ELMER STRICKLAND
 SUCCUMBS TO INJURY
YOUTH HURT AT VAN BUREN DIED THURSDAY
 NIGHT AT FORT SMITH.

The body of Elmer Strickland, the I14-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. R. H. Strickland of Greenbrier, who died last night from injuries received when he fell from train in the railroad yards at Van Buren Tuesday morning. was brought to Conway last night and taken to Greenbrier, where funeral services will be held today.
 Young Strickland had run away from home and had been missing since May 1. His parents learned of his whereabouts through letters received from his boy friends at Greenbrier. They at once began communicating with him, urging him to return home It is thought he was on his way home when he was injured. His companion, who was buried Wednesday afternoon without having been identified, was supposed to be going to Greenbrier with young Strickland. The only source from which the identity of the youth who was found dead in the yards could be learned was closed when Elmer Strickland died without having regained consciousness.

specia. to the Log Cabin Democrat


 Little Rock, July 11.-James H. Harrod, one of the leading attorneys of Arkansas, met instant death when an automobile driven at terrific rate of speed plunged into a crowd alight- ing from a Fifteenth street car at Broadway about l o'clock this after noon.
 A young son of James Coates was fatally injured in the same accident
 At this hour the driver of the car. who is supposed to be resident of Pine Bluff, has not been apprehended.
 The family of Judge Harrod is Iprostrated over the tragic occurrence.
 The automobile, large blue tour ing car, being driven at a reckless speed, was overtaking the street car, and when the latter stopped to dis charge a number of passengers, the automobile was blindly driven into the crowd without checking speed. The driver of the car did not stop and his name has not yet been learned.

The log cabin Democrat., 1913-07-11

The news of Judge Harrod's tragic death, which was first received here in telephone message to the family of B. T. Deal, was a profound shock to the citizens of Conway, where Judge Harrod was reared and spent his young manhood Judge Harrods wife and Mrs. Deal are sisters and the two families are closely attached spending much of their time with each other. Mr Deal and family left for Little Rock in an automobile inn mediately upon receipt of the sad news.
 Judge Harrod, aside from having brilliant record in the practice of his profession, was active in political cir cles, where he wielded a large infu- ence. He represented Faulkner coun- ty in the general assembly of 1883. In the early 90's he moved to Little Rock, and was candidate for gover- nor against Dan. w. Jones.
 He was one of the first supporters in the state of President Woodrow Wilson, and it. was generally conced- ed that the position of United States district attorney would be given him.
 Judge Harrod was one of the states counsel which recently con ducted a successful fight in the Unit ed States supreme court in the Ar kansas railroad rate cases.
 He has many personal friends, rel atives and admirers in this county, all of whom are deeply grieved at his un- timely and tragic death.

Apples that are expected to go into
storage should be picked just before
they get mellow or fall from the
trees.
They must not be picked too soon,
however, but should be left until they
have attained their full growth and
color No orchardist of any account
now shakes apples from the tree, but
picks them one by one and places
them in basket or bag suspended
from the picker's shoulders.
The fruit should be carefully assert
ed and every apple that present a
broken skin or worm hole, or is in
any other way imperfect, should be
packed by itself; because diseased,
bruised, or wormy fruit will very
quickly destroy sound fruit that is
placed next to it.
Apples should not be packed until
four or five days after they have been
picked. They should then be kept In
shed until freezing weather comes
on. II apples are picked when dry,

DIVERS IMPORTANT
HINTS FOR GARDEN
Heavy Application of Manure and
Plenty of Potash Should Be
Used on Vegetables.
(By l.. M. BENNINGTON. }

Such vegetables as cabbage, cauli-
flower, lettuce and onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
of manure.
Plenty of potash and phosphoric
acid should be used with all vegeta.
bles and particularly with tomatoes,
peppers, elephants and root-crops.
Lime is the best preventative OF
club-foot in cabbage. 1t doesn't al.
ways prevent this disease, but 1t is
usually effectual.
BY having vegetables at the earli.
est possible date you will be able to
catch the first customers and hold
them during the whole of the season.
Soils that are heavily MANFRED for
cabbage, lettuce, celery and other
crops will not need very much manure
the following year. when planted with
tomatoes, peppers and rootcrops, es.
pccially If fair amount of CONNER
cial fertilizer Is used.
When green manure crops are
plowed under, there is more or less
tendency of such material to sour
the land, and applications of lime
after blowing under such crops,
sweeten the soil and secure more
favorable condition for the growing Of
clover. 1t is very important to work
In clovers as often as possible, and a
sweet soil is necessary to get good
results with them.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition, and sent to the market
fresh and clean. Careful grading is
essential A few inferior specimens
IN package are the first to attract
attention. Even few specimens will
knock off more from the price Of the
package then they are worth.
Telephone communications with
all available markets and private Gus
toners is necessity to the garden

take orders for his produce.

EASY TO HANDLE
Most Perfectly Rotted Manure
Should Be SeIected-Be
Careful Not to Pull.

Select the best as well as the most
perfectly rotted manure each season.
Divide the roots, only allowing one
tuber to a hill. The dirt should be
heaped up rather loosely. Never pad

When the earliest leaves commence
dropping over, this will call for cut
ting them off This makes the others
following straight and also taller.
In gathering be careful not to pull.
Some do, but it is liable to injure small

with about three inches of clean straw

TIMELY NOTES OF
The POULTRY YARD
Handsome Profit May Be Sc.
cured by Buying Pasteboard
Boxes for the Eggs.
DIV c. s. MILLER.l

The farmers wife who will buy
pasteboard egg packages and place in
them nothing but clean eggs will
make enough profit to pay for the
packages many times over.
Someone has truly said that "the
best poultry men on most farms are
women"
To ventilate a poultry house does
not mean that holes should be knock
ed into 1t SO that drafts will draw
through, nor that the openings are
large enough to admit snow and rain.
The age of fowl is always dis
closed by the condition of it's legs.
If the skin Is hard and rough, be sure
it is an old one. The delicacy of the
skin indicates youth.
People who fail in the poultry bust
ness are usually those who take 1t
up as a fad and not for the purpose Of
making living.
If you are raising birds for broil.
ers or roasters, it Is well to confine
them, because they will not fatten as
quickly on the range, but breeding
fowls should be allowed wide range.
The chief objection to self-feeding
contrivances Is that the fowls In win
der not having exercise by scratching
for their feed, are likely to become
too fat.
If box of broken charcoal is kept
before the fowls they will pick at 1t
great deal and 1t is an excellent
thing to keep them in good condition.
If you have not yet separated the
cockerels from the pullets, do SO at
once. Turn them into capons or dis
pose Of them.
This is the time when hens are
melting and need rest. Do not ex-
pect them to. shed feathers and lay
eggs at the usual rate both at the
same time.
If the old poultry house has done
service for many years, and your
fowls have been troubled with lice
lately, burn down the old shack and
build a new one on new site. 1t

you would not be willing to serve on
