STATE POLITICS DISCUSSED
Hodges for Governor and Beesou for Sec,
retary of State. Address Large Crowd
Monday Night

A large and representative crowd
were gathered at the Court House
Monday evening to listen to the az
dress of Earl w. Hodges, candidate fof
governor, and Virgil Beeson, candidate
for secretary of state. The Harrison
MiGsrrR&uBuRs Cos eysTal N,s Sa.s s'lrr,hs alIlS
general spirit of good humor and ap
probation seemed to prevail. Botf
speakers were literally applauded, anC
both evidently added to their lists o.
friends and supporters here.
Hon. J. Sam Rowland was elected
chairman, and in cordial and compli-
mentary terms introduced the speak
ers.
Mr.. Beeson spoke but a short time,
but he carries with him the air of a
man who not only is efficient and
thoroughly wide awake, but one who
may be trusted implicitly to render
honorable service under all conditions
He represented his county in the last
legislature with conspicuous ability,
and will bring to the Office of Secretary
of State a fine spirit of ambition for
the bettermentof Arkansas mall lines.
| Hon. Earle w. Hodges announced
at the beginning of his speech that he
is an optimist, looking altogether on
the bright side of life, and proved this
statement by the good humor Of even
his assailment of his opponents. That
the crowd enjoyed his two hours talk
was evidenced by their frequent laugh
ter and applause.
He outlined his platform at length,
announcing that he stood earnestly for
the enforcement of the statewide pro-
bibitory law as well as all other laws
of the state. Would favor a pardon
board to consider deeply all pardons,
and a primary election law, such as
recommended by the last state demo-
cratic convention, to DO away with all
machine politics. Would push the
payment of Confederate pensions in
full, and such a policy Of economy as
could easily bring the state out of
debt, without bond issue, within the
next two years.
His defense of his refusal to allow an
investigation Of his office by corrupt
IegiSlasive committee was full of detail
new to his listeners and clearedup any
suspicion which might have been
aroused by former criticism.
As a humorous close to his remarks
Mr.. Hodges took up the policies of his
opponents and not only held a num-
Der of their ideas up in manner to
provoke the beartiest laughter, but
layed them with a ridicule cutting in
the extreme. He admitted that DR..
Brough is a nice, clean, polite gentle

OBSERVE BABY WEEK.

A few extracts from Mrs. Moore's
letter published in last Sundays Ga
zette.
With these trained women in charge
it is not surprising the splendid en-
thusiasm in the plans from so many
places. The country child has been or
Mrs. Garrison's heart, and as far as
our means would allow she has sent
her message directly to the mothers in
rural communities. In all the plans

most effective and original The board
of health and other organizations will
post every cross road, every country
store-in fact the whole state-with
red and green placards giving some
information about the care of babies.

lesson of cooperation faster than most
southern states. In many places,
notably Little Rock, the civic work is
being managed by men. Wherever
men and women work together the
work is quadrupled.
The invitation to Memphis was
given by Miss Murphy of the diversi-

the streets with them" And yet these
men are guiding his campaign, writing

PROBABLY the largest land descrip-
ton ever published in an Arkansas
newspaper appears in the Times this
week. 1t covers over 10000 acres
and is the official announcement OF
the government of the elimination
from the Ozark Forest and opening to
homesteaders of this large area of
land 1t is scattered over ten cOun-
ties and includes some of the rough
est land in all this mountainous Sec
ton. However, W. +. Eatman, re-
ceiver at the land Office here says
there is wide interest in this lard
and that he is receiving from 40 to 80
letters a day from those interested
For the past week his Office force has
been busy on township plats defining
the area in each county. Receiver
Eatman says the land will not last long
Each year sees the public domain in
Arkansas getting smaller, and during
the past year homestead entries have
been greater than ever. The class of
land being homesteaded is getting
poorer, but strange to say the inter
est in government lands is much
greater than ever before.

PROFITABLE TO PRODUCE HAY
southern Farmer Can Raise Feed for sio to SIS Per Ton-Why Pay
 hortherner Bigger Priee7

Folks Ike bargains. If they can buy at cost they will often go tc town and load up with things they do not need just because they are cheap, If the merchant placards his goods at cost he has no trouble in selling his stock and a great many farmers take advantage of the great sacrifice that must be made in 30 days"
 It Is funny that there are so many who never think of selling themselves something at cost. Take hay for in. stance. Suppose that northern hay is selling for s20 ton. Suppose again that the Florida farmer can produce q ton of hay for s10 to s15. He could sell himself that hay at cost and keen the difference, which he would have to pay for northern hay, in his pocket That five or ten dollars is worth say. ing. It Is probable also that the profit would be greater since the price of northern hay is usually higher than s20 and hay probably can be produced in Florida cheaper than s10 a ton.- Florida Experiment Station.

The Boys Handicap.

Prof. A. 5. Alexander declares that a defect in a horses veins will take five generations of better breeding to correct. He makes the effect of he reaity upon horses so plain that we and ourselves applying 1t to men.
 Horse breeders have come 10 under stand this terrible handicap in their efforts to obtain perfect specimens of animals, but parents have not taken the lesson to heart
 If horse has Regeneration struggle 10 get even for one single mis- take nature makes, how much more bitter the struggle of boy to over come the mistakes with the added Ignorance of indifferent or criminal parents?
 The effect of heredity upon the men tal. physical and moral nature of boys ,s certainly worth as much study and interest as upon animals, but there Is yet much to be done. Let us hope tha. when we have learned how to breed perfect horses we may turn our attention toward creating a better in duence upon the lives of boys and men.-C. '. Miller.

tBy A DOANE, Oklahoma Experiment
 StationD
 Alfalfa seed Is rarely ever grown commercially except in semiarid reg Ions It is difficult to grow this crop for seed in the humid sections. About half of the seed produced in the United States is grown on irrigated lands in regions of dry summers. Rain or mois- ture from irrigation after the alfalfa plants are in bloom has tendency to stimulate new growth from the crown. This greatly reduces the yield. When a seed crop is desired irrigation is withheld until the seed has been har- vested. Usually the second crop of alfal- fa is allowed to produce seed. However. in the Southwestern states the third crop is often preferred for seed. while in the Eastern and Northern states 1t is necessary that the first crops be used for seed production.
 Various factors affect the amount of seed that the alfalfa plants produce. such as thickness of stand, moisture supply and conditions favorable for tripping. The heat of the sun often
