DON'T LAY BY"
 CORN TOO EARLY
By L. A. Markham.

Many farmers, find, are planning even now, to lay by corn very soon in order to get it out of the way of the cotton. Is this good practice? Is it sanctioned by the experience and meth iods of our best farmers and leading agriculturists?
 Without presuming to say at just what stage corn should be laid by, it is quite safe to assert that most of us quit cultivating too early. There are at least two good reasons why culti- vation should, in majority of cases, be continued till a later date. One is that it is necessary to prevent the growth of weeds and grass. Often the corn is severely injured by this nox- ious growth; and the average corn field is simply nursery for the propa- gation of grass seeds to give trouble to the cotton or other crops the next year. The other, and even more inn portant reason, is that it is necessary to NOUoCINC llS IilolSIulC Ol tHC SOll Corn requires a great deal of water, especially at fruiting time. Yet how often where corn has been laid by early do we see the ground baked and dry in the hot weather following rains, allowing the moisture so much needed by the fruiting corn to escape into the atmosphere But even where there has been no rain and the ground is cover ed by mulch this needs to be stirred every eight or 10 days, for the capil- lary action of the soil moisture will render mulch porous in that length of time.
 The cultivations should be continued at least till the corn is tasseling. They should be very shallow, however-just deep enough to nicely mulch and pull verize, say two inches of the surface. This can be done with harrows, spring tooth cultivators or similar imple- mentS.
 In contending for prolongation of the cultivating season of corn, we are supported by the example of our best corn-growers, south as well as north, and by carefully conducted scientific in this state. In experi- ments on the Mena sub-station in 1912, Prof. Lassiter, by giving one extra cul- tivation to part of his corn, increas- ed the yield sufficiently to pay several times for the work. have not the ex- act figures before me, but where it was not given, all other conditions being the same in both cases, was certainly more than 10 bushels to the acre. Prof. Lassiter of Fayetteville can supply eX- act information.
 Try an extra cultivation or two this year.

WILLIAMS REPLY
 TO MILWEE

| Marion and sat down, you came up to me and said you wanted to have talk and wanted me to talk with MT. Brpndidge, then it was that told you that I did not care to see Mir. Brun- didge, and also told you I was sup porting Judge Hays. It was during this conversation, MT. Milwee, that you told me you were sinking your third and last time, and you had counted upon the support of myself and associates to help you out, and then it was that I told you if you were a candidate should be very glad to support you, but that could not SUD- port Mir. Brundidge. Then, MT. Mill wee, you insisted upon knowing the reason why, and did 1 not then and there tell you that my reason was not of political nature, and l would not discuss the matter with you. Did you not also offer to make any kind of pledge or promise (to take care of me, as you used the term) if l would sup port MT. Brundidge, and did l not tell you that it mattered not to me what kind of a proposition you or MT. Brundidge had to offer, 1 would not support him? You know, sir, that is true, and your statement to your brother-in-law in your letter to him of the 10th is untrue and false.
 Now, in conclusion, and to set your mind at rest as well as that of your brother-in-law, I will say that I have no promise from Judge Hays or none of his associates (to be taken care of, as you used the term), and further more, there is nothing in the gift of to accept, also to further set at rest your mind and that of your brother in-law, who was so very anxious to know JUST why l Eugene Williams was supporting Judge Hays, l beg to say that 1 am not member of the St. Francis levee board and will not dur ing the term of Judge Hays as gover- nor accept membership thereon. This is not the first time I stated that St. Francis levee board again. l have repeatedly said so within the last six months, and to show you that to be my intention, I have only recently re- signed as member of that board, al though my term would not have eX- pired until 1915.
 1 will state further that no appoint ment could issue from the governors office that I would want or accept.
 wish to state in conclusion, that do not appreciate being drawn into this matter, as you have seen fit to do, and to further state that 1 thought any WHITE citizen of the grand old state of Arkansas had perfect 1ght under our Constitution to support any candidate who offered for office that he desired to without haVing the con- clusions of the campaign manager of the opposing candidate bring that citi- zen to task through the pres, in an open letter to his hlother-in-4W, as t. who some certain individua or ln- dividaais were not supporting his can dioate (according to his THE CAM- TAIGN MANAGERS CONCr3.S- IONS).

 I further state that MT. Milwee in- sisted that we meet Mir. Brundidge and he would tell us just as he (Mr. Milwee) had (that we would be taken care, as he used the term).
 further wish to state that MT. Mil wees letter is untrue and false. I further state that MT. Williams nor myself have never talked to Judge Hays or any of his managers in re- gard to his attitude concerning pol tiles of St. Francis county or St. Francis Levee Board.

This is to certify that on or about the 9th day of June, 1913 last, l was in Little Rock, Ark, attending to le- gal matters. While there l met MT. R. F. Milwee in the Marion Hotel. Af ter speaking to each other MT. Milwee stated to me that he was sorry that MT. Eugene Williams was not sup porting MT. Brundidge for governor, that he had everything alright for MT. Williams and that if he had lis tened to him, that he, MT. Williams, would have been able to get anything he desired, that he talked to MT. Will Hams, but that he refused to support MT. Brundidge. I then stated to MT. Milwee that Mr. Williams usually sup ported any man that he personally de sired and stood for such measures as he thought was proper.

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BETSY
When Col. J. J. Astor Jeopardlzed

When the Nourmahal was reported
lost the papers began to talk about
sending out searching expeditions.
The government dispatched n cruiser
to search for Aston. Now Richard
Barry tells the story Of that episode
Tor the first time. "Astor was very
fond OF his pet dog" says Barry. THE
pet dog hated the sea. The second
day out on the cruise the dog began
to nope. Astc- told the captain of
the yacht to point her nose for shore.

They landed that day on the
Caroline shore and Betsy got her run.
But one run wasn't enough for her.
Each day, as they voyaged south.
Betsy was taken on land to stretch
her legs. Finally they were OF the
Honduras coast, and Betsy began to
howl for a frolic. The captain pro

Court Sets Aside

with two others connected with the In

persons, in connection with the recent
strike of the Paterson Silk Workers.
The others involved are Carlo Tresca
and Adolph Lessig. The men were sem
fenced to six months in Jail.
The opinion of the supreme court, in
decision read by Justice Bergen, holds
that the mere fact that Il person walk
ing along the public streets in a peace
able and quiet manner, if followed by
a crowd of people, is not sufficient to
Justify his conviction of being disor-
