ADVICE AS TO
SEED SELECTION
IN CORN PLANTING Time
JNO. H. PAGES WEEKLY LET
TER TO THE FARMERS OF
ARKANSAS.

Corn planting time Wit soon be-
here. First of all, get some good seed.
There are several good varieties
Some like one and some another. It.
lis better to confine your crop to one
or two varieties. The Johnson Coun-.
ty White, the Reid Yellow Dent, and
number of others are good, but be
sure and select some good variety
and then get good seed.
The best way is to buy your seed
from some man who makes a speciality
lof growing seed corn. Buy the corn
in the ear and shell it yourself. Be
sure it has been tested to see how
Inuch will come up when planted.
1ood seed men test their corn Seed
corn bought this way will cost more,
but it pays. You are going to culti-
vate the land anyway, so see that the
seed are what they ought to be in va
1.ety and quality. If you plant your
corn in rows three and one-haf feet
apart, and have one stalk in the row
to every IS inches, your corn viii not.
be too thick, and you will have 8,40O
stalks. If each stalk bears one good
ar, and 100 ears make bushel, you
would make 81 bushels per acre. This
would not be an unreasonable yield to
expect under favorable conditions on
good or well-fertilized land. Yet, how
many farmers make it? However, if
25 per cent of the seed should not
come up, the yield would be cut off 25
per cent or 81 bushels per acre. You
may not agree with my figures, but if
you don't, then get pencil and paper
and figure some yourself. What you
may learn by figuring may help you.
Don't plant the corn too thick, but
get good stand and protect it. Don't
let the teams break it down or bite it
off during cultivation. 1t will make 3
big difference when you go to crib it
in the fall.

the Arkansas State Normal. The vote
was ayes as, noes 81.
This is one of the most important
measures pending in the legislature,
and now that it has passed the house
by safe majority, it is believed that
the senate will not hesitate over the
bill. The dormitory in its unfinished
condition is practically worthless to
the state, and this appropriation will
be sufficient for its completion and al
so to establish a central heating sta
tion which will be a great saving to
the state.

ARBITRATION BILL
FAILS IN SENATE
BONDS SIZE IS THE ISSUE
OTHER BILLS PASSED-GOVER-
NOR REPORTS MEASURES
SIGNED.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-All hope for
arbitration of the Caldwell & Drake
claim against the state apparently
vanished Monday afternoon when the
senate, by vote of % to 6, declined
to reduce the bond to be filed by the
former contractors from 100000 to
$4,000.
1t was explained that the bond was
bar to any settlement of the claim,
as no one could give it, and Senator
Covington offered to amend by max
ing the bond $4,000, which would COW
er the costs OF the proceedings. Sen
ator Jacobson, who introduced the
bill naming the supreme court as the
board of arbitration, and placing the
bond at 100000, offered the amend
ment to reduce to $4,000.
Senator Moore offered an amend
ment making the reduction condition
al upon the old bond given by the con-
tractors standing, out of which to take
any judgment rendered in favor of
the state Senator p A Rodgers OBJ
jected to the reduction on the grounds
that it would cost the state $50, 600
to go into the case fully and reach a
settlement, even if the state won.
The vote on the amendment was as
follows:
Nay-Ashley, Christian, Deaton
Ferguson, Friedell, Futrell, Great
house, Holt, Lundy, Mccall, Overman
Owens, Phillips, Raney, Rodgers
Rodgers, Smith, Toler, Wagner. Was
son, White, Woods, Mr.. President-22
Aye-Covington, Going, Hughes
jacobson, Martin, McBee.
After this vote, Senator Jacobson
asked for unanimous consent to with
draw his bill and it was granted.
BY vote of 25 to 7, the senate de-
clined to pass the bill by Senator
Smith, limiting the number OF wit
nesses to receive per diem and mile
age in felony cases to III.
Bills passed in the afternoon were
BY Going, creating Village Creek
levee district in Jackson county.
BY Moore, appropriating $432, $50
to complete the capitol, and $4,000
to pay outstanding bills and maintain
the building for two years.
BY Toler, requiring sworn state
ments to all claims against the state
with the exception of specified sala-
ries, before warrants can be issued.
Bills introduced:
BY Lundy, to prevent the creation
of deficiencies by state boards ano in-
stitutions and providing penalty.

ARMORY DISPUTE
BROUGHT TO end
AGREEMENT is REACHED
REMAINING GAMES OF 1918
SEASON WILL BE ALLOWED
TO BE PLAYED.

The controversy between the ath-
letic associations of the city and the
petitioners who want basketball games
at the Armory suppressed was ten
tatively decided last night at the regu-
lar bi-monthly meeting of the city
council. 1t was agreed by all con
|cerned that the remaining games of
the 1913 season be played in the Ar
mory.
Several new phases of the com
plants were brought to light last night
by various members of the council and
representatives of both the petition
ers and the athletic associations. Prof
&c. c. Denney, who represented the
Normal club, asked for the specific
charges in the complaints Of the peti-
TONERS, and j. J. Nixon, one of the pc
titioners, enumerated them. Prof
Denney asserted that the complaints
should not be made against the ath-
letic associations of the city, but
should be made against individuals
who were guilty of the offense.
! at is not right" said Prof. Denney
that the associations should be held
responsible for the wrong doings OF
individuals. If the faculty of the Ar
kansas State Normal finds one of hel
students violating any of the charges
made in the complaint, he will be dealt
with sunmarily, and we would not
permit athletics of any kind if we be-
lieved the athletes violated these
charges"
Prof T. S. Staples represented the
Hendrix College association, and ad
mitted that there were some grounds
for complaint, but that these, ht
thought, would not occur again.
Prof. A. J. Meadors of the council
spoke in favor of a continuance Of the
games.
R. B. McCullocn and J. r. Donnell
aldermen, also spoke on the subject.
Mayor W. H. Duncan was the last
speaker. He stated that several new
features were brought out at the
meeting which had not been discussed
before He was Of the opinion thai
the charges were used discriminatelJ
and that the offenses alluded to nigh
have been committed by outsiders.
Mr.. Nixon, in behalf Of the peti
TONERS, stated that as the season vii
be finished on March Z, he would with
draw his complaints and allow the re
manning games to be played, but tina
he would never consent for games t.
be played in the Armory after thi
season.
All of the aldermen present voted u
allow the remaining games of this sea
son to be played in the building.
