Many people, not Knowing the facts, blame the levee board for permitting the building of the dump from the bridge over the Mississippi river to Bridge Junction, thus cutting down the outlet for the water to about a mile in width. About eight years ago a bill was introduced in the legislature permitting the railroad to ill in this dump. It was fought desperately by the levee board, and finally, as a com promise, it was left to the decision of the Mississippi River commission, who decided that the building of the dump wOuld'not interfere with the flow of the water This decision of the commission insured the passage of the bill, because the opponents thought certainly scientific men knew more than they did about the river but, strange 10 say, the dump was nearly completed before the passage of the bill.

Cheer up There are others who will suffer far more than we will, al though this is the second year in sue cession the St. Francis valley has been devastated by the floods Those poor people who lived behind the break at Mayersyille, Mississippi, had very little warning, many head of their cattle and stock were drowned, and the pres ent prospect for making crop is gloomy indeed whereas, this year, in the St Francis basin, the people had ample warning. through which they were enabled 10 get themselves, their stock. cattle and household effects re- moved to places of safety, with every indication now pointing to the fact that the flood will get away rapidly and in plenty of time for all concerned to make good crop.

The optimism of the average man who lives in the bottoms is one of the wonders of the age. A settler in the valley, Nho was removing his family and household effects into the up- stairs story of his dwelling, was asked, Do you think there will be an over- fiow:' to which the bottomite replied, 'Oh, no; m not looking for much high water" And this is the spirit, even in the face of repeated floods and disasters, that is destined to con tinue to make the St, Francis valley one of the greatest agricultural areas in the world. There is a future for this rich and fertile region that will reach it's fruition when the proposi- tion of controlling the river is sue. cessfully taken in hand by the United states government

Open Letter to Mir. Tipton.

FORREST CITY, ARK, \ pril 2, 1913. To J. H. Tipton, County Treasurer:
 An editorial in The Forrest City Times of April 18th, in commenting on your candidacy for the office of treasurer, spoke Of certain conditions that are revelation 10 at least some of the taxpayers of the county, and since you have so kindly offered to answer questions and furnish informa- tion concerning the books and affairs of the treasurer's office, it will not, l hope, be asking too much Of you to state through the columns of The Times, where all can read it, just what is meant by the editorial when it says: that our depos- itory is in such a complicated condi- tion that it will take time to straight en it out, the legal depository being in Palestine and the funds having been retained here" meaning Forrest City,
 The county records show that the Bank of Palestine (with paid-up capital of S3750.00 according to it's last certificate filed with the clerk, and located at Palestine, village oi about POO population, about six miles west of Forrest City;) is the legal de pository of all the public funds of St. Francis county, which are collected annually from the taxpayers of the county, and which aggregate about Sl25, GOO co a year, and some of us were ignorant of the fact that the Bank Of Palestine operated branch bank in Forrest City until the editorial in question informed us that the funds were kept here in Forrest City.
 As all matters pertaining to the col lection, safe-keeping and disbursement of the public funds should be well known and thoroughly understood by the general public who pay this money into the treasury, l am asking you to answer especially what is meant by the editorials intimation that the past methods of keeping the public funds are GO nplicated:'
 You will also please state if, in fact. the Bank Of Palestine operates a branch banking house in Forrest City. and by and through whom and also state if you know of any other branch banking houses that are operated by the Bank of Palestine-with it's paid up capital stock of s3750 00.
 The people, some of whom go ragged and hungry and deny their families every comfort and pleasure in order to pay in this tax money. have right to know all about the concern that handles the money, and if it is tinan- cially able to comply with it's contract to pay the county. road and school funds the money deposited there, with interest on daily balances at rate of 6i per cent per annum, when one years interest on the funds at the rate named should equal, if not ex- ceed the total paidup capital of the concern that handles it.
 Our present county judge is also president of local bank, and under the law could not contract with his own bank as the depository Has he accomplished the same result indi- rectly by contracting with the Bank of Palestine as the county depository, and yet keeping the funds in his own bank2 TAXPAYER.

Alfalfa in Maine

DR.. Heber Bishop of Boston. a well
known sportsman. who has recently
become interested in agriculture, has
succeeded in being the first person TO
successfully grow alfalfa in the State
of Maine.
Although several attempts have
been made to grow alfalfa no one has
successfully been able to do this, and
at the request of the United States
government DR., Bishop experimental
with alfalfa. He planted four half
acre plots, each with different seed.
The government had sent him the
four kinds of seed, Dakota, Kansas,
Swiss and Canadian. and each grew
as well as the other, all four yield
ing two tons to an acre. In order to
successfully grow the alfalfa, how
ever. it was necessary to bring some
soil from Massachusetts to the "Har-
mony Lodge" farm in Maine.
DR.. Bishop placed the seed in the
soil which was brought from tHe eS-
tate of Professor Grosyenor. a leading
agriculturalst, in this way inoculat-
ing it with the bacteria in the soil
in which alfalfa had been successfully
planted.
Forty pounds of seed were sent to
DR. Bishop by the government de-
partment, with the request that he
make the experiment. The alfalfa
was of excellent quality and grew
from 20 to "a inches high Without
doubt there are more persons inter
ested in growing alfalfa in the yici-
nifty of Skowhegan, than elsewhere in
Somerset county.
