II is interesting TO note the trend
toward intensified farming of late
years in Arkansas. In our opinion the
sooner more farmers adopt this way
of farming the better il will be. Larger
profits Off of fewer acres looks better.
The hill sections of our state are nat
urally adapted To fruit raising and at
present ont in the northwestern coun-
ties the people are proving this by rails
ing the finest fruit TO be had and max
ing more money off of an acre of as
rough land as could he found in Ran
dolph county than is made on the rich
est acre in Black or Current river
bottoms And dairying, too, could be
carried on successfully we believe, as
the hill sections of our home state are
just as well adapted to this kind of
farming as Wisconsin, where many are
growing rich from dairying. Awhile
back the writer happened to travel
through Webster, Wright and Greene
counties in Missouri. As you all know
this is the toughest locality physically
between the Mississippi and the Rocky
mountains. Here we found nice resi-
dences. fine barns, big cars, good roads
modern improvements, etc. These con
ditions we learned were brought about
by dairying, fruit raising, poultry farm
ing and truck farming.

DELAWARE APPLES GOING
TO MARKET

The first car Of Delaware apples
left Dagsboro on Tuesday last,
bound for Montreal, Canada. The
car contained number one and two
grades of Yellow Transparent.
Delaware expects to have one OF
the finest quality OF early apple
crops it has ever produced.
While the quantity this year will
be somewhat less than last, $50
cars, the quality will more than
compensate for the expects d
shortage.
The early apple crop this year I'M
Delaware starts with Yellow Trans
parent, Williams EARLY Red, Fourth
of July, Early Ripe and Red
Astrachans, as the chief varieties.
In many orchards throughout the
state the crop will not be so heavy,
but the trees. are in excellent condi-
tions, showing the effect OF cultiva-
ton, fertilization and spraying.
The fruit at this time is also ap-
parently free from insect injuries
scab and other defects. 1t is sizing
up nicely and is exceptionally clean.

clares there will not be another
June like the one just past for
centuries. June was hotter than the
average July.
The records show an average

grees above normal. Only six OF the

ture above normal.
The hottest day, as the figures
show, was June 5, when the mercury
reached the phenomenal early June
temperature of 1O1 degrees. The
minimum temperature, st degrees,
was recorded June IL. There was
sunshine in Baltimore every day

only 1.O1 inches, which is 2.S3

PRIZE TREE CONTEST

The tree contest, scheduled to
close on July /, is now going so
strong and entries are coming so
rapidly that The Maryland Forestry
Association has decided to keep the
contest open until July 20.
So far the white oaks seem to
predominant, followed by several
other species of oak, tulip popular,
elm, and some 25 other species repre-
scented by one or more trees. From
the entries received, it appears that
many people think that the tree has
to be exceedingly large to be worthy
of. record. Under the terms OF the
contest, the trees are divided into
groups according to their normal
size, SO that large tree OF small
species, such as dogwood, holly,
persimmon, and the like, have just
as good a chance for winning prizes
as the larger trees Of the larger
species, such as oak, elm, and tuiiI
poplar. To date, there have been
no entries for persimmon. cherry
and dogwood, and but one pine
Three counties in the State-Caro'
line, Cecil and Worcester are with
out entries, while Calvert, Mont
gomery, St. Mary's. Wicomico have
but one each to date, June 27th
Frederick County has the largest
number Of entries with 16, pressed
closely by Hartford with Is.
The time is short and every com
munity should get its distinguished
trees in the list of entries. Remem
Der that it does not have to be
tremendously big tree to merit rec
ognition. If it is only a large tree
for it's kind, it has an equal chance
in the distribution OF prizes.

injurious to the stomach. However,
when taken In sensible manner. they
are refreshing and beneficial to the

THE POLITICAL MEDLEY

ager" of these games is not even satisfied with this, but he must take in addition his "rakeoff" It woul1 be better to wipe out every carl game in town, even for cigars, than to permit these tinhorns to continue their preying upon certain class >f individuals who are unable to resist the instinct of "sitting in." Wipe out the tinhorn gambling and auto matically the town is rid of a few at least who then will have to go to work, and not being of that dis DOS tion they will move on to other fields"
 This is a surprising editorial to appear in this nice, clean, much abused town, in the columns of the Chronicle. Why all of this talk if law and order now prevails?
 The inconsistency of this editorial is apparent when compared with the utterances of abuse against those who really want better law enforce ment. I still insist that less political chicanery and more loyal co-op- eration among Alaskans for the per manent advancement of the Terri tory must be attained if we are to make substantial progress. Delegate Sutherland is conscientiously repre- senting us, to the best of his ability and judgment, for the best interests of all, and he is every ready to as s'st to secure needed legislation for the public good, but he is a hard man to coerce or bribe to betray the people. I have yet to hear the first accusation against his honor or if delity from any who have been closely associated with him, but there is determined effort to discredit him, for selfish and political req sons. "Truth dashed to earth will rise again, but error wounded writhes with pain and dies among it's wor- shippers"
