lowed by a flooding, which is frequent procedure in growing grain under irrigation, should never be practiced with cotton. Very little moisture is required to germinate cotton seed pro- vided the soil is lightly firmed about the seed at the time of planting.
 When the cotton drill is used in planting, the seed should be dropped about six inches apart in the row if the plants are after wards to be thinned to distance of three feet apart. If the dis tance after thinning is to be less than three feet, the seeds should be dropped correspondingly closer. When the plants are six inches high, or soon after the
 third leaf appears, they should
 be "chopped' out to the desired
 distance with a hoe If hand
 planting is practiced, care must
 be taken in thinning the hills to
 avoid injury to the plants that
 are left standing. The difficulty
 in doing this satisfactorily is one
 of the principal objections to
 planting in hills.
 In selecting seed for planting only ripe, heavy seed that shows
 high percentage of germination
 should be chosen. Egyptian cot
 ton seed that has been grown in
 the Southwest for several years
 is in every way preferable for planting to seed newly imported , from Egypt, as it is better adapt ed to the changed climatic con- ditions. Plants from such seed , have a more determinate growth,
 yield better, and their balls open more satisfactorily than those from unacclimated seed.
 If the ground has been we'll ir. rigated and then thoroughly pull 7 verized previous to planting, the plants will reach a height of , eight to ten inches before a sec
 ond irrigation is required. With holding water for some time ] after planting encourage the de- 5 velopment of a deep root system. On the other hand, frequent ir- rigation at this time encourages
 the growth of lateral roots close l to the surface of the soil, which is undesirable. Thorough culti-
 vation, so as to establish dust mulch two or three inches deep, should follow every irrigation just as soon as the soil Is dry [ enough to be titled. Conservation | of soil moisture by cultivation IS cheaper and more satisfactory | than frequent irrigation.

SUED SEN.
 JEFF DAVIS. Springdale Man Claims Senator Owes Him for Services Ken. dered During Campaign.

Claiming that StudlOI JeH DdNlS Is indebted to him S25 for services rendered when he ran for goYer- nor in 1900, W. J. Parks of Springdale has filed suit against Davis for that amount in the court of Justice Rankin. Parks claims to have campaigned for Senator Davis in Yell, Logan and Scott Counties, and that there IS still due to him the ac- count.
 When shown the above, which was sent out from Little Rock to various newspapers, Mr. Parks said It was fact that he had instituted suit against Senator Davis for the amount specified. The service for which Mr Parks Is now asking pay was rendered while he was resident of Yell County. He says Mir. Davis. who Was at that time making the race for governor, requested him to distribute his literature and do some personal work in Yell and Scott Counties  and to send him the bill and lie would send him a check for the amount. Mr. Parks says he spent S10 of his own money to pay his expenses, and after cleo tion sent statement toZDayis for s25. deeming his time to have been worth SIS. In response to his statement he received d very courteous letter from Chas. Ja- eobson, private secretary to the governor, saying Davis was out of the city but that the matter would be attended to immediate ly upon his return. Alr. Parks never received the money, and during the last campaign when Senator Davis was in Springdale the matter again came up. The senator asked Mr. Parks to dis tr,I,,+a .a,,,a i,+arat,ra ,,, +I,a -, terest of Attorney General Kirby, candidate for governor, and Parks told him he would If he would pay him that S25 he owed him. Davis acknowledged the obligation, and told Parks he would have paid 1t before but did not know where he was. He said he did not have his check book with him or he would pay It then, but just as soon as he returned to Little Rock he would forward the amount. The Kirby literature came all right, but Mr. Parks IS still waiting for that check.
 Eld. J. A. Smith arrived home Monday night from five weeks trip to different parts of the state. He went from here down the Kansas City Southern road to Texarkana. but for two past weeks was engaged in a meeting at Leslie over on the St. Louis and North Arkansas road.

It and go anyway.


 MT. Cogar says that section of Idaho is just now enjoying quite a boom, and although Twin Falls is only about four years old has population of 4500 with all modern improvements, such as electric lights, water works, sewerage, etc. The land III that section is all irrigated, and almost any kind of a crop can be grown there. W. H.. Browning, formerly of this place, bought eighty acres of land within one and a half miles of the town for which he paid SIPS per acre and on which he is putting out an orchard. That price for land seems high, but 1t is predicted that in a few years 1t will be worth $500 per acre. N. (. Bennett, also d former resident Of this place, Is out there, and we understand eontemplates starting nursery. Cliff Fua- gate IS there working for Mir Browning, and Dr. Nose Stearns, who went from here to Emmett, Idaho, a few years ago, Is we understand, contemplating locat- ing at Twin Falls. Wm. Focht, of this place, has also bought a small tract of land near Twin Falls and will probably go out the same time as MT. Cogar, pro- yided he can arrange his business affairs satisfactorily by that time
 So it will be seen that there will be quite colony of Arkan- sas people in and about Twin Falls but after awhile We will expect them all back 10 Spring dale.

This section was visited by a light frost Monday night, and Wednesday night there was a heavy frost, and ice an eighth of an inch thick in some places yes terday morning. The thermom- eter at 5:S0 a. m. was down to thirty-one. There IS wide di- versity of opinion as to the prob- able injury to crops as a result of the frost, some claiming that the fruit will not be injured, and others that it will. Corn, pota- toes aid beans are undoubtedly killed, and u Is feared that the frost will cause the peaches to drop. It will also injure the strawberries to some extent Ill that 1t will prevent them from attaining their full growth.
 On April Is and 16 of last year thls section was visited by heavy frost, and 1t will be re- membered that but little damage resulted. Five years ago to-day we had a heavy sleet, the trees being covered with ice, and the country lived over 1t. So straighten your face and get busy. The country IS all right and the people are all right.

The above is the shipment of strawberries from Springdale up to Wednesday night. On ae- count of excessive rain and cool weather the berries have not ripened and matured as they should. and the indications ale that the crop will be light. Some very good berries have been brought in, considering the state of the weather, and good prices have been realized, selling on the local market at from S2.0O to SIPS per crate. Better prices still will be realized when the growers are able to load in car lots, and the indications are that good prices will be realized throughout the season.
