Monday morning, September 80.
is the date set for the opening Of
the public school of Huttig and
everything is in readiness and
points for a successful year.
The most important feature of
the opening is for every pupil who
expects to take the course this
year to be there on time. They
will be put to a disadvantage if
they even wait to start the second
day-because they will be just one
day behind. And they can never
make that day up.
We would also imsress upon the
parents the benefit to be derived If
they will show an interest in the
school work and visit the school to
see how the pupils are progressing
occasionally.

Geography of Presidents.

1t has been about sixty-four
years since Virginia was the mother
of president. but she is going to
take up again her old occupation Of
furnishing the country with its
chief executive.
For Woodrow Wilson will be
elected in November. 1t is so
written in the book of political
destiny
In way Mr. Wilson is a COM
posite citizen; for besides his native
state, he has lived in North Caro-
lima, Georgia and New Jersey.
That he was good citizen every
where is proved by the fact that
each of these states is laying
partial claim to him as a son.
But Virginia having .borned"
him will write him on her list of
president-son Her roster runs:
Washington. jefferson, Madison.
Monroe, Harrison, Tyler and Tay-
lor.
The geography origin of our
presidents is interesting as study
Of sections and their varying IN
f1uences on public questions. Dur
ing the formative period of the re-
public it was Virginia and Masa-
chusetts that contributed the chef
official to the government. 1t was
not until the seventh president
that the election got away from
these two sections.
Next to Virginia, Ohio has been
the presidential mother with the
largest number of sons. Her list
numbers six: Grant, Hays, G; r
field, the second Harrison, McKln-
ley and Taft.
North Carolina and New York
have each given three presider is.
Those from the former were
jackson, Polk and Johnson. Al
though born in North Carolina, it is
a strange coincidence that each of
these men had become Tennessee
ians and went to Washington from
this state.
New York's contributions are
Van Buren,. Fillmore and Roo3e-
welt; Fillmore falling heir to the
unexpired term of his chief, Zach
erv Taylor.
New England claiming to be the
intellectual hub of the country, has
produced only four chief officials,
all told. Of these. Massachusetts
gave the elder and the younger,
New Hampshire gave Franklin
Pierce, and Vermont Chester A.
Arthur.
New Jersey is represented by
Grover Cleveland, Pennsylvania by
James Buchanan and Kentucky by
Abraham Lincoln.
These are the geographical
bearing of the men who have
served the country as chief exeou-
tives. In November the choice
will again between Virginia and
Ohio as the next mother, and as
was said above, Woodrow Wilson
will be Viroinias eighth son at the
head of the government. Com

Plant More Cats.

1t is strange that more attention
is not given to oats in Arkansas.
They are high grade feeding stuff
and most farmers buy oats. More
over, they make a heavier yield
than corn on nearly any kind Of
land and may be put to several
important uses.
1st. They are good winter
grazing crop for Central and South
ern Arkansas. The pasturage
they will furnish cattle. horses and
hogs will save a great deal of high
priced corn and imported hay dur
ing the idle winter months BY
taking the stock off about March
| a full crop of grain can be Sc
cured.
2nd. They are the best cont-ol
for coco grass in the river valleys.
Planted in the fall, they grow eff
ahead of grass in spring and crowd
it out to a great extent; then follow
oats with peas early in the summer
the "rass is densely shaded and
still further thinned out. At the
same time this rotation greatly i'm
proves the fertility of the soil
Ord. They fit admirably into
combination for producing crop
of grain and crop of hay on the
land the same year. This comb
nation is oats and le8pedeza (Jaban
clover. The oats should be sown
in the fall and the lespedeza in the
spring, on the oats. This comb
nation on good land should give 40
bushels of grain and two tons of
hay to the acre.
Time to plant-Throughout
Central and Southern Arkansas
oats should be planted in the fall
from September Is to November
|. Fall planting is best for either of
the purposes mentioned.
Preparation of land--Land that
is comparatively free from trash
and unrotted vegetable matter
should be selected for oats. 1t
should be broken Immediately and
should be narrowed till it is thor
oughly pulverized and firmed.
Special attention should be given
to frming the soil; otherwise Sc
we're winter killing may result.
The seed-If grain crop, as
we'll as grazing, is desired it will be
best to use the red rust proof oats.
Secure native seed if possible as
the Texas grown oats are likely to
contain Johnson grass seed. If
the oats are to be used only for
grazing purposes the winter turf
variety will be most satisfactory.
Plant two bushels of seed to the
acre. 1t is best to plant with a
grain drill if this is available; and
if hand planting is necessary do the
work very carefully so as to ac-
complish uniform distribution of
the seed.
Combinations In following fall
oats with peas break or disc the
ground as soon as the grain has
been removed and plant the peas
Use from ? to 2 bushels Of peas
to the acre.
In the oats-iespedeza combina-
ton the oats are planted at the
usual rate and the lespedeza is
soWn on the oats early in March at
the rate of 70 to Is pounds of
seed to the acre.

Munsey's Writer Tells
Of Southern Delegates

In an Illuminating article in the Mum
sey for February, Judson c. Welliver
attacks the system in the Republican
party that permits a disproportionate
nower to Southern Republicans in Pres
idential conventions; Writes he:
Approximately half the votes neces-
sary to control the Republican party in
a national convention represent the DO
litical machines of eleven Southern
states, no one of which States has cast
an electoral vote for a Republican Pres
idential candidate since 1876.
These machines are nothing but
brokerage corporations dealing in Fed
eKal patronage. They are composed of
Government officials, bossed by Govern
Rent officials. fed on Government Of
fees, and kept alive for no other pur-
pose than to deal in these offices.
"They represent no principles of the
