WEEKLY LETTER
OF J. H. PAGE
By All Means Provide A
Good Pasture For The
Support Of Your Stock.

Thousands of acres Of corn have
been planted and much of II is
coming up. Good preparation Of
the land before planting Is half the
battle in making good crop. The
corn and cotton should both be
planted in flat seed beds If practi-
cal. II the land Is too low, then
bed it just enough to protect from
standing water. After planting II
a baking rain forms crust the har,
row should be run over before the
crop comes up. The first plowing
of corn may be deep II 1t is thought
best. After that, cultivate shallow
and level. Two inches Is deep
enough. Good seed, good land prep
aration, and keeping out the weeds
and grass, are the main things that
man can do to make a crop The
stirring Of the soil has something to
do with the moisture and the let
ting Of DIR into the SOIL Shallow
cultivation tends to hold the mois-
ture, and deep cultivation turns up
the moist earth so the moisture will
evaporate and escape,
A recent experiment was made
in Illinois that will prove interest
Ind. Six different methods were
employed In corn cultivated In the
same field, all the land being pre-
pared alike and planted alike, In
the first the crop was not plowed or
cultivated OF all, but the weeds and
erass we're seraped away with the
hoe. The crop made 68,2 bushels
to the acre. In the second the crop
had four shallow civilizations und
made 70,9 bushels to the acre. In
the third there were four deep culti-
vations, and the crop made 607

delayed this explanation until the
insinuation came from outside the

CORRECT RETURNS
FROM THE PRIMARY

The correct figures, by townships,
Of the primary election held in
\ Sharp county on March 25th are
published for the first time in this
issue of the Record. Usually this
paper is quicker than this to give
out the news, but we feel thorough
~ justified in this course.
When the canvassine committee
Of the county convention reported
the final figures to the convention,
(these figures are found in the last
column of the table, the editor Of
this paper secured the vote by
townships as made out by the COM
Inittee He soon saw there were
numerous errors in this report, and
knowing that these errors would be
readily detected by those who read
the paper, he refused to publish the
c0mmittee's figures as the official
\ vote.
We feel safe in saying that a
hundred men have either written
to or spoken to the editor of this
paper about the official returns
Of the primary. They, with many
others no doubt, wanted the vote
published as usual.
The Record secured the services
Of Messrs. j. R. Metcalf and W. T.
Gray of Evening Shade, who went
to the court house and in the pres
ence of Clerk Jas. M. Simpson, who
is custodian Of the primary returns,
made out for this paper from the
poll books a copy Of the vote. This
paper will vouch for the correctness
Of the vote as published in this
weeks paper. The Record goes
practically all over Sharp county,
and the reader will know whether
OF not his township is correctly re-
ported.
We would not pass the matter
without saying d word for the can
vassine committee of the county
convention. Their mistakes were
honest ones no doubt-just mis-
takes, that's all. Their errors made
no change whatever in the selection
Of any nominee, and this paper will
be the first to say that this COM
mittee is guilty of nothing worse
than carelessness.

members of this committee, and
the fact of our belief that their
mistakes we're innocently made,

The PRIMARY IN
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP
Was A Very Clean Affair,
So The Judges, Clerks
And Bailiff Declare.

To the Voters of the 18th Judi
cial Circuit of Arkansas:
We, the undersigned judges, clerks
and marshal of the primary election
held at Franklin, lizard county
Arkansas, on the 25th day of March
1914, respectfully ask the Sharp
County Record and all other papers
that have been printing the scurri-
lous attacks of David L. King and
his henchmen upon our honesty in
holding said election to publish this
our reply.
We did think of treating said at
tacks upon us as the wall of a de-
feated and disgruntled politician"
but, since his continuous efforts to
defame us, and even in his last dy-
ing gasp, through his home paper,
The Williford News, he reiterates
his charge of fraud against us, we
feel called upon in justice to our
county, to our families, and to our
selves, to refute some of the charges
he is making, and having or caus-
ing to be published throughout the
circuit.
We see in the Sharp County Rec
ord of April the 10th where the
Record says: That a reliable citi-
zen of Franklin township, lizard
county, was in Evening Shade and
said that more than twenty men
have been found who will make
affidavit that they voted for King"
Why not be honest? Why did you
not tell who that reliable citizen
was and give us a chance to show
the facts in the case. Mr.. King
came up here about the 18th OF
April and emplyed on e Charley
Mathes to Canvass with and fol-
him, and after they had secured the
county the said Charley Mathes
was at Esq. |, H. Jones', and said
that he had eleven sieners to his
tpaper saying that they had voted
for King, but we are now reliably
informed that a number OF those
who had signed said paper have
eone to Mr. Mathes and demanded
that their names be taken off, de-
clarine that they had been induced
to sign this paper on the repre-
sentations of enabling King to con-
test, or other Misrepresentation.
AS to the election in Franklin
township, it was honestly held and
every ticket counted just as 1t was
voted ond the voters name was

in his effort to find fraud or irreeu-
larities anywhere in the county and
that he (Kine) found only one
mistake and that was ten votes
against j. B. Baker-that only 1924
was certified when in fact he had
received 1884 according to Mr..
Kings own figures.
We want to say further that
every township in lizard county was
furnished with poll books and a
record kept of every voter that
voted, and that none of these poll
books we're lost and no township
held the election without the poll
books, both of which, we have been
told, was done in Sharp county.
Besides, when the returns we're
turned in to the county convention,
they were canvassed by the conven-
ton and not by committee of one
and he the brother-in-law of j. B.
Baker, as was reported done in
Sharp county by the brother-in-law
of David L. King. Further, the
entire vote of the county was pub
lished in the Melbourne Times on
March the 26th by townships, a
thing Sharp county has not done in
this election. So far as we are ad-
vised no one has ever seen the vote
of Sharp county by townships ex-
cept the canvassing committee, of
which Mr.. Kings brother-in-law
was chairman.
In conclusion, we want to state
to Mr.. King that we were all
born and raised in lizard county,
and as to our honesty, loyalty and
devotion to our county, and as to
our association in society we are
willing to compare our lives with
his. No man has ever been heard
to make the cry of dishonest elec-
tions in this part of North Arkansas
except D. L. King. He howled four
years ago, and is now bowling
again. Turn on the light, David;
we are ready, and do not believe
we will have to account for any
Doodle money either.
