Arkansas Unreasonable Sunday
 Law.

To the Editor of The Star:
 I was pleased to read the article in your Thursdays paper, quoting Attorney General Moose as opposed to Arkansas unreasonable Sunday law. What he said about soft drinks, ice cold being a necessity now, applies with equal force and effect to other articles prohibited from being sold on Sunday, to-wit: Ice, milk, fresh meats, newspapers, tobacco and cigars, and quite a number of other articles might be enumerated, but these suffice. It is amazing that sensible legislators have not ere now properly amend ed the Sunday law, and permit the people to have some few liberties in purchasing things in universal Use. and on sale almost everywhere on Sunday, as well as other days of inc week. It is 10 be hoped the next legislature will do this among the first measures to be passed. We al- so have other foolish laws in need of amendment or repeal. as they are not enforced One such is that against swearing in public, and I will submit that our laW-enforcing officers hear this law violated eV- cry day. Why try to enforce an obnoxious Sunday law in one little corner of Arkansas, anyway? It is well known that in most of the state it is not regarded. How can we expect to make Mena a popular summer resort if people who come here cannot get on Sunday such necessities as the attorney general of Arkansas speaks of, together with ice, milk, fresh meats, etc.
 Let us hope that Judge Bowling and Prosecuting Attorney Collins can be prevailed upon to look at the Sunday law as does our distin- guished attorney general, Col Moose. and allow Mena to have the same liberty of securing these lit- tle necessities the same as the peo- pie of Little Rock, Hot Springs, Ft. Smith. TeXarkana, Pine Bluff. Cam den and other cities all over the state until the next legislature meets. when we hope to see the Sunday law properly amended.

and be sure that your seed is good Test your seed. Take two common table plates or saucers and two small pieces of cloth. Wet the cloths double one and put in one plate, sprinkle on 50 or 75 seeds, double other cloth and put on top, then set your other plate on it as though you were stacking them up and set all away for IS hours, and the good seed will be sprouted. If the seed makes a low test you should put more seed to the acre As alfalfa seed contains about 22.- GOO seed to the pounds 9 pounds to the acre would give i25 seed to the square foot
 I guess I have said enough about alfalfa and will talk about cow peas, clover, grasses, pastures and hogs.
 We have good cowpea hay and have put up as high as i39 bales to the acre. We have good clover and grass for hay. Of clover we have put up 12S bales from an acre We have red clover, red top and timothy We have learned that sowing red top or timothy, either one, with red clover, is a relative failure. because there are other grasses that are far ahead of this mixture Have tried several kinds of grass and clover. Have six va rietles of grass growing on my place and six kinds of clover.
 l make plenty of hay for my own use and some to sell. have a blackboard out in front of my house, and when I have anything to sell l advertise it on the board. | grow some stock as well as grass, and sometimes they make me take my sign down. They made me take lt down last year, but it cost them a little over S700 for hogs and s2i5 for milk COWS, and they have failed to make me take it down this year, though they have paid me siS0 for hay, or promised to do SO and as they looked like pretty good fellows l let them take it along My total sales of hay and corn and meat and of cattle that I had grown or bought when they were yearlings and kept until grown, except two cows which l bought in the winter when they were poor and fed them until they gave milk, has amounted to Sl l,0S3 up to June : this year.
 Yes, l have pasture for my mules and cows and one for my hogs. We have in our hog pasture red clover, alsike clover white and Japanese clover, red top, timothy orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass.
 Yes, and we've got one old sandy razorback SOW in there. I reckon she is a long-nosed razorback. for when she raises up her back it is 2 feet 9 inches from the ground and the end of her nose is 8 feet from the end of her tail.
 Now. what have you done? If you have a better plan than mine to make farm life a success bring 1t along for I want it. I do not claim 10 have the best way or know the best way, but do claim to prac- tice the best I know
 If this misses the waste basket I will come again before long and give what I know about preparing

 ment Station. Fayetteville. Ark.
 Those interested in growing win fer oats. spring oats or winter wheat should not fail to visit the Nena Sub-station of the University of Arkansas within the next week or two.
 IL is commonly said that oats will produce more grain than will corn. Although this may some time be doubted. the oats grown at the Nena Sub-Station will prove pretty strong evidence. The four varie- ties of turf oats seeded about the latter part of last October are pro- ducing an abundance of grain and straw. These oats stand practical ly four feet high and are very thick OH the ground. Likewise. the Red Rust Proof are making a most eX- cellent crop. Side by side with these five varieties of winter oats, five varieties of spring oats are showing their ability to make a quick crop. These were seeded on February 9, during very cold weather, and yet they are in prac- tically the same stage of maturity as are the winter oats. However, the straw is much shorter on the spring oats than on the winter oats, and the crop will be much lighter. Those who are interested in growing a crop for early feed and crop which should take the place of corn should not fail 10 see this comparison of the five winter and the five spring varieties of oats
 The five varieties of winter wheat are doing exceptionally well, although the Zimmerman and Blue Stem are exceptionally early. and their yield will hardly be as heavy as that of the Fulcaster and pos sibly the Red May The Sibley New Golden seems 10 be a little bit too late for Polk county conditions. The yield on these plats this year will vary from 20 to 2S bushels per acre. The Fulcaster will probably yield the highest The kernels of all the wheat are large and plump. being well filled
 A very striking example of the value of vetch for early feed is shown in a plat where hairy vetch was seeded with rye about the last week in October. The rye stands about six feet tall with a thick mass of hairy vetch very nearly as tall as the rye. Next year the hairy vetch will be seeded with a small crop of winter oats with a view of producing a more valuable mix ture for feed. Such feed. whether the vetch be mixed with rye or oats. is most valuable this time of the year, because if takes the place of both corn and hay. which as a gen eral rule are most expensive dur ing the months of May and June.

HOW VI. E. FRIED GROWS
 ALFALFA AND OTHER THINGS
To the Editor.

To the Editor.
 Dear Sir:-When T. P. Fulton and others told Us a few years ago, when we had the tilt over the hog law, what they were going to do with clover and alfalfa, We prom ised them that some day we would tell them what we had done, and now. with your permission, we will try and deliver the goods
 On the 18th day of January, 1911, we went out on our farm and meas ured off one acre of land in the bottom, broke ii 12 to ii inches deep with turning blow and left it alone until March following. Then laid it of in one-fourth acre plots.
 On plot No. 1 we put 200 pounds of lime.
 On plot No. ?, foo pounds of com mercial fertilizer.
 On plot No. 3. 1000 pounds of barnyard manure
 Plot No. we divided into two parts. On one of these scattered
 i50 pounds of dirt from an alfalfa patch and narrowed it in before the sun shined on it. The remain ing eighth of an acre was left with out anything being put on it. Iarch ' we soWed 20 pound
 of alfalfa seed on this acre of land, using a drag harrow to cover with, and ill a short time had as good a stand of alfalfa as wanted. and this held its own until the first part of June, when it all began to fail ex- cept on the one-eighth acre. where the soil was inOculated with dirt from the old alfalfa patch. You could stand 200 yards away and tell where the alfalfa field dirt had been put. Could not tell any diff ference in the other plots except where had put the barnyard ma nure, and here the crop grew good. a great deal better than anywhere else. I moved this patch every time the leaves began to look red all that year. had as good a stand on the inoculated patch as anybody need want, and about one-fOurth stand on the rest of it.
 
 In September 1 sowed some more seed and took a disk harrow and run over it several time and rolled it. In March following I repeated this process with the seed and disk. Last year I got a few bales off this patch. Our stand is still good where we used dust from field and is about three-fourths of stand on the rest. Some of it grew four feet two inches high this year. I have cut it and have 90 to 60 bales ready to bale from this one acre. and have sowed some more patches. Inoculation and field that is free of weeds, especially crab grass, is what is needed for alfalfa.
 When it is planned to SOW alfal- ia the land should he plowed to a depth of 12 inches and should lie month or six weeks before seed- ing. Where closer than six weeks to seeding it should be done in Sep tember. Sow 9 pounds at least to the acre. cover with a drag har- row and then run a roller over if. Be sure and do moi SOW weed seed

MURDER AND PENALTY.

The people of Arkansas were a good deal interested when it became known that Governor FutrelI had put aside his regular duties and routine and had made a personal trip to Hot Springs to see Clarence A. Schumann, the wife murderer under sentence of death. They could but wonder what the result would be when the governor looked upon the face and talked with the man whose life he held in his hands.
 At the appointed time, Schumann paid the penalty as prescribed by his peers in court and jury and just how it came about, and just what sentiments prevailed in the mind of the governor in permitting the sentence to be carried out is in- teresting reading-and, more, is a very serious sermon to lawbreak- CTS and to human nature in general.
 Tn this the governor deals par ticularly with a phase of law, or custom, which often clears men of murderous crimes on the grounds of temporary insanity, resulting from jealousy or use of drugs or whisky. His treatment of this phase is certainly logical and should be widely considered by the courts as

CATCHING THE FLIES.

Oscar Bush. whom nearly all Mena knows. made some remarks on flies while in the city that are worth notice.
 Nr. Bush states that flies have been 50 great a pest in his present home. Shreveport, that the whole city has at Inst joined in a crusade of extermination. As a result. practically all the business houses where flies are in the least attracted have put out traps. and with the result that a weeks campaign has made great showing. The fly pop uI9,ion has diminished greatly.
 Experience has shown that the best bait for the traps is bananas either peels or over-ripe OF spoiled ends. This bait, Mr. Bush states has been generally adopted in Shreveport. and he says Mena can almost annihilate it's fly colony in a week if the people will put out traps so baited.
 Mena is fortunate in the fact that 1t has few flies in comparison to other places, and in the absence of typhoid fever, infantile paralysis and many other diseases. But that's no good reason for neglect of sani- tary measures.
 Clean up the spots where flies and mosquitoes breed and then set out the traps-and try banana bait.

To anyone who likes the dainty huckleberry either as sauce. pie, or in other ways. Freeman L. Johnson has something 10 make the mouth Water-a domesticated bush that bears the berries by the gall lon, and much larger and finer than the wild kinds. The bush grows about five feet in height and has been ripening berries for more than two weeks, while many are yet entirely green. Mir Johnson brought a couple of heavily laden branches to the office of The Star as a sample.

THERE'S \ REAsON!.


 When things are not as they should be. there's always a reason. and as a rule the cure is never found. or at least applied. until the reason is found and understood
 This applies as much to roads Polk county roads in particular-as to any other matter of ordinary everyday life.
 Polk county roads are in a la mentable condition. It is not of record that they have been worse since they were made better years ago. We all want this condition remedied. and for the same reason we all want 10 know why the con- ditiOn exists.
 It is common talk that the over seers are at fault It is even said that some are more interested in working the money out of the treasury than in working the bad spots out of the roads. Others take the easy way and merely shout graft
 But if the overseers are at fault. if they fail because they don't know how roads should be built. or because they do not know how to efficiently direct their work ing forces. or because they them selves are incompetent or indif- ferent or even dishonest, one or all. the fault lies finally with the law that allows such conditions to eX- ist, and the further fact that it provides no ready and easy way to bring pressure to bear to make the overseers make good" on their jobs.
 Polk county Is divided into some thing like twenty districts. and has as many overseers-each elected by his neighbors-too often because he works for the place and is a good neiehbor and good fellow-too often not because he is a really good road builder. Then. when the man is elected and gets careless or fails to do all expected, there's no one with power to demand better service except someone gets so sore" that he goes before the grand jury and causes an indictment against his neighbor-not a pleasant thing, at best
 Things are, therefore, in a had way-and The Star firmly believes the laws are to blame. A new sys- tenn must be devised-sOme system that will assure the people that the money spent shall be well spent, that the roads built shall be well built and when built shall be con- stantly supervised and rebuilding thereby avoided.
 Reforms seldom come except from evils that have become un- bearable to the people. Perhaps this road condition in Polk county has not yet gotten to such a point Perhaps the people must suffer much more loss, much more waste and annoyance, before they will rise up and insist upon a change.
 But it's got to come, and the sooner the better
 There's a reason why our roads are so bad. why it costs so much to bring products to market, why it is so unpleasant to travel over OuT county.
 Seek it out-then pound it out ot existence.
 Roads and schools we must have if we live and thrive Get the road; and there will be no such thing a; keeping out the schools.
