The Main Points.

Since 1 have been your commls- sioner l have tried to have some thing of value and interest to say to the people in each weekly letter.
 Tn each one there has been one main point. | now want to empha- size some of the main points. l want you to remember them, and some of you try them out.
 The farmers of Arkansas should plant less than half as much cot ton next year as this. If you don't reduce your cotton crop you can't raise enough other crops to make a successful farmer. So arrange your crops so that you will not have to buy single thing that is pro- duced on the farm except sugar. Abandon cotton altogether as soon as possible. Other crops pay bet ter. 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 founda- tion of successful stock raising. It is a money maker without stock. It will grow three to four tons to the acre. and two dollars ton will pay for the cutting. You know what it is worth. Figure for yourself, and you will see that it will beat cot ton crop too bad to talk about. Then plant plenty of corn, You need corn to go with alfalfa. The two make a 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 t5.
 Sow some burr clover or winter Vctch for a 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. II don't take long for good blood 10 tell. Re- member that hogs and cattle are the surest and best money on the farm now. There is not enough lives stock in the United States to furnish a supply for the inhabi- tants for six months. If you had .proportionOaie percapita amount of he fresh meat supply in Arkansas, after all the hogs and cattle were butchered, you would have about iS0 pounds, so you see the high price of live stock has come to stay The number of people-the meat eaters have been increasing Anybody knows that means high prices for stock. Get in the game and gel your share of the profits Help feed the nation. They must have it and will pay for it.
 Make pastures and grow hay
 Corn &athering time will soon he 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 fatten, you may
 turn the stock on the crop at gath
 ering time and feed it down. The
 hogs will eat the peas and the
 waste corn The cattle will cal
 both. There will be less waste in
 this way than to gather and feed
 Try it once and you will like it. Ot
 course you will have to pen your
 stock at the finish to put them ir
 the best condition. Prepare to save
 the barnyard manure this fall and winter. Make some pens and cover
 them for the purpse, Ii pays big

NEW ALDERMAN IS BALL FAN.
Horton Council Repeats Anti-Sunday
| BaebalI Ordinance.

Horton, Kan. June 6.-After suffering
under a blue law for two weeks, Horton
will again have Sunday baseball. An or
dinance was passed May 10 in the council,
4 to 3, prohibiting Sunday ball games
within the city limits, after arrangements
had been made to have teams in the
MINK league play their Sunday games
here. At that time there was a vacancy
in the council, caused by the resignation
of Councilman J. F. Bailey, after he had
been elected mayor.
At a special election May g. o. B. Kill
mer was elected councilman from the Sec
ond ward. An ordinance repeating the
anti-Sunday baseball ordinance at later
meeting was introduced for the second
time, and Kilmer voted for it, which tied
the vote. Mayor Bailey then voted to
pass the new ordinance, permitting sun
day ball.
Falls City and Auburn will play here
next Sunday and the biggest crowd in
the history of baseball in Horton is ex-
pected to attend. A local team built a
ball park and grandstand just outside the
citv limits for its own use and Sunday
games doubtless will be continued there

THE KANSAS WAY
Foreign Countries Interested in
Our Fish Culture.
They Want the Dyche Bulletins
on the Big Pratt Plant.

Washington, June 6.-The manner in
which the state of Kansas is raising
and distributing one and two-year-old
fish to the farmers and others having
| ponds and lakes throughout the state
| has attracted marked attention of a
number of countries The Kansas idea
of propagation, distribution and study
| of fish culture is apparently so far ad-
vanced from the federal governments S
| system that foreign countries are clam
oring for all Information possible that
can be obtained from the Sunf1ower
state officials. 1t was learned today
that through their embassies in Wash
ington such countries as Japan,
France, Germany, England and Sweden
have made requests upon the state fish
warden of Kansas for copies of all bull
Ietins issued by Mr.. Dyche on the ques-
ton of fish propagation distribution,
etc. This is, indeed a high compliment
to the Kansas state fish department.
The building of the largest fish
hatchery in the world has placed Kan
sas in the limelight of fisheries not only
in the various states of the United
States, but of Europe and other coun-
tries. Another thing that has at
tracted worldwide attention is the
fact that the Kansas fish department
is the father of the plan of distribut-
ing only "grown-up'' fish for propaga-
ton in the ponds and lakes of the state.
This government, as well as others,
have for many years distributed fish
in the "minnow'' size.
1t is understood here in Washington
that Kansas Is now raising and dis
tributing more fish free to it's people
than any other state in the union.

the outcome of the tariff fight in
Washington before laying plans for
the disposition of their herds. Should
meat be placed on the free list it is
believed the herds will be sold out as
rapidly as possible. Should it remain
protected large purchases will prob
ably be made further west. T. P.
Tucker is the only cattleman in this
section who has shown enough nerve
to increase his herds in the face of a
probable reduction in the tariff. He
recently purchased 200 head of steers
