The Arkansas State Fair manage
ment has this year given more atten
ton TO amusement features for the
visitors than ever before, and a small
fortune has been invested in amuse-
ment enterprises for the 1912 fair.
A complete list of these big attrac-
tions is impossible at this time as the
booking of attractions is still going
on. Up to this time, however, the
management has booked three times
as many big shows and open air acts
than has ever been offered at pre-
vious fair:
The Dance of the Nations" and
The Unwilling of an Arkansas Gem, :
accompanied by great display of
day fireworks, is one of the big
features.
Pains Last Days of Pompeii,' the
greatest pyrotechnic spectacle ever
given, is another daily feature.
Fire chariot races every night
around the mile race course.
Eight big free aerial, acrobatic and
vaudeville acts, every day.
Balloon and aeroplane ascensions
and flights.
.lO1 Ranch" wild west shows, with
In the fair grounds.
Fifty big shows in Amusement Park,
afternoon and night.
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, and
other concessions.
Band and orchestra concerts, morn
ing, afternoon and night.
Grand parade of winners from the
live stock department.
Amusement Park will this year af-
ford the greatest attractions ever as
sembled including so big shows on ex-
hibition both afternoon and evening.
The following is a partial list OF
these big events. everyone Of which
has been a metropolitan attraction
during the summer months, and which
have been assembled here for the
final stand of the season.

KILL BOIL WEEV|LS
Necessity of Reducing Number OF
Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step in Producing Cot
ton as Found by Experimenters Is
Destruction of Foliage and
Squares.

(By G. II. ALFORHo, Special Agent of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work, Jackson, Miss.)
This is lesson No. one, and it should
be thoroughly learned. The need OF
so reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
10 the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weevils to the mini
mum First, completely denude the cot
ton stalks of foliage, squares and
bolls, the weevils sole food supply.
pillow the stalks under good and deep.
or burn the stalks at the earliest pos
sible moment in the fall. Second, at
some time during the winter destroy
the rubbish in and about the fields
which might serve as alternating
quarters for weeyils Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
in the spring pick them off and destroy
them. Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares and destroy them for at least
one month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
ers' demonstration work, the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thousands of successful farmers point
to the supreme Importance of the early
fall destruction of the boil weeviPs
sole food supply, the squares, small
hollis ond fO1iauo On tho cotton ct alkg
The conclusion reached by thousands
of experimenters justify me in making
the statement that the most impOr-
tant step in producing cotton in boil
weevil territory is. the early fall de-
struction of the foliage. squares, and
immature punctured hollis on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, feel almost JUS
titled in saying that the early fall de-
'struction of the cotton stalks outbal-
ances all other remedies that may be
employed to destroy the weevils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau Of Entomology in Calhoun
County, Tex, the stalks growing on
: 40 acres of land were destroyed early
lin October. Careful records kept dur
ing the following season showed that
the destruction Of stalks on this land
increased the yield $1456 per acre.
An experiment was conducted on OPP
posite sides of the Guadalupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part OF
September, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until in spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de-
stroyed made Is bales. Forty acres
ON the other farm made and IL bales.

Pasturing cotton fields is a good
method of destroying the squares,
bolls, and foliage-the sole food sup
ply of the mature weevils and the in
cubators of the immature weevils-
where the cotton fields are fenced and
the number of cattle turned into a
field is sufficient to eat all the squares

ever, let it be distinctly understood
that the practice of turning few head
of cattle into a fifteen or twenty acre
cotton and corn field accomplshes no
particular good. We all know from OBJ
servation that two or three head OF
cattle per acre, even when confined

of the green foliage in one week. And
let us not forget that it is necessary
to completely destroy the food supply

Flowing under cotton stalks is
good method of destroying the only

AGRICULTURAL. HALL
HAS BEEN ENLARGED
To Meet the Demand for More Than
Sixty Big County Exhibits
From Arkansas.

Some idea of the magnitude and ex-
tent of the 1912 State Fair can be had
from the fact that Agricultural Fall
where the farm and ranch products
are exhibited, has had to be enlarged
and completely re-arranged to meet
the heavy demand for exhibition space
by the people of Arkansas and other
sections.
This year the entire lower floor Of
this hall has been set aside for the
exhibitors from the different coun-
ties of the state, and sixty sections
have been set aside for these county
exhibits, which means that the agri-
cultural and horticultural products
from every section of the state will
be on exhibition This hall has been
entirely rebuilt, enlarged and rear
ranged to meet this demand. The eX-
hibit hall has been so arranged that
every county Of the state will have its
exhibit directly in view Of all visitors
and the different exhibits can be view
ed in regular order by simply passing
once through the first floor of agricul-
tural hall.
Ample space and like facilities have
been arranged for the exhibits from
other states and sections, and the mat
ter of viewing and comparing the diff
ferent exhibits has been arranged SO
that it consists of single big pano-
rama of exhibits.
For the first time in the history OF
the State Fair the capacity of Agri
cultural Hall has been taxed beyond its
capacity, but the management has
been equal to the occasion, and in
stead OF allowing the exhibits to crowd
the hall, have arranged to enlarge the
exhibition facilities and have placed
the exhibits into continuous exhibit
easy of access to visitors and at the
same time giving distinct advantage
to the exhibitors.
