itentiary which he characterized as
revolving. Prison reform, he urged.
should be demanded by the press. He
appealed for an enlightened attitude
and practice in penology.
The people must be brought to
realize that the statutes are to be OBJ
served and enforced, but 1 hope that
the time is coming when, this being a
inatter or course, we can turn our at
tention to the constructive legislation
now demanded" he asserted.
The governor then took up progress
In education, including the compul-
sorry statute. Nevertheless, South Car
olina still stood 47th in Hteracv. There
must be no satisfied complacency, but
continued effort for education, he
urged. He spoke Of eduaction as the
problem Of the betterment of the
race Vocational training and spe-
clal work for teachers, he said, would
pay for themselves in increased eff
cheney.
GOV. Manning then turned to the
work of the tax commission, which de-
served the support Of all citizens. 1t
would do nothing radical, he said. but
would work for equality of assess
ment, with justice to all and hardship
10 none. There is bound to be a
higher standard of assessment for cor
porations than for individuals. he
said. However, urged the governor
II the people will cooperate it will pe
possible to secure just and equitable
taxation.
The need Of a land registration act.
ne asserted, was potent.
More home owners, Gov. Manning
explained, would mean a better State.
He cited the Argentine home owner
ship plan by which the government
quilt house sand sold them to indiv,d-
uals on easy terms. He urged consid-
Grafton Of some such plan or it's
equivalent. y
Radical legislation, he admitted.
might be necessary, but there should
be some step in this direction, even
though it took high degree of cour-
age.
The governor wished he said, to see
the state debt refunded on a better
basis.
Taking up the State warehouse sys-
tenn, the governor explained the cor
relation OF this plan and the federal
reserve system, advocating laws to
make the banks resources available
for the farmers one big crop. He
pointed out the need of changes in
the present warehouse law, but said
he found it good on the whole. He
promised to recommend in his next
message steps to make the system of
lasting benefit. He would suggest. he
said, a board Of directors to work
with the commissioner.
There must be the governor said in
conclusion, continuance of the steady
work for the people and of help for
those that need it and of sturdy self
respect which will enable the State to
retain her position and advance to the
front rank Of her sisters.

The question Immediately raised in the

last? AS for the source of the buying,
the groundwork was already present.
Rich investors and ~ by night specu-
lators who have made fortunes in grain
and the war stocks and want to put
some money aside for real keeping have
been buying railroads. In the last three
weeks stock Exchange houses. not only
the conservatives. have been urging the
merits Of some buying of railroad stocks.
The banks for several days have been
asking for q larger proportion of rail-
road stocks in loans. The immediate inn

MY Dear Senator
I'D have just signed IA paper asking
you to vote against the Pcsey inspec-
ton bill. In addition | wish to say
that | am absolutely sure that public
sentiment in this country does not
endorse such vicious, un-AmericaE
measure which is nothing but part
of the fight now being made on the
Catholic church throughout the coun
try by few rabid anti-Catholics.
I have lived in this county nearly
all the time since 1860 and know its
history and its people. Many of our
best citizens have been and many
are today of the Catholic faith, as
clean in their iives, as honorable
and as patriotic as those of any other
church, bar none. Not only they but
many Professionals regard this bill as
an insult and 1 trust that you will
not be in the ranks of its supporters,
Your friend,
"a. B. GRACE.

IRISH POTATO CROW
ING IN ARKANSAS
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN FERTi.
LIKING, PLANTING AND CULT-
WALTON OF STAPLE FOOD PROD
UCT ADAPTABLE TO ARKANSAS.

Excepting rice, the potato is the
most widely used food plant for the
human family. 1t should therefore
find a place on every farm. Original
ing in America, it has been improved
and it's cultivation has been increased
at about the same rate as has been the
increase in population. They are now
grown in all states of the United
States, but principally in the Northern
and Eastern states.
Fertilizer.
Generally speaking a fertilizer con-
tanning from three per cent to four
per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight
per cent phosphoric acid, and nine per
cent to 10 per cent of potash will give
good results, the kind and amount to
apply depending upon the kind OF
soil and the natural fertility. If the
soil is clayey it will require less pot
ash than the sandy types.
Planting.
Potatoes should be planted as early
as possible in the spring, say, from
February 20 in the southern part of
the state to April l in the northern
part. Plant about four inches deep
in rows three feet apart, planting the
pieces one foot apart in the row.
or the varieties best suited for Ar
kansas, Red Bliss, Early Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are possibly the best early va
rieties, while Rural New Yorker Nc.
2, Carmen No. 3 and Sir Walter Ra-
leigh are the best late varieties. There
is no one variety that is best for all
soils under all circumstances.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should begin as early as
possible after the plants begin to an
pear, and should continue at intervals
of ten days to two weeks. Do not use
plows that run deep into the soil, but
father one that has number of small
teeth to pulverize and loosen the soil
to depth of from 21a to 3 inches.
The object of cultivation is to keep
down weeds and to conserve the soil
moisture, therefore cultivation should
! be done as early as possible after a
rain even if the ground had been
plowed the day before.
