 A GOOD COUNTRY
He Lived Here Once and Knows
 What He Is Talking About.

The News is in receipt of the following letter, which will be read with considerable interest by many News readers, as the writer formerly resided m this section.
 Brideport. Wash, March 26. .- Ed. News: noticed to-day by the date on my highly esteemed Springdale News that l am i'll ar rears on subscription. l certain ly don't want you to stop the paper, as 1 read The News with great interest. Having been reared near Springdale, am al- wa ys glad to note the progress Springdale and vicinity is mak- ing. l notice so much comment on other portions of the country from those who have left there, and as rule they seem to think they have found the garden spot but still the next you hear from them they are wandering around very close to tile old tamping grounds. l have been here in the west for seven years. We have good country here, and so have you, and l hope you will get your new railroad and will ever prosper.
 You will find inclosed S1.0O which please place to my credit. Wishing you success, l am

AGAINST SETTING ON
 THE SIDEWALKS.
Wants the Council to Pass an
 Ordinance Prohibiting It.

Editor News: Say, Mir. Edi- tor, South Springdale struck the right note when he advocated no splitting on the sidewalks. But I think he should have said more; something like this: Tobacco juice and other spittle looks very nnsightly and even offensive on concrete walks. Just take a peep at the bottom of those col umns at the postoffice and you surely will think, If not say. we ought and can do better. We have but little to do when we are out on the side walks, then let us step to one side and spit of of the walks. This would be good thing to teach us cleanli- ness, viz: Let the council pass an ordinance prohibiting such uncleanliness, and then If we dis obey let them have us get down in our jeans and dig up. I am willing for such a move. Let some one else say something for or against keeping sidewalks clean.

UNIVERSITY
 REMOVAL BILL PASSED THE SENATE LAST
 WEEK, IA TO 3. IS NOW UP ID THE HOUSE. Should That Body Pass the Bill Fayetteville Will Lose the
 University.
IS NOW UP TO THE HOUSE.

Little Rock, Ark, March 31. - Following the longest session of the senate during the present term, the bill to remove the Uni- versity of Arkansas from Fay etteville to Little Rock was pass ed by vote of II to 2. The feature of the debate was the speech against the bill by Sena- tor Dill of Washington county, the county in which the unlver- sity is located. The senator lives at Prairie Grove, a rival town to Fayetteville. The sen- ator said that it might mean his political downfall if the bill pass ed the senate, but referred to that only in an incidental way. The senator said II was wrong in principle to take the university away from Fayetteville, after that city had come forward many years ago with the cash to es- tablish the school, when other cities of the state failed to make an offer, Monticello being except ed. The vote on tue bill was as follows:
 For the bill: Senators Arnold. Bush, Edmondson, Glover, Hen- derson, Keel, Patterson, Rasco, Robertson, Toney, Williams, Watson, Yopp and President Martin.
 Against the bill: Senators Carlock, Dill, Fletcher, Freeman, Holland, Mckenzie, Rowland, White and Wingo.
 Senator Wingo offered a point of order that the bill was an ap- propriation Dill and that It would require two-thirds vote to pass it. The point was not argued, the senator simply asking that the point of order raised be made a journal entry.
 The bill provides that the city of Little Rock shall put up $250,- 900 in money or improvement district bonds for the removal oi the university. The buildings of the University are to be Jeff intact at Fayetteville. The bill does not provide for the removal of the agricultural department The fate of the bill in the house is matter of doubt.

CULTIVATION
 OF THE SOIL. A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE TO FRUIT GROWERS. WHEN AND HOW TO CULTIVATE Paper Read Before Sprinedale Horticultural Society by
 J. F. Palmer.
WHEN AND HOW TOCULTIVATE

However much or little 1 may be able to say on the subject, 1t is one that is coeval with the race itself.
 The trouble that the original ancestral pair got into caused them to forfeit all their rights in the beautiful garden of Eden; and they We're sent forth to till the ground from whence they were taken. Just what the employ ment of this first pair in Eden was does not appear; but the till ing of the soil must have been contemplated as rather an irk- some task, for they were warned that in the sweat of the face they were to eat bread But lest the race should think the un- dertaking too severe the promise was given later OH that ''He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; and again shall have plenty of bread. ' So all down the ages this fact of the cultiva- tion of the soil has been the prin- eiple source of supply for mans subsistence. Bishop Thoburn, who has been missionary for fifty years III India, recently made the statement that for 400 years under the old regime of the heath- en forms of government in India, and their idolatrous forms of worship, there had not been the slightest lmproVment In even the simplest agricultural implements; but from year to year and century to century, they go on doing just as their ancestors did.
 While in the same country, our Christianity. under the leader ship of such men as Thoburn, is taking, with the Gospel of Salva- ton, also tn t gospel of all kinds of modern machinery, so that 1t is possible that those who are now living will see India com pletely revolutionalized on thIs question of the cultivation of the soil. And 1t has not been so long since here in our different states some very crude imple- ments were used in the fields. Some of us can remember the blows with the old wooden mould boards, and other such tools to correspond.
 But now in these same states the cultivation of the soil IS being reduced to a science, and farming implements correspond With scientific discovery; so that where formerly only the small tract could be handled, now we have the larger forms of development, from all of winch come the more liberal supply of that upon which the race was to subsist.
 ex- The purpose then ot the cult'' lion of the soil is primarily the matter of continued existence, both for man and beast, as thai upon winch each must subsisi must come largely from the soil . But the analysis of the process leads us to ask why the necessity for this cultivation of the soil IT order to the growing of any kind of crops? In the answer l refe1 to two reasons, and hope tha others will take up the subJec' more fully. First the cultivation of the soil is the management O it's productive process; hence il this management is the elimina tion of all extraneous growti s,ch as is not desired as prod uct; and the production of sue' forms of vegetable life as IS de sirable. Those who have bee' trying it have realized that t k keep out such things as you don
 want is task of no small pro

Don't Delay, But Do it Now!

1t is something you want repro- duced. It will be seen that this vegetable form of mulch not only retains the moisture, but in its decomposed form also becomes a fertilizer.
 In the case of almost every bearing apple tree an examina- ton will show q network of fibrous roots near the surface of the soil. The theory is that these are the roots that first of all make possible the fruit crop, and that nourish 1t; and that ust in proportion as these are vigorous and sufficient in quantity Is the yield of fruit, 70 far as that yield depends upon the tree itself per- tains. Of course the crop may be otherwise interfered with. If this idea is correct. 1t is certain ly reasonable that in all bearing orchards where soil stirrlng is practieed, II should be shallow, and of such charac ter as not to disturb the fruit feeders. or dis turb them little as possible. And even if this theory IS not correct, It certainly seems best not to be continually breaking up this form or source of the trees life and support by deep blowing. am satisfied that large bearing trees are injured in this way. Where surface soil stirring is practiced 1t is certain ly reasonable that such imple- ments as interfered least with this fibrous system of roots is best; such as the disk, and spring. tooth harrow; or both. The character of the soil, however, must be taken into account.
 All this maintains, of course, only where an orchard has been held we'll in hand. An old, neg lected, or run down orchard would perhaps need more radical treatment for few years till new courses of life could be worked into 1t. But i'll such cases 1t Is a question whether 1t is not best to take the old trees off, and reset the orchard, and start the thing over again. Sometimes, possibly old trees can be rehabilitated where they show signs of the possibility of refrigeration. As to what such signs are the man on the ground must be his own judge. If he is not able to judge, then he can call in the neigh bors, but will probably have as many chances of failure as sue cess. .'Be watchiul and strengt en the things that remain Is : good motto for the orchardist.

THIS IS THE
 DAY WE VOTE. TWO STRAIGHT PARTY TICK.
 FITS IN THE FIELD. DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN You Must Have Paid Your Poll Tax for 1907 to be Enti.
 tied to Vote.

To-day-Tuesday-is the day for holding municipal elections throughout the State. For the first time in the history of the town there are two straight party tickets i'll Springdale, Democratic and Republican. Although the Democratic ticket usually has had opposition in the past, 1t was by citizens ticket, nominated irrespective of poli- tics, but this year the Republi- cans decided they would make her straight, and the outcome will be watched with consider able interest. Although there are two tickets in the field, no feeling has been aroused on the part of the different candidates or their friends, for which We should all be thankful. Hot politics" never do any good, but often harm, especially m muni- cipal and school elections, evi- dence of which IS seen in our neighboring town of Fayetteville.
 Following are the two tickets that will be voted upon today, and both are composed of good men:
 Democratic Ticket.
 Mayor-I. T. Lane.
 Recorder-Arthur Dyes.
 Treasurer-W. H. Searcy.
 Aldermen-Chas. Smyer, J. NJ. Hewitt, w. c. Ownbey, Wilson Cardwell, w. A. Graves.
 Republican Ticket.
 Mayor-J. A. Joyce.
 Recorder-A. w. Bevers.
 Treasurer-B. P. Snider.
 Aldermen-S. l.. Ingram, C. N. Furry, w. G. Thompson, N. B. Long, w. l.. Morgan.
 The judges appointed by the county commissioners to hold the election are K. s. Horton, G. A, Graves and A. Blake, the first two being Democrats, the latter Republican.
 Attorney General Norwood has rendered an opinion to the effect that a person before being legal ly entitled to vote at to-day's election must have paid pol tax in 1908 for the taxes of 1907 so unless your name appears or the printed list of voters furnish ed the judges by the county cleo : tion commissioners 1t behoove' you to dig up your last year, poll tax receipt. A receipt fo taxes paid this year will not go
