THE WEEKLY LETTER
OF JOHN III. PAGE
commissioner of Mines, Manufactures
and Agriculture. Says we Have
Had too much Rain Re-
Gently for Work.

We have had too much rain recent
ly, and this has thrown MANY of the
farmers behind with their work. At
some time during the spring we al
ways have too much rain, and it would
serve us mighty well if we would al
keep this in mind and prepare for it
the best we can. During the good
weather we can make note of a good
many odd jobs that we can do on
on rainy days. By making a list
of them we will soon find that the
rainy days come in proftably and
the time is not lost.
During wet weather the grass and
weeds grow rapidly and are hard to
kill. Use the harrow cross-wise of
the rows on the corn and cotton after
the plants are up. Do not start the
harrow early in the morning, but wait
until nine or ten o'clock. The young
plants are tougher after the sun shines
on them awhile, and will not break
down so easily. Do not plow when
the ground is too wet. 1t is time
thrown away and often does more
harm than good. Better use the hoe
than plow when the ground is wet. 1t
IS costlier, but pays the best. Hoe
made corn is high-priced corn, but it
is better than no corn at all. Plant
some COW pears, velvet beans or soy
beans this month.
If you can't plant this month, make
arrangements for next month. Set
aside the land for one or more of these
crops. Don't forget the sorghum patch
either. 1t is needed to make molasses
and also to furnish good pasture for
hogs later on. Cow Peas and sor-
ghum together makes a good hay crop.
The sorghum doesn't benefit the land,
but the COW pea the velvet bean and
soy bean do. The two latter add lots
of nitrogen to the soil, and that is the
costliest element required to make
rich soil. Every farm should have a
potato patch After the potatoes are
dug Go not let the land lie idle, but
plant it to another crop Several
crops can be grown after potatoes. If
in doubt about what to try, fall back
on the old reliable COW pea. Every
farm should have either alfalfa or
clover on it. 1t is not every farm that
will grow alfalfa, but most of them
will grow some of the clovers. Pre-
pare some land for clover and sow this
fall You cannot do better than try
some bur clover. Alsyke clover is
good for wet land is good for pasture
and hay. Crimson clover is a soil
builder that is hard to equal and
makes a fine crop.
By all means take care of the calves
and pigs. There are fewer cattle in
Arkansas today than for the past
twenty-five years. This is fact.
You know what it means. Keep the
cows and heifer calves especially. We
need them for breeding purposes. One
acre of Arkansas land can be made to
sustain one head of cattle, and yet
we haven't an average of one head
to every forty acres. The Lord gave
the injunction to his people to ''mul-
tiply and replenish the earth" AS
a Christian people we are obedient to
this command, and so Arkansas is a
land of babies. Now all we need to
make and keep this a land of milk
and honey" is to supply the milk
Hence one of the demands for more
and better cattle.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

fession, several Pittsburgh physicians
acted as feeders for the hospital,
sending to Meredith for illegal opera

Meredith was held today in S12, 900
bail on charges of performing an IL
legal operation and larceny. Miss
Lucy Orr, alias Lucy Damms, head
nurse and his alleged chief assistant,
and Miss Mary Snyder, a nurse, were
also in custody.
The specific charge against Mere I
dith is that he performed an illegal
operation upon Mrs Myrtle Allison of
Williamsburg, near here, a year ago.
Lutz declared that he sent Mrs.
Allison to Meredith.
Lutz, a wreck as the result of his
part in the support of the hospital,
described Meredith as f1end, appar-
emily obsessed by love of brutality.
Some time after sending Mrs. AL
hson to DR.. Meredith, Lutz asked
Meredith where she was, he said.
Meredith, he declared, said she was
dead.
well, doctor, don't you think this
is dangerous work." Lutz claims to
have asked Meredith.
WELL" Lutz says he was told,
there was a certain party that came
to me from New York and was traced
as far as my office. 1t was Dorothy
Arnold"
When asked what had become of
her, Meredith was said to have mo-
toned skyward with both hands, in
dicating, Lutz declares, that she had
been cremated. Pressed for an an
swer as to the fate of Mrs. Allison,
Meredith made similar gestures.

New York, April 1o.-Full details
of a search of Pittsburgh,s "house of
mystery" the Bellevue Sanitarium,
whose proprietor, DR.. C. c. Meredith,
is under arrest there as possibly re-
sponsible for the deaths of women,
were given today by John Keith, who
personally went through the mys-
ferrous sanitarium on a search for
Dorothy Arnold, the missing New
York heiress.
Keith, despite reports to the con-
trary from Pittsburgh, is still firmly
convinced that Miss Arnold was not
in the house of mystery" at least
at the time of his visit.
From admissions made to him by
the doctor in charge, Attorney Keith
said, he had no doubt there was much
about the house which the physician
desired to conceal.

Keith said, "by letter from a prom-

clared a woman there was certain

Lutz said, and when she moaned that
she would like her mother sent for,
Meredith assured her with a brutal
laugh:
ooh, you'll see your mother soon
enough, all right"
District Attorney Jackson smiled at
reports from New York to the effect
that John Keith, attorney for Fran
els Arnold, father of Dorothy Arnold,
had come to Pittsburgh unknown to
his employer and investigated re-
port that the missing heiress was at
the Bellevue institution.
''Lutz has come through and told
us everything" said Jackson. I'VE
have evidence that Dorothy Arnold
was traced right to the door of Mere
dith's downtown Office in the Schmidt
building. We have learned enough :
already to convince us that in this
raid we have broken up one of the
worst places in the country. 1t is too
early yet to tell just what will be re-
vealed about Dorothy Arnold's fate
by the arrests"
