A Pleasant Social Affair.

One of the social events of last week was the entertainment given the B. Y. P. U. society at the home of Mrs. J. B. Crockett on Friday evening. As the guests approached the house their first inclination was to boiler fire" but on closer obser- vation they learned that it was only the decorations for the occas
 ion that caused the momentary alarm, as the entire porch was a mass of beautiful Japanese lan- terms suspended from the ceiling. Each guest was met at the en- trance and escorted to table laden with delicious bowl of punch and served in dainty way by Mrs. w.
 H. Moore. Several games were participated in and presently we noticed our hostess had deserted us; however she soon returned bringing with her a big saucer for

Plant Bermuda Grass.
Go.Examiaef

Every farm should have it's per manent pasture. Such pasture does net have to be renewed an naully nor cultivated and the beef, pork and milk it makes and the feed it furnishes the work stock is very nearly clear profit. It is something the farmer does not have to work for.
 Permanent pastures of tame grass yield as large or heavier gross returns in money as the eul- tivated lands of the farm and usual ly much larger net return. As an example, on the Louisiana State Experiment Station Bermuda grass pasture gives annually gain of from 800 to 400 pounds Of pork and beef to the acre. At prevail ing prices this is equal to half bale of cotton and it is all profit.
 A permanent pasture also makes possible the profitable use of poor lands and the protection of disinte- gating hill sides. The upland regions of Arkansas contain many broken hilly farms that have been almost ruined by erosion. If cul- tivated crops are raised on them few more years they will have to be abandoned. These lands should all be turned into pastures. The slopes should be sodded to some good perannlal grass. This will permanently and completely stop the washing and at the same time maintain profitable agriculture.
 The best grass for a permanent pasture is Bermuda. This grass should be planted during April or May. The land should be well broken and then narrowed till 1t is level and smooth With a shovel or bull tongue blow lay off furrows three feet apart. This completes the preparation. For planting use Bermuda sod rather than the seed. Plow up a plot of Bermuda sod and tear it to pieces with a heavy harrow. Gut the sod or roots into small pieces with some sharp im- plement and drop the pieces into the furroWs at intervals of about two feet. The pieces should then be almost completely covered with dirt. The covering can be done well and rapidly with the foot. This completes the planting. With good seasons the g ass should fur

Red1cc the Cotton AcreaGe.

The continued spring rains and the overf1ows have disarranged cropping plars on many farms. The usual time for planting the main corn crop has passed. with but little planted: and the normal season for planting cotton is now here. Many think this will result in the planting of much cotton and little corn and other crops.
 This would be unWse. Surely our farmers have not forgotten so soon the experience of last year with big cotton crop Everyone knows that a 12,O0O,OOO bale crop of cotton will actually sell for more money than l5,oOO,0OO bale crop; and, with the small crop. the producer saves enormously on the rent of land and the cost of labor to produce and gather the crots.
 Let the big crop be a corn crop. Corn does as well planted in May or June as in March or April. The corn can be made for l2 or l5I cents bushel, while if cotton is raised to buy it. it is likely to cost from 70 cents to $l bushel. Plenty of corn means good stock and fat hogs to furnish the home meat supply and to ship to the packing houses. That means prosperity for the farmer.
 Do not forget to plant sweet potato crop. The surplus above family requirements can be sold l for good price. One Arkansas farmer last year sold several thousand bushels of sweet potatoes at s per bushel. The best com mereial varieties are Nancy Hall, Dooly and Horn.

Ring Rule Over
thrown in Louisiana

The people. in single campaign,
got control of the government in
New Orleans. 1t is almost passed
belief. Judge Luther E. Hall will
be the next Governor. and Robert
Broussard., the U. S. Senator, for the
term beginning in 1915. A second
primary was avoided by both
Michel and Sanders surrenderlng,
the odds being against them. The,
result of the hotly contested elec
tion sounds the death knelI of ring
rule and machine politics in
Louisiana. The Times Democrat
has made a magnificent fight for
Good Government and in the inter-
est of the people and deserves a
victor's crown. Throughout the
campaign the editorials of this
great daily have been most valuable
reading and inspiring literature,
the influence of which will outlive
any one concerned in this great and
wonderful contest. Again the
people rule with the power of the
press to uphold their cause!

Il Tie Boil Weeyil
Really Checked

Dr. VI. D. Hunter, chief ento-
moI0Rist Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, and there
fore the highest authority on the
subject. says that the recent cold
wave over the cotton belt has given
the boil weevil a setback of at least
two years. and was therefore worth
millions Of dollars to the farmers
of the Sonth.
We hope. of course, that DR..
Hunter is right about it. and his
testimony on the subject, while not
based on actual investigation, is
naturally given more weight than
any theory that might be offered by
an Individual,
Nevertheless. it is to be hoped
that the cotton growers Of the
South will not allow themselves to
be delnded with the idea, that the
weeVil was rendered hnrs du COM
bat BY the cold wave.
Certainly, the cheerful theory of
Dir Eunter. issued from the
national capital where be has not
had an opportunity to examine any
weevIls in hibernation. and ascer-
tain whether they are dead or
alive should not encourage farmers
to revert to the all-cotton crop idea.
ID TACT. it is more than likely
that Il this particular section we
are gong to have as many weevils
this year as last, and perhaps a few
more.
Or. Hunters assertion is merely
a Theory and not an established
fact It should carry no more
weight than that ordinarily attach
ed 10 an undemonstrated theory.
