Little Rock Sept 27.-Commission- CT John H. Page has advised R. E.. Bodine, of Memphis, in response to a question as to the best kind of winter oats to be sown upon his farm in Desha County, that Winter Turf oats are the best, and that the best time to plant is from Sept, 15 to Nov. l..
 "The ground should be broken about one inch deeper than you have been accustomed to blow the same land, and the oats broadcasted and harrow ed in," writes the commissioner. "Two bushels per acre is sufficient to SOW. If 1 had both buckshot and sandy land I would prefer buckshot; either will do. 1 most certainly would advise you to SOW winter oats. The care of the land, as we'll as the feed is either sufficient reason for the crop. I would also advise that you SOW one bushel of lespedeza per acre, broad cast, in the oat field in February. Do not attempt to harrow in the les pedeza, the first rain will cover it sufficiently. When you harvest the oats, pay no attention to the lespe- deza, and next September you can harvest fine hay crop. Get the lespedeza seed now while it is cheap. If your land is in need of drainage, I would suggest that you throw up a water furrow about every twenty feet"

There is absolutely no reason in as suming that live stock farming will not pay in Arkansas, when farmers in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and Illinois have made a success of it on $100 land with short summers, long winters and a single crop season and no natural forage and range. While in Arkan- sas we have only few weeks during each season that it is necessary to house the stock; we can raise three or four crops a season; have plenty of $10 land and unlimited natural range.
The Prescott daily news., 1913-09-27
SOWING THE ALFALFA

The present season is more favor able for sowing alfalfa than for many years. Fall sowing is often deferred in some sections of the Southwest be- cause there is not enough moisture in September. This year the rains seem general, and while it was dry at the time the land should have been prepared, there is yet time to get land ready.
 More alfalfa should be sown than is sown in the Southwest. There are many sections where alfalfa can be grown successfully. It is certainly one of our most profitable crops where it succeeds. For all kinds of stock it has no superior and few equals.
 Fall sowing is better than spring sowing ordinarily. There are several reasons why fall sowing is preferable where early rains make it possible to SOW, but the most important reason is that fall alfalfa gets a start in fall and early spring, and is better able to stand the first summer drouth.
 There are few crops that are as rigid in their requirements for good preparation as alfalfa A mistake in this matter nearly always results in disappointment Often poor prepar- ation causes failure the first time. and the manager decides erroneously that his land will not grow alfalfa and does not try it again.
 Remember first of all that alfalfa is a deeprooted plant. Its long tap roots extend to an enormous depth in the soil in search of plant food and moisture. This is necessary if the plants are to survive our hot, dry summers. If your land has not good depth, if there is hard-pan or white rock near the surface of the soil, do not waste time and money trying to grow alfalfa. Plant something else on such land.
 The land must be we'll drained, of good frtility, capable of making rapid and satisfactory growth. Break it deep and pulverize it well. Before sowing make a mellow, frable seed bed.
 Get the best seed you can obtain. See that the seed is clean and that the color and weight seem favorable for viable seed. It may pay you to test the seed to find what per cent will germinate. But if the land is ready now SOW without delay; if not, pre- pare and in the meantime test the seed.
 If you are in doubt about the per cent of seed that will germinate plant at least 20 pounds of seed per acre. Eighteen will be enough if the seed test 95 per cent or more.
 A seeder is best, but if it cannot be had hand sowing will answer for few acres. It is quite difficult to SOW such small seeds as alfalfa by hand and get an even stand. It will pay generally to get seeder if it is pos sible.
 Leave the land in the best possible condition, so the seed will germinate without delay. It will pay you to take rains in sowing alfalfa.-Farm and Ranch.

RlNGLING CIRCUS
At Texarkana, Arkansas, Oct. 6
Great Spectacle of Joan of Arc"
 Added to Their Show

Ringing Brothers Circus and new ly added $500,O0O spectacle of "Joan of Arc," will exhibit in Texarkana.
 The spectacle in itself is an attrac-
 The spectacle in itself is an attrac- ton that should bring thousands of visitors from the surrounding coun- try. It is beyond question the great est production of its kind ever seen in America.
 The Worlds most skillful scenic artists, costumers property-makers, chorus directors and stage managers were engaged to mount the produc- tion. A stage bigger than hundred ordinary theatres was built and made portable so that it can be conveyed from town to town and erected each morning in the main tent. Thus the circus proprietors have made it pos slble for those who live in contribu- tory towns as well as in the large cit ies to see this magnificent wordless play with its cast of 1,200 characters, a ballet of 300 dancing girls, grand opera chorus of 400 voices, 600 horses and train load of special scenery, costumes, properties and mechanical devices for producing such stage eff fleets as thunder, Tightening, storms, fires, and the sound of battle.
 In the old market place of Rouen, France, there now stands monument by which the French of today have sought to redeem their part in the execution of Joan of Are, who on May, 30, 1431, was burned to death on the false charge of heresy after having delivered her country from the English and having restored the crown to Charles VII. History re- cordes but the meager facts of this strange heroine of eighteen years, who led the armies of France victo- rious through English invasion, and then, deserted by all, even the indo- lent monarch whom she preserved, died by the cruelest torture known with the name of the master upon her lips. Unsung in poetry, the name of this simple pheasant girl has come down thru the ages to be revered as that of a saint, and whose wonderful powers and bravery are verify believed to have been of de- vine inspiration.
 On the triumphant incidents, the victorious engagements, the final de- feat of the English armies, and the coronation of Charles VII, all ach- ieved by the frail Maid of Orleans, has been founded the inspiring spec tacle which gives Ringling Brothers circus new significance and makes an attraction such as the world m searching for amusement has never before found.
 The regular circus program si more than ever attractive. Its company of 375 foreign artists, it's double men agerie and it's new street parade will prove great surprise to those who attend from this city. The event is one that should not be missed.

a tail wobbled from one side to another
in sort Of whizzing rotary motion like
that Of an electric fan in full blast. You
ought to have heard the cheers that fol-
lowed. 1t was a great moment for sci
