SAYS REVENUE ACT
 |S NOT EFFECTIVE
Pulaski County Assessor Re- fuses to Recognize the
 Tax Commission.
THE LATTER WILL BRING SUIT
Legality of the Turner-Jacobson Act Will Be Given the First
 Test.

Little Rock.-The first step to test the legality of the Turner-Jacobson revenue act, passed during the special session of the legislature, has been taken by the stats tax commission. The commission, as provided by the revenue act, certified to County As sessor Moore the assessments of the three public utility corporations of the city, the street railway company, gas and water companies. The as- sessments fixed by the tax commis- sion are from two to four times larger than the assessments fixed by the assessor Assessor Moore declin- ed to recognize the authority of the tax commission, claiming that the Turner-Jacobson act is not yet ef- fective and will not be in force until September 8, or until after the refer endum vote is taken by the people of the state in the event it is referred, which now seems probable.
 The tax commission has filed suit in the chancery court to settle the dispute. The commissioners claim that the act is effective now because the legislative enabling act putting the initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution in force was not approved by the governor until after the governor had signed the Turner-Jacobson revenue bill.
 Prior to the passage of the revenue bill the assessor was required to fix the valuation of the public untility corporations.

KEEP RIGHT ON CULT!VATING

The object of cultivation for the save the moisture now in the soil for the use of the plants The late prep aration of the soil this past spring end the frequent cultivation necessary during the severe drought have served to almost eliminate foulness from the land for the remainder of the growing season. Although many weed seeds have remained over, which, with the moisture added by the recent light rains, will germinate, but they are of minor importance.
 The matter of greatest importance now is the saving Of that small amount of moisture which, in the form of rain, has been so recently added to that which was already stored up in the soil That supply which had been saved from the April rains had become so nearly exhausted during the recent drought that crops were beginning to suffer. If after these showers cultivation is not begun anew and practiced continuously the crops will suffer more than ever. and if rain does not relieve the situation it will be a question of only a very short time until this new supply is completely exhausted.
 It has been repeatedly pointed out that frequent cultivation to a depth of three inches is absolutely necessary for conservation of the soil moisture, Right now is the exception, and now is the time it means most. The SIT. face of the soil should be stirred just as soon after the rain as the land will permit. After that, in case of dry weather, cultivation to a depth of three inches, no more nor no less. should be repeated every week or ten days until the crop is sufficiently ma. ture to require no more moisture Then and only then, can cultivation be discontinued
 One dollar invested in cultivation at such time may mean not only the saving of those dollars which have already been expended In preparing the land and planting these crops. but it may determine whether the planter IS to get that profit on the entire in. vestment to which he is entitled Failure to cultivate may mean the loss of all.

more to the community, while at the same time it will better prepare the pupils to do their work in life.
 Under the second head we have more reasons why it will make better farmers. First, it will cause the farm CT to study himself when he sees his children studying the principles of nature and agriculture, because these are the things he has most to do with. In this way his interest in the study of agriculture will be aroused, and once he gets a taste of this fascinat- will take more pride in his farm, his stock, his surroundings, and the com munity in which he lives He will want better roads; he will want telephone and other conYeniences of the home, and to obtain these he must be an educated farmer-first, that which deals with the growth of prod ucts; second, that which deals with the selling of products; and, third, that which deals with agriculture as tIIl anu WINll ldI ulGIS dS d class of people.
 It makes better homes because the man is a better farmer; the environ ments are better; the family is better satisfied with their station in life, and the children have become interested in nature and country life and will stay on the farm.
 It makes better people and commu uities because the homes are happy, the people are contented and prosper ous; they have better schools and bet ter teachers, and the cooperation be- tween the community and school has caused cooperation between the peo- ple-one of the most important things for the prosperity and education of the farmer
 A brief summary will show that the object of education has changed as the country has developed and today the object of education is to make of the boy and girl of today the best men and women of tomorrow To do this we must educate them in order that they will be in their proper en. vironment. This cannot be done if we educate and prepare only fifteen per cent of our people for life and let the other eighty-fiye per cent grow up ill ignorance of the occupation from which their living is to come.

STATEHOUSE NOTES
Tries Cotton Experiment.

J Y. Mashburn, well-kuown mer- chant and planter of Bryant. called at the department of agriculture and stated that the boil weevils and un- favorable weather will cause a short age of the cotton crop in his section MT. Mashburn is making an interest ing experiment in trying to grow a five-lock cotton boll exclusively, and thinks that if this can be done it will be of great benefit. His method of growing a boil with five locks is by seed selection. He planted seed from five-lock bolls exclusively in the patch of cotton on which he is ex- perimenting this year, and says that up to this time he has not found any thing but five-lock bol!s. MT Nash burn made SIS on one-twelfth Of an acre of cotton last year, or a rate of S216 per acre.

"Death by Own Negligence"

Morrilton. An unidentified negro man, about 21 years of age, was found dead on the track here. At the cor oners investigation it was shown that the back across the shoulders and left arm were broken, a dent ia the fore head as though struck by blunt in- strument, and neck apparently brok- en. A peculiar circumstance attend ing the finding was that there was no blood on the rails or ties. nor on the clothing, nor any evidence of body being thrown from the train.

Would Enioin Commission.

The St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company filed a petition in the chancery court, asking that the Arkansas railroad commits sion be restrained from enforcing it's order requiring it to build spur or stdetrack at Hope. The objection raised by the company is that if the track were to be constructed it would have to be built upon private premi- ses of the Farmers Union Warehouse Company of taa, town. It is claimed that the property is beyond and out side of its lines of railroad, that the switch asked for is solely for the benefit of the warehouse company, and that the commission has no right to compel it by law to build it.

ADVISES AGAINST USING
 ANY OVERLOOKED CORN
WelI-known Physician Says to Eat Moulded Cereal Is Likely to
 Produce Dread Pellagra.

mboden.-Owing to the excessive rainy season and especially to the great amount of corn which was over
 flowed recently when Spring and Strawberry rivers went on a rampage, Dr. Chas. D. Tibbles of Smithville, a prominent practitioner of Lawrence county, sounds a note of warning to the residents of the affected districts through the columns of local paper, cautioning them to avoid the use of bread made from overflowed or mould ed corn in order to prevent the in- troduction of pellagra, which is said to be caused from eating bread made from bad corn or moulded meal. As yet, pellagra is entirely unknown in Lawrence county, and probably in the entire northeastern part of the state.

ALL OVER ARKANSAS
THE CROP REPORT.
Commissioner Sloane of Arkansas
 Joins Movement.

Little Rock.-Agricultura commis- sioners from ali the Southern states are strongly protesting against the crop reports sent out from various points, including the last government crcD report, and don't believe the conditions anywhere justify the es- ti.ua,cs being made as to the cotton cIop.
 commissioner Kold of Alabama who has called meeting of the com missioners for September 12, at Mont gomery, urges the commissioner from Arkansas and those from tie other states to attend and to bring large delegation of planters and business men with tEem, well posted on the crop prospect
 Let's show that the facts do not warrant this talk about a 15,000,000. bale crop, or anything like that" says MT. Kolb in his letter 10 Com missioner Sloane. Unless we get the real facts out and offset these exag gerated reports, there is bound to be a price condition adverse to the farm CT, he says.
 Commissioner Sloane is heartily in sympathy with this movement, and has already gone on record against these exaggerated crop reports.
 Various Farmers Union locals throughout the state are also urging that something be done to meet the reports of big cotton crop, as they do not believe the conditions warrant these reports.

Corn is fine, especially the late corn, but was damaged some by the recent overflows.
