DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
 EARLY.

Just as surely as Christmas comes once a year, so also comes it's fore runner, the humanitarian slogan, Do your Christmas shopping carly"
 The reason for early Christmas shopping has been evident to all since attention first was called to the desir- ability of making early purchases of Christmas wares. Each year since then has seen lessened the great rush of business in the last hours of the holiday period.
 Yet were we to trust to habit to se- cure the observance of those humani- tartan principles that inspired the shop early" propaganda, it is certain almost that few years would see the return to the previous rush and jam and the entire destruction of the points of benefit so hardly won.
 Wherefore it behooves newspapers, magazines, merchants and all inter- ested in the quick dispatch of business and the promotion of the welfare of shop employees to urge those who would benefit most by early shopping to do early shopping and obtain that benefit to themselves, as we'll as pro- Vide means of relief for the shop girl.
 With Christmas a little more than one month away, it is quite proper mus to instruct those who otherwise might not do their Christmas shop png early."-Arkansas Democrat. Norris Exquisite Candies. Fresh @ipment at Guthries.

SIXTEEN AGGY COURSES

etteyille little booklets are being

RESPONDENCE COURSES IN
AGRlCULTURE. They describe
sixteen different courses that any
citizen Of Arkansas may take with
out any charge except the cost price
OF the texts used.
Few people are too busy 10 take
one Of these courses. They answer
the same questions that are being
sent to the College every day ~
dozens Of letters from everywhere
They answer thousands more thar
should be asked.
Few farmers know all about the
principles OF soil building, Of crol
growing, Of stock feeding, Of ferti.
lzing, Of gardening or fruit grow
ing, poultry keeping, dairylng
breeding, or OF livestock disease,
Few Of the many teachers trying tC
teach agriculture know these thng'
of the last word about school ground
Improvement, iarm arithmetic, and
home sanitation. The boys aud
girls of the poultry and pig club'
want to know the hnsiness they ar,
following. Their teachers can helI
them.
These courses have been arranged
to meet Arkansas needs. They are
inst what the farmer is looking fol
in beginning 10 diversity. Fifty
people are already taking their

GOOD BREEDING STOCK
MARKET FOR fEtD CROP

Let us remember that the best
way in the world.to market the feed
crops We are gong TO raise next
summer is TO have stock to consume
them. The stock are always
ready sale ON the market and when
finished represent the value Of tho
crops fed in a greatly condensed
torn. On market day they will
carry themselves to the railroad
depot. When they so they leave
most ol the feruIzing value Of the
feeds fed back on the farm where
il belongs,
But how about the stock 20 feed
the crops to: II costs something to
hold aud feed breeding stock bat
we can't afford to let them 90 of

Diversified Farming

Editor Star Herald.
wish to dot a few lines on Dl-
versihed Farming.
We live in the North frazzle.edge
of cotton belt and as a people we
are growing cotton to our ruin. We
grow but few cotton crops that pay
US in full for the amount Of labor
aud rent for our land. While we
have made cereals a patch instead
OF a crop. Now brother farmer the
best thing for us to do Is to grow
more cerals and less cotton. We
can grow hay in our country and
save buying thousands Of dollars
worth of stuff each year.
Soy beans are as profitable as cot
ton. You can use them in any way
either for hay or gram and as grain
they are rich and will fat stock tas-
ter than any other crop except cow
peas. while they will equal peas.
While they are later than peas, still
they wont rot from early fall rams,
as peas will, neither will they grow
out or sprout as peas will, for they
are later in ripening.
Peanuts are another crop that
will be a money crop any year for
they are good for hay or fruit and
if the fruit is cheaper than you wish
TO sell at, pasture with hogs and you
will have money in the crop.
Now back to corn. Did you ever
see farmer with to much corn?
/ suppose you have seen men with
too much cotton, for they could not
sell 1t neither could they feed 1t,
aud all they could do was to look at
it, and then, oh! what a sad thought
l wish / hadn't. United States
compare the conditions Of Arkansas
and Missouri. One a cotton State
the other grain state. Now south
Missouri was caught about as hard
il not harder than we were Tor their
land is higher up the Mountain and
more gravely than ours if any DIFF
ference.
While Missouri as state has
money and we as a cotton state, no
money, for the simple tact our crop
ping system of cotton with the cere
ais in a patch, not a field, while the
Missourian has his cereals in fields
and but very few cotton patches.
Now brother farmer the time is
near at hand for us TO think and
think deep aud serious Of our own
conditions and find a new crop for
money, not an old cotton crop.
This Is a new year and We should
resolve, resolve, resolve and never
turn back to cotton farming.

What Red Clay Did

In a letter TO the Director of the
Arkansas Experiment Station at
Fayetteville, w. II. Trull OF Hills
boro. Union county, says:
al wish to give you my experl.
ence with subsoilng a small plot Of
worn out hull side red clay, sub-soil
land, twelve by forty yards, from
which, on October 3O'h, | gathered
forty bushels Of Nancy Hall sweet
potatoes.
"The actual measurement Of tins
plat is little less than one tenth Of
an acre. In March OF l9l4It was
subsolled each way with a two-horse
subsoil plow at an average depth Of
twelve inches. In April this plat
was planted to Irish potatoes, using
1--WE bushels of green cotton seed as
fertilizer.
"The deep breakinA and trans.
planting on fiat beds then giving
shallow cultivation will produce
better paying potato crops. The
deep breaking system is the best
paying investment for the farmer" "

HAYS on Prohibition


Friends of prohibition in Arkan'
sas are much pleased with the fol-
loving statements made by Cover
nor Hays in the course of hls ad
dress to the legislature last week:
1.-The liquor question is one that
Is not only attracting the attention
Of the citizenship Of Arkansas but
Of the entire nation. This question
is serious one. II has played its
part the result Of which Is apparent
10 everyone, and Its day is doomed
in our entire country. Ii has cor
rupted in a measure the politics Of
the country and legislation. Tae
evil effec, OF this traffic cannot be
told IN words. 1t has ruined and
destroyed manhood, brought power
ty to homes. has caused many heart
aches and done more TO discredit,
disorganize aud retard the moral
uplift of manhood than all other
evils combined. An investigation
Of the record Of those who are con
fined in our state prisons, those who
are condemned TO die in the electric
chair or those convicted of any 9th
er crime, will disclose the fact that
the greater per cent of such crimes
resulted from the use Of intoxicating
liquors. You will also find that this
one evil Is responsible for a large
per cent Of these who are confined IN
the institutions Of nervous diseases.
The liquor traffic is absolutely non
productive except of dissipation.
IL produces no wealth except
TO the few who are engaged
in the traffic. 1t does not induce
immigration or capital to come to
our state. The sale of same
amounts 90 the few dollars revenue
paid by those as a privilege to en-
gage IN this business. On the other
hand, the millions OF dollars spent
in this manner can hardly be esti-
mSted which, if spent in more legl-
innate and moral channels, would
raise the standard Of our citizenship,
give a greater and nobler people,
enoble many to provide better for
their families in the way Of food,
clothing and to better educate their
children and make happier homes.
II would recommend, IN view Of
all these conditions, that YOU enact
such legislation as will submit
this question to the voters Of the
state at the general election to be
held in 1916. This will be four
years since the question has been
submitted. Should YOU do this /
will give same my official approval.
"Iu the event that you should not
pass such bill, ! would recon-
mend that you amend what is
known as the Gong act, so that the
license for the sale of intoxicating
liquore could be obtained only in
towns and cities of over one thous-
and white adult inhabitants, and,
also, amend same IN such way as
will eliminate the enormous amount
Of interminable litigation"
