USE COTTON GOODS

While everybody is working hard to help Arkansas raise the things she eats why not let all join hands in a movement to "get Arkansas to wearing the cotton she raises" If put into practice the latter slogan would place the balaace of trade on the Arkansas side of the ledger and everybody farmer, banker, and mer chant would be more prosper ous. Let's not only practice cotton but preach it by wear ing cotton goods. Many beau i ful garments can be made from the voiles, crepes, poplin cloth, percales, ginghams, cot ton whipcord, linens, piques, and organdies. There should be general movement to get Arkansas folks in the habit of wearing cotton goods where these fabrics will cnveniently substitute for silks, linens and Woolens.

URGES FARMERS TO
 USE MORELIMESTONE
Can be Secured very Cheap and Its Use Will Prove Beneficial on Many Farms.

Last week 1 wrote upon the subject of ground limestone and rock phosphate for Ark ansas soils. A great deal has been said upon the subject of lining soils. but mostly from rthe standpoint of correcting acidity. or to be plainer to cure the sourness of the soils. This is important and must not be ov- erlooked, but there are other benefits. A good deal of land is called dead, or lifeless soil, water soaked soil, etc. These all need ground limestone, be- cause almost uniformly, they are sour. But they must be drained we'll to get the full val ue of lime. Lime will do but lit tie good on land that is going to remain covered with stand ing water the greater part of the year. First, drain or dry your land if it needs it, then apply the lime. Use ground limestone in preference to burnt lime The burnt lime is a caust- ic, and will kill out some of the bacterial life that Is soessential to the soil.
 All plants have some lime in them, consequently all soils must have lime in some form. Land that has been cultivated q long time with no green stuff, stalks, weeds or other vege- table matter turned under, get hard and pack, and break up in clods. The soil gets lifeless and poor. When packed the air cannot get into 1t, and 1t gets poorer and poorer. Lime will loosen 1t up. make it crumble, and let the air in and the wa ter circulate through 1t freely. This condition will release more plant food. The lime will have q chemical action on the soil particles and release more plant food, If you blow under green-stuff the lime will help b change it into plant food and enrich the soil. Long continued cultivation of sandy soils tends to make them more sandy The humUs or vegetable matter rots and is used up and only sand remains. There IS but little life in t and 1t will not hold moist ure. The air circulates to) free ly and dries 1t out too rapidly. Il Will not hold fertilizer well, and the green stuff turned un- der, s0urs. Lime it. The lime will help to overcome the diff faculties. Lime is an element needed in the soil to help the other elements. It will make more plant food available. It will warm and enliven the land let the air and water circulate properly. stimulate certain bac- teria in the soil, and on the whole make your land more productive. Every farmer that ean grow alfalfa should do so.
 In using gound limestone, put four tons to the acre. In about four years add about one ton to the acre every year. You will not get your best results the first year Ground limestone is fool proof" You cannot use too much CT hurt your land with 1t. Buy car load. Don't try to spread it over your en- tire farm, but put it on ten acres. Next year do likewise and so on until you have lined your entire farm.

ALcoR, THE DOUBLE STAR.
Much Brighter Now Than lt Was In
the Tenth Century.

Much Brighter Now Than Il Was In
the Tenth Century.
The two stars, Mizar and Alcor, form
a double star system which can easily
be perceived by the naked eye. THIS
was not the Isl formerly, as the
Arab used the resolution Of the system
into its two c0mponents az q test for
good eyes. y.
1t would seem, therefore, that this
star has increased in brightness since
the tenth century, a s%upposition which
is supported by the fact that 1t is not
mentioned by the ancients.
The history Of this star was familiar
to astronomers when it was found, In
1907. that Alcor is itself a double star.
It Is now discovered by Harlow Snap.
ley that Alcor varies in brightness, the
variations having a feeble amplitude
and a short period. The spectrum typo
of Alcor, which is a star A5-that Is to
say, a white star with hydrogen pre-
dominating and the doubling of the
lines-announces a variation Of the Al
gol type, by eclipse rather than con-
hnuous variation.
1t is supposed that there exists q
couple Of elliptic stars very close to-
gether and inclined on their orbit In
such a way that the mutual eclipse is
feeble or almost nothing, the variations
Of brightness resulting from their
marked ell1pt1city. - Cleveland Plain
