EXTENSION SCHOOL
 DATES ARR ANCfO
AT CONWAY AUG. 1914
UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS TO INSTRUCT
 FAULKNER FARMERS.

The week of August 10 to IA, in elusive, has been definitely decided upon as the time for the second an nual farm extension school to be held at Conway this year. County Dem onstrator J. w. Earlier has received a letter from w. R. Wheelock, super ntendent of the extension work of the college of agriculture, University of Arkansas, announcing these dates.
 MT. Earlier expects an attendance of several hundred Faulkner county farmers at the school this year. Last year, when the purposes of the school were not generally understood, con- siderably more than 100 were in at tendance and it is expected that the enrolment will be doubled or trebled this year. Every phase of agricul- tural science and practice will be dis cussed by corps of experts from the agricultural department of the uni versity and the information to be gained will be most valuable.
 The expenses of the school are met by local merchants, the Frisco and Missouri Pacific railways providing free transportation for the instruc tors and their apparatus, and the farmers who attend will not be charged anything whatever, except that they will be expected to make ar engagements for their own board while in the city.
 The program for the school is now being arranged and will be published at an early date. A special feature will be arranged for members of the boys and girls clubs, under the direc- tion of w. J. Jernigan of the United States department of agriculture.

URGES FARMERS TO
 KEEP S|LOS FILLED
CORN MAY BE REPLANTED
FAILURE OF EARLY CROP SHOULD NOT DISHEARTEN.
 MIR. PAGE SAYS.

Little Rock, July 2-"There are now more than thousand silos in Arkansas, there being more than a hundred in both Benton and Wash ington countless says John H. Page, state agricultural commissioner. "The long-continued dry weather has had a serious effect on the corn crop, and many farmers who have depended upon their corn of early planting to fill silos are going to be disappointed. However, corn planted the first week in July, if of an early maturing va riety. will make in time to be used for silage Seed of the 80 and 90 day variety should be plated at this late date Immature corn does not make as good silage as the mature, yet it will make good feed M. c. Hargrove of Des Meines, Iowa, who for years was actively engaged in farm activ- ities in the corn belt and has had wide and varied experience with silos and silage, says:
 Immature corn, either frost-bit- ten or not, will not make silage equal to corn that has thoroughly matured, but it will make good feed, and if the farmers will cut the corn and let it lay for a day or two, if it has not been frost bitten, and then supply the moisture that evaporates by reason of it's being cut several days, with water, he will have good feed. 1 suppose if the farmer planted corn late in the season for ensilage, he would natural ly wait until it was frost-bitten; at least, l do that, because freezing seems to mature the plant. 1 remem- Der one season several years ago we had very wet period during the or dinary corn planting season and did not get our corn planted until June 23. About the 20th of September we had a hard freeze which killed the plant entirely and at the same time 1t was in the roasting-ear stage. We let It stand for about week, then put It in our silos and had excellent feed in fact, to all appearances, as good as we have ever had before or since. 1 would not recommend using frost bitten corn. if a farmer can mature his corn, but if he has immature corn which is absolutely worthless anyway and you cannot handle it except in a silo, I would advise him to let it freeze and then put in it silo.
 q believe the advice of Mr. Har- grove is good, though it is not likely that we will have freezes here soon enough to be relied upon as an int1u- ence in the harvesting of the silage.
 "Silos may be filled with cowpeas and soy beans, or clover when mixed with pea vines or soy beans. Alfalfa may also be used with clover and peas. As the corn crop in most sections IS short on account of the drouth, it is to get the silos filled, even though it be necessary to resort to some of the other crops in part or in whole to do it."

FED ANDREWS SHOT

rom Tuesdays Daily.
 Ed Andrews, an unmarried farmer about 33 years of age, was shot and possibly fatally injured by Bud" Reynolds, aged 23, near Republican shortly after noon yesterday, accord ing to a report reaching Conway late yesterday afternoon. On account of no telephone service being available today, it has not been learned wheth- CT Andrews succumbed to his injuries or whether Reynolds has been arrest ed. The injured man was still alive last night and it was thought he had good chance to recover. Reynolds had not been taken in custody at the last accounts.
 Acording to the reports from Re publican, Reynolds, who is son of Joe Reynolds, living on adjoiaing farm to Andrews, waylaid and shot Andrews from ambush as the latter was climbing over fence. A charge of No. 8 shot, fired from a distance of about 40 yards, struck Andrews full III Jlle late dIu DIGdSC, dUOuC OO oIloI entering his body. One struck him just under his eye and ne may lose the sight of the organ, and one shot entering the abdominal cavity is be- lieved to be the most serious injury. After he fired the shot, Reynolds is said to have pursued Andrews for a distance of nearly mile, endeavoring to get another shot at him, but did not fire again. Andrews, it is stated, was 
 It is understood that the two men had been at outs for some time on ac- count of an alleged intimacy between Andrews and Reynolds sister. Rey- holds, it is stated, had threatened An drews some time ago and ordered him to sell his farm and leave the county.

LONG DROUTH IS
 AT LASI BROKEN SHOWERS ARE GENERAL JULY APPARENTLY STARTING OUT TO BE AS WET AS JUNE
 WAS DRY.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 The prolonged drouth, which con- tiued in some sections of the county from May 4, has been effectively brok- en by showers which are believed to have visited every portion of the coun- ty during the past four days. The last portion to be relieved was a narrow strip of territory east and southeast of Conway, on which not enough rain to settle the dust had fallen since May 4. This section was visited by copious showers this morning, Saltil- To reporting the first good rain in 62 days.
 Early corn has been unquestionably damaged by the extremely dry and hot weather which prevailed during May and June and on some farms the old corn will be total loss. Scat tered showers relieved the drouth in other sections and the corn crop was not seriously hurt. Late corn has not been badly damaged anywhere in the county and cotton has likewise with stood the drouth without serious in- jury. The plant is small but healthy and vigorous The worst loss in the cotton crop will be from bad stands, which is estimated by some to run as high as 15 per cent. Since the recent showers some seed planted early in May have come up, but unless frost arrives unusually late this could not mature.
 July is apparently starting out to be what June was decidedly not-a wet month. While the showers have been light, some precipitation has been recorded at Conway every day this month. The old saying that ''it never rains at night in July has again proved false, as rains have al ready fallen here twice at night this month.
 June will doubtless go down as the hottest, dryest month on record at Conway. According to the records kept by Prof. George H. Burr, there were 15 days during the month when the maximum temperature was 100 or higher The highest temperature was 106 on June 28, and the hottest nights were those of June 29 and 30, when the minimum recorded was 93 degrees. The coolest day was June 16, when the maximum was only 80 degrees and the coolest night was July IT, when a minimum of 65 de- grees was recorded.
 Rain fell on only two days, .43 inch on June IF and 50 inch on June 24. There were 23 clear days, six partly cloudy days an done cloudy day.
 The rainfall for the first six months of 1914 has been less than one-half that of the same period in 1913, ac- cording to Prof. Burr's records, and in no month of 1914 did the precipi- tation equal or exceed that of the same month in 1913. The total rain-
