TRUCK GROWERS MEET
Discuss DfversificatiOn and Marketing
 Crops at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The annual meeting of the Washington Truck Growers Association was held at the courthouse here yesterday The pur- pose was to discuss local conditions caused by the low price of the cot ton market, and ways and means of getting away from the one crop sys- tenn.
 The acreage represented at the meeting was 300 planted to canta- loupes, 200 to watermelons and some acreage planted to tomatoes, potatoes and radishes.
 This is one of the oldest associa- tions in southwest Arkansas, and has been successful in growing truck for several years. Talks made by Mr. Garner, local salesmanager and Ark ansas representative of the American Fruit Growers, Inc, of Pittsburgh. He said that in view of fact that freight rates have been increased 30 to B per cent over last seasons rates it forces shippers to ship only the best quality of stock. The success of an associa- itions growing perishables will depend on their packing and shipping only fancy stock and their salesmanager being an experienced man with ability to distribute the crop over wide area and using the markets least effected by the depressed conditions, said MT. Garner. "The main thing for all growers to do first is to raise their living, and then grow truck, cotton and corn," he added.
 This association will be represented at the conference of Arkansas plant CTS, farmers, merchants and bankers at Little Rock January IS and 19.

ION THE EVE OF THE NEW YEAR, 1921.
 An original poem read by Mrs. Anna P Orton at the annual reception of the Ashdown Improve ment Club, December 31, 1921) 1t seems so brief a time since last we came Together in the seasons yearly meet, And yet the twelve-month span has flown. Some few new faces glad we greet; and many more familiar grown In the busy days commune and life's demand. Where chance doth wisely lend hand To kindly steer our hurried trend Upon the way, that friend meet friend lis like journey each on his special mission
 bent Along the beaten path and great highway. And at the nearing of the end We wait The coming of this one last day Together, near the roadway open gate. To know if all is we'll and bid good cheer Upon the new way, and the strange new year: To live again some joys in retrospect and send greetlng on to those who pass-as friend to
 friend.
 Writ in the palm when hand clasps hand The sacred covenant shall surely hold, N And no more beautiful the brightest gem of
 thought,
 UT precious, than this story oft re-told: TWO there were, and three, and four who sought Throughout the measured three score ten
 priceless boon And youth gave but a transient dream while
 life's full afternoon Gave fair it's compensation to the end And in the souls retrieve, this gift betime that
 friend meet friend Oh, little town, you so neighborly and
 blessed
 With all that makes for home and sweet content. The fellowship of hearts that share the common
 good In church, and club, and schOol-our efforts bent Upon the goal, as one great brotherhood little while we stay or go, a few swift years little while of gladness Fates while of tears: Then let us neer forget to pause the way, and

MOST DESIRABLE
POULTRY FLAVOR
Much Depends on Distribution OF
Both Flesh and Masses Of
Fat Over Carcass.

nective Tissues and Lessons Amount
Of Fat--Do Not Feed Fowls
Onions or Garlic.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Desirable quality In the flesh OF
poultry intended for table use depends
on the flavor of the flesh; on the tex
ture; on the amount Of flesh In pro-
portion to the weight of the bird; and
on the distribution of both the flesh
and the larger masses Of fat over the
carcass. Other things being equal, the
flesh Of the females usually is milder
than that of the males, say home
economic specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Caponizing makes the flavor OF cocks
more delicate, tends to produce liner
and less tough muscle fbers, and In
creases the size of the masses Of meat,
especially in the breast.
Effects Of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor. at first
advantageously. but later usually. dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have a flavor too mild to be sat
lsfactory for stewing or fricassee, but
make splendid eating as broilers or
fryers. The delicacy Of flavor usual
ly Is lost In decidedly ole birds. As
the bird grows older, the proportion
of flesh to bone usually increases, at
least up to the period of full matur-
lty. Often the large masses of flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
Exercise affects the flavor and tex
ture of poultry flesh, as In any kind
of meat 1t toughens the fbers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. 1t may also affect the
distribution Of flesh on the carcass IN
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used. ten
der ones. In some birds. notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
troiled. Almost any poultry. however,
can safely be penned for few days
before killing.
The difference between the flesh of
a plump chicken and Of lean one
Of similar kind and age is due princi-
pally to the fat present. The, skill of
the fattener. from the consumers
