DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS AND UNION COUNTY.
VOL. VI. NO. 13.
HUTTIO. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. JULY 27, 1912.
PRiCE. $1 PER YEAR
UMION COUNTY'S PEACH CROP
Over One Hundred Curs Will Be Shipped Oe
mind (qu.il to the Supply.
The Union County Truck Grow
ers' association up to last Monday
had shipped 60 cars of peaches
from El Dorado. The association
will make the largest shipment this
year in the history of the county
the largest year's shipment pre
vious to this being about 35 cars
Practically all of the orchards ir
the county are young and are just
beginning to bear and this yeai
they have been from a week to ter
days ahead of the rest of the state
i mb yuar, ctbiue num quit's d
number of packages already in the
county, the association bought
three carloads of six-basket crates
and 13 carloads of bushel baskets
in which to move the crop. The
crates were bought at Jonesboro.
Ark., and amounted in total to 14.
650 crates. The bushel baskets
were shipped here from Buffalo.
N. Y., the 13 cars containing 29,
6 1 6 bushel baskets; $6,775.43 is
the amount paid out
for these baskets and crates. It is
hoped that before next season a
basket and crate factory will be
established in El Dorado. There
is a factory there 'now for canta
loupe crates and it will only be
necessary to put in basket and
crate machines to insure our peo
ple getting crates as well as adding
a li"e industry to the county.
Up to the present time the as
sociation has not consigned any
peaches, but has found ready sale
f.o.b. cars for more than they could
ship and has not been able to fill all
orders. All sales have been made
from 70c to $1 a bushel f. o. b.
cars, El Dorado. These prices
are slightly in advace of the prices
paid for peaches in Texas this
season.
Doubtless there will be over 100
cars shipped from there this seas
on and with the present prospects
the growers will receive a good net
profit from their peaches which
will put a good sum of cash in the
county at a time when heretofore
they have not been realizing money
from their crops and will not only
perpetuate the growing of peaches,
but further the growing of all kinds
of truck to be shipped in car lots.
If all the orchard owners in this
end of the county would join this
association like they have been
urged to do next year’s shipments
will be over 200 cars should there
be a good crop.
five Scholarships to AgrKultural School.
It affords us pleasure to be in
position to write scholarships which
give the holders thereof absolutely
free literary and industrial tuition
during the next session in the State
Agricultural School, Monticello.
Ark. Music and expression the
only extras. No matriculation,
library nor society fees. $10.00
per month pays board, room, fuel
light and medical attention. No
free labor required. Students pay
a part of the above named board
by work out of school hours. An
enrollment o( 400 students from
22 counties, more than 100 being
young ladies, attest the growing
popularity of this institution.
Applications for scholarships
should be filed at once.
Respectfully.
W. M. VanRook,
County Judge.
Want Connecting link Bull!.
A committee of one hundred
headed by C. E. Speer, chairman
and composed of men of affairs a!
the head of all branches cf Fori
Smith industry, armed with loca
and industrial statistics, and em
powered to pledge the city, will gc
to St. Louis at an early date to
confer with President Bush of tlv
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain for
the purpose of offering every
pledge which this city may give to
influence that railroad to build the
connecting line between Green
| wood, this county, and Gurdon.
i completing the north and south
! trunk line through that city to the
gulf.
This is the 'one connecting link
of railroad that will mean better
train service for this part of the
state as it will shorten the distance
; of the Iron Mountain between
Kansas City and New Orleans 150
miles and cause the Camden
branch to become a main line.
Trying Out New Scedule.
A change in train service effect
ing the Iron Mountain passenger
j trains at this point was effective
Sunday and is being experimented
with by the railrway officials bo-!
fore becoming permanent. Under j
the new schedule the crews which
have been running from Womble to j
: Monroe now go to Farmerville and
crew which formerly laid over in
Farmerville now lays over in Mon
j roe. and leaves there the same_time
I every morning via Collinston. The
other train leaves Farmerville at
4:30 a. m. instead of 6:1 0 and the !
crews change at Felsenthal. Con- ’
ductor Flynn taking the train out
of Farmerville into "Monroe, going!
through Huttig at 6:20 instead of
7:15. Returning this train will
leave Monroe at 1 :30 arriving here
at 3:27 every afternoon as former
i ly. Conducto' Flynn will again
j change equipment at Felsenthal in
i the afternoon and arrive in Monroe j
at 6:15. the same as formerly. |
This arrangement gives the Wom
ble crews one hour’s more rest at:
! Farmerville than they had when !
I I
. running to Monroe, but makes it
hard on Conductor Flynn and crew
as they have to leave Monroe ev-!
ery morning at 3:45 and do not
get back in there until 6:15 on the
second trip.
We print visiting card? and
stationery of all kind.

AGRICUTURAL COLUMN.
(By A. P. Reynolds)
As most farmers are depend
ing more on cotton this year than
for several ye?rs I wouM like to
offer a few timely suggestions.
The cotton crop is now hanging
in the b d nces. Weevil infesta
tion is light and unter control of
the grower if he will use his ad
vantage. All punctured squares
should be picked up clean as late
as possible later than usual as the
season is later. This holds the
weevil back still later. Late cul
tivation is mare imrortant also on
account of the late planting and
late season. This keeps the cot
ton growing and making cotton
later, provided the weevil is kept
back and the weather favorable.
In case of drought the late shallow
cultivarion helps to preserve the1
stored up moisture. Better culti
vation makes a better fiber and
thus insures a bett'-r price for it.
It aloO leaves the I id in better!
shape for fall plowing and sowing!
of the winter oats. Cultivu'o nil
the middle of August.
Quite a sum of money has been
expended for good seed this year
and every farmer who has seed he
likes should begin now to select a
few choice stalks with which to I
begin se«d improvement at home
and should plan for a yearly seed
patch. All the advice needed for
seed improvement can be had wiUi
out cost and, why should not Union
county have a number of cotton
breeders? A bulletin recently is
sued by the Secretary of Agncui
lure at Wa -hington, bearing the
title "Cotton Improvement Under I
Weevil Conditions." Farmers' Bui
letin No. 501. is now ready for d is - !
tribution. ar.d can be had for the
asking. It is based on all the past I
experience of experts under weevil1
conditions.
Union Men f!Um< ri (or Blot.
That m^mborsof the RroUKihood
of Timber Workers wore entirely at
fault in the not at Grabj.v, La .
July 1 7, in which three were killed ;
and m re than 30 injured, and that1.
the operators and employes of the ;
Galloway Lumber Co., were acting
in lawful defense of their rights, is
the deduction to be drawn from the
report of the grand ju y, which
concluded its investigation at 1 ake
Charles. La., Monday night.
John and Paul Galloway and
their employes, who conducted one
side of the pitched battle, were ex
onerated and indictments for mur
der were returned against an un
known number of union men.
Twenty-three union men now in
jail, were indicted, three n cha g ;s
of highway robbery and murder,
19 on charges of murder and one
highway robbery.
How many additional men are
involved it will be impossible to
learn until arrests are made.
Among those indicted for mur
der is A. L. Emerson, president of
the Brotherhood of Timber Work,
ers.
