WEEKLY LETTER TO
 ARKANSAS FARMERS
By John h. Page.

Since have been your commis. sioner have tried 10 have something of value and interest to say to the people in each weekly letter. In each one there has been one main point. I now want to emphasize some of the main points. want you to remember them, and some of you try them out.
 The farmers of Arkansas should plant less than half as much cotton next year as this. If you don't reduce your cotton crop, you can't raise enough other crops to make you sue cessful farmer. So arrange your crops SO that you will not have to buy a sin. gle thing that is produced on the farm except sugar. Abandon cotton alto gether as soon as possible. Other crops pay better. Arkansas is a great alfalfa state. It will grow on almost any kind of soil. Study alfalfa and how to grow it. It is the foundation of sue cessful stock raising. It is a money maker without stock. It will grow three 10 four tons to the acre, and two NOAkdA D q AOAl VIII pay TUT tlAo You know what 1t is worth Figure for yourself, and you will see that it will beat a cotton crop too bad to talk about. Then plenty of corn. You need corn to go with alfalfa. The two make good balanced ration for horses, cattle and hogs. Now Is the time to prepare your land for alfalfa Sow it any time you like between now and October the 18th.
 Sow some burr clover or winter yetch for winter pasture for hogs and cattle. Either one will pay better than any crop you had this summer if you have the stock to pasture. Give attention to good cattle and hogs at once. Get some good males and cross them with the grades and scrubs. It don't take long for good blood to tell. Remember that hogs and cattle are the surest and best money on the farm now. There Is not enough live stock in the United States to furnish SUD- ply for the inhabitants for six months. If you had your proportionate per N~PA'N oh'oohb OA thC meat oup- ply in Arkanas. after all the hogs and cattle were butchered, you would have about 1S0 pounds, so you see the high price of live stock has come to stay. The number of cattle and hogs has been decreasing for several years The number of people-the meat eat ers-having been increasing Anybody Knows that means high prices for stock. Get in the game and get your share of the profits. Help feed the nation. They must have it and will pay for it.
 Make pastures and grow hay. Corn gathering time will son be here. Some have topped the corn, and some have gathered the fodder. Either way is a mistake. The corn will lose more weight in maturing than the forage is worth. If you planted peas In your corn and have cattle and hogs to fat ten, you may turn the stock on the crop at gathering time and feed it down. The hogs will eat the peas and the waste corn. The cattle will eat both. There will be less waste this way than 70 gather and feed. Try 1t once and you will like it. Of course you will have to pen your stock at the finish to put them in the best condi- ton. Prepare to save the barn yard manure this fall and winter. Make some pens and cover them for the pur. pose. It pays big.

PRESIDENT SAVES JUDGES
Commerce Court Abolished, but
Members Retain Office.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 4-Acting on sugges-
tons from the White House, the Senate
agreed to-day to a compromise on the
Commerce Court amendment to the ur-
gent deficiency bill and passed the meas
ure, abolishing the court on December 81.
1919, but retaining the judges as addi-
tional Judges of the United States Circuit
Court. 1t was said in the lobby that the
acouiescence Of Senators in the amend
ment drawn up by Senators Walsh and
Nelson retaining the four judges in office
was due to hint from the White House
that the measure would be vetoed If the
Judges were legislatsd out Of office.
The only objection made TO the meas
ure to-day was advanced by Senator
Vardaman, who voted against it because Of
an appropriation OF 5000 for survey
for a memorial bridge across the Potomac
connecting the capital with Arlington,
and because Of the appropriation Of $1,000
for the purchase and maintenance of an
automobile for the Vice-President.
The bill also carries an amendment
proposed by the Appropriations Committee
exempting Deputy United States Mar
shals and Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lectors from the classified civil service.
This provision was strongly opposed by
the Republicans.
About $4,000 Of appropriations are
carried by the bill, including 10000 for
the use of the State Department in NOV
ing Americans out Of Mexico

LOWER PRICES FAR AWAY
Underwood Says 1t Will Be
Long Before Tariff Helps.

Washington, Oct. Persons who ex-
pect American stores selling goods at
reduced prices at once because the IN
derwood- Simmons tariff Is now law are
going to be disappointed, in the opin-
ion OF Representative Underwood one
OF its authors. 1t will be many months
Mr.. Underwood believes. before the ef-
feet of the new tariff becomes apparent
TO the consumer.
1T is only competition caused by the
new law that is going TO reduce prices"
said Mr.. Underwood to-day. GOODS
that merchants now have in stock were
bought under the old high tariff, and
until those goods are sold out the mer-
chants will not accept the basis made
by the new law.
ut will be several months before the
effect of the new tariff on commodities
is felt, and in many cases 1T may be a
year Manufacturers who have large
stocks Of raw material Will not make
reductions until their stock bought un-
der the high tariff has been used UP.
The effect on wool probably will not
show until next spring; the full effect
on sugar not for several years.
Mr. Underwood left Washington to-
day for Atlantic City for a weeks va
cation. He is suffering from bad cold
and started on the trip by the advice or
q physician.

COSTLY FOR CORPORATIONS
Income Tax Law Adds Greatly
to Their Expenses.

Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars Will
be added to the expense accounts OF the
great railroad and industrial corporations
NJ the United States, as well as banks ana
trust companies, as a result OF the pas
sage Of the income tax section OF ue
new tariff bill. This is due to the pro-
vision that the tax In the case OK ol'i-
dends and interest shall be collected NJ
the source and not from the individual d.
rect and shall be held by the corpora
tons until sufficient reason is shown Why
the stipulated / per cent should not go
10 the government permanently.
This will necessitate that such COM
nanies as the United States Steel Corpo-
ration. the Union and Southern Pacinc
railroads. the Pennsylvania system, the
New York Central lines and many others
add materially to their clerical forces.
Alexander J. Hemphill. president OF the
Guaranty Trust Company. has been a
strong opponent of the collection at the
source" provision OF the tax. He has
advocated a plan to give the government
all the needed information at the source
which he believes would sufficiently safe
guard the government in the collection or
the tax.
1T Is unfortunate" said Mr.. Hemp
hill, land works a hardship that man
with an income OF $4,000 or less year
should have a portion Of his income re-
tanned by the corporation until he oy
affidavit has proved that he is not tax
able person. Under the plan suggested
no part of the income would be retained
and the government would have definite
information as TO Just what securities
were owned by him."
Because Of expected favorable develop
ments incidental to the income tax pro-
visions there was marked advance in

FRANCE WELCOMES TARIFF
Regards New Law as Advan
tageous to Both Countries.
TBy Cable to The Tribune.1


Paris, Oct 4.--President Wilson's sig
nature of the tariff bill is welcomed
here as showing a sound sense Of fair
play in trade and business which will
in the long run be greatly advanta-
geous to both the United States and
France.
The tariff act, on the whole, gives
satisfaction to the leaders in French
industries and commerce.
Berlin, Oct. <.-ln commenting on the
new American tariff acts the "Tagliche
Rundschau" demands that the German
government protest most forcibly ana oe-
cisively against any attempt to deprive
imports carried to the United States IN
German ships of the per cent reduction
indicated in the letter written by Joseph
w. Folk, Solicitor of the State Depart
ment at Washington, to Senator Simmons
and which was cabled here. Americans,
says the newspaper, must be treated In
such matters with an iron hand.
The Foreign Office reiterates its insist
ence on the guarantees Of the most raw
ored nation treatment contained In the
old Prussian-American treaty being ap-
plicable in this case, but no special state
ment in regard to Mr.. Folks letter VIII
be made until the Foreign Office learns
whether the opinion he expresses is OIL
cial or merely personal.
Several of the newspapers comment on
the signature Of the tariff act as a great
personal victory for President Wilson,
and warn German exporters against I'M
due hopes of increased exports.

THE ANILSALO0N LEAGUE WILL CARRY ITS
FIGHT TO THE VERY DOOR OF CONGRESS

doris Of the capitol building. If
the day is pleasant and the crowds
expected cannot be accommodate
ed in the corridors, the presenta-
ton of the matter may be on the
east front of the capitol where
the presidential inaugurals are
always held. This is reckoned as
the ideal place in case the wealth
er permits.
Just the nature of the program
to be carried out has not been de-
cided upon as yet. 1t is agreed,
however, that there shall be two
speeches. One of the speakers
will be Ernest H. Cherrington,
general manager of the publishing
interests of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. Mr.. Cher
rington will speak in behalf of the
League under the auspices of
which, the committee will be as
sembled.
The other speaker has not yet
been determined upon but it will
likely be one Of the numerous gov
errors of states that have espous-
ed the dry cause and who have
declared for the national Prohibi-
ton policy.
After luncheon, the committee
will visit the white house to pay
its respects to the president. The
newspapers have had the story
that the committee intends to pre-
sent the demand of the Columbus
convention to the President him
self. General Superintendent Pur-
|
ley A. Baker of the League en-
phatically denies that the commit
tee has any such intentions. The
president cannot submit the con-
stitutional amendment. That can
only be done by Congress itself
and it is to the Congress only that
the matter will be presented. DR..
Baker states that the only pur-
pose of the visit to the president
is to pay their respects and no at
tempt will be made to commit him
in any way.
In the evening, a mass meeting
is being planned to take place in
some large hall but the details of
this have not yet been determined.
No hall has yet been arranged for.
1t is also planned that on the
morning of the eleventh, a
breakfast will be held at the New
Willard and a counsel of war at
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-12-11

the same time. This will be held

to leave quickly can catch the
noon train for their homes.
