The Arkansas Federation of Wo- mons clubs conferred a high honor upon Mrs. N. B. Truloek by unani- mously eleeting her to the presidency of the federation for the ensuing year, and her many friends in Pine Bluff-and everybody here is her friend-feels just sense of pride in her elevation to this responsible position. She was not candidate for the place, and endeavored to decline the honor after it had been conferred upon her. but the federation would not permit her to do so, which proves that her friends are not all confined to the limits of the city in which she re sides, but are in every section of the state. She is president of the local Mathontes club, the Woman's Auxil- iary of the Y M C.

LOCAL CROP REPORT
BY J. M. HUDSON, COMMISSIONER
 FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Insects lnjuring Early Stand of Corn -Moderate Crop of Fruit Is
 Promised.
Commissioner Hudson makes the

Commissioner Hudson makes the following local crop report
 Heavy rain on the 17th, followed by disagreeably cool weather the balance of the week, has greatly retarded farm work While there has been no frost it has been cold enough to chill all tender vegetables, and consider able cotton will have to be replanted to insure stand The farmer who has his cotton seed in the room is bet ter off than the one who has it in the ground.
 There is some complaint that in seets are iniuring the stand of corn. but not more than is usual at this sea- son of the year
 The fruit crop is considered safe for a moderate crop Liberal spray ing with Bordeaux mixture will pre- prevent fruit from rotting before rip ening, and it is to be hoped that more attention will be given the orchards of the county in this respect than former ly when everything was trusted to chance
 Get a liberal supply of Paris green and prepare to destroy the first crop of potato bugs. One pound of Pafis green mixed with four pounds of four is enough to sprinkle an acre of po- tatoos twice and, if it is done in time. that should be sufficient to save the crop. Don't neglect this, if you want to raise a crop of Irish potatoes.

GRAPHIC's cHAUTAUQUA OFFER.


 The attitude of any given section or town toward it's schools and edu- cational facilities argues strongly for or against it as regards it's progress siVeness and real worth.
 No finer art exists than the work of training and shaping the human mind; upon no one is imposed a greater responsibility than that of nourishing and developing the grow ing intellect which to so great an ex- tent, and by reason of it's earliest in cIinations, determines the final des tiny of the immortal souls of our children whom we intrust to the care of the teacher at their most impress sionable age; and, when properly con Sidered there is placed upon the parent and the public spirited citizen no more solemn and imperative duty than the providing for his child, the citizen in his community of tomor- TOW, the best possible instruction and preparation for exercising that eiti- zenship, and so placing in the re- sponsible position of instructor of one fully competent and thoroughly equip ped.
 As a rule the hardest working, the least understood and the poorest paid are those laboring in the profession of teaching. It is often theirs to cor Quer those whom We cannot manage at home-freqUently failing at the same time of the cooperation due them from that home which they serve. Their work causes a severe mental strain which calls for relaXa- ton and rest. but when the season comes for needed recreation in very many cases they find themselves un- able to regain and store up the neeee- sary strength. since the small salaries paid them are insufficient to permit of their spending the time for which they are neither employed nor paid, where shuch benefits may be had.
 \ few years ago few of the leaders among thoughtful educators in this part of the country became interested in a movement which has resulted in the great Colorado Chautauqua at Boulder, Colorado, now nearing it's fourth session.
 Having become acquainted with the excellent work of this institution and the numerous benefits to be derived rom attendance upon it's courses, number of publishers have joined in 3 cooperative movement in the en- deayor to assist the people of their several communities toward obtaining the advantages offered under the res olution of the Chautauqua directors.
 The readers of the Graphic are ia miliar with the offer it has made as if has appeared in these columns. and we trust that the friends of the lady teachers of Jefferson county will in terest themselves heartily in the of fer the Graphic makes to aid two of

In the preparation of muck composts,
dung or fish is the material common
ly used to excite fermentation. Most
farmers prefer to make composts in
heaps. A common plan is to lay down
a bed of muck six or eight feet wide
and a foot or SO thick and cover it with
a layer of dung of somewhat less thick
ness, followed by another layer of muck,
and so on. Different farmers use very
different proportions of muck. The or
binary practice seems to vary from one
to five parts of muck to one part of
dung Rich dung from stall fed cattle
will ferment more muck than that from
animals less highly fed. The practical
rule is to use no more muck than can
be thoroughly fermented by the ma
nure. In the case of sour muck the ad-
dition of small amounts of lime or
wood ashes will correct the acidity and
hasten fermentation.

Rotation of Crops.

The planning of judicious system
of rotation of crops is an important
factor in determining the profit of the
farm from year to year, says cor
respondent in Farm and Home. A pro-
perly arranged rotation of crops is
economical of manure. Different crops
require different kinds of foods, and 10
two crops should follow one another.
Well arranged rotations should allow
of an economical distribution of labor.
There should be no very busy season
followed by season of comparative
idleness
A greater vigor of crops may be ex-
pected under a well planned rotation.
When crops of the same kind are
grown continuously on the same land,
they are more apt to be attacked by
insect and fungus pests. This yaria-
ton of order takes away the food of
insects which infest particular crop.
so that by the time this crop is planted
again the insects have either died out
or gone elsewhere in search of food.
