THE GREAT VALUE OF SELF-CONTROL

The following splendid ed itorial is from Farm and Rance It contains a great deal of truth and is well worthy of thoughtful reading by old and young.
 "A great man is not the man who quickly and passionately resents an unkind word or an uncharitable deed; he is man that is kinder than his neighbor, more charitable than his adversary, more sympa- thetic than he is thought to be. Self-control is the real force that makes a great man, a use ful citizen and a contented being.
 James in the Scriptures gives vivid picture of a great ship which may be turned about with a small helm; of a small bit that turns the horse; of the tongue, which is a dead ly poison when used to injure ones fellow-man and how hard it Is for people to control this member. Many examples could be given in history liter ature and the daily walkoflife where great damage has been done under passion when the tongue was an unbridled mem Der. There are many disrupt ed communities without roads, schools. churches, and pleas ant neighborhood unity, as a result of some ones unruIy tongue. The neighborhood may be kept back and the peo- pie prevented from enjoying those things that progressive people require because some one did not exercise self-con- trol. Some of the worst wars the world has ever known were preeipitated and con- ducted in salughtering inno- cent people who were them selves not responsible because the leaders in whom the peo- pie trusted and to whom they had given authority had lost self-contr0l.
 "Threisnothingmore esential than self-control. Let every young man bride himself, . govern his habits and choose his conduct, thus making his life a pleasure, a help, an ex- ample for his friends and as sociates. This is his privilege and his duty, if he would be- come a great man and useful citizen,

ASSESS AT so PER CENT

Because of depressed fnan- cial conditions and the likei- hood of the assessed valuation this year to fall below that of last year, the Arkansas Tax Commission is sending letters to all county tax assessors rec ommending that all property be assessed this year at 50 per cent of it's actual value. The commission declares that the law gives it the right to assess certain property at 50 per cent of its actual value. and not what it would sell for at | forced sale, and urges shat each assessor in the state do his best tc accomplish the result with regard to all tho property he assesses.

WHAT WE CAN DO IN ARKANSAS


 Arkansas surprises theWorld with the magnitude of its pos abilities. Not only has the state great variey of resour- ces, but ithas an economical method of production and con- venient markets ready to re- ceiYe the output, whether from the farm or the factory. Ark ansas peaches grown on $25 an acre land, sell on par with Florida oranges from $1,- GOO an acre orchards; a bush el of Arkansas sweet potatoes, which yields 200 bushels an acre, retails at the price of a bushel of Northern wheat, the the average production of which is 9 bushels on an acre of land worth S100; and a sec tion of Arkansas prairie will prduce as much rice as an or iental archipelago. It is from her forests that the world for the next hundred years will get a large share of it's hard woood and pine lumber; 1t IS Arkasas that now produces the bulk of the worlds supply of bauxite, the ore from which aluminium is made, it is from Arkansas that the generations yet to come will be supplied with coal and granite and it is from the streams and sands of this resourceful state that pearls and diamonds are brought forth to crown the overfiowing cornueopia.
 Nobody ever heard of a fla mine. plague, a panic, a crop failure or revolt originating in Arkansas. The temperament of the people is as equable as the character of the climate. Tranquility and eontentment charaeerizes the hisory of the state even as far back as the days of Indian dWellers of the land among whom there Is no record of strife.
 The even distributor of wealth in Arkansas lessens the disparity between classes, brings all men into moreneigh- borly relation and creates condition that makes life en ioyble under any and all cir cumstances. This truth is summed up in the oft-heard expression. Tt is aeasier to make living in Arkansas than anywhere else in the world" "
 Only little more than B. 000,000 acres of the 33,616,- GOO acres of land in Arkan- sas are in crops, according to the most recent reports of the government census bureau. Tins means that 28,616,000 acres of idle land are waiting for the homesteader to come and develop the vast agricul- tural wealth that lies under the forests and praries, in the valleys and on the hillsides. If Arkansas had the same pro portion of her land in cultiV2- tion that her sister state, Mis- souri has, there would be half a million farms instead of 214,- GOO, and there would be a pop ulation of 5000. .000 instead of 1.574,000 If Arkansas farm ed her land as lose as Iowa, she would have a million farms and 6,000.000 people. Peo- pie are the states greatest need-people to develop and work the land and make ev- cry tillable acre yield as much as the best farmed acre is now putting forth.
 Arkansas welcomes the new conner and holds out the hand of friendship to him, whether he be farmer, business man or laborer.

My Fathers First
 Crop in Arkansas

Sometimes look through the hind sight is as good as a look through the foresight. My father lived on the Col. Turney farm, about one mile below the old Bill Merriweth- CT home, on DOta Creek. This was the year of our Lord 1860, a long, long time ago. l was an eleven-year-old boy, and every inch d boy and then some. My father had six fine mules. two good horses and one man. His intention was to go to Texas in the fall, where he had started the year before, as his being in Arkan- sas was caused by a spell of sickness. His aim being Tex as he kept all his stock and there were enough blow boys to work and we did 1t He did some modern scientific work that year and got great re- suits. He broke his land with a double team, at least five or six inches deep. When plant ing time come he hd his corn gound layed off with two mules nd an old shovel-ploW ten crossed with double team and followed with bull-tongue sub-soil and dropped his corn two grains to the hill. This work was done where Ebert and Buster Jernigan now live. The public road ran by there as now. by the farm, and not a few neighbors passing by would say You are going to considerable trouble in fixing your soil,, My father would reply "I have never made a roop in Arkansas and 1 am get ting ready for drouth. y "Perhap it will not come. then he would say. l am not hurt by the preparation, if it comes I am ready" " The drouth came, and vegetation withered, dropped and died. But our field of corn remained green and we had plenty of fodder to pull. Ben Franklin said, "PloW deep while slug gards sleep, you'll have corn to sell and corn to keep. Deep blowing then permits shallow blowing during culti- .vation. Most crops are made or unmade at breaking time. This was ffty-five years ago, the land is good yet and we'll titled and fertilized will make forty or fifty bushels of corn now. Two or three years ago that was demonstrated on FL bert s farm. Intense flaming IS the policy today. Our crop outlook is one hundred per cent,
