jectsd into the campaigns, nut the
whole gamut of charge and counter
charge continues to be vigorously
played in discord. All the candi-
dates continue to flood the state
with their literature, and the print
ing offices and postoflices reap the
richest part of the harvest. The
retirement of Gen. Norwood leaves
the short session campaign without
an advocate on the stump, but the
initiation of the proposed Norwood
amendment is being pushed as
actively by the attorney general now
as when he was running for gov
ernor. He has already received
more than half enough names, and
by March l expects to have as many
as $4,000, or twice the number
needed. Donaghey continues to
defend and Robinson to hammer the
Tee-Jay bill, and while not forming
strong element III their campaign
speeches, their respective attitudes
on the liquor question is having
very considerable bearing on the
situation.
The campaign of the prohibition
forces for the initiation of the state
wide law is just getting into full
swing, under the direction of Rev.
Frank Barrett, who says they are
taking no part whatever in the
gubernatorial fight. The first of
the petitions was received last week
from Cabot, containing f2O names.
Some big plans are in prospect for
the propaganda.
The work of the Arkansas tax
commission for the year is being
concluded. and that the estimate
made last summer of an average
increase Of about half a million
dollars assessment to the county is
very nearly correct. The total
increase IN 81 counties that have
reported is $27,57G,OO or an
average of S493, 964. Boone county
reported the smallest increase, 50,
500, while Poinsett reported the
largest, Sl,979.8o7. Only three or
four counties report decrease.
While the political campaigners
are sweeping the state, the agricul,
tural canpaiguers are actively push
ing the interests of the new agri.
culture. The activity of govern
ment agents. the good advice of
Prof. Holden, the Iowa corn man,
at the teachers association, and the
movemant for the correlation of the
educational work with that of the
farm is productive of significant re.
suits, and the farmers place in the
world economy is being emphasized
thereby.
Farmers Institute meetings are
being held this month and next in
the eastern half of the state, under
the auspices of the Missouri Pacific
railway, This weeks institutes are
held at Eudorl, DermoLt, M0nticel-
10, and Warren. Addresses ale
being delivered at each of these
points by G. w, Watson, j. IL
Wilson, A. D. McNalr, Simon
Whitestone, and i. A. Markham,
each an expert in his particular
line. They are helping the pros

questions which they have PROFOUND
ed:
What are you going to do to beat

the boil weevll this year?
What are you going to do to
bring that 10 bushel corn yield up
to 40? '
Have you thought how you may
make a hand tend 35 or 40 acres
instead of IL or l5?
Have you thought how you may
raise and sell hogs and cattle instead
of buying meat and lard?
One of the most important ques-
tions confronting the farmer today
is that of diversifying his crops,
increasing his efficiency, and cir
cumvening the operations of the
boil weevil. Many experts have
advanced the theory that the weevil
will do very little harm to the 1919
cotton crop, because of the excessive
cold weather. Experiments seem
to have proven that the pest is
subject to freezing temperatures,
and cannot survive after he has
been well frozen. The percentage
of the pest with which the farmer
will have to contend this summer is
expected to be comparatively small,
and those most optimistic predict
that the weevll will pass in the
course of few years just a' the
grass hopper and the chintz-bug has
passed. The movement for reduc-
tion in the cotton acreage is grow
ing, and this year there will be a
greater amount of corn, rice and
other cereals raised than ever before.

Gone, but Not FORGOTTEN

1t is with sadness that we report
the death of Uncle Peter Shaver,

was S4 years and l month.

time and had done untold good in
the community In which he lived.
He was much devoted member of
the Christian church, minister of
the Gospel and leader in divine
worship in Sunday school at Pales,

He was an able instructor in the
Bible class and on each Lords day he

Arkansas was his native state, and

He attended the Old Settlers re

gallant soldier until the surrender,
when he came home and settled down

He leaves a wife ard seven
children, three sons and four daught-

the father of ten children, had forty
grandchildren and twenty one great
