About Reading the Papers.

The editor of this department has for many years advocated the wider reading of the agricultural papers by the farmers, and also the contribu- tion to these papers more of their personal experiences. The following letter from E. c. Miller, Flora, Miss, taken from the Southern Farm Ga zette, Starkville, Miss, is an example of what farm papers may do for a man who has some sense to start with:
 Messrs. Editors: While I have been farmer now about seventeen years, I was raised in city and did not know what a furrow was. I do not want to flatter myself; but l know more about farming than some people who have been at it all their lives. and I got it all by taking farm papers and magazines. 1 raised bale Of cotton on a half acre of red clay hill land that used to be a sweet potato patch. and it would not make any potatoes. I have raised two bales oI cotton to the acre, and hope to run 1t up to three next time. 1 have raised over 200 bushels of Irish potatoes to the acre. Peoples cattle were dying here with the SCOUTS from eating froz- en cotton. Mine were sick. l asked all around what was good for the trouble. Nobody knew. l saw in a farm paper that carbonate of iron was good remedy. I gave them a tablespoonful three times day and cured them in a few days, saving myself more dol lars than all my papers come to.
 never use any commercial ferti liZer. I use barnyard and henhouse manure and muck from the swamp: take my scraper and dig all the mud from the ditches in the pasture and haul it on the land. The ditches will hold water better and cattle like it better than pond water. l also plant plenty of peas. do not care what anybody says-nothing beats peas.

Department Won't Pardon Deserter

Governor Pindall has received a let ter from the War Department to the effect that that department, together with high officials of the government, could not see fit to pardon Jas. J. At kins, who is wanted at Fl Dorado this month to stand trial, but who is now serving a term of imprisonment at Alcatraz island, Cal, for desertion.
 The petition for pardon was made in order to help Atkins bondsmen out of a predicament, as they will likely be compelled to pay the bond they furnish for Atkins unless he shows up at Ell Dorado for trial this month. It is possible, however, that they will not be relieved from the payment of the bond by the governor, considering the circur stances in the case.
 Atkins was tried on the charge of desertion from the army at Fort Slo- cum, N. Y.. August 16, 1906, and sen fenced to 15 months imprisonment and hard labor at the Pacific branch of the United States military prison on Alcatraz island, Cal. His term will expire November 19.

It should be taken into considera- tion when discussing the immigra- ton question that there are good and there are undesirable immigrants. Throughout the South and West there is plenty of good land that ought to be in the hands of good husbandmen; there are mines and forests, and there are the thousand and one things that people must have from the mills and factories. So long as this condition continues. we want all sorts of good immigrants. and we should seek them in the best parts of Europe and in England, Ireland and Scotland.

Acquisition Made For New Equipment.
 Governor Pindall has filed formal requisition with the United States War Department for a complete new supply of arms and ammunition for the Arkansas National Guard. He asks for l 400 of the latest modelled rifles that are now being issued by the War Department and 25,000 rounds of ammunition. The requisition was made at the request of the War De- partment, the Arkansas National Guard having just received a commun- ication from that department asking that the governor notify the depart ment at once as to how many guns and how much ammunition the state militia would need, stating that the number of guns ordered and the amount of ammunition wanted would be supplied the guard at once. The guns now held by the state guard will be turned back to the department when the new arms are secured. The new gun is a Springfield weapon. with slightly shorter barrel than the guns now used, and with wood base underneath the barrel that extends further out toward the end of the bar rel than the present gun. The new ammunition will be ball cartridges. The new guns and ammunition will be used at the annual target practice of the Arkansas National Guard, ar engagements for the holding of which are now under way. The practice will be at Fort Smith, and Adjutant Gen. eral Paul Little is now 5usily engaged in completing arrangements for secur. ing the ground and attending to other details.

it is it is extremely doubtful if there
is one person concerned in fixing
prices of farm products who ever
gives so much as a serious second
thought to the interests Or welfare of
the man who produced the marketable
thing.
Our Texas farmers and planters
should right now go about building
factories in this state in sufficient
number and of sufficient capacity to
consume the Texas cotton crop, or
the major portion of it.
To make themselves both independ-
ent and prosperous they must do this.
They must adopt the plan and pro-
vide the means of fostering and pro-
noting the construction of cotton fac
tories nearest the raw materials-and
we all know, that is Texas.
1t saves the two long hauls and for
titles and exalts the principle of self
preservation on the part of those who
have surest and longest eaten their
bread in the sweat of their faces.

OUR GREATEST NEED.

1t is an old hobby with the Herald
| that the greatest need of Palestine at
! this time, in the making of it an up
to-date, city and business center. is an
increased county population, and we
are firmly convinced that the town
will never progress and prosper as it
should until the country around it is
filled with progressive and industrious
people And believing this is so, the
Herald hopes that following the holt
days the Board of Trade. with Presi-
dent Ozment in command, will inau
gurate a vigorous campaign looking
to the locating of new people here.
The Herald knows that this county Of
fers superior advantages to the man
who is willing to work for results,
and this faith in the county and soil
and climate should be impaired to
others. The tobacco interests here
alone should challenge the attention
of tobacco men everywhere, and this
county should be able to locate hun
dreds of men who want to engage in
this business. And then there are the
orchards and the field crops to chal-
lenSe attention We have plenty TO
offer and we should get busy and
send the word to the outside world.
nnnI tho nnnl,ln onl nnl1ct have
them. They are necessary to our
growth and prosperity. If seventy or
eighty per cent of our farm lands were
in cultivation every year it would
make great difference in the volume
of business to the credit of this good
old county.

FACTORY BUILDING IN TEXAS.

With a matchlesS climate and more
raw material than any other country
is capable of producing it is note
worthy that Texas presents the best
and largest number of inducements
offered by any other country in the
world for the building of factories
right within her area and on her own
precious soil.
The probability of establishing and
maintaining technical training in our
public school system will go far, we
should think, in solving the difficulty
involved in the sufficiency OF kind and
number of wage-earners here to carry
ION successfully the manufacturing
business.
The want of such labor and of such
laborers has long been supposed to be
an impediment or hindrance to the es-
Establishment and profitable operation
of factories for the manufacture of
cotton goods and the like in this
state. This trouble will soon by the
means. we have suggested be obviated
it is hoped and believed.
Our farmers and planters can well
afford to take this matter of factory
building seriously to heart. On its
solution more depends than they
have an idea at. first glance. 1t is by
no means certain that those of our
people who grow cotton will ever
have what may be said to be voice
in fixing a price ON their own staple
and production till they have planted
factories and mills to consume some
thing like the bulk of their said pro-
ducts
If our planters and farmers will rem
der themselves wholly Independent by
factories they will be in
position to take a hand in fixing the
price that is to be paid for southern
farm produce, including their own pro-
duce BY putting themselves in the
market they will have at least an
earnest friendship in position to look
after and protect their interests. As
