would place stigma on the state by repeating the law. After all, it is not so much a local as a state question. The fact is, I think, the state is sorely tired of Hot Springs running up to the legislature every session and trying to secure special legislation. l am of the opinion that if our business men were dis posed to spend just half as much money, one-third as much breath, in advertising the city as they spend in trying to bolster up the gamblers and defending some questionable enterprise, there would be more business, less fuss, and more honor about and less dis cord at home. I am sincerely sor- ry for the people of this state that it will be again called upon to listen to another miserable ding of discord arising iron the Valley of Vapors."

SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS
G. D. Sowell Makes 40 Bushels of Corn to
 Acre Against IS Last Year.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I want to say few words about the old and new system of farming. The difference is very great. In Ioo6 1 worked piece of land i'll corn and it made IS bushels to the acre, under the old system. Under the demonstration system this year it will make 40 bushels to the acre on the sam land.
 It is the duty of every farmer to attend the meetings and discuss the things that relate to progressive farming and other matters of spec ial interest to an agricultural peo- pie. If it is true that the man who makes two ears of corn where only one grew before is public benefsctor I believe in aiding and promoting the natural conditions of agriculture in this state.
