Stable Crops for Arkansas and How to Grow Them.
 John H. Page

Cotton is the main staple ervp for Arkansas, and always will be. II is grown successfully and pr0fitahIE in all counties, save seven in thz orth- vest. and extensively glown ia all but eleven. Fruit makes a good staple crop in twelve to fourteen -zt,unties in the northwest. Sweet po- 4atees and peanuts can be made the leading staple crops in eight to ten counties in Southern Arkansas, ii properly handled and properly man. llfactured and cotton relied upon as a secondary staple crop. The staple crop of any community is the one to rely upon to produce the money for the farm, ana from the money crop may be expected the net profits Oil the farm. Neeessar- lily all farm operations should bear relative to the staple or money crop.
 The prime object in farm life is to make q living, and provide the occupants with the necessaries ard comforts of life. and sscondariy to supply the means of education and social advantages the children, and such luxuries as can be afford ed
 By custom and habit, the many farmers subordinate al farm opera tionS to the staple CT money crop. That is wrong. First provide, ts4r as possible. good and comfort s.hle H9me.

JefB II. Page, Commissioner Agriculture.

The farmers waste lots of energy throHs#9tt the summer fighting grass. and buying hay through the winJer. For 20 years ] have watch led the agricultural conditions in this State. and during that period have never seen a surplus Of hay, or ! suffiaieaey of pastures. It takes hard work to kill grass out of q crop. and t takes hard money to buy hay. IL would be a good idea to compromise with the grass To some extent. Turn some Of your poor land into pasture for your work stock. cattle and hogs. Set apart q field and plant it to pasture. Plant it 10 rye, and in the early spring SOW clover, and thus get winter and summer pasture. For every thoasand pounds of live stock pas tured you will get m average of 1900 pounds of manure on the hand every thirty days. Then turn un- der the manure and the green pas ture next fall, before frost, and SOW down in burr clover for q winter pasture, and follow by blowing that under in the spring Then you will have good land made out Of poor land Use enough of your farm that way every year to pasture your stock As q companion to this sys- tenn. groW enough hay crops to make two tons of hay per head for all your cattle and horses. Take good care of il, and bale it In the fall blow under all the green stuff and follow with burr clover, criln- son clover, rye Or vetch for winter pasture, and turn under again in the spring while green. This sys- tenn will give you much better land on which -o grow corn and cotton.
 want to see the farmers with more pastures and bigger hay crops. It will enrich the land, and then it will take fewer acres to make liv- ing. And do not forget our mutual friend, the COW pea. Give 1t space in the corn middles, along the turn rows, and in every waste place. Fight the weeds, but compromise with the grass. Your work stock will thrive and do better if they have a pasture to run on during the night in the work season. The grass they eat will take the place of corn and oats to some extent. and remem- Der that stock, when pastured, are gathering that much Of the crop as it grows. as they need it. leaving the change" on the soil to pay for it.
 Try out this system. You will find that those who do are generally prosperous.

CRESCO, HOWARD COUNTY, FEBRUARY 1915
Ossian Robber Caught.

During the past few weeks several
burglars were committed at Waukon,
Elkader, Postville and Ossian. At the
latter place several burglars were CON-
mitted in rapid succession, and the last
time the Milwaukee station agent was
shot and badly wounded. The case was
puzzling and no clue was found until a
few days ago young man named
George Goudak, aged 10, a former resi-
dent of Castalia, was placed under
arrest at Prairie du Chen for the rob-
berry of diamond ring from the people
with whom he was residing. After his
arrest, a search Of his room revealed a
large amount of jewelry and mer-
chandise which was later identified by
those from whom it was stolen. The
discovery of the plunder resulted in
Goudak's breakdown and confession.
Goudek was released by the Wis.
consin authorities on account OF
insufficient evidence concerning his
alleged offense there, but the Winnie
shiek authorities took him in custody
on requisition papers secured from
Des iMoines, by their deputy sheriff.
The culprit was taken to Decorah on
Wednesday evening.

On January 1st, 1868, he was mar
ried to Mary E. Cheever. He enlist
ed in 1854 in Co. F. 9Th Iowa and
served to the close of the war. He
was in eleven engagements. He re-
ceived a wound at Dallas, Ca, which

A Reinforced Plan

Editor of Plain Dealer:-Since some
of the Council think that my former
suggestion would not make the Stand
Pipe strong enough, l would suggest
one more plan. In addition to the in
side lining. make an outside wall of
reinforced inch wall of concrete
blocks on basement that would be built
as high as the braces of the present
tank run, liquid cement between wall
and stand pipe. have the out and inside
wall connected at top and go as high
as they want to get the necessary
pressure. This would give US tank
that would be more durable than any
elevated tank that they can build for
$40, 900 and at least S.. 900 cheaper. As
you will notice, about all tanks
that have collapsed lately haze been
elevated tanks. so you see they are
short lived, which should be taken into
consideration. 1t could be done in this
way and have upwards of $1,000 of the
money to be applied on our present
debt on the water works.
