PRESS ASSOCIATION TRIP.
Larqf llbcrta Peach Orchard at Highland Onr
o< the Principal Sights.
The editor and wife arrived home
Sunday afternoon from the meet
ing of the Arkansas Press Associa
tion at Hope on May 22-23-24 and
an excursion by a large number of
the members to Texarkana. Ash
down, Nashville, Murfreesboro.
Highland and Prescott.
The meeting was the best attend
ed and most profitable of any of re
cent years. The entertainment
accorded the association at Hope
was all that Southern hospitality
could make it and all went to their
respective towns wishing that the
business interests there were as
closely allied and worked together
in the same harmony they do in the
that beautiful city.
Hope has a population or b.uuu.
all the modern improvements, four
railroads and thirteen manufactur
ing plants as well as one of the few
government buildings in the state.
It is surrounded by a rich farming
country and the citizens have the
proper spirit of cooperation which
will make it a large city and busy
business center in a few years.
Texarkana, the gate city, has an
excellent automobile fire depart
ment which gave an exhibition for
the visitors, and a fine park which
is located about three miles from
the city where we were entertained
with a "dutcb" lunch.
Ashdown, the county seat of Lit
tle River county, is a growing town
of 1,200 with a new hotel which
would be a credit to any town four
times its size. Here is located the
f-tr-: big White Cliff Cement Works, one
of the largest in the world.
Nashville, the county seat of
Howard county, is a hustling and
growing city, where we visited the
Glendale Stock Farm comprising
600 acres where some of the best
stock in America are bred. We
had the p easu'e while he e to vis t
with Rev. M. K. Irvin and are glad
to report to his many friends here
that he and his estimable family
are enjoying the best of health.
Murfreesboro, the county seat of
Pike county, while a new town is
fast forging to the front and will
make a city as soon as the diamond
mines near there are opened up.
Nearly all of our party were taken
to the now world famous Arkansas
diamond mines about one mile from
town and shown the formation of
the land and had explained to them
how the mines will be operated
when the proper kind of machinery
is enstalled.
Uur next stop was d,u nignutnu,
on the Prescott & Northwestern
railway which is known as the “El
berta Route.” Here the party
was taken through an Elberta
peach orchard consisting of 3, IOC
acres in a solid block with the rail
road running through the center,
1,800 of which will bear this year.
In this orchard are 300,000 peach
trees and the manager. Mr. Bert
Johnson, expects to ship 600 cars
this season. To keep up this vasl
orchard and market the fruit there
are employed from 200 to 800 mer
the year round. • While we were
there the fruit was being thinnec
to from 600 to 800 peaches to the
tree which insures extra large
peaches withoutdanger of breaking
the limbs. The trees on 1.60C
acres are planted 106 to the acre
and on the 1.500 acres new orcharc
78 trees to the acre. A large can
ning factory has just been com
pleted near the center of the or
chard with a capacity of 50.000 3
pound cans per day and it is the in
tention of the owners to put up ar
article known as the "Bert John
son Brand" which will excell an}
ever produced in California.
Besides the peaches they have £
young vineyard of 40 acres on
which there is 60.000 Delaware
grape vines.
The excursion ended at Prescott,
the county seat of Nevada county,
where the party spent Saturday
; night after being royally entertained
by the good people of that hustling
city. Prescott has just completed
one of the finest court houses in
state, a new hotel and a fine agri
cultural high school.

Plant Leguminous Crops.
Several of the best kinds of
legume crops may be planted at
anytime between this date and
July 1. Principal of these ar*1
peanuts, cowpeas and sow beans
The peanuts are a good staph
market crop: the cowpeas and so\
beans are among the best of oui
hay and pasture plants: and all
three of the crops are good soil
improvers.
Peanuts--Plant the Spanish va
riety only. Plant soon as possible,
not later than July 15. Lay the
rows off three feet apart and drop
the pods 9 inches apart in the drill.
T his will require about two bushels
of unshelled peanuts to the acre.
Cultivate as you would cotton or
: corn.
i ij^ tabbui a,l oiii trvcpui u. 1—ci.
; Texarkana, Ark., and Denison,
! Texas, will pay the market price in
' cash for all you have to sell. The!
average price for peanuts is about |
75 cents per bushel and for hay.
$10.00 per ton. The average
yield is about 34 bushels of nuts1
and one ton of hay to the acre. We
have no finer stock feed than pea-1
nuts, particularly for milks cows
and hogs. They are also excellent
for work stock. Peanuts are equal
to corn for growing and fattening
hogs and the animals will harvest
the feed themselves. The finest
meat produced in this country is
practically fattened on peanuts and 1
finished for about four weeks on 1
corn.
Cow Peas For hay plant the
; peas by themselves on well pre- ;
pared land. Plant broadcast by
hand or with a grain drill at the
rate 1 ’<> to 2 bushels to -he acre.
On rich valley lands use the whip
poorwill, but on thinner soil plant
some variety that makes a longer
growth of vine. .Cut when about
half the pods are ripe.
For pasture purposes the best
plan is the ordinary method of
planting the peas in the corn at
the time of last cultivation. Every
corn field should be planted to
peas. The crop should be gath
ered in time so that the hogs.cattle
I and horses can be turned in when ;
about one third of the peas are
ripe.
Soy Beans Plant the Mam
moth, a large yellow variety.:
Plant at any time up to July lJ
Lay the rows off three feet apart
and sow the seed in the drills at
the rate of '2 bushels to the acre.
Give two or three cultivations,
For hay cut the crop before the
-pods begin to open and drop the
beans. If the field is to grazed
1 turn the animals in when the beans
are in the milk. Soy beans are
j especially fine for hogs.
Cow pea and soy bean seed al
! ways sell high. If a community of
- farmers would procure a machine
and thresh their crops they could
sell all the seed produced at froiYi
$1.50 to $2.50 per bushel.
