Prof. Morse Lectures

Prof. Stanley F. Morse, super
lntendent of the State Extension
Division, of Tucson, returned
from the Lakeside country last
Wednesday and delivered his
lecture that night in the Acade-
my building. While the crowd
was far from large, those who
attended were pleased and salts
fled with his instructive address.
All who heard him made the re-
mark that he 'sabes" his busi-
ness.
His talk was not devoted en-
tirely to dry farming, but con-
tanned many valuable sugges-
tons for irrigated lands. Among
these were proper amount of
irrigation water, conservation Of
moisture By the mulch system,
making wind-breaks by planting
young trees, care in the prepa-
ration of the soil before plant
ing, etc.
Some of the grain crops in the
timber district are being watered
too much, he says, and if car
ried on will ultimately result in
the starting Of alkali which de-
stroys the fertility of the soil.
Snowflake and other farmers of
this section should. take notice of
this fact.
Prof. Morse departed Thurs
day for Phoenix, and from thence
to Tucson. He expects to be in
the southern part of the state
about two weeks, when he will
.s1.e have for the east Oh an extended
trip.

Attack on MalOney.

Yellow cards attacking the Demo-
cratic party of Arkansas because the
state convention saw fit to choose j.
S. Maloney, a Catholic, for it's secre-
tary of the state committee, are being
circulated over the state. They are
the product of a Socialist with rabid
anti Catholic tendencies. The writer
does not tell the people that Jack Ma
loney is one of the most courteous,
most efficient, and most popular
young men of Little Rock. He does
not tell them that the people of Pu-
laski county deem it great privilege
to give Jack Maloney anything in the
way of an office that he wants. He
does not say that Jack MalOney is a
character held in the highest esteem
by man, woman and child, and that
he is everyone's friend.
1t is true that Jack Maloney is a
Catholic, but heretofore this has never
been considered political barrier, or
has politics been considered matter
of religion. This attack will make his
friends even more strong for him, and
it will at the same time solidify the
party against the Socialistic attack
Jack Maloney has ignored the yellow
cards, but because of their circulation
he is taking less of a prominent par
in directing the state campaign than
he would otherwise have done. This
too, is against the advice q hi
friends, but it only goes to show the
disposition of the mamie would rath
err sacrifice himself than the party

but there has yet never developed
enough sentiment on any side to pro
