'NO-ACCIDENT' SHOW
CLAIMS TWO VICTIMS

New Orleans, June 1.-Two fire
sons, most Of them firemen are more

engines and five automobiles are
wrecked, all as the result of a grand
series of collisions staged in down
town streets here yesterday, which

The fatal and other injuries, and
the destruction Of the vehicles, are
the net result of "No-Accident

the occasion, was to be the scene of

posed to clear the streets" as the
firemen made their run.
Spectators, however, thronged the
streets, and the business district was

skidded, wiped smaller cars from
their path, and then collided. Many

Hubbard, would function automatic

CHARGES ARE MADE
AGAINST RICE MILL

Stuttgart, June 7.-Evidenee was
introduced in the Senate hearing
here yesterday purporting to show
a local mill had sold toll milled rice
belonging to farmers. through a sub
Esidiary company, for Il profit of one
Senator Caraway said this was the
most important testimony that he
and Senator Ransdell had heard.
o. A. McGiH. member of the firm
of McGill Bros. local rice dealers,
testified that his firm purchased ap-
proximately 10 cars of rice from the
Standard Rice Company, the largest
company operating mills here, lIons-
ton and Beaumont, Tex He said
he contracted for rice with the mill
here, that rice was loaded on cars
the rice was rendered him by the
Houston Rice Company. and signed
by the manager of the Standard Rice
Company AT the request OF the
1oiuiiittct MCNtlu pToUutfu IL Sa les
contract for 70 cars, and compared
it with the settlement sheet sent
by the mill 10 growers of rice A
discrepancy of one-fourth to one
half cent a pound between the price
McGill Bros. paid and the price the
mill returned to growers was shown
Apparently the difference was alb
sorbed by commissions of the Hous-
ton Rice Company, which is alleged
to be subsidiary of the Standard
Company
Only testimony of the growers
was taken yesterday, although al
representative of the Stuttgart Mil
Company offered the committee any
data desired
Senator Caraway said that uues-
tionnaires would be prepared and
sent to the mill The committee
will attempt to trace designated
lots Of rice from growers to whole
salers, showing profits made by mills
and alleged interests on each lot.
In a statement following the hear
ing, Senator Caraway said. "Ap-l
parently there is misunderstand-
ing of exact powers of this commit

"Our investigation will include
inquiries into methods and costs
of producing rice. We will endeavor
to ascertain the justices of milling
charges, and if mills have been
dealing fairly with producers. Wei
will also try to find out if the Rice
Growers Association has made in
telligent efforts to procure for the
growers the best market prices OBJ
Where evidence discloses any vio-

CORN IS RUINED BY
DEEP CULTIVATION

Little Rock, June 7.-lmpropei
methods OF cultivation are running
ID large part of Arkansas corn crop
lit was declared by H. NJ. Cottrell
lagriculturist of the Arkansas Prof
Iitable Farming Bureau of the Little
Rock Board of Commerce
"a farmer who came to see me
this morning summed up the situa-
ton as well as it could be summed
up" said Mr. Cottrell yesterday
"He said that if farmers continue
their deeD cultivation of corn they
are going to ruin their crop. Next
fall the farmers. bankers and sup
ply merchants all will swear that
1t doesn't pay TO raise corn in Ark
ansas. Next spring the farmers will
be right back where they will be
planting nothing but cotton again
Most corn was planted this year
while the ground was wet. Conse-
Wently ii came up slowly and was
sickly and the feed roots extended
close along the ground close to the
surface. II should have been cul-
tivatod shallow with Small shovels.
That would have made mulct that
would have held the moisture.
'FBrlt instead many farmers in
cnltivating are tearing up the
ground with large shoyels. This
cults Off half the feed roots right at
a time when the plant needs all the
moisture it can get because of the
long drOuth. Also it let's the hot
air down to the remaining feed
roots and this kills them. Such a
practice means Il general failure of
the corn crop"
Mr.. Cottrell said that yesterday
morning he examined a lot of corn
in a bottom land section of Pulaski
county. He followed out the feed
roots and found that corn 80 inches
tall had feed roots that were as
long rs the plant was high. These
roots had spread out Just below the
surface OF the soil Had the ground
been dry when the corn was plant
cd the roots would have gone deep
er. Mr.. Cottrell said.
In this field he found negroes
with a big heavy plow
which was tearing up the feed roots
right at Il time when the corn
needs the most moisture.
Farmers should examine the
roots. If they are four inches below
tho surface, then the farmers should
cultivate not more than three inches
deep said Mr. Cottrell. 81 often
have found that corn three feet
high will have roots that extend
clear across the next row.
The best system of cultivation
is the one that we found practiced
on the farms of Georgia and the
Carolinas on our visit there last
summer When it is hot and dry
these farmers cultivate every other
row, cultivating as shallow as pos
sible. This cuts off some of the
roots. but only on one side In
live days they cultivate the other
alternate rows. BY this time the
roots on the other side have been
renewed
Where corn in this state has
been cultivated shallow it has not
been injured by the drouth and
looks good. Ii 81 the method of cul-
'ivation that is ut fault, not the
corn"
