of June in most sec tions. Varieties such as Palmetto and Argentilo are highly esteemed.
 Asparagus beds may also be started from roots which are purchased from seedmen. Roots will produce edible stalks one year sooner than seed, but in most cases the cheapness of pro- duction from seed offsets this differ ence Further information upon re- quest to the department of horticul- ture, University of Arkansas, Fay etteville.

IGNORING A FAITHFUL HORSE

The city of Great Falls, Mont, has retired on fuil rations and in full ease and comfort a 25-year-old horse that for f7 years has helped pull one Of the fire trucks of the town. In appre- citation of his fidelity the townspeople gave public banquet to "Dewey" dur ing which he was lauded by consider able list of speakers. The mayor is sued a proclamation in which he de less services of Dewey" he should be provided with green pasture and running water in the summer and a warm stall and the food you love when blasts of winter blow and free dom from bride and harness forever"
 Perhaps Dewey" may not have ap- preciated completely all the nice things that were said of him, but somehow or another we feel that in | his own way he had some conception of the meaning of it all and that his tired body received some thrills there | by. He might not have been able to weigh exactly the ethical value of gratitude, but at leaast he had the ability to discriminate between kind and harsh treatment
 More than any other domestic an- imals have horses and dogs an almost intelligent understanding of and af- lection for humans. Their loyalty is really inspiring. No man or woman can be utterly depraved who has a kindly feeling and love floor horse or dog. To treat them with consid- eration makes both man and animal the better. Commercial Appeal

MINED" CORN BRINGS LOWER
 PRICE

Farmers in the Southeastern States are losing money because so much of their shelled corn grades mixed according to reports received by the Bureau of Markets, United States De- partment of Agriculture. It grades mixed" because of the large percent age of straw-colored kernels which it contains.
 The demand in this section of the country is for white corn for making meal and grits, and millers will usual ly pay a premium to get it. To class as white" under Federal standards corn must contain at least 9S per cent by weight of white kernels. More than ? per cent straw-colored, yellow red, or any other color puts it in the mixed" class.
 If the corn is husked before she'll ing, ears containing colored kernels can be sorted out and used for feed on the farm. The best way, however to have white corn for market is to plant only pure white seed.

PREPARE REAL SEED BED FOR
 CORN AND COTTON

There is no tillage operation of more vital importance in the produe- tion of a crop especially corn or cot ton, than the preparation of the seed bed, declares Wand H. Sachs, Assist ant Agronomist, University of Arkan- sas.
 Early spring working of the ground to be planted to corn or cotton is an essential. If too much land is beng handled to make early blowing possi- ble the ground should be worked over with disk to loosen up the surface of the soil which will aid in conserv- ing moisture. A delay in blowing Is not quite so serious where the surface soil has been worked up.
 It is a good plan to use the disk before blowing at any time as the disk pulverizes the surface of the soil so that when the furrow slice is turned there is considerable fine ma terial which has been worked up by the disk to filter into the large air spaces which would otherwise be left and would result in rapid drying out
 
 erable organic material in the way Of residues and weeds to be turned under, disking before blowing is of still greater value for there Is tendency for the blow to turn the trash under in one mass and unless there is fine material to work in and around the stems and stalks and make proper contact between the undisturbed sur face soil and the plowed soil, a good water-holding bed is impossible.
 After blowing immediate pulver- izing of the soil is desirable, and ire quent working of the soil, every week or 10 days, should be continued up to the time of planting. This will work down the soil into fine physical con dition, conserve moisture, and kill weeds. There is no better time to kill weeds than before they get well started For this work, the disk is hard to beat.
 Don't wait too long to turn under that winter cover crop that you have growing. It is hard to turn under q green manure crop just about the 1 tliuc NiltI IL lS DcS liltliilS u SiOH more rapidly and when it seems that in the next ten days it will almost 1 double the amount of organic matter to be turned under That green ma nure crop is using up the available plant food very rapidly as well as pumping moisture out of the soil at a rapid rate. If the crop is left on the land too late there will not be sufi- cient readily available plantfood to give the summer crop a good start and unless opportune rains come the soil will be too dry.
 1 In this as in most farm operations, there are two factors which the farm CT must balance that is, the longer the green manure crop grows the more organic matter to turn under and the larger it grows, the poorer the chances for the following crop. It is the necessity of this constant bal ancing of desirable and undesirable steps to take that make necessary thoughtful farming and shows the fallacy of the idea held by some, that all farmer needs is 'strong back.

Smith Valley Cows
Tested for Disease

Dr. j. e. Nelson, OF the Federal
Vetereniary Department in co-opera-
ton with the state in the eradication
Of tuberculosis has just fininshed the
testing of dairy cattle In Smith Val
ley. The following are the results
of his work in that section which when
compared with the tests in other parts
Of the state is remarkably low:
In Smith Valley, the number tested
was 97s, with 36 reactors which is
about 2-3 per cent of the cattle
tested found to be tubercular. SO
herds tested, IL herds reactors.
In the State to December 81, 1920
number of animal tested 531S; reac-
tors 4S3. percentage 9.08.
One locality in this state which
was recently tested showed 1913 per
cent at reactors.
Mr.. Nelson states that no definite
date has yet been set as to the time
that the tests will be made In Mason
Valley.
DR.. Nelson was secured to make
these tests in Smith Valley through
the efforts OF C. C. Tidd. who is presi-
dent of the Lyon County Farm Bureau

The drill passed through the forma-

Several small pockets of oil have
already been encountered at various
depths. Balings from. the hole con-
tain SO much oil and gas they burn
readily in the fire box but are not
practical for fuel on account Of rcu-
