GOOD Time NOW TO
DRAIN WET LAND
Weekly Letter of John H.
Page Always Of Interest
To The Farmer.

During the rainy and wet weather
of the winter months is the best
time to clear out the open bitches
and drain your land. Wet land on
the farm is a nuisance. The wet
spots are often small, but they
stand in the way of regular plant
ing and cropping. They have to be
planted late or replanted, and if
they grow crop at all they leave
ugly spots in the growing crops. 1t
pays to drain out the wet spots,
even at considerable cost.
If the wet spot is of the saucer
shape, Or pond-like and has no con-
venient outlet for ditchine, the
trouble can be overcome sometimes
by boring or digging we'll in the
lowest spot and filling the we'll with
poles or broken rock If the well
goes down deep enough it will often
draw the water off.
By clearing bitches or digging
new ones during the wet weather
the running water is very helpful
in determining the grade required
to run the water of properly. In
running your bitches it is always
wise to follow as nearly as possible
the natural drain always in exist
ence, unless it makes the course too
crooked, A ditch should be as
nearly straight as possible and it
will pay we'll in the long run in
following the natural course of the
fall of the water If you will cut
through the high places and blow out
the stumps Of trees in the way and
make the ditch straight, or nearly
so' A straight ditch will carry off
the water faster than a crooked one
will, and will not fill up as easily.
If you have hogs plant an acre or
two of soy beans, and also a patch
OF sorghum for hog pasture. Plant
the soy beans in the drill in rows
about three feet apart and plow
them out like corn, using side har-
rows for t h e later civilizations.
Plant about the middle Of April.
When the beans begin to Get ripe
turn the hogs In and watch them
grow and fatten. If the soy beans
rlpen and fall on the ground they
Will not damage, and the hogs will
get them, Soy beans will make
you a fine hay crop too and will do
well If you SOW them broadcast like
peas The sorghum patch should
be used for hog pasture during
August when pastures are dry and
barren Plant the sorghum in time
lor 1t to be large enough to turn the
hogs on by the first of August
Keeping the hogs up Is the best
way to keep the cholera out, Give
them plenty Of a mixture of salt,
sulphur and charcoal, an d keep
plenty of fresh water handy for
them.
John II, Page,
Commissioner Of Agriculture,

cast in the election. The amend
ment also provides for city, county
and district elections under the in
itiative and referendum to deter
mine local matters.
-
The three amendments to be vot-
ed on at the next general election
are the one mentioned above, one
to allow the levy of a IL mill tax
for school purposes, and another to
allow counties to levy a 3 mill per-
manent tax, issue bonds and bor-
row money for the purpose of max
ing roads.
-
The house murdered the bill
which sought to change the legal
rate of interest In this state from
10 to 8 per cent. The vote was 36
for the measure and So against,
This bill was introduced jointly by
Representative Buchanan Of Wash
ineton county and Representative
Perkins of Marion county. Those
who opposed the measure said II
would drive capital from the state
When the senate resolution fav-
oring an amendment for woman
suffrage first reached the house a
South Arkansas member OF that
body proposed the following amend
ment; THAT the question be re-
ferred TO the women Of the state at
a special election to be held for
that purpose, and thet no woman
shall be entitled to vote who has
not paid a poll tax, and none shall
be required to divulee her age, in
case she be more than 80 years
old" The amendment failed to
carry.
-
The senate passed a bill by Sena-
tor Smith Of Union county to pay
state prisoners or their families a
portion of their earnings while con-
fined In the penitontiary, The
measure was slaughtered In the
lower house
Sharp County record., 1915-02-12
BRIEFS ABOUT THE
GENERAL ASSEMBL Y
Suffrage Amendment Loses
Out Just AS 1t Appears
About To Win.

The question Of woman suffrage
will not be voted on by the people
at the next general election, The
senate had adopted resolution
submitting this question to the vot-
ers and the matter was in the lower
house, where it seemed the resolu-
ton would surely carry, But be-
fore the house could take up the
resolution petitions for a third
amendment to the constitution
were filed with the secretary of
state by the labor organizations Of
the state under the initiative and
referendum, thereby making 1t USE
less for the legislature to sanction
the equal suffrage or any other
amendment Only three amend
ments can be submitted at any one
election, and two had previously
been proposed
--
The third amendment, initiated
by the labor interests, would amend
the initiative and referendum in
this state, One change would be
that there should be no limit to the
number of amendments submitted
at one election Another, that the
legislature could not, except by a
three-fourths vote, repeal or amend
any act passed by the people, An
other, that no act passed by the
people could be declared unconsti-
tutional except by unanimous
vote of the supreme court, An.
other, that the governor could not
exercise the veto power on any
measure adopted by the people.
Another, that all petitions would
become a law IL they receive a ma.
jority of the votes cast for or oealn0t
them, instead Of a majority Of votes

SENATOR CLARKE

In late years this paper has sew
N eral times referred to the fact that

ment. He is about like a wild
" horse, and it would require deep
prophetic instinct to tell which way
\ he intends to jump next.
M Last week Senator Clarke led a
revolt of seven senators against
The shipping bill, a strong admins
tration measure. This brought
Senator Stone of Missouri to his
feet, and he proceeded to warm the
Febel members, Senator Clarke es-
pecially.
