In circuit court yesterday morning Judge Gotham upheld the action Of the county court in the refusal of a liquor license to John ]. sumpter, who had applied for a Kentucky Club license where one had previously been granted to Mrs. F. shannon. wife Of the lessee of the premises.
 The action of the circuit court coy- cred this point alone. that the county court had passed on the question in controversy, and that nothing was shown whereby it became apparent that the circuit court should interfere with the decision of the coraty court, which under the statutes is given q very wide scope of authority en the question of the issuance of liquor liz censes.

With the above as it's official and executive head, the Arkansas State Fair Association last night through its directors in large measure plan ned and laid out the work of the 1912 fair which begins with much enthr sitsm and with f.1 active board of di. rectors and officials representing the stockholders, who will see that the next fair is the biggest this state has ever known.
 There is a question yet of the ground, but no question as to the 1912 Arkansas State Fair. ii letter was read last night from Ionic Celia of the Oaklawn ownership which makes practically a demand for S5,000 from the association for the use of the grornds in 1912, but the directors did moi show disposition to meet tha. demand. and the matter was referred to the chairmen of the executive com mittee. finance committee, president and secretary, with power to act, and to make a report back to the direc- tors at no very distant date.
 The demand of the owners is not for profit, it might be remarked, but that the ownership wants all the fix ed snd current expenses of the grounds paid by the association, which as itemized by uhe representa- tive here, is close to the s5,000 mark.
 In retiring as secretary, MT. J. l. Wadley made happy speech in which he wished prosperity and sue, cess in all future fairs.
 The board of directors will hold meetings at frequent intervals, and it is their disposition to keep urging every method of advertising for the fair. to the end that outside inter- ests can be brought into cooperation with the local enthusiasts, and the fair made the biggest and best that has ever been held in this state, and will compare favorably with the big fairs of other states of the country

CORN OF
Low TERMINATION
SHOULD GO SLOW IN
PLANTING POOR SEED, SAYS
PROF. THos. SHAW - FAMINE
or GOOD SEED THIS SPRING
HOW TO PLANT SEED.

AS is generally known, there is at
the present time what may be termed
a famine for seed corn, says Prof.
Thos. Shaw in a recent bulletin. This
Is the outcome Of wet weather in the
autumn Of 1911 in conjunction with
freezing weather that came unusually
early and before the corn intended
for seed was dry. In consequence
more than so per cent OF all the seed
corn grown in all the northern states
from Lake Michigan is quite low in
terminating power, in fact so low that
but little Of it will sprout If planted.
OF the other SO per cent much of IL
is quite low in termination. More
than half Of 1t will not show a germ
ination of more than so per cent. The
available seed corn, therefore, for
1912. Of high quality, is probably not
more than rs per cent Of the needs Of
the growers.
Go Slow in Planting Poor Seed.
Many authorities are urging farmers
to SOW seed that will not show a ger
mination Of more than so per cent.
They are told to make up for the de-
hciency in terminating mower by in.
creasing the quantity Of the seed. For
instance. if the termination is only
75 per cent. to add one-fourth to the
usual mount of seed used in plant
Ing, and If it is but so per cent to
double the amount Of seed used. This
advice does not take into account the
fact that much OF the seed that does
terminate viii produce weak plants
that will nev make q satisfactory
growth. Nor does 1t consider the
further fact, that should the weather
conditions be adverse subsequently, to
the planting season, the kernels that
will only give weak termination. will
perish outright, whereas those OF
strong germiantion would not be in
jured. If the choice. therefore, is be-
tween using poor seed and not plant
ing at all, my Judgment would be not
to plant. The prices Of seed are nov
five times the usual price and even
many large seed houses have ceased
to furnish It at any price.
How Poor Seed Should Re Planted.
n the farmer decides to run the
risk Of planting seed quite low ii
germination, the hazard win be less
by growing the corn In drills for fod-
der than by planting 1T iii hills Tor
the grain. THE stalks from seed o,
weak termination will have q good
value in the fodder whereas these
stalks grown in hills would produce
no ears at all o only nubbins at the
best. It Is regretabie that the area
/ f1v nnr,, ahnf,IH baxyn ~ - ~u~+ws14.5
but the stern fact is before us, thai
enough good seed cannot be obtained
to supply the need. Would III no b.
better therefore. in all the dry countr,
to sumrne fallow land that was III,
tended FOR corn rather than to plan
corn on II that has a termination 81
low or lower than 80 per cent? Poo
seed Of n kind usually gives a Gro,
that is unsatisfactory but Of all poo
| seed that can be used, that OF corr
