THE IDEAL CITY.
A Vision Of What May Perhaps Com.
to Pass In the Future.

10 TdsS IN tne Future.
A city, sanitary, convenient, substan.
tial; where the houses of the rich and
the poor are alike comfortable and
beautiful; where the streets are clean
and the sky line is clear as country
air; where the architectural excellence
Of its buildings adds beauty and dig.
nifty to its streets; where parks and
Fairgrounds are within the reach OF
every child; where living Is pleasant
toll honorable and recreation plentiful
where capital is respected. but not
worshiped; where commerce in goods
is great, but not greater than the in
tercbange Of ideas; where industry
thrives and brings prosperity alike tC
employer and employed, where educa
ton and art have place in every
home; where worth and not wealth
give standing to men; where the power
Of character lifts men to leadership
where interest In public affairs Is o
test Of citizenship and devotion to the
public veal is badge Of honor; where
government IL always honest and eth
cient and the principles Of democracy
find their fullest and truest expression
where the people Of all the earth car

South Arkansas. In the north and
northwest section orchard grass is che
surest grass and should generally be
the basis Of permanent pasture or
meadow. Orchard grass is superior
to timothy because II is adapted to a
larger variety of soils, is not so hard
on soil, furnishes superior pasture
and more nutritious hay, and rip,
ems at the same time as red clover.
For pasture, along with the orchard
grass, Kentucky blue grass should
be seeded on soils that are rich in
lime, and red top on soils that are
short In lime. Red and white clover
should also be put into the mixture
For a meadow orchard grass and red
clover make a good mixture. On the
bottom soils OF the south and south.
east portions Of the state, Bermuda
should usually be made the basis of
permanent pasture or meadow The
disadvantage Of Bermuda not being
green for pasture during winter can
be remedied by putting bur clover on
the sod or by having a second pasture.
The following characteristics and
adaptations should be noted in regard
to the grasses. Orchard grass and
Kentucky grass grow extra we'll in
the shade. while Bermuda will be
killed out with excessive shade. Ken.
tucky blue grass does well only on
the lime soils in the cooler part Of
the state; IN other sections the hot,
dry weather OF summer kills it. Or.

II should be accepted as a funda.
mental principle that successful aErt.
culture in Arkansas must be based on
the growing or more livestock on
every farm and that success with

permanent pastures. Thsrefore .
great campaign should be undertaken
this year for more clovers and

no permanent pastures should be
pledged to start this spring at least
three to fve acres OF permanent pas.

June OF his visit
Now, entering the room, she saw
