 For thirty-fve consecutive years if has been the unbroken custom, of the writer, to attend every political meet ing that has been held in this part of Arkansas, and we are frank to say that we never before last Friday. saw any one man, receive so strong-such universal-endorsement for a public office, by his home people, as did Mr. McRae on that day. That the people of Prescott, and all the surrounding communities, regardless of age. sex. or even, political faith, truly appre- ciate, the useful, upright, manly. christian life that Mr. McRae has lived among them, was manifest in unmis- takable terms, by spontaneous out burst of enthusiastic applause, when he appeared upon the rostrum to make his announcement.
 His address, of approximately two hours duration, was indeed a master piece-easily ranking any political speech it has been our privilege to hear, in Arkansas. It covered every phase of the present political situation without personal reference to or re- f1ection upon, any individual, though, it was suggestive of logical solutions, reasonable remedies for every exist ing evil.
 We wish that every voter in Arkan- sas could hear it, and every one who gets this rag, shall have the privilege of reading it.-Okolona Messenger.

THE DEATH OF A GREAT NAT
 URALIST

URALIST
 Henri Fabre has just died at his home in France. Only toward the close of his long, laborious life had the careless world begun to realize that in this unpretentious son of pheasants, waging a heartbreaking struggle against grinding poverty and humlllating neglect, it had been ignor- Ing unique genius. For this long failure to obtain fitting recognition there were many reasons. Fabre DOS sessed none of the arts of the self-ad- vertser. Entomology, when he em- oraced 1t as a career, was a neglected science, and the phase of it to which he lntultively turned, the study of in stlnct, was especially neglected. Then too, though versed in several sciences. Fabre was impatient of book-lore in hls own field and refused to bow to theories of the day, preferring to in- terrogate Nature alone. Finally. if may be that even his delightful prose. with flashes of fancy and quaint hu- nor, inspired in the Gradgrinds of science certain distrust. This dis trust, if it existed, Fabre was at no pains to allay, for he declared that he hated the barbarous jargon which made science so thorny and repellant to the young. In his youth Fabre felt strong incliation, says The Journal ot the American Medical Association, he surely would have made notable contributions to medical science. As Legros says, he had in high degree that gift, properly speaking poetic, which IS known as the clinical eye, which at first glance perceives and confirms the diagnosis in all it's de- tail" He also had the gift of untir- ing observation, the thirst for know ledge, the capacity for unlimited work and the Illuminating imagination which mark the scientific discoverer. Yet we can scarcely reproach the fate which gave his facilities their own peculiar trend. Darwin styled him "the inimitable observer"; Maeter- linck called him lone of the most pro found and inventive scholars :. one of the purest writers, and :. one of the finest poets of the century that is just past; Edmond Rostand characterized him as this great scientist, who thinks as a philosopher, sees as an artist, and feels and ex- presses himself a a poet"

 The condition of the soil affecting the ease with which it may be worked IS called tilth. By good tilth' is meant friableness. By "poor tilth' is meant a cloddy or compact condition, Filth depends largely upon the amount of humus or vegetable matter soil contains and upon the water content of the soil at the time of working.

The Most Poplar Pasture Grass

Farm and Preside says:
 Kentucky blue grass, sometimes called June grass, is the most popular pasture grass of the United States. Here are is principal good points:
 Ut is a hardy perennial and requires no seeding. If not pastured it grows thick and close, and in time will drive out weeds and other grasses.
 Ut is also excellent for yards and lawns. Though it wits quite readily during drought, it seldom dies, and revives quickly after the rain. It has a long growing season, being one of the first to appear in spring and the last to dry up in the fall"

PLANT sPUDs ON DRY LAND
Method is About Same as With Corn
Have Seed In Rows Three Feet.
Six inches Apart.

The method of planting is usually
about the same as that for corn. The
whole seed is placed about twenty
inches apart in the row and the rows
three feet six inches apart. They are
covered to a depth OF from two and
one-half to four inches The rows are
narrowed crosswise after planting and
this narrowing or tickling is kept up
for ten days or so, or until the plants
are too large. then the cultivator is
used the remainder of the season. The
purpose Of this narrowing and cultiva.
ton Is to prevent the evaporation OF
moisture and to destroy the weeds.
Some farmers advocate the cultivating
every ten days. or as often as the con.
dition OF the soil permits. In our dry
land region the surface OF the soil
should never become crusted.
Potatoes handled in this way nearly
always produce favorable crop. How.
ever, there may be a few factors that
will interfere with the production of a
good crop. In nearly all parts of the
West the potato beetle causes a great
deal of damage. No one need expert
ence much difficulty with this bug II
rigid process of spraying is followed
The vines are sprayed with solution
OF paris green, in the proportion of one
pound to twenty gallons Of water. This
will treat a large area of the potetoes
In the application OF this soln,icu We
should never place 1t upon the vince
when there is danger OF rain tut ts
should be applied early in the morning
of some bright. clear day. Two or
three crops of potatoes can be raised
upon the same land in succession II
care is used in the method of soil
preparation and in seed selection

most expensive and the most neces.
sary Of all plant foods.
8. 1t contains the food upon which
the soil organisms live, whose func.
tion is to convert organic nitrogen

rally assists in decomposing the min
eral constituents of the soil, such as
potash and phosphoric acid. max.
ing them available for the use OF
plants.
a. II increases the power of the soil
to hold water without becoming water
logged.
5. II makes clay soil more open and
friable. 1t also serves to compact
sandy soil and increases its drought
resisting power.
6. II prevents washing to great ex.
tent, thereby diminishing the loss OF
fertility by that cause.
Z. Soil filled with humus more read
lily admits the air so necessary to all
useful plant growth.
8. There appears to be a distinct
relationship between the amount OF
humus in the soil and the amount OF
available nitrogen therein. 1t has also
been observed that as humus disap-
pears from the soil there is distinct
reduction Of the ability of that soil
to grow crops. Hence in practice In
order to obtain the best crops we have
to resort TO barnyard manure and the
turning under of vegetable matter
rather than the use of concentrated
fertilizers.

The spanlard In Mexico.

When Cortez landed at Vera Cruz
and in honor of the day being Good
Friday" gave the place the sacred
name, he set the style of Mexico for
the land to be called after saints and
sacred things rather than people The
glory of the spirit of Crusader ap-
pealed more to him than perpetuating
his own name as the cognomen OF
country. Following in the wake of
this warlike Spaniard came troops OF
friars, some of them pious and truly
noble, while others were no more hu-
man than the average type of men Of
that day and generation. A Catholic
priest, Hidalgo, occupies prominent
place in the calendar of the country's
liberators; while dreams and visions
actuated others to explore the country
and set up the cross.

The best seed is large fine potatoes.
Occasionally small potatoes may be
used but in buying them II is impossi
BILE to tell how many generations OF
small potatoes are at the back OF
them.
II would do no harm to plant small
potatoes from good crop OF large
ones. but the continued selection Of
small sizes for two or three genera
tions would tend to reduce the aver.
age size throughout the crop.
The potato crop is made by deep

have made their growth.
An acre of potatoes in growing has
to move out of place from five to ten
tons OF earth to make room for the
tubers and the more friable the soil
the easier the work, the less material
converted into energy. and the larger
the potatoes.
Sod land deeply plowed and prop
