LITTLE CHILD DEAD.

The death angel came to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. [. N. Ballard on
Wednesday morning, June Is, and
claimed their darling baby, little
Ray Lee Ballard. Although it
makes our hearts ache with grief
to give him up, but we can only
say, Thy will be done.
Little Roy was too bright a jewel
to stay in this sinful world. God
saw best to call him home while a
babe to live with him and the an
gels and his spirit was waited to
Heaven. Little Raw was only two
years and three months old. We
are cherishing that sweet happy
day when we will meet darling Ray
where parting will be no more.
Weep not for little Ray, for he
is resting sweetly in the arms of
j esus and beckoning to papa and
mamma to come to that home of
sweet peace and happiness. Oh,
sinners, if you will only be as pure
in heart and ready to go as little
Ray when the Savior calls, low
happy you will be.
This little babe only paid a debt
a0e all have to pay sooner or later.

SCHOOL PROGRESS.

Edlt0f lHE CHRONICLE:
| desire to say through the col
umns of your paper a few words in
regard to the progress being made
along educational lines in Benton
County. Thirteen years ago | at
tended my first teachers institute
and examination, and [ must say
the progress is encouraging. Our
rural school term then was from 81
to 3 months; now 4 to 5 months.
Salaries were from SIS to $50; now
$50 to S50-almost double.
| attended examinations in 1909
and 1910, and to say last weeks
body of teachers were the most en-
thusiastic it has been my lot to be
one of, does not give it justice. |
have never seen q more earnest set
of people; they seemed to catch the.
inspiration and to realize the i'm
portance of the work they are en-
gagged in-the grandest and noblest
of all professions.
And why this interest, you ask ?
because Benton County has the
best superintendent of schools in
the State. Why do | say the best
in the State? Because | do not
know of better one. Mr.. Hardin
puts his whole soul into his work.
His watch word seems to be, bet
ter teachers, better salaries, better
houses, and longer school terms.
He is interested because he is i'm
pressed with the needs in Benton
County, and knows because he has
had experience in our rural schools.
Let US uphold his hands in this
great work ; let's push the school im-
provement until we have the best
teachers and schools in the State.
We are just awakening to the fact
that to have good schools we must
have good teachers. Lest | forget |
| must say a few words with refer
ence to his faithful companion.
| would that we had a few more as
workers as Mrs. Hardin.
From the acquaintance and the
work l have seen her engaged in
the past week, | realize that she is
a friend of the teacher. Her adj
vice and instruction was an inspi-
ration in the institute. l could
not close this article without refer
ing to that tireless worker, Bertram
Johnson, who will always be found
at the held. The teachers of our
county will always have a warm
place in their hearts for him.
A word in regard to the exami-
nation the past week. 1t was rigid,
though practical, plain, and the
fairest | have ever been in. No
helping, no cheating. Everyone
seemed to want to rely upon their
own merits. This speaks we'll for
,he teachers of Benton County.
Teachers, if we ahould all be sue
,essful in getting our certificates,
cts go about our work in earnest.
Lets make it the banner year in
,ur history of public schools. If
my failed, do not be discouraged.
all God-speed, / am one

Expects to Surprise the Nation at the
Ohio Valley Exposition, Which
Opened Monday.

Cincinnati, Aug Southern agrl-
culturalsts are alive to the opportu-
mites which the Ohio valley EXPOSE

gust 29 to September "a, is holding
out to them. From all sections OF
Dixieland come reports of county fairs
and other industrial projects at which
are shown the products of various
sections of the different states, and IN
every instance there is a decided de-
sire on the part of the management
of these enterprises to secure specl
mems of grain and other agricultural
products to be submitted to the com
mittee on Southern Resources
in charge of the assembling
of exhibits for the big South

hibited at the Statewide immigration

London QUIET BUT
POLITICS WARMING

London, Aug. 31.-London is in the
midst of it's long eptaleptic summer
slumber. American tourists and pro-
vincial visitors are the rulers of the
city, which never resembles itself al
this time of the year. The king and
queen, as well as the queen mother,
are away. Buckingham Palace is de-
serted, and the shutters are lip all
over Mayfair. Asquith, Lloyd, George
and Belfour are at various 'iealth re-
sorts, the Democratic John Burns Is
cycling in France and no one enters
the gates of the house of parliament.
But while neither of the houses win
meet until November Is, the members
of the veto house committee are soon
to take up their debates TO decide the
fate of the Anticipated mouse of lords
Because of the scarcity Of actual
news, all kinds of rumors are afloat
One of them, and very persistent
one, says that the conference will

cur in the territory originally infest-
ed. However, the insect is totally
unable to overcome the degree of dry
ness which occurs in central and
western Texas normally, and occas-
ionally in the eastern portion of the
state. In fact, the size of the crop
in the eastern portion of the state is
regulated practically entirely by the
amount of rainfall during the grow
ing season.
THE main hope for the continual
ton of cotton crops in your locality
lies in the encouragement of the enc
mics of the boil weevil We are put
ting our best efforts into this work
which is the most important feature
of our boil weevil Investigations at
this time. We have many observa
lions which show that the cultural
system, as now known, and the use
of various improved varieties, will not
result in obtaining a profitable croI
under the conditions which occur II
your locality an average season. L
is on account of these facts that We
have established a laboratory at Tai
lulah, La An attempt is being made
to devise entirely new kinds of con
troll means.
"The improvement of cotton varie
ties is being undertaken energetical
| ly by the bureau of plant industry
Much can be done along this line, blu
it is not likely that any special dc
gree of resistance to the weevil vii
be found in any cotton variety"

GUS railroads in the South are giving
particular attention to securing exam
pies of the South's natural wealth OF
which the outside world knows little
or nothing. And working along this
plan special efforts are being made
to secure a large and classy exhibit
of corn grown in various sections of
Dixie, with the idea of impressing Wis
itors to the exposition that the South
will grow anything that any other
section can produce, and in just as
high quality. For some years the
matter of experimenting with the
growing of corn has been progressing
in the South, with the result that ex-
perts now boldly announce that with
proper application and the employ
ment of up-to-date methods of cult
walton, the South can be made the
greatest corn-producing section of
America. Reports from the depart
ment of agriculture in Washington
give interesting figures on this expe-
rimental work. In. South Carolina a
boy, devoting all his time and knowl-
edge of corn planting and cultivating
succeeded in raising 152 IL bushels
to the acre in a section where the av-
erage yield was but 16 bushels per
acre. In Virginia nearly 1000 acres
were planted and cultivated under
improved methods, with the result
that an average yield of Al bushels
per acre was secured. In Alabama
Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Louisi
ana and Arkansas similar good results
have been obtained by scientific cul
tivation, so that it Is a reasonable
estimate to make that as bushels tt
the acre can be secured with proper
care and attention. Many cottoI
planters are turning to other staples
as part of their annual crops because
of the blighting work of the cottol
boil weevil, and those who have ia
, ken up the growing of corn are find
ing that it promises more than an
other product. The display of Soutf
| ern-grown corn at the Ohio Vale
: Exposition promises to be compreher
l sive and of excellent quality, an
those assembling this exhibit declar

WOULD PROPAGATE PARASITES
To FEED ON The BOIL WEEVIL

In a letter to DR.. ]. F. McCaleb, of
CLAIBORNE county, one of the foremost
planters in the state, DR.. w. d. Hun.
ter, entomologist of the United States
department OF agriculture, in charge
OF the crop insect Investigations in
the Southern states, sets forth the
vital importance of encouraging the
growth and propagation of the para
sites that feed on the Mexican boil
Weevil. The letter in part says:
I'VE now have under way a consid-
cradle series of experiments in the
shipment of boil weeyil parasites to
Louisiana. In this work it is neces-
sary to devise special release cages,
and to learn great deal about the
habits and inter-relationship of the
different parasites Only a consider
able amount Of practice, such as we
are undertaking this year, will enable
us to carry out the work intelligently.
Next season | hope we will be able to
send parasites for release on planta-
tions in Mississippi, but at present it
seems hardly worth while to do so.
We are utilizing all the material
we can possibly collect in Texas for
release experiments at Tallulah and
other points in Louisiana.
"The small damage done by the
weevil in some localities in Mississippi
is due more to dryness than to lati-
tudes. The weevil is undoubtedly ac-
quiring an ability to withstand the
conditions of higher ATTITUDES than oc-
