4 $50 CORN PRIZE

To all 1t may concern. 1 am thinking of raising a contribut- ion for the purpose of giving $25 to the one raising 100 bu of corn grown on one acre of land measured, and corn weighed out supervised by two disinterested witnesses, and $50 to the one growing 150 bu of corn on one acre, under foregoing conditions.
 Those interested may get busy. This County has never raised 100 bu on one acre as this scribe has ever heard of.
 would like very much that such a thing could be done this year.
 Those that 1 have spoken to in regard to this matter favor it. Now we arein search of the man who will look after the demon stration and collect the same. This interests me as much as politics. and those running for office, will be liberal supporters of this interprise if they would be elected, and furthermore it strikes me that the next best man or boy should be remember ed for his effort also.
 We want to formulate a plan and give 1t out through the papers so every body can have a chance. Send to me, or the Picayune any suggestions you have and let us make the thing move.
 Yours for better agriculture,
 B. F. Steele.

STATE TEACHERS
 ASSOCIATION

From reports coming in from the attendance leaders from all parts of the State, the officers of the State Teachers Association predicts that the annual meeting to be held at Little Rock, April 16, F and IS will be the most largely attended meeting in the history of the Asfociation.
 Strong programs for both the general and section meetings of the association are being prepar- ed and will soon be ready for publication and distribution. The programs will contain something of special and direct interest to every teacher who attends this meeting.
 The four hundred or more at tendance leaders are active and enthusiastic in boosting" the at tendance at this meeting. A number of principals and super intendents have written that ev- cry teacher from their schools will be in attendance at the meeting this year.
 During the last few years the attendance at the annual Associ- ation meeting has been steadily growing and the officers of the Association are planning and working to make the meeting in April the biggest and best" in all its history. The newspapers of the state are generously CO., operating in the attendance cam paign by giving notice and pub licity to the meeting through their columns from time to time.
 Every teacher should plan to attend the April meeting of the Association. The inspiration and professional uplift that come from these meetings must mean much to the teachers in their wo4k. An attendance of 2,500 teachers has been set as the standard for the April meeting. It will be a matter of special in- terest to the large number of rural teachers of the state to know that the discussions at the general meetings will have for their theme Rural School Im- provements and Professional Eff ficiency.',

YOUNG MAN READ THIS

The most eminent living author ity on nervous Eand mental dis ease, himself a drinking man predisposed in favor of liquor, has reached the conclusion that alcohol is the greatest and most potent of all factors in the de- terioration of humanity. After 9 years of most minute eXperi ment, conducted with the calm unbiased attitude of the true scientist, Dr, Emil Braepelln, professor of mental diseases in the University of Munich, he de- monstrated that alcohol is nar- octic first, last and always: that the actual benefit is purely im- aginary, and that one does less and poorer work always under it's influence, although Cautiously enough, he thinks he is turning out more and better work than usual.

HOW 10 RAISE EARLY POTATOES

HoU iu nRiSL lH1kl IpIH|V'o
 Irish potatoes .on the early market always bring fancy prices anywhere from $3 to $5 per bar rel. AS to getting them early, at least few weeks earlier than the majority of growers, a Vir- ginla farmer gives an interest ing experience in current is- sue of the Farm Life:
 The first thing of importance is the proper kind of soil. It should be of medium light, sandy nature, neither too stiff nor too light, in a fairly good state of fertilization. Land which raises good cabbage will raise good potatoes, have found Experience has taught me that there is no use to expect a large crop of potatoes from poor un- fertile soil no matter how large an amount of fertilizer we may use. An ideal place for patch is an old garden spot that has been steadily improved from year to year. Land where crim- son clover has been fallowed un- der for several years in success ion make an ideal placelfor spuds. after selecting the place for the patch it should be broken deeply deeply during the month ofaDec. if possible, if not, early in Jan uary. Leave it after breaking until you are ready to plant which should be between the first and fifteenth of February in this sec ton of the country, if weather conditions are favorable. We manure the patch broadcast with manure from the hog pen or fine ely pulverized stable manure. In this way not So much manure will be needed in the row at-planting time. When ready to plant 1 re- blow the land and disk with har- row until a finely pulverized con- dition. Then lay off the rows three and one half feet apart, us, ing one-horsesturn blow with large sized mold board. As for deed. Early Rose" was used. We cut from one to two eyes. us- ing all the potato. The larger the piece the better the germ ination and the start the young plant will have. Cut two eyes if possible. Drop the p e c e about twelve inches apart in the rows. and then nearly fill the row with good rotten manure from the hog pen preferred. Then with the turn blow throw two good furrows on the potato row.
 As soon as all indications of winter are past. drag down these rows until they are level, or near ly so. As soon as the young po- tatoes begin to show above the ows, SOW good potato fertilizer, a grade that contains a goodly percentage of potash, on each side of the row at the rate of 6U0 to 800 pounds per acre.
 Cultivate shallow and frequent ly until the crop is laid by. At the last working. use q larger sized hoe to throw some soil close up to the splants. Never throw great amounts of soil around them.

it takes a man with pretty good grit to go into the woods where the leaves are thick and no breeze stirring, and put in hard days work clearing land. To clear land is hard labor if you do 1t yourself and expensive if. you hire the labor. A good way is to deaden the timber a couple of years ahead. Now is a good time to begin the work whenever you have a spare day or two. Dead en everything that is large en,, ough to deaden. The bushes and

saplings can be cut down. It is good idea to hack the saplings off about two or three feet from the ground, letting them fall and hang by the back. s sss The limbs on the trees will die and fall first. Some of thestrees will then fall. The grass. weeds, vines a n d briers willscome up. In the late fall after about two years have elapsed you can.ssset fire to the whole mass. and most likely will burn up thetmost.of it. You can then go in with teams chains and cant hooks and soon finish up a good jobaof clearing, and yonr land will be in good condition, as the roots will be.dead and partial Iy routed. This.sis a cheaper method than ataking the timber down green.@ Now l am going to tell you secret about deadening timber. Make a solution of arse nic and salsasoda. Dissolve the arsenic at the rate of one pound to gallon of water. Put tn e arsenic in the.water and heat and stir until dissolved.s If any of the water is spilled or evaporat- ed, replace. j sThen dissolve the sal soda at the rate of one pound to gallon of..water. Then mix the two solutions.t Put the mix ture in a coal oil can or something having a small spout. Pour a small stream around the trees deadened. .wherelthe trees were hacked.1kBy this means you poi son them and they die surely and suddenly, and begin to rot, clear down into the:roots. In a short time the:worms begin to work on them, and the trees disappear much sooner than Dy the old way. Besides. it is not necessary to cut out the chips nor to goso deep in deadening. Be careful about the mixture and do not let any stock get to it, because it is poison. Wash out the vessels good and do not pour any of the fluid on the ground where it will poison stock. You will find this method valuable in saving time and money in clearing land. It is a good idea to put in some new ground every year. It soon counts up.

helpful suggestions in their work. At this season of the year they are bothered about moths among st the woolens. Moth balls are nuisance in use and a source of annoyance on the day of reasur- rection of the woolens in the fall. A perfectly goodaway to protect woolens against moths is to get some good brown domestic and make bags, and put the woolens in these bags. Then tie or sew the mouth of the tag so tight a moth can't get in. If you will sew the bags SD well the moth can't get in through the seam, he will never bother your wool ems, and you can put them away much more conveniently instead of resorting to the old tim ( method of moth balls, cedar chests, etc.
