ASSOCIATION WILL
HOLD STATE FAIR

After long delay waiting to see If
the legislature would render the
state aid expected, to assist the
people of the various counties in
making creditable exhibits, and
paying part Of the expenses of get
ting such exhibits to and from the
fair, only to meet disappointment,
the Fair Association determined to
carry forward the work, and to ex-
Gel this year all former efforts.
The citizens of Hot Springs, with
that enterprise and pluck character
istic of them, have rallied to the
Association with a spirit of en-
thuslasm and liberality never before
manifested. Notwithstanding the
fact that the citizens of Hot Springs
in founding and maintaining the
State Fair for the past six years
have put into it $4,000 more than
it earned; they feel that ito bene-
hcial efforts have already been so
great, and that its object and pur-
poses mean so much to the state at
large, as developer of our mar.
velous resources, and so much as a
means of exploiting them to the
outside world that the idea of
abandoning it on account of a lack
of legislative appreciation of its
worth, could not for a moment be
entertained.
The new officers elected for this
year are Harry M. Westcott, Presi-
dent, and j. L. Wadley Secretary.
Mr.. WestcOtt is a new citizen, hav-
ing been attracted to this state a
few years ago by its great oppor-
tunitios. and made large invest
ments. He is "a live wire" and
enthusiastic over the possibilities of
the state and the Fair. Mr..
Wadley has for thirty years been
actively identified with the press of
the state, was for twenty-five years
editor and publisher of the Hot
Springs Daily News, Is well known
over the state, and full of the spirit
of his mission with the State Fair.
The catalogue and premium list
will soon be ready for distribution,
and copies will be mailed on appli-
cation to the Secretary.

good condition.
Most farmers have come TO a
point where they hesitate to deny a
harrow may be run over corn or
cotton crop advantageously, after
it has come up; but comparatively
few yet believe in it "hard enough"
to practice it. They seem to admit
that some other fellow may do it,
but still fear that it will, in some
way, act differently for them and
ruin their crop. Or, perhaps, it is
simply the old human tendency to
do things the way they have been
accustomed to do them. Whatever
the cause for our failure to run the
harrow over every acre of well pre-
pared corn land before the corn
comes up and at least twice after it
is up, the neglect costs us much
hard labor later in the season and
many bushels Of corn In decreased
yields. -Starkville (Miss.) Pro-
gressive Farmer.

OAKLAND FARM NOTES

Glover hay to cut, oats to cut ana
corn to cultivate put us in shape to
give the readers of the old reliable
rest from us which | expect they
liked very we'll but here we come
again for what we are worth.
Hot and dry isn't it? Cut'us all
short of hay. So much the harder
we must hustle for any kind OF
roughness for feed we can. Keep
the cultivator and small harrows
running IN the corn, make as much
dust as possible. DON'T WORK TUE
GROUND DEEP, not over two inches
and 90 over the gound at least once
each week, keep it as level as pos
sible, and keep all the little ridges
leveled down. This is the year for
you to test what intensive cultiva-
ton will do. DoL't sit back and
grumble for rain. But keep at
work and you will come out better
for it.
The shortest cut to the doctors
that | know of Is to get soaking wet
with sweat and then cool off by
drinking a lot of cold water.
That'll fetch it sure. But few
sips of lemonade, with little or no
sugar in it will answer the purpose
Just as we'll and cheat the doctor
out of a job too.
Hustling never pays. You can
work good hickory aud still keep
cool inside. 1t Is getting all
wrought up in mind that takes the
tuck out of man.
Have you ever felt of the edges
of the moving machine guards?
If not you will be surprised to find
them dull as an old hoe, especially
If you have used the mower any
length of time. Take them off
and grind them down to keen
edge and see how much finer job
they will do.
Diversity is the safest kind of
farming. Specialists make money
at times, but also lose heavily when
things go against them. The old
saw about putting all your eggs in
one basket holds pretty good and is
true in farming as In other thi2gs.
Don't get too busy to do the
little jobs your wife will have to do
if you forget them. She has hoS
work to do, and lots of it too.
Makes her feel real clipper if you
lend hand now and then.
How many readers of the Star
Herald receive the bulletins which
are issued by the state experiment
station and by the agricultural de.
partment at Washington. Of those
who do not, how many know they
have a perfect right to these help
full bulletins? State and nationol
governments are spending millions
of dollars annually in an effort to
better farming methods in this
country and if the people refuse to
benefit by the knowledge obtained
through the investig cation of the ex-
perts by failure to accept the uumer
Gus bulletins which are prepared
for them, it is clear waste of
money.
If you are not on the mailing
list of your agricultural experiment
station, send in your name with a
request for bulletins and take home
a'coursC in agriculture.
You will have a better under
standing of the importance of your
work and will be better able to meet
adverse conditions half way in the
future. w. A. O..
