4 MOST IMPORTANT
 LIQUOR DECISION
rhauceIIor BourIand Restraints Railroad From Carrying lntoxicants h
 to Scott County.

Fort smith, Sept. 3.--An import n+ decision relating to the liquor +rarfic in prohibition territory has been handed down by Chancel- ,or Bourland of the twelfth judici- al district. The court restraints tbe Kansas City Southern rail- road from carrying liquor into Scott county except by complying win special orders of the court.
 Various citizens of Scott county filed a complaint in the Scott coun ty Chancery court some time ago against the two companies, seek ing to enjoin them from carrying intoxicating liquors into the county, a prohibition territory. IIpon this complaint the prosecu- tinr attorney for the district ap- nlied for a temporary restraining order. The order of the court in part is as follows;
 s'It is ordered that the defend- ants. and each of them, their re- spective agents and employees are hereby restrained and enjOined from delivering in Scott county, a prohibition territory, to any consignee or other persons for him, directly or indirectly, any consignment or part Of consign- ment, of any intoxicating liquors of any kind, and from permitting the same or any part thereof from being taken away, however the same may be marked, packed, box ed or prepared, until the said de- fendants, or their agent or em- ploye in charge of such liquor, shall first notify in writing the Gearest mayor, justice or other Wiic,ai tfficer having jurisdiction in Scott ,,un1y. or the sheriff tti rc-; that the said liquor has been received at the depot, for de- livery, stating the place of the depot or number as well as the name of the consignor and con slgnee, of the liquor. with the de- scripton of the package contain ing the same. said notice to be delivered or posted to said officer to whom addressed within 3 hours from the receipt of such liquor and 36 hours before the same is to be delivered to the consignee, be so notified that he shall law fully seize the same, provided this order shall not apply to consign- mentS or only one quart or less ol intoxicating liquors on the same day to a consignee for his own use, or for family or pri- vate use.n

Scientific Farming.

Marianna, Sept. 4.-W. R. Mann of this city is confident tha t scientific farming pays. The colonel has delivered the goods and knows what he is talking of. Hn expects to gather over a bale
 ' cotton per acre off of a patch
 16 acres. Some of the land will produce two bales to the acre. Prior to his taking charge cs it in 1907, the average yield was about four or five bales
 Mann made a careful study of the character of the soil and it's needs. Then he used liberal quan- titles of fertilizer and secured up- to-date farming articles and also tiled the land. As result of his eiiort he raised just about one bale to the acre last year and

Bnildine Up Ills Town.

Siloam Springs, Sept. A. The Rev. R. L. Selle, pastor of the First Methodist church is firm believer in boosting material things along as we'll as spiritual. He has just written an article
 mich appeared in the "Christian Standard,'" a Philadelphia publi- cation, telling of some of the a6- vanta ges and opportunities to oe found in Arkansas and Sloan Springs. In speaking of his home city he says;
 '~The climate is mild. We do not have the extreme heat of the South nor the extreme cold of the North. Changes in the wealth CT are gradual. We seldomi hear of case of rheumatism, caterrh or appendicitis developing here. Many invalids come here, however and are cured.
 Land around the city sells at from fifty to one hundred dollars an acre as this is the famous fruit Galt of North Arkansas. Fruits and berries do well. It is said that family can make a living eff of ten acres of ground raising fruit, vegetables and berries. It is good market for everything that grows here"
The Prescott daily news., 1909-09-04

there is another gratifying in- crease in the yield this season. Cot ton experts who have inspected the field state that it surpasses anything yet discovered in this part of the country. The cotton growing near the tiling is con- siderably taller than that in other parts of the field.
 Col. Mann's successful campaign has attracted a great deal Of in terest among farmers raising cot ton here. More attention will be given to scientific farming here in the near future.
The Prescott daily news., 1909-09-04

The order is ordered to be serv- ed on all agents at all depots Of the defendants companies in Scott county at once.
 In making answer to the citi- zens of Scott county, the railroad contended that it was a common carrier doing an interstate busi- ness and was protected from the jurisdiction of the court by the Federal constitution but Judge Bourland holds that whep the consignment of liquor reaches the terminal depot and awaits the demand of the consignee it may lawfully seized.
 The railroad company further contended that as common carrier it was bound to accept freight and express shipments from all alike, but the court said that it was not the intentions of the law to debar the carriage of liquor for private use but to prevent it's illegal sale and that the railroad company accepted such shipments at it's peri the same as the cases of sales of liquor to the minor. By following the orders of the court Judge Bourland declares it will have it's effect in eliminating boot logging.

PREPARATORY EXHIBITS OF CORN
AND COTTON FOR SCHOOL
CONTESTS.

In making an exhibit of agricultural
products the first requisite is a thorough
selection. Take corn for example. The
corn from which II is possible to select
should be laid out on a floor or table
and the poor ears put at one end and
the better ones at the other. After this
division has been made the poor ears
can De discarded, than a closer selection
OF the. better ears can be made in the
same way by comparison and by refer
ence TO the score card. One of the points
10 be observed is that the ears be firm
and solid. A great deal of our southern
corn is loose on the cob, which detracts
from II very much. The ears should be
reasonably good-sized and we'll propor-
toned, not necessarily extremely large.
The ears should be almost cylindrical. or
IL tapering at all, very slightly. The
rows of grain should be close together,
the tips we'll filled, covering the cob
completely, and the butts should be we'll
rounded out but not enlarged.
Especial attention should be made in
showing that there is no evidence of
crosses; that is, II part OF the corn has
white cob and part red. 1t should all be
one color and have as near the same
shade as possible. There should also be
uniformity OF the color of the grains.
Ears of mixed color should be avoided
especially. care should be taken with the
corn that no grains are knocked off as
/ this gives ragged appearance The
ears should be clean OF silks and pieces
OF shuck and all shank broken off. NOT
leaving portion adhering to the end of
the cob here the shuck was attached
I In exhibiting cotton, plants with short
/ joints and well placed and developed
branches heavily fruited should be ex-
hibited. 1t is well to clean off all the
leaves as these will crumble and get mix
ed UP with the cotton. It is also well to
take the cotton out Of the bolls as II
natures and later on put It back with
glue.
/ In putting up cereals and grains, they
should all be cleaned Of the leaf sheath
so as to give a good bright straw. When
possible gather them and either cure or
bleach in the shade so as to get a good
col6r. All products should be well clean
ed and free from dirt, and in placing
them for inspection, they should be put
where they appear to best advantage.
Cotton should be supported by a heavy
piece OF board or by a frame. Ears OF

THE CAMPAIGN FOR ERADICATION

OF BLACK ROOT IN COTTON.
The conference for the eradication Of
black root in cotton being held by the
state board of entomology are proving
of great interest to the farmers of the
state. These meetings began on october
Is and will last until December IL. Dur
ing the past week quite a number of very
interesting meetings were held despite
the fact that a number of people were
kept away on account of the fair at Ma
con. The attendance averaged more
than 100 at each meeting, and the people
who did attend were very substantial
farmers and were quite interested in
the work that was being done
At these meetings Mr.. Worsham, state
entomologist or his assistant, Mr.. Lew
is, explains what this disease is and how
IL affects the cotton. They tell expert
ence in trying to find a remedy for this
disease and show that it is of such ma
ture that no remedy for it can be found,
but they have succeeded in producing by
selection a variety of cotton that resists
the black root. In this way they are
enabled to grow a good crop of cotton in
the worst infected places. The board has
a large number of these resistent seed
that they are distributing 10 the farmers
who are troubled with this disease, and
many of the people are taking the seed,
agreeing to give them a trial, and dOubt-
less excellent results will come from this
work
Hon. T. G. Hudson, commissioner of ag-
rioulture, is attending the meeting also,
He speaks as a practical farmer and
his talks are proving very interesting He
advises better methods in farming, i'm
provement of country roads, improve
ment of country schools and the improve
ment of country homes in general. His
lectures are very interesting and inspir-
ing to the people who are fortunate
enough to hear them.
The State College OF Agriculture is
represented at these conferences by Mr..
r. L. Nixon. who speaks on the import
ance of agricultural education and tells
what the college is trying to do for the
people along these lines. Quite an inter-
est is manifested in this work and the
indications are that a large number of
people will take advantage of the short
courses now being offered by the col
lege and a large number Of people have
indicated their intention of attending it's
cotton school which begins on January
3. The other extension work being done
by the college in the way of farmers
Institutes and the correspondence depart
ment for farmers, is proving quite inter-
esting.
1t is hoped by coming in contact with
the people and explaining to them that

WHAT CAUSES THE
LOW YIELD OF CORN?

OF commercial fertilizers? For instance,
corn is sometimes fortified at the rate
OF 800 pounds per acre with a 3-10-4 fer
tilizer, which would be considered very
high grade material by most farmers.
Yet this is applying II pounds of potash
where 20 are taken away in a 2O-bushel
crop: 81 in a 40-bushel crop; So in a go
bushel crop, and SO in a 1OO-bushel crop.
II would take to supply the needs of a
20-bushel crop about three times as much
potash as we ordinarily apply. and If we
allow for some waste incident to wash
ing and erosion, we would have to apply
not only 40 pounds but at least 90 pounds.
When you think that we have been try
ing to grow corn for years and years with
the light applications of potash, phos-
phOric acid and nitrogen suggested, 1t is
not surprising that the yield should re-
main low and that cotton should give rel
atively much larger return.
The fertilization OF corn is comparative
ly simple. The ground should first be
well prepared, good seed selected, and
arrangements made to supply the land
with far amount of vegetable matter.
either In the form OF farm yard manure
or green crops plowed under. and then
liberal amounts OF potash and phosphoric
acid should be used In conjunction with
a sufncient amount Of nitrogen to insure
a rapid and vigorous growth from the
time OF planting until harvesting. The
corn crop can be doubled and trebIed in
the south when we learn to use fertilizers
with greater intelligence and i'm larger
amounts. The cause Of low yields is ex-
planned by the scientific data presented;
the way to secure larger yields has been
pointed out. 1t remains but for the farm
er to act.

you can give me III ISSdru 10 dhthIlt-
nose of cotton;
Anthracnose is a disease which at
tacks both seedlings and mature cotton
plants. The disease when occurring up
on the boIls is most conspicuous be-
cause Of the injury wrought. In It's
first stages 1t appears as dull reddish
specks upon the surface of the boil
These become depressed spots and
change in color as they get older, the
edge becoming dull purple and grading
off outwardly into the natural green
of the boil. The middle where the
tissues are dead becomes black and
later gray, and finally is covered with
a pink powder which is composed OF
spores. Diseased bolls frequently split
open and the lint rots which has given
the name Of boil rot to the disease.
This trouble is caused by a fungus
disease which is a true plant, though
Of simple structure and belonging to
the lower order of life. There are two
parts to this plant-the mycelium which
is composed Of fine threads and grows
in the tissues of the cotton plant rob-
bling It of food and killing 1t; and the
spores which are formed at the ends
of the threads and grow up from the
mycelium and compose the pink pow
der above referred to- They multiply
and scatter the fungus as they are
light and are scattered by wind and
other agencies.
The treatment of this disease is diff
Acult. Among the best methods OF
combating II is rotation of crops.
Since the fungus is dependent on cotton
tn furnish it's food, and does not grow
upon corn and other croNs, there is "a
better chance to starve it out, or at
least hold 1t in check where rotation
IS followed The seed may be treat
ed with bluestone or formalin after the
nsethod practiced with grain for tie
control of smut. While this treatment
is likely to prove helpful. it will not
be as effective as with cereals, but II
IS worth trying.
There is also a wide variation in the
resistance which varieties show to this
disease. Some are practically immune.
and these should be chosen for plant
ing in sections where anthracnose is
most troublesome. Moreover, there are
certain individual plants in every field
which are not affected by anthracnose
though surrounded by diseased plants.
AS they are largely immune to disease
by q careful selection from year to
year a resistant strain can be develop
ed. The farmer who selects mis- seed
In this way, should, however, gin 1t at
home so as to prevent it's being con-
taminated by passing through the gin
house as is almost certain to be the
case II delinted at public ginnery. BY
giving attention TO these suggestions
the spread of anthracnose can be large
ly controlled. 1t has made such severe
inroads in some sections that 1T is inn
portant that the farmers give attention
and consideration to methods OF com
batting it.
