HORTICULTURAL CROPS
VALUED AT $18,000,OOC
ARKANSAS WILL BREAK REC
ORD THIS YEAR IN VALUE
OF THESE CROPS
Arkansas’ horticultural crops this
year will have a total valuation of
between $17,000,000 and $18,000,OOC
according to figures compiled by J
A. Hughes, horticulturist for the Am
erican Refrigerator Transit Company
the figures being obtained from var
c us sources, including the railroads.
The peach crop, gathering of which
has been begun, will be the biggest

at $4,000,000. Arkansas is expected
to produce 3,250 cars of peaches.
Strawberries will hold second rank,
the 1,250 cars picked having had a
total valuation of $3,125,000. Of the
1,250 carloads of strawberries pick
ed 1,000 cars were shipped out of the
State, most of them to Northern and
Eastern markets, where fancy prices
were obtained.
The horticultural crops as a whole
will total more than 5,000 carloads
Mr. Hughes has estimated, of which
more than 40 per cent will find their
way to Northern and Eastern mark
ets.
Arkansas’ 1919 apple crop, which
will begin moving in August, wnl
have a value aggregating approximat
fly $2,125,000, ranking third. The
little radish, his records show, brou

cf 2,331 cars. The watermelon croj:
; Iso will bring in a big amount. It is
estimated that five acres will produc.
a carload of cantaloupes, and the
melons will sell for about $1,000 a
car. Mr. Hughes expects a ' total
shipment of 2,331 cars. The water

The stingiest man was scoring the
hired man for his extravagence in
wanting to carry a lantern in going
to call on his best girl.
“The idea!’’ he scoffed. “When I

SYNOPSIS OF FOURTH EPI
SODE OF ‘ HOUSE OF HATE”
—
' The first tense scene of the fourth
chapter of Pathe’s big serial, ‘‘The
House of Hate” playing at the Sky
dome shows Pearl accusing Giesham
of being the murderer of her father
when she discovers him in the robe
of the Hooded Terror, which had been
thrown around him by that mysteri
ous character as he was escaping
from Pearl at the end of the third
Episode. He pleads with her and
asks for a hearing alone. When she
giants it he tells her that her father
before his death trusted him with
certain information regarding the
Waldon War Works and that this
memorandum was in a pocket of a
coat in the laboratory upstairs. The
Terror overhears this and when Pearl
and the othes return to the House
and send the butler to the laboratory
to secure this book, he has been be
fore them. Pearl says she sees that
Gresham has been wrongly accused
and that he is free to go. Haynes
tells her to ask why, if he was so
innocent, Gresham should take a men
ial position in Waldons home when he
is a rich man. When he refuses to
explain Pearl is disappointed, but
Gresham leaves telling her to call
him when she needs him.
In a dilipidated street near the riv
er front Karon Crimlisk, a shyster
lawyer is on the lookout for “Patch
Eye Pete” the man from Java. Crim
lisk finds him in a low dive, shows
him a cablegram signed by “Portu
guese Jo” and *The Malay,’ telling
him to be on the lookout for Patch
Eye Pete and warning him that they
aie following on the first ship. The
cablegram also says “tell Patch-Eye
that it will be unhealthy for him to
Act before we come.” Crimlisk talks
to the man from Java and learns that
some weeks before in a hut on the
beach of Java, Portuguese Joe, the
Malay and Patch-Eye I’ete had dis
covered a secret which would bring
them big money. Portuguese Joe and
the Malay tried to leave Pete out of
their reckoning but he escaped after
a fight with the other two. When
Ciimli.sk asked Pete to share the se
cret with him he laughs. After lea\ -
ing the Shyster lawyer Pete goes to
Waldoncliffe, tells Pearl he knows the
killer of her father and the man who
wants to kill her so he can run the
Waldon War Works. He offers to
sell his secret for ten thousand dol
lars and makes an appointment to
meet Pearl when she can deliver the
cash to him. He tells her the Hood
ed Terror is a member of her own
family. Pearl makes an engagement
to meet Pete that afternoon at the
boathouse down the road as he refuses
to meet her in the Waldon home.
Pearl calls Gresham on the phone
and leaves word for him to meet her
at the boathouse at five that after
noon.
She goes to the Waldon War Works
to get the money for Pete. Gresham
gets the message when he returns
to his apartment and starts out to
find the thief, who is employed in the
chemical warehouse. Pete i.s suspic
ious of him and manages to elude
Gresham and starts out to keep his
engagement with P earl.
Pearl has secured the money at
the War Works but tells Ezra, Hayn
ese and Naomi that she is going to
learn the secret that afternoon. She
goes to the boathouse and out on the
pier. She is surprised to see Pete
come staggering out from the boat
house in a dazed condition. He warns
her to run or “He'll kill you.” He
drops dead and Pearl races down to
the end of the pier followed by tr.e
Hooded Terror, who seizes her and
clutches her throat. At this thrilling
moment the episode ends.

BROUGH WILL CALL
A SPECIAL SESSION
GOVERNOR PROMISES SUFFRA
GETTES THAI HE WILL CALL
LEGISLATURE IN JULY
Little Rock, June 18.—A special
session of the legislature will be held
in Little Rock probably during the
last week in July.
Positive assurance that he would
issue a call for the special session for
the ratification of the national suff
rage amendment was given by Gov
ernor Brough Wednesday noon to a
large delegation of Little Rock suffra
gists headed by Mrs. T. T. Cotnam,
which waited upon him in the recep
tion room at the State capitol.
Issuance of the formal call will be
postponed several days. Governor
Brough said, to allow time for the
consideration of what other subjects,
if any, should be included in the
call.
Among the subjects being serious
yl considered by the Governor for
inclusion in the cal! are legislation
looking toward a statewide system of
roads, with provision made for de
creasing the tax on owners of real
property, and increasing: it upon au
ti mobile owners; a measure for an
immediate survey of the geological
resources of the State, particularly
with reference to oil and gas; and
curative legislation to remedy de
fects in road legislation enacted by
the 1919 legislature.
Governor Biough told the suffragist
delegation that he woftld hold up the
formal proclamation only until he has
had time to give proper considera
tion to the other possible subjects to
be considered by the General Assem
bly. There is known to be a wid*
diversity of opinion among the gov
ernor’s advisors as to the wisdom of
including other subjects in the call, in
view of the fact that this would al
hnost inevitably stretch the session
lo the fuli 15-day limit, with an
expense to the State of some $30,
‘000.

FOLLOW UP CROPS
AFTER WHEAT OR OATS
It is always a good plan to follow
oats and wheat with some crop like
cowpeas or peanuts. This year it i.-.
highly important that some crop
adapted to late planting be used, for
a backward spring and rainy wather
have combined to make the outlook
for staple crop production this year
rather uncertain.
Cowpeas, if available, can be drill
ed in rows between the C3rn, or sown
or drilled after the oat and wheat
crops.
Penauts should be drilled in rows
and cultivated tw'o or three times.
These crops make hay that all live
stock relish.
Sudan grass can be drilled in rows
at the rate of 4 to 6 1-2 ponds of
seed or sown broadcast, 10 to 15
pounds, to the acre up to July 1st in
Southern Arkansas. It makes a goo .
hog pasture and an excellent hay.
Mexican June Corn planted afte"
the oat and wheat harvest will mature
in some parts of the state before frost
falls and can be relied upon to ma
ture sufficiently for silage in all
parts of the state. Black Amber sor
ghum is recommended for an early
maturing silage or hay crop.

present crop condition indicates that
the coming feeding season will see a
shortage in feed crops. The seed

pay in the long run to plant a follow
up crop this summer.

CO-OI’ERATIVE SHIPMENTS
ARE ON THE INCREASE
Since January 1, eighty-four car
loads of hogs, and eleven carloads of
cattle have been shipped from twen
ty-eight counties in the state on the
co-operative plan which resulted in a
saving of more than $35,000 to tho
shippers, according to a statement
made by T. R. Reid of the Marketing
Service of the University of Arkan
sas. The $33,000 represents the
i amount received by the shippers on
the large markets above that offered
by the local markets. It is expect
ed that sixty out of seventy-five coun
ties in the state will be carrying on
successfully the co-operative shipping
of livestock before the close of the
present year.
