MAY BE THREE IN
 RACE FOR SENATOR
LATEST POLITICAL DOPE
DONAGHEY AND BRUND1DGE MAY BOTH OPPOSE SENA-
 TOR DAVIS.

Although the next state Democratic primary is two years off, politicians are already discussing prospective candidates for office and from present indications there will be plenty of candidates Interest now centers in the race for United States senator, governor, attorney general and state auditor, according to a story in this mornings Little Rock Gazette. Can didates for the other state offices will be seeking a second term and there IS little prospect of opposition to any of those candidates.
 The present indications that that Governor George w. Donaghey, ex Congressman s. Brundidge and Unit ed States Senator Jeff Davis will all be candidates for United States sena- tor. Governor Donaghey, who was as governor, has not given out any statement to the effect that he will be a candidate for United States sen- ator, but his friends say that he will be candidate. The opening gun in the Donaghey senatorial movement was fired from Miller county within few days after the recent Democrat ic primary and since then politicians in discussing the senatorial race two years hence have talked as if it is certain that Governor Donaghey will be a candidate. For months before the primary election, however, it was talked among many politicians that the governor would be lined up against Jeff Davis when the next United States senator is selected.
 It is also generally understood that Senator Davis will seek second term and that eX-Congressman s. Brun- didge will also be candidate. The fight between the three candidates would be one of unusual character, even in Arkansas politics, according

Little Rock, April 23.-After weeks
 of negotiating a deal was eonsum-
 mated yesterday afternoon by which 1 the majority stock nj the Little Rock
 Publishing Company, owner of the
 Arkansas Democrat, passed into the
 hands of Sam w. Reyburn, president
 of the Union Trust Company, as trus-

 and now president of the Peoples Savings Bank, and a number of other local corporations; George C. Naylor, Fred Naylor, Clio Harper and G. A. Griffin. The stock of the Naylors and W. E. Lennon was disposed of to the unknown purchasers. Clio Harper and Garnett Griffin were minority stockholders and both retain their holdings and will remain with the pa per, the former as editor and the lat ter as head of the press department. George C. Naylor, while he disposed of his stock, will remain as business manager of the paper. Fred Naylor, whc is in bad health, will move west with the hope of securing a climate which will restore his health.
 There is much speculation here as to whom the purchasers of the ma iority stock are, but the ajority | seem to think Fred w.

SELLERS FIGHT
 HAS A SEQUEL

London, April 23.-A sequel to the sensational fight between D. F. E.. Burgess and Dr. H. F. Spillers is scheduled to be written here today. V. X. Rye and James Hines, alleged participants in the bloody affray in which Dr. Spillers, ex-member of the the Arkansas legislature, was severe ly cut by Burgess about the breast and head, charged with assault and battery are to be given a hearing this afternoon.
 Dr. Burgess is held pending the ac- tion of the grand jury, while Dr. Spillers escaped with a Sl0 fine. Ow- ing to the prominence of the physl- clans, their fight, which occurred here on election day, March 30, caused statewide interest.
 Just a week ago today Dr. Spillers, as an outcome of the fight here, met and knocked under a train at Rus sellville. Prosecuting Attorney w. P. Strait. He charged that Strait was not showing enough vigor in connec- tion with tle prosecution of pr. Bur gess.
 The orig einal trouble was caused by i'll feeling engendered by politics in which pungenr newspaper articles in the Russellville press figured.

POODLE
 ANCERS GOVERNOR

Little Rock. April Ex-Governor Donaghey was angry yesterday and when he became angry all chances for Clay county convict to secure par
 don vanished. Superintendent Pit C prk early in the morning notified the governor that someone had sent $l00 to the prison to be deposited for the Clay county convict. The superin- tondeat had read between the lines and knew that the money was an at tempt to get the officials to pocket the hundred and secure the pardon. He immediately expressed himself to Governor Donaghey, who gave in- structions that he be notified as soon as the petition for pardon arrived. in order that he might mark large re- fusal across the back. The use of money for pardons, and the pardon broker Governor Donaghey has no use for. and there is no chance for a con vict to secure a pardon, no matter how meritorious his case may seem, if it becomes evident that money has been used to get the matter before the governor by some person of in- auence. Governor Donaghey will in the future have prepared weekly lists of pardons applied for and refused so the people can see. by these being polished, what his pardon record really ie

to the belief expressed by politicians.
 Up to a few months ago it was generally believed that Congressman Joe T. Robinson of Lonoke would be candidate for United States senator, but it is now understood by politicians that MT. Robinson will seek the gub- ernatorial nomination at the next Democratic primary. It is also be- lieved that Attorney General Hal L. Norwood will be candidate for gov ernor. He has been mentioned ire quently by politicians as prospec- tive candidate for governor. Other rumors in political circles have been to the effect that State Superintend- ent of Public Instruction George B.. Cook and President John H. Hine- mon of Henderson college may also be candidates for governor whe nthe time rolls around. One or two poli- ticians have expressed the belief that Prof. George A. Cole of Fayetteville, president of the Arkansas Farmers Union, might be a candidate and it has been reported that c. C. Kava- naugh might be in the race again two years from now It is hardly believ- ed, however, that there will be as many as five candidates in the field.
 From present indications there will be three candidates for state auditor, Col. J. c. Colquitt, present deputy state auditor; J. M Oathout of Boone vile and Ben Griffin of Conway. It has been understood for some time that Col. Colquitt would seek the nom
 naton for auditor Mr. Oathout was a candidate against John R. lobe two years ago and Mr. Griffin was recent ly defeated in the race for congress from the Fifth congressional district. MT. Griffin stated while in this city few weeks ago that he would be a candidate for congress at the next primary, but it is reported now that he has stated that he will be a candi- date for state auditor.
 Gustave Jones of Newport will be a candidate for attorney general to sue ceed Hal Norwood, according to re- ports received here. MT. Jones is one of the best known attorneys in Arkan- sas. He is a member of the state Democratic central committe and also a member of the board of trustees of the University of Arkansas.

FALL DESTRUCTION OF COTTON
STALKS.

Experiment made at Mansura the
winter OF 1908, brought to light the
interesting and important informa-
ton that destruction of all cotton
plants before October Is reduced the
number of over-wintering weevils to
per cent On the other hand, leav-
ing the plants standing until Deem
Der 81 allowed over 43 per cent of
the weevils to live through the win
ter.
The present season offers excep-
tional opportunities for the farmer
to deal the boil weevil a severe blow
and insure good crop for 1911.
The present crop is short and labor
IL plentiful for picking and there Is
no reason why every boil of cotton
cannot be picked out before October
There is absolutely no hope for
top crop being made in Louisiana
and 1t Is useless for the planter to
leave the cotton plants standing in
the hope that the small green bolls
now on them will mature and open;
these bolls will only breed more
weevils TO rthe fight netx spring. The
far, ers are urged to destroy the
plants as soon as possible by "utting
them down completely, raking then
into piles and burning; or using the
revolving stalk cutter and following
with the turning plow.
Thousands of farmers have Guilt
waited the present crop industriously
and have spent many dollars picking
up the infested squares. If they
would devote the same enthusiasm
and energy to picking out the crop
early and destroying the plants they
would accomplish far more in the
fight against the pest.
When the work is properly done
the cotton plants can be destroyed
(cut and burned) at a cost of from
Is to 40 cents per acre, labor and
all. The way to it do is to make
and use V-shaped stalk cutter, the
! materials for which cost about $500.
This machine cuts from 10 to 20
1 acres Of plants per day and windows
Il them at the same time.

DEEP FALL FLOWING.

One of the greatest sources or

Eure to pillow our lands early and deep.
n Il safe to say that deep fall plow-
ing VIII increase the average crop
IN S more than rs per cent, and fire.
1ouently more than 100 per cent All
such blowing should be done when
aver possible in October or Novem-

after the Christmas holidays.
Dr. s. "A. Knapp has this to say
relative to deep lowing in the fall:

safe to 90 to the above depths at
once).
The presence of heat, air and mois-
ture is essential to chemical and
germ action in the preparation of
plant food in the soil. The depths
to which these penetrate the soil in
the South depend upon the depth
of the blowing, provided the soil is
well drained. There is no use in
blowing down into subsoil full of
water.
1t has been proved without ques-
ton that the roots of plants pene-
trate the soil deeper and feed deeper
in deeply plowed land. Thus, in
general, it may be stated that when
the soil is plowed inches deep the
plants have inches of food, when
plowed inches deep they have 6
inches Of food, and when plowed 10
inches deep they have 10 inches of
food. The fact that the bottom por-
lions of the plowed land are not as
rich In available plant food as the
top portions shows the necessity of
getting more air and heat down to
them by deeper tillage
The soils requirements most essen
tial to the growth of plants are heat
and moisture. Deep breaking in
sures air and heat at a greater depth.
The capacity of a given soil to
hold film and capillary moisture de-
Ponds upon how finely it is pulveriz-
ed and upon the amount of humus
in it. Unplowed lands retain but
little water. Thoroughly pulverized
soil inches deep cannot store
enough to make a good crop.
Plants use an enormous quantity
of water. An acre of good corn will
absorb and evaporate in it's growth
nearly 10 inches of water About
three-fourths of this amount will be
required during the last seventy.fiye

SWEET POTATOES A HOG FEED

July II, 1906, four-tenths of an
acre was planted in sweet potatoes
for hog grazing. In the fall small
area was dug for estimating the
yield. The result indicated prob
able yield of 329 bushels per acre.
November II, twent-one head of pigs
and hogs were allowed access to the
potatoes from a Bermuda pasture.
December 6, the potatoes were about
exhausted. In this time the hogs
had gained a total of 400 pounds.
Pork was selling at that time at six
cents, or the value of the gain was
$3.50. At the same rate an acre
of patotoes would produce $3.50
worth of pork, and the land would
be ready for a winter or spring crop.
