FALL BREAKING.

The benefit of fall breaking for in creasing the water holding capacity of the soil and for improving it's con dition are such as to make it well worth while for the Arkansas farmer to take advantage of the practice, but should this not be convincing enough there are still left the advantages of breaking in the controlling of various insects
 Grasshoppers are more effectually controlled by fall breaking than any other practice Fall breaking turns the egg pods Of the grasshopper un- der deeply so that the young hoppers upon matching are too deeply buried [ make their way to the surface.
 Fall breaking offers one of the best mediums for controlling cut worms This may be beneficial either because of the fact that it turns the worm under. or because it prevents late cut worm moths from depositing their eggs on the same land
 A number of insects are killed in the pupa stage as result of fall breaking. Common examples of such insects are wire worm, and the corn ear worm.
 Aside from this fall breaking dis poses of lot of vegetation which otherwise offer favorable hibernating places for countless numbers of in- seets. The good accomplished i'll this last named way is too large and too comprehensive to be discussed within this short article

CURIOUS CONDITION OF SCHOOL AFFAIRS AR ESS
 IN BENTON COUNTY

Little Rock, Oct "A somewhat peculiar condition exists in Benton county with reference to the compul- sorry education laws. and the people have been in quandary whether they are subject to them or not.
 In 1909 the Legislature enacted law which compels parents and guar dians to send their minor children to school under certain conditions. A but Benton county was fncluded, edI''gu, so that the law applied to that county.
 The Legislature Of 1911 passed an- other compulsory educational bill. general in terms, excluding from it's provisions certain counties of which Benton was one
 Gntangling the tangle for County Superintendent W. R Edwards of Benton county. Attorney General Moose says:
 1t seems clear to me that the later act, by excluding Benton county from it's provisions, did not affect the the former act in any way The two acts, while they have the same pur- poses in view, are not identical by any means It may be supposed that the people of Benton county prefer red the former act under which they were operating at the time the later act was passed, and for that reason procured the exemption of Benton county from the provisions of the act of 1911. If Benton county had not been excluded from the pro- visions of the last act, then the last Act would have necessarily repeal
 the first But the last act exclud es Benton county specifically, there by leaving the act of 1909 in full force and effect.

STORING SWEET POTATOES
 FOR HOME USE.

Every year there goes to waste over the state of Arkansas several thousand bushels of sweet potatoes. This loss most generally due to the lack Of proper storage conditions, and can be easily prevented provid- ed little care is exercised in the storing Most of the potatoes that rot i'll storage do so because of ex- cessive heat and moisture rather than because of cold.
 One of the first things necessary is to have constructed a shed or hous to keep off the rainfall If the shed Is used the dirt should be heaped up beneath the shed about foot higher than the surrounding soil This the chances of the potatoes keeping Dig the potatoes, and if the weather is not too cold, allow them to remain in the field for about twentyfour hours so as to dry off before being placed in storage. After they have been thus dried carry them to the shed and pile. A flue made of l in. b s in lumber through which holes hay been bored may be used for ventilat- ing. If used it must. of course, be put in the center of the bank and the potatoes piled around it
 After the pot toes are thus piled they should be covered with d layer of hay or straw about six inches deep and allow to remain thus until cold weather begins to come on. As the weather grows colder the dirt must be gradually heaped over the ank until it covers the top Of the bank. A layer of corn stalks or such material is generally placed over the hay and then the dirt put on. This is very simple method for the stor- ing of the potato, and if properly don at least 90 per cent of the potatoes will pass through the winter in good condition.

BRING BEZOEK BACK.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 12.-There
 has been started here a movement
 Q bring Hugo BeZdek back to the
 University of Arkansas as athletic
 the Arkansas legislature made no
 appropriation for his department, and
 the University of Oregon offered greater opportunities for him to dem oas rate his abitity as instructor ill
 athletics. Arkansas has supplied the University with better talent than Bezdek had when he teok hold of the institutions athletics, but has made a poor showing since he departed The defeat at the hands Of Ouachita last Saturday was the last straw for the University followers, and they are loudly calling for the re turn of Bezdek They failed to re spond financially two years ago, to keep him in the state, but they are apparently in different frame of
 mind now. The defeat of Arkansas i by 0uachita was the first time the 1 University was ever defeated by a
 state institution. It is not known
 that Bezdek will return, but he has
 been written to, and asked to name the conditions under which he would return to Arkansas.

ROOSEVELT WANTS
 CHANGE OF VENUE

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 11.-Theodore Roosevelt has asked for a change of venue for the trial of the suit brought against him by William Barnes, Jr. He grounds his request for a change on the fact that under present condl- tions the trial would take place in the home county of Barnes and he be- lieves that this fact would initiate against him severely.
 Very great interest is being mani fested in the coming trial. Barnes is asking for $50,OO0 damages for libel and the colonel will undoubtedly go the limit to prove that Barnes has taken part in crooked politics. The attempt to prove this is sure to result in the production of lot of evidence of a sensational kind.
