PRODUCE MORE CORN

Last year there were 1884, ,OOO
acres planted to corn in Arkansas
The average yield was twenty-four
bushels. We can easily raise this
average to fifty bushels by proper
seed selection and better methods
of cultivation. Also by planting
our corn on better land than we
used for this purpose last year.
Land that will only produce fif-
teen bushels Of corn per acre should
not be planted to corn, but should
be planted in cow-peas, peanuts,
soy-beans or some other leguminous,
nitroeen-bearing plant.
If you only have few acres OF
good land that you can use for corn,
plant this and by giving it the pro-
per attention make more than you
would on a larger acreage with slip
shod methods Of cultivation.
Land that is to be planted to
corn should be well filed with hui
mus or decaying organic matter.
If the land is deficient in plant food
use a good fertilizer containing the
needed plant food. A 3-6-3 fertiliz-
er is usually best suited to corn in
this state.
But good land and fertilizer will
not result in any profit to us unless
we have we'll prepared seed bed,
and devote some time to seed Sc
lection and cultivation. We should
more than half make our corn crop
before we plant it. Harrow once
thoroughly after planting and before
the corn is up.
The preparation of the seed bed
is one of the most important essen
tials in securing profitable corn
crop.
Our Door Yields are due in many
instances to poor seed more than
any other one thing. If seed corn
must be bought we should insist on
getting the seed in the ear. Then
will we at least have the advantages
of knowing something of the forma-
ton and characteristics of the par
Sharp County record., 1911-03-24

ent ear. We should never select
seed from the crib in a hap-hazard
manner, and to successfully raise
corn we will have to devote more
attention to seed selection in the
field for the stalk, and from the in
dividual ear after field selection has
been made for grain formation, etc.
We should also test our own seed
corn for terminating by planting a
few grains from each ear in a test
box, numbering the ears to find
those of poor terminating quality
as well as those which show a
strong termination.
Now is the time to begin to think
about planting corn and | am writ
ine this article to call attention to a
few matters of vital importance to
those who hope to grow corn
This department will gladly coop
crate with you.

A few days ago the ARKANSAS
cozotte in an article occupying a
Eco,n1e Of columns, advised the IS
|euance of bonds to the amount OF
lane million dollars for the compile
Zion Of the new state capitol. How
Edoes that strike you? We hope 1t
|doesn't knock you down.
The Gazette's article contains
kseveral interesting points. One IS
fthat the new capitol was to cost,
originally, only one million dollars
4 (The public knew that.) Another
Is that already a million and a
Ehalf dollars have been spent on the
NEW capitol. (The public did not
know that, and, in fact, doesn't
KNOW it yet. The public will prob
Eably never know how much money
|bas been spent ON the new capl-
|tol.) Another is that another mil
|]ion dollars will be required to COM
|plete and furnish the new capitol
\ (The public is becoming used to a
Hot of things and would not have
Tainted if the Gazette had made it
live millions instead of one.) An
|other is that it will require several
Wears yet to complete the new cap
|itol with money derived from taxa
|tion. (That doesn't make the pub
|lic gasp either; the public stopped
|easpins long ago. Therefore it is
1.-The Gazette'S idea to issue and sell
|state bonds in the sum of a million
dollars and with the money thus
acquired complete the new capitol
|speedily. The Gazette argues, too,
|that those who are paying the taxes
|row should not bear the total cost
of the new CAPITOL that the building
Twill be used by those who are now
|toming on as citizens, and that they
|should assist in footing the BILL
We doubt if the plan advanced
|by the Gazette with meet with any
considerable amount Of approval
lover the state. The idea of issuing
bonds for any purpose is not a pop
|ular one in this state, and there is
perhaps no chance at all that the
people of Arkansas are willing to
sanction a bond issue for the So
called purpose of completing the
|new capitol. Too much dust has
ALREADY been thrown in the eyes of
the people about the construction
Of the new capitol. There is too

FOR HUNGRY TIGER FANS

Byrnes would be the first-string
receiver, as soon as his hand
mended, and they had Burke and
Seibt for the extra job. Just to
make 1t sure they made a deal
for Rex DeVogt, and as there was
a shortage of Unfolding material
Eddie Burns was included in the
deal Shredder and Graham put
through. In one of the practice
games of Sacramento there was
no one to play short for the Ii
gers. McFadden was laid UP
with a sore ankle and Jaeky War
rem told Mike to have Eddie
Burns, then ON the Sacramento
bench, play short. Eddie made
four or five Ibungles that day and
Mike gave Jacky the laugh. At
ter another game or two Mike
thought Eddie would do for a
utility man and Shredder bought
him from Graham. Shredder had
never heard that Burns could

There were two bright particu-
lar stars at the little session at
Athletic Park yesterday afternoon.
One was Mr.. Fred Annis, erstwhile
cratic southpaw, and the other
was Michael Joseph Lynch, of
Lynch-Ward fame. OF the two
stars. the palm must be conceded
to Mr.. Annis, who shut out Eddie
Householder's islanders, and held
them to two hits-both secured by
one 100000, by the way.
The box score shows that Annis
whitfield only three islanders, while
Brown, opposing him, had six of
the Tigers pounding the air, but
that doesn't tell the story by any
means. Annis was there with bells
at every stage of the game, and he
had support that was strictly gilt
edged.
Lynch speared HOUSEHOLDER
long drive in the second, that
might have proved fatal to Mr.. An
MIS- no-score aspirations, but out
side Of that the Tigers were never
in any danger. One Islander got
as far as third, but Eddie Burns
threw him out from the plate with
a nice peg. Fisher did something
unusual-muffed a throw-but
Fisher hit a nice two-bagger to
center, stole third, and scored on
Bassey's double, SO the fans didn't
mind. The score:
