RIGHT MAN FOR THE POSITION
colored Citizen Knew His oualifca'
tlons and the Job Was His as
Matter Of Course.

oliver o. Agler, lately deceased, had
occasion to go TO a hardwood lumber
yard at Cairo. where he and Fred W.
Upham we're in business. The floods
had caused some annoyance by depos-
iting mud from the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers on the planks In storage.
Mr.. Agler was not long in compil-
ing a crew OF negroes to wash the
soiled stock. Various ones were as
signed to hold the planks and there
was a Job for one man to hold the
hose.
"Who is going to take charge OF
the hose?" asked the proprietor.
A long black man uncoiled himself
"Ah reckon Abs de washinest niggah
aroun' here" he said-and he quail

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

BY command of King George Of
England no wines or spirits will be
allowed to be consumed in any of his
majesty's houses.
The question OF drink and its effect
on the work necessary for the prose-
cution of war overshadows everything
else in public interest.
The press and the public favor some
drastic measures, a majority Of the
newspapers expressing the belief that
total prohibition, which would appeal
to all classes, is necessary.
King Georges example and appeal
is said to have had a most remark
able effect at Glasgow. The shipyards
of that city comprise probably the
hardest drinking community In Great
Britain, but after word was received
OF the kings action by concerted
agreement the laborers are reported
to have Stunned the bar-rooms.
Government leaders have stated
that they are considering the question
not from a moral, but from an eco
nomic standpoint. They believe the
country will gain financially by any
movement snppressing the sale OF
liquor. A manufacturer, who is a
student OF the drink problem, says:
IF the public saw the time-sheets OF
industrial concerns engaged In man
ufacturing munitions of war, showing
the contrast between the work done
by teetotalers and drinkers, 1t would
be appalled,. The days lost by drink.
ers reduce their working time on an
average to three full days a week
Britain's drink bill is twice as much
per capita as Americas, four times as
much as Canada's, and far the high
est of any country in the world"

SUDAN GRASS

Sudan grass can now be rec omended as a good general for age crop for practically every Arkansas farm. It is we'll adapt ed to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. After sever- al years test it hasMproved its worth, in North, Central and South Arkansas.
 Sudan grass @produces large yeilis of hay, varying. from two to four tons per acre and some times more. It is similar to the millets in it's ability.to maks large yeilds in short..period of time, but is far better than the mlllets in that it is a! superior hay and can be fed to all Ekinds of live stock. It has much liner stems than theisorghums and IS very easily cured into hay.
 Seed Sudan grass in rows 30 to 36 inches apart andlcultivate occ- assionally during the growing season. Use from three to four pounds of seed perSiacre. The crop is very drouth1resistant. It will make from two to.three cut tings in the northernspart of the state and from three to four in the central part and from four to ] five in the southernepart.
 It resembles Johnson grass very closely, but it does not pos sess the undergronnd.roCt stocks and therefore does not live over winter. It has to be reseeded each year. Since theiseed can not be distinguished from John son grass seed, it is necessary that planting seedabe secured from reliable source. The Kan sas Experiment Station, Manhat- tan. Kansas is offering seed at 50c per pound. Seed can also be secured from the Lubbock Sudan Grass Seed Association, Lubbock Texas, from L. T. Shoemaker, Camden, Ohio, or from George r. Mitchell of Vineland, New Jersey.

Care in Selecting Parent For 1915 Crop Will Mean Better Yield at liar vest-2O Per Cent More.

In buying seed farmers should care fully consider the following points if they expect to get the worth of their money: First, where the seed was grown second. quality of the seed; third, percentage of germination: fourth, percentage Of trash, fifth. purity of seed; sixth, presence and kind Of weed seed
 Seed must become acclimated 10 any particular section before they will produce the best crops This often takes two or three years. It Is always best to buy seed from a neighbor if hs has them with the proper quality and purity. However, it will often be nee essary to resort to the seed houses In that case statement should be se- cured from them stating where the seed was grown For instance, seed Is often shipped in from some distant state for local use, and the farmer may be greatly disappointed with re- vHlts. lt is better 10 use seed grown .ast or west of the locality whore it ia lo De used than those grown considera- A.e distance north or south II takes aalR q teN miles north or south 10
