PROF. JIG. FUTRELL
 ASSUMES CHARGE

Little Rock, June 30 Prof. J. c. Futrell, elected as acting pres ident of the University of Ark ansas, left for Fayetteville last night and today assums active charge of the institution, reliev- ing Dr. J. H. Reynolds, who to- morrow assumes the presidency of Hendrix College at Conway.
 Dr. Futrell could have been el- ected permanent head of the University at the meeting of the Board of Trustees held in Little Rock Saturday, but declined to have the board consider such a proposition until he has a year in which to prove that he can hand le the situation satisfactorily to all.
 The new president of the Uni verslty will begin improvements in the institution which he ex- poets to have bring a healthy ir. crease of students, and in addi, tion to this, he anticipates the most harmonious year in the his tory of the institution. He plans to start short courses in the az, ricultural college by which farm CTS may secure the advantages of the institution when they are not needed on the farm. The same will be done in the mechan- ical departments, especially en- gineering. The new educational dep artment will be opened with the coming year.

LATE CULTIVATION

corn will pay. Do not forget this. Most of the farmers like to get their corn laid by before the 4th of July. It's best not to fix time to lay by. Corn should be cultivated as long as you can get thru without injury to it, or say until the roasting ear stage. The last cultivation will pay as well as any of the others.
 It is not necessary to blow deep. Shallow cultivation is best. Break the capillary attraction by light cultivation and you will re- tain the moisture, and the mois- ture will be the means of convey ing plant food to the corn at the most important period of it's growth, just as it is beginning to fruit. Then you will leave the corn freer of weeds and grass. and the available plant food will be there for the corn, and not taken up by other vegetation. It takes the elements of plant life to sustain the weeds, grass, briers and thistles the same as cotton and corn, and if you keep them out you will have that much more available plant food for your crop; besides they choke the crop.
 What is true of corn is true of cotton, except that you can culti. vate the cotton for a longer per iod than you can corn. Cotton may be cultivated up to the time it begins to open, and if proper ly cultivated good returns will follow. It may look a little hard to the farmers to continue culti- vation so long and to set a t naught the almost traditional lay ing by period, and many will not do it, but those who do will learn at gathering time that they have made good money on their labor spent in late cultivation. If you are inclined to doubt, suppose you try it on part of your crop and notice and see if their is any difference in the final yield.
 Don't forget the sweet potato. It is fine thing to have enough sweet potatoes for family use if no more. There is plenty of time to get the slips and grow the crop. In fact you can cut the vine and set out enough to make good showing. A few cultiva tions will make the crop. Then prepare to keep them for winter use. They help out the winters rations, and keep down the gro cer's bill, Be careful about your sorghum patch. Green sorghum is poisonous to cattle. Do not give the cattle chance to run on the sorghum patch. Not even on the second growth after tke sor~ ghum has been cut. The green leaves contain prussic acid and that is rank poison. Remem- Der it is green sorghum that is so poisonous.
 Look out for the mad dogs. During the hot summer months is when hydrophobia breaks out among the dogs, and it will pay to shun the acquaintance of all strange dogs not with their mas ter. A little precaution along this line saves lots of expense, trouble and anguish, and some times life; so watch your dog and fight shy of the other fel- lows. Also look well after the
