Stick to the Staple Crops.

l continually get letters from farm- CTS in the South asking for informa- tion in regard to growing sunfiower and broom-corn and ginseng, and what not. These letters are almost invariably from men who have been growing cotton only, and whose methods have not proved successful, and instead of endeayoring to improve with the crops they are familiar with, they want to try some that they know nothing about and the success of which with them would be very prob lematical. l do not believe in single cropping of any sort. whether of cotton in the South or corn or wheat in the North, but 1 do believe in specialized farming, That is, to have a crop as a money crop that is suited to your conditions, and then so arrange your farming as to give that crop the best possible chance in your rotation. In the Cotton Belt there is no crop that can compete with cotton as money crop if the farmer farms and does not merely plant cotton year after year on old dead soil with the aid of a little low grade fertilizer He should assoc. fate in his farming the legumes for forage and feeding, and corn and oats as auxiliary crops, and if he farms with these in a good rotation and make manure, lie will soon find that these auxiliary crops are not merely supplies" but are profitable crops to grow for sale. The South is rapidly getting into the Corn Belt, for Lou isiana and Mississippi have corn to sell, and when this takes place all over the South the feeding of farm animals will naturally follow, and bigger cotton crops will be made on less land.

We are reliably informed that Judge Frank Smith, of Marion, Crittenden county, will offer for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas at the next general election. If there is a man in Arkansas whose record in pub- lie and private life is above reproach it is Frank Smith. He has made a success in everything he has under taken-as lawyer, as legislator, as Judge, and socially he is the peer of any, as is evidence by his winning some thirteen years ago the heart and hand of the sweetest woman in East ern Arkansas. Judge Smith is now winning laurels as Judge of the Cir cult Court of the 2d Judicial District. St. Francis county will count Judge Smith for Associate Justice.

Care of Veterans At Reunion,

A feature og the coming Confederate Veterans Reunion, Little Rock, May 15-16-17-l8, is the unusual pains taken to secure the comfort, convenience and pleasure of the Veterans. There are no less than 4S active Committees, and the work has been so divided into departments, that every detail is sure of attention. The arrangements are so complete, that the old Veterans will suffer no inconvenience from neglect or oversight
 There will be an entire absence of needless red tape, No tickets will be required The Veterans will be met at every train by committees who will direct them to headquarters, where a public reception will be held later. After registering, each veteran will be given badge, and that badge alone will be sufficient to admit him to his tent, to free meals if desired. and to all free functions, receptions, balls, etc, provided for their entertainment and enjoyment.
 The Camp of Veterans will be estab, shed in City Park within easy walk ing distance of headquarters, and which can be reached also by street cars. Each tent will be numbered, so that with the various avenues between the rows Of tents designated, and each tent numbered, there will be no diff tculty in veteran being unable 10 locate his tent.
 In the Camp will be established a commodlous eating tent, and in add- tion 10 the regular meals, hot coffee and sandwiches will be served after night free, if desired. To protect all Veterans and others from being over charged at restaurants, the committee on Eating and Lodging has required all restaurants endorsed by the con- mittee, to enter into an agreement as to prices of meals and cooked to.order dishes. This list of prices will be conspicuously displayed in each res NeHA AA4ti aHH Ill tel aiu3 3sCGll feSldUfdilI willbe provided with copyright sign showing that it is endorsed by the committee
 The street decorations and illumf- nations both in the city and on the river, will be on a scale of splendor never before attempted. Amusements and entertainments of all kinds have been planned Everything points to the Little Rock Reunion being the best and greatest ever held.

Originally intended to conceal in time clothing becomes a display. It is natural evolution. What we begin as sham, we end as boast. As the fig leaf develops into Paris gown, so the opinion we adopted simply because we did not want our mind naked of any opinion, we by and by fight and die for. A shift of fcowardice becomes an axiom of wisdom. A second orig inal intention of clothes was protect ion; this has changed to exposure. We put on garments, not to conceal, but to express ourselves, We are conscious not of cuticle, but of coat and vest. l am not pinkish- white, God-made animal; perish the thought, l am brown creation of Uppenheimer and lkestein, and shirt tie of Tom Murray, with just little edging of timid animal showing below the cuffs and above the collar.

We don't, nor want to know ourselves. We are afraid of our own personality, as of any other ghost. We never believe our own convictions until we find them in another, We doubt our own passion until it is re- turned.

In order to secure the best results from advertis- ing, it is necessary that the ads should be we'll set and displayed, and to have this done, it is imperative that advertising copy be in the hands of the printer not later than Wednesday noon. Copy that is handed in during the rush of the closing hours on Thursday and Friday, can not re- ceive the care and atten- tion that the paper desires to give its patrons. We hope our advertisers will take notice and govern themselves accordingly.

+ Farmers, Attention!

The corn crop of the nine Southern States in 1910 exceeded that of 1908 by more than l5S, GOO, 900 bushels: and these nine states produce 45 per cent of the entire corn increase over 1909, in the whole United States
 But few men in the South will now say that we cannot grow corn, and grow it profitable. One hundred boys of the corn club in 1910 made more than l30 bushels per acre, or the 100 acres that they cultivated yielded more than 13000 bushels.
 Our surest crop of corn is the early crop. By planting good land early, corn escapes the drouth that cuts short later planting.
 Be sure to prepare land well. For corn use your good soil, as cotton will give you better result than corn on poor land: select choice, well-bred seed for planting. Have you ever figured how many stalks you should have to 2l0 feet squareE If not, do this, and then if each stalk gave you two ears. The result will Suprise you.
