CULTIVATE BERRY PATCHES.

Special to The star
 As soon as the berry crop has been harvested the ground should be stirred in order to destroy all grasses and weeds and to conserve the soil moisture that is so much needed during the dry weather of summer, says J. S Knox, specialist in horticulture for the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture. The cultivation probably should not be done to a greater depth than 2la or 3 inches, but should be kept up at intervals of ten days or two weeks until the summer is nearly over. IL is very noticeable that the fields kept we'll stirred and free from weeds with stand the dry weather better and carry the plants over the winter better than those where the culti- walton is not done Keep the rum ners confined fairly well to the row. Those in the middle should be de- stroyed unless one wishes to make a new row in the middle and remove the old row.
 If stable manure is available, it may be spread broadcast over the field at the last cultivation This will give it plenty Of time to decay and be ready for the next springs crop of berries. Farmers are wrong when they think any kind of soil can be used for berries. Rich soil is by far the best The berries grow larger, are more attractive and sell better than those grown in poorer soils. Poor soil is not fit for straw berry growing

TnAT RAILRoAp scHo0L IN.

A correspondent writes The star asking for information concerning impending legislation" hearing on the apportioning of the railroad taxes among the schools"
 This is subject that has been much discussed, but there is no "im- pending legislation at this time so far as known
 It Is but natural that those school districts in our county, and in other counties. not now located so as 10 benefit from the school taxes paid by the railroads, feel that they would like to share in it. And there are some good arguments often pre- sented showing the justice of such a division but no definite, workable plan has ever been put into effect SO far as casual investigation has de- veloped
 6oing a little further into the mat ter, is is equally true, probably, that there are counties, as we'll as school districts. that have little or no raiI- road mileage to tax, and these soun- ties. seeing their neighbors reyeling in the extra money and prosperity, feel that they would like to share in 1t, not only in the school tax, but the general tax as well,
 For the non-railroad school dis triets to share in the railroad tax, it would first be necessary to establish satisfactory basis for distribution, whether by township, county or state. This has been tried in other states, but no workable plan has, 50 far as here known, been put into ef- feet and the school districts through which railroads pass continue to re- ceive the much-coveted financial ad- vantage.

William II. Taft declares that the time has not yet arrived when force as an aid to a moral impulse can be dispensed with He then goes on to assert that we need police force at home, and the same need exists in the relations between nations And that seems to exactly answer those people who. at this time. seem de- ternined that the United States shall not be armed or prepared to meet a foe that may come, but shall depend wholly on moral suasion to keep the enemy away, When the powerful nations of the world join in main taining police force to see that all fellows are kept in check, then, and the quarrelsome or troublesome not before, can any such country as the United States dispense with guns and armies and battle ships.

of the Roman Empire The Roman roads still stand. More than that, they defy the ravaees Of modern traffic as strikingiy as they Geiied the wear Of nearly 2,000 years
 Since then we have constructed thoroughfares that were baptized with the name of roads, but the trouble has been to make them stay good.
 Most of our roads start out with such adjectives before them as smooth and good but readily reach the point where the reckless Of speech apply other adjectives to them
 Now listen to what good road builder has to say:
 That the concrete roads are com ing is no longer 8 prediction but an established fact. As with all new and expensive projects. we have been afraid to venture and guailed at the thought of the necessary ex- pense of building these roads, but our ideas are changing and we are getting the spirit of the times in road building as in all other things, II will only be a question ol a few years until every highway of any importance whatever will be con- creted.H
 The main highways are not show ing ID well under heavy traffic. Those in Scott county have been distinguished by high maintainance costs, and much of the time it looks as if there is little worth while to maintain.
 Concrete roads are the nearest ap- proach 10 Roman roads that we know of. And if any of the Roman emperors could come back-just for few minutes-he would admit that the roads he and his sort put down nearly 2,000 years ago, though they cost considerable at the time, have been dirt cheap in the long run Scott County Record.
