THE preparations now going on In
the South to celebrate the Glorious

those Of any section Of the country
and appreciate the blessings Of life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness
vouchsafed BY the constitution Of
our fathers.

From the best sources of informa-

opinion that Arkansas will harvest
this season, one Of the largest and
best oats crops ever grown in the
State. This crop can be followed
with crop OF MiIIet, or Hungarian
grass to advantage Try it farmer
friends
Hungarian and German millet are
the best known. They should not
be sown until the ground is quite
warm, usually the first OF June,
though in somc sections they can be
grown successfully when sown in
July. Good crops have been grown
on land from which crop of wheat

Work the ground thoroughly and
seed heavily, three or four pecks to
the acre, as with thinner seeding the
plant will be coarse. Cover with
plank drag. which will press the
seeds into the earth and insure quick
termination. and also leave smooth
surface for the mower 10 run on.
