WILL MAKE STATE
FAIR A GREAT ONE
Despite Failure of Legislature TO
Make Appropriation, Interested
Parties Prepare for
Big One.

Hot Springs, May 7.--Despite the
disappointment felt by the people
and the officials of the State Fair
Association when the General AS
sembly killed the State Fair bill.
it was decided today by interested
parties in this enterprise at one of
the most enthusiastic meetings ever
held to make the coming fair the
biggest and best of any previous
one.
Many imagined that when the
legislature declined to grant the ap-
preparation asked for, the State
Fair would die with the bill. Such
a thing has never been thought of
by the people of this city and those
who have given their time and eff
fort to advertise the products of
Arkansas. The meeting today was
held in the Business Mems League
and was attended by every one in
terested in this project who was in
the city. The work of arranging
the many details of the fair next
October was taken up, committees
appointed and the machinery
started with the same degree of en-
thusiasm as if the appropriation
had been granted.
Officials of the State Fair, whose
officers are in the Business Mems
League, are in receipt of letters
from exhibitors from all over the
state who are desirous of securing
early registration and the better
locations, and these applications, it
is said, almost equal the total num-
Der of exhibits of last years State
Fair.

GROWING ALFALFA
SUCCESSFULLY HERE
Arkansas Experiment Sub-Station
Has a F0ur-Year-0Id Patch i'm
Good C0ndition-PrOf. Las
setter Writes of the Crop.

While there is a sub-station OF
the Arkansas Agricultural Depart
ment located near Mena its value to
Polk county farmers has not been
as great as ii should be because the
results of the experiments have
not been given publicity.
Realizing this, Prof. w. C. Lasset-
ter, who is directing the expert
mental station, will at intervals use
the columns of The Star to call at
tention TO the work and write other
short and timely articles on agri-
culture. Below is given an article
by Mr.. Lassetter regarding alfalfa,
how and when to plant, and the re-
suits of growing this great hay crop
at the Mena sub-station:
Every farmer in Polk county who
raises hogs, or even keeps COW
and a horse should have at least
an acre of alfalfa. The more stock
he keeps the larger his acreage in
alfalfa should be.
And right now is the time to be-
gin to prepare the land for this
crop.
There is much land in this coun-
ty which will produce fiar crop
of alfalfa with very little prepara-
tion, but one cannot afford to be
satisfied with only fair crop. We
must have the best results to be
obtained. The following method is
suggested for securing the best re-
suits with fall seeding:
If you have a field or patch you
would like to put into alfalfa
break the ground now and SOW it in
cowpeas, broadcast, at the rate of
from four to six pecks per acre. If
it is so desired the cowpeas can be
allowed to ripen, when they can be
picked and saved for seed. But it
would be far better to turn the en-
tire crop under quite deep just be-
fore the leaves begin to dry and
fall OF. After breaking disk and
harrow the ground until the clods
are all well pulverized and the field
looks like a garden bed. On small
areas the alfalfa can be seeded by
hand and should be put on at the
rate of twenty pounds per acre.
Cover it with the drag tooth section
harrow or the V shaped harrow.
This seeding should be done about
the last week in August or before
the middle of September.
The Mena Branch Station of the
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment
station has one acre of alfalfa that
was seeded four years ago. During
this time it has yielded from three
to four crops each year and gives
promise of good crops this year.
Considering the time it has been in,
it is remarkably free from foulness'
A small plat on another section
of the farm, seeded this spring, has
an excellent stand and is now max
ing a good growth. Another plat
following cowpeas will be seeded in
September. Another plat OF alfal-
ia on the place, which was seeded a
year ago, now stands knee high and
will be ready for cutting within a
week.
Any one interested in growing al
falfa in Polk county is invited to
call from time to time during the
year and watch the progress oi
these different seedlings.

Red Cross physicians returning

Last Saturday night porfirio Diaz,

festo in reply to the demands Of the
insurrectos that his resignation only
would bring peace, in which he de-
clared his intention TO resign as
soon as peace was restored. In the
words OF the manifesto, when,

science, / am sure that my resig-
nation will not be followed by an

or this manifesto, an official of
the Mexican government said: "The
die is cast; it is a battle TO the death
and when it is over, Porfirio Diaz
will still be president more firmly
lintrenched than ever"
In vain hope that peace might yet
be brought about by further parley-
ing, Francisco |. Madero, the provi-
sional president and insurrecto
leader, undertook to keep his SOL
diers in check, but they completely
overrode his authority and went in
battle, to which movement he was
later forced TO accede.

NEW YORK. March s.-The charge
OF larceny against Baron Richard
Won Arkovy was dismissed by Magis'
trate Corrigan In the Jefferson Mar
ket court today. The charge OF car
rying concealed weapons Is still In
effect and the. baron Is out on bond.
Julio s. Jarron, the Cuban vice-con-
sui, failed entirely TO substantiate his
allegations that 5000 worth OF proper
~ had been stolen from him. He
admitted that he owed the baron a
small sum and that he gave him the
jewels alleged TO have been stolen 10
have some work done on them.
Hugo Hunfalvy, an Austrian attor-
ney, was In court this morning. an In
terested spectator In the baron's case.
This man is not baron and has no
claim whatever 10 any title In any
European country" said Hunfalvy. His
assertion was corroborated by DIR. Ar
thus KoEma.
"Arkoyy is the son OF the late DR..
Aaron Bernstein of Budapest" de-
clared Hunfalvy. Bernstein changed
his name To Arkovy when he won hon
or as court dentist. The son be-
cause OF gambling debts and bad
habits was thrown out OF the army,
where career had been mapped out
for him He gained entry TO the high
est circles in London, where he be-
came engaged TO marry the daughter
of one OF the most aristocratic fam
lilies. To make an impression upon
the family or this young weman he
invited her father and a party OF
friends to hunt on his estate in Hun
gary.
ITO his CONSERVATION his invita-
ton was accepted. He wrote to Count
Itchy, who owns large estate and
informed him that he was bringing a
company OF English capitalists. Itchy
welcomed them. Arkovy told his Eng
lish friends that the estate was his
own and that Itchy was his superin-
tendent This the count found out
and ordered his samekeepers to boot
Arkovy OF the place. Arkovy then
came to America where he has contin-
ued his career of living by his wits.
