Example of Diversified Earmina

few weeks ago c. w. Watson. state agent in cooperative extension work received the following interest ing communication from Thomas Bentley, special agent in charge of the farm demonstration work in Greene county:
 "I visited one man this week who was demonstrator in this (Greene) county last year. He has only 50 acres, taking out wood lot. horse and COW lots, garden and other truck patches and 40 acres for field crops. He planted 10 acres i'll cotton. 10 acres in clover, acres in COW peas. Is acres in corn and soy beans with corn and sowed rye in cotton middIes.
 He says the dryer it got last sum. mer the closer he studied demonstra. tion methods Che calls them practicai methods) and the harder he tried to carry them into practice. He sold some corn and hay. He tells me he has kept enough to feed his stock 12 months from date, June 1. He has the usual number of horses, hogs, cattle, and chickens that should go with farm of that size and has never felt the depressing eff fects of the so-called cotton situa tion.'"

MARKETING THE PEACHES
Car Lot Shipments Is Most Practical
 For Arkansas Banner Fruit.

For Arkansas conditions, where the markets are comparatively distant. there is just one way to market peaches successfully on a commercial scale and that Is in car lots. This generally means comparatively, as few growers have enough of any one va riety to make up carlot themselves. Growers in the same community should plant the same variety in or der that they may ripen at the same date. It is almost impossible for a peach grower to i've by himself Therefore, do not expect to go into a community, no matter how we'll the soil and climate are adapted to the culture of peaches. and expect to make a success of five or 10 acres of peaches unless you have good local market Better get few neighbors to go in with you and plant a few acres and market comparatively. Form a local cooperative association, and, if possible. affiliate with a larger cen. tral marketing agency.
 AS for packages, the trade uses the bushel basket and the six-basket crate. Nearly all the markets prefer the bushel lsasket, and therefore, it is, m most cases, the more desirable pack. age.

FIFTY CENTS NETS
 5 BUSHELS OF CORN
Plants Cultivated When Shoulder t1igh-This Produces Extraordinary Yield at Mena Sub-Station.

Fifty cents invested in the cultiva- tion of an acre of corn brought nVe bushels of corn to the Mena Sub-sta' tion of the Arkansas Experiment Sta ton. This was done long after all the neighbors had laid their corn by. The weather was hot and dry and most ot the neighbors thought that after corn was shoulder high it could not be worked, but the Experiment Station experimented. One strip through the field was laid by when the corn was just beginning to tassel out another strip of land side by side that hau always been treated just exactly alike and was planted on the same day ana had been worked every time the other strip had, was cultivated just twice more with the Gee-Whiz cultivator. making one trip through the middle. In the fall when the corn was weigh ed the strip that was laid by carry made 3S bushels of corn to the acre, while that which received two more cultivations during the time the weather was hottest and dryest made 43 bushels to the acre, or an increase of five bushels per acre, due to two cultivations
 Cost of Cultivating.
 The time of a man and one horse is usually valued at S2.00 per day. With one trip through the middle in corn. they can cover about eight acres per day. Therefore, one cultivation will cost about 25 cents per acre, or the two cultivations given by the Experi- ment Station cost fifty cents. Thus 1t was that fifty cents invested in cul- tivation brought he Mena Sub-station of the Arkansas Experiment Station five bushels of corn. In other words the Experiment Station paid only 10 cents per bushel for the increase in yield
 Light, chaffy corn is caused ty drought The effect of drouth Is par ually overcome by cultivation. If you are not convinced of this fact try strip of at least a dozen rows in the middle of your field and give this strip the following treatment:
 Cultivate as soon after each rain as the soil is in good working condition.
 Cultivate from two to three inches deep, never deeper.
 In cultivation keep the soil level and free from ridges.
 During dry weather repeat the cul- tivation every eight or 10 days.
 Continue cultivation in this way un- shucks are about ready to begin to turn brown.

Matter of Superstition.

A third marriage is considered un- lucky in certain parts of India. A fourth marriage is not. So when a man wishes to become a benedict after two previous trials and still evade superstition he evokes very clever scheme. MT. Man of India goes through a ceremony with bird or animal or flower as the bride, in or der that his next wife will be the fourth and not the third venture. Though this may sound ridiculous to many of our American people is 1t any more so than the lengths to which persons in this country will go to avoid the number 13 or ''unlucky days" ard other household bogies?

A lady with an unusually sweet voice is connected with a charitable organ ixation and often sings at funerals In the tenements. At the funeral Of a man who had been killed by falling from a scaffold she was met by a woman who seemed to be in charge. To her the singer said: What do you want me to sing?" "Blest If l know" was the reply. T don't know what the fav'rite of the corpse was and, fallin' from scaffold like he done, he didn't have no chance to pick out piece" Then she thrust her head inside door and said to someone in the room: Do any or you know what the corpses fav'rite hymn was?"

Former Brinkleyite Writes From California

Escondido, Cal, June 30, 1915. Editor ARGUS:
 It has been quite a while since 1 wrote to your paper, but for fear that some of my old friends may think I was killed ir the earthquake which occurred Tn this state several days ago. l want to write and tell them that I was not seriously injured, though some of our people said they felt the quake. <"
 noticed an editorial in the ARGUS concerning the earth quake and also the comment you make about the silence maintain ed by the leading California papers.
 Now, I think you a bit unfair in the statement made in regard to their trying to keep the mat ter a secret. The truth of the matter is, the papers here had quite a bit to say about 1t, as l read several dailies and know they did, but. perhaps 1t was not considered of sufficient inn portance to news agencies to send it out.
 The fact is, California is a great big state and part of 1t may be visited by an earthquake or blizzard and yet in Sunny Southern California the people would live and flowers and sum- shine and remind us of what was doing elsewhere, just the same as they have been doing for the past half century or longer.
 The earthquake to which you referred was felt principally in the northern part of Old Mexico and Imperial Valley, and while several towns were badly shaken up over in the valley, no fatall- ties resulted there. All the deaths occurred on the Mexican side at Mexicali and nearby.
 Now, so far as that earth quake is concerned l don't think it will keep anyone away from the expositions. And, more. l want to say that if anyone has money to spend on a pleasure seeking expedition. l don't be- lieve he can get as much out ot his money on any other trip as he can by visiting the exposi- tions.
 They offer more perhaps than anything else in the past and it is probable that nothing else will occur in years that will offer more that will give pleasure and food, for thought, or that would give one greater insight into what is doing along the line of science, art and labor-saving inventions. If one misses the ex- position he will miss one of the greatest things of his age; and, too, if he has never seen Cali fornia, he will get his moneys full value in that alone.
 All of you come to see us and learn for a certainty that l am telling the truth though it may not be the whole truth for to do that would take up too much space in your valuable paper.
 In conclusion l want to say that lots of people are coming to California and they will re- turn home with a whole head full to talk about for month S to come.
 I took my family over to Oceanside to spend Sunday on the beach and a train of about ten cars passed through on its way to San Diego, while l was at the depot and they were pretty well loaded too.
