SWEET CORN.

Why not a patch of sweet corn for every farm? There is hardly thing that will be more keenly en- joyed by all the family than few 'messes' of sweet corn. Plant a square 20 by 90 feet, and then plant another similar square every two weeks until June, or four plantings. Get the seed bed just right, plant three grains to hill,

Better Farming Hints.
CROPS

ana soy beans, corn ana peanuts. corn and velvet beans, cotton and crimson clover, will be a great combination this year. Plant rape after the last cultivation of corn What a combination for hogs. corr and peanuts and corn and rape with hogs running to both patches or fields. It may not make real hard meat but 1t will make cheap meat. Let US make a great cam paign this year for peas, soy beans and peanuts in every acre of corn and then crimson clover or rye in every acre of cotton.
 SANE FARMING.
 Why not adopt the above name instead of safe fafming9" A farmer who has even a small part of Gods earth that will produce food ought not to gamble" on the  chance of making money on anoth- CT crop to buy food for his stock and his family. l. is a species of insanity that has passed over the whole South and parts of the West and comparative poverty is the re-. suit. Let us raise more stuff for food and feed and be sane and loyal to family and community.
 A STAYING MANUAL.
 The Extension Division of the College of Agriculture, cooperating with the U. s. Department of Agri- culture, has published a handy lit tie spraying manual for orchardsts and gardners. It will be sent free to anyone interested who will write either to the Little Rock office Or to the Fayetteville office. It tells what to spray for, when to spray ana now Lo spray.
 MORE COW FEED.
 Arkansas farms do not have enough COWS and the COWS do net give enough milk, partly because they do not get enough of the right kind of feed. A milk COW that is an easy keeper is not profitable. A mill to produce much flour must have much wheat and less wheat means less four. Just so. less feed for the COW will mean less milk. Let us have more COWS and then feed them more. Plant su- dan grass, eowpeas, soy beans and peanuts and then plan for little cotton seed meal. More feed, more milk.
 FREE BULLETINES.
 Here are few Arkansas and government bulletins that should be of interest at this time: Home made Silos, Sorghum for For age," "Cowpeas, 'Lespedeza, . Home Vegetable Garden, /" "Poul- try Management. Spraying Man ual. These will be sent free to anyone on request to Director of the Extension Service, University of Arkansas, U. s. Department of Agriculture, cooperating, old state house, Little Rock, Ark.
 PERMANENT PASTURES.
 No Arkansas farm should be without permanent pasture. Don't wait. Fence off two or three or more acres, depending upon the size of the farm, blow deep, work well and plant Bermu- da, using both the root and seed method and little white clover In August SOW bur clover, and next February lespedeza may be added. Every farmer who wants to do this should call on the county agent, if one, or the state demonstration agent at Little Rock for bulletins and suggestions for making good pasture.

 Why not patch of sweet corn for every farm? There is hardly thing that will be more keenly en- joyed by all the family than few 'messes" of sweet corn. Plant a square 20 by 90 feet, and then plant another similar square every

Penns Grove Missionaries

Last Sunday morning II. L. Stephens
said it would be creditable to have per-
from Penns Grove to go as mission
aries to foreign countries. Only q few
old residents know that two natives of
Penns Grove have been foreign mission
aries for many years.
Rev. William H. Stephens, while a
student at Pennington Seminary, in 1879,
wen with other young men to Bombay,
India, under Rev. William Taylor, later
Missionary Bishop to Africa. He is
there yet, unless he died the last few
years. His father, William H. Steph-
ems, lies buried in Emmanuel church
yard. He died in September, 1852, after
enlisting in the army, before he got to the
front.
Rev. William 81. Stephens mother be-
came the first wife of Amos r. Allo-
way, whom many old citizens remember.
DR.. William s. Vanneman, another ma
tive of Penns Grove, has been a medical
missionary at Tabriz, Persia, for twenty
five years, during which time modern
Christian civilization has been greatly
advanced in sight of Mount Ararat,
where Noah's Ark was launched.
The great European war has cut off
travel to Taboriz so that Mrs. Vanneman
could not return as she expected to do
more than a year ago, after coming to
America to assist their daughters at their
graduation from Vassar College two years
ago. f%8

A FATAL EXPLOSION
GlbbStOWn'S Accident The Worst
Ever There In Many Years

Shortly before noon last Monday a
powder fash at the Repaupo chemical
plant of the dupont Company, near
Gibbstown, killed thirteen men and in
jured a score. Four buildings were des-
troyed. The list of dead are as follows I:
leon Wilson, % years, sGibbstown.
George Marsh, % years, foreman of
building that exploded, Paulsboro.
Robert Gatten, % years, Paulsboro.

Harry Lippineott, 40 years, Paulsboro.
Louis Cheyney, AZ years, Paulsboro.
Bernard Keller, 4 years, Paulsboro.
Frank Bomicci, % years, laborer,
Paulsboro.
There were between 20 and 80 men
slightly injured by flying debris, who
were treated by the %company's physi-
clans at the plant. Others more seri-
ously injured were taken to Cooper
Hospital, Camden, in company automo-
biles. Those at the hospital who will re-
cover, are:
Charles e. Heritage, Woodbury. brok-

wounds on foot.
NEW HIGH EXPLOSIVE FLASHED.
According to the official statement the
disaster occurred in what is known as
the trinitrotoluol nitrating house, and
the fash communicated to the nitro
benzol house. Both buildings were of
frame construction and the debris took
fire. The explosion wrecked two brick
buildings used in the manufacture of
hexite, about go feet away, shattered win
dows in many other buildings within the
30OO-acre Enclosure and Jared the ground
so severely that the shock was felt
throughout South Jersey and in Della
ware, Philadelphia and adjacent portions
of Pennsylvania.
This branch of the Gibbstown plant
is not considered one of the most dan
gerous from an explosive standpoint, but
the buildings were remote enough from
the rest of the plant to limit the damage
to the restricted area.
The explosion was heard for miles and
was the worst in twenty-five years when
Lamont, the father of Pierre s. DUPONT,
was killed.

The United Christian Efforts And
Grand Chorus Choir Singing
InStlllS New Spirit

The six weeks religious campaign in
the tabernacle erected by the Penns
Grove Camp Meeting Association closed
last Sunday with large audiences both
morning and evening. In the morning
II. l.. Stephens preached a missionary
sermon from the text, Come over into
Macedonia and help us" He told of the
Importance of missionaries going to In
dia, Africa and South America. Much
emotion was around when three young
women arose on the platform and one
young man and expressed a willingness
to enter Christian work. Enthusiasm
was also aroused by about forty coming
forward and expressed a willingness to
do all they could in Cody work.
In the evening Mr.. Stephens preached
on Heaven" He said it was a place
as well as a condition. 1t pays to be a
Christian even though there be no here
after. 1t is a place of purity, with no
sickness, no pain, no death.
CHRISTIAN MEMS LEAGUE.
At the close of the evening service a
Christian Mems League was organized
with the following officers:
President-Charles Bierne.
Vice-President-Henry J.. Blohm.
Secretary-W. ID. Snyder.
Treasurer-Dayid A. English.
/ MUCH GOOD DONE.
The six weeks religious campaign I'M
der the leadership of the S~tephens-Storr
party was the first united evangelistic
crusade ever held in Penns Grove, and
the largest since the old-fashioned camp
meetings were held in woods near Penns
Grove thirty-six years ago. The united
efforts of all the evangelical churches
here is an instance of what is going on all
over the world for united efforts to adj
vance Christianity by the Installing of
the God-spirit in the individual life, so
that will act through persons on the So
cial and civic life. Creeds and dogmas
are crumbling and the austere exclusive
ness of the ~clOister without the emotion
alism of the age is not attracting the
masses.
Some hundreds were quickened in their
good spirit to renewed efforts, and hun
dreds were imbued with the spirit of
Goodness to cut the old and put on a
new record in their tone and tune of
life. just how many has not definitely
been recorded. The fact that there was
a religious campaign on had a restrain
ing effect on worldiness, as all religious
efforts do have.
As to means and methods there are
always differences of opinions. What is
chaff and stubble to many who desire
finer food, touches and irritates the souls
of some who become nauseated TO the
coarseness they have lived on.
The chorus choir singing was grand
and the new songs recorded in the minds
of many will be joys to the souls who
repeat them for years, when vulgar
brain records would be degrading in SEN
timent, spirit and life.
CHURCH SERVICES RESUMED.
The, Sunday services in the churches
have been suspended during the evange-
lican campaign. but will be resumed on
Sunday at the usual hours.
