TICK ERADICATION

The finest thing in Arkan- sas today is the fine spirit of cooperation in the building of dipping yats and in dipping cattle. The counties that are not in the "eradication dis trict.o are building about as many vats as those that get the medicine free. Now, if every body will keep in good humor and dip cattle regularly we can have the whole state free in two years and then we will have the greatest livestock state in the country. Let us do this without the aid of law enforce ment. Let everybody do it be- cause it will help the neighbor- hood feeling.

CRIMSON CLOVER

Arkansas farmers will plant more peas, beans and peanuts i'll corn this year than ever be- fore. So much for enriching the corn ground and getting feed for pigs and cows. Next we must push for crimson clover in the cotton fields. Let every farmer in Arkansas set his mind on five or more acres of crim- son clover this year or at least one-fourth of this entire cotton acreage. Then it will pay to sow rye or oats in all the rest of the cotton acres for a winter crop. Fifty-nine of the best county agricultural agents in America are working in Ark ansas for winter cover crops and double crops, peas, beans and peanuts in corn and crim- son clover and rye or oats in the cotton and no bare fields next winter.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP 2S,OOO,OOO BUSHELS SHORT

Topka, Kan, May 22.-A prospective yield of 8,000,- 900 bushels of winter wheat in Kansas this year was forecast ed in a report covering condi- tions up to May IF, which was issued today by J. c. Mohler, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. Compared with a similar report issued at this time last year, a depreciation of 28,000,000 is shown. The boards report for April of this year predicted a yield of 126,- 000,000 bushels. The deprecia- tion is attributed to Hessian fly and dry weather.

PROHIBITION LAW
 IS BEING ENFORCED
Has Proven Wholesome Law And No Effort Will be Made Toward Its Repeal.

Little Rock, May 23.-The State-Wide Prohibition Law is being enforced. It has been demonstrated that it truly pro- hibits, notwithstanding the doubts that had been expressed by it's opponents.
 Liquor is still being drunk in the state, but it is shipped in by freight and express. The law does not appear to reach that particular condition, but It is predicted that among the laws first to be introduced will be measures to regulate the shipment and delivery of intox- ieants into the state.
 Little Rock and few other places are considering the question of placing q tax upon liquor shipments. following the
  example set by Birmingham. It is predicted that it would produce a very considerable revenue, that would in meas We offset the loss due to the withdrawal of the saloon li- eense. Up to the present time, however. this has been only speculative, and no city has undertaken to pass an ordin- anee.
 An outstanding feature of the Prohibition law. however is the fact that 1t is being en- forced. The Legislature has clearly declared that it is fel- onF to sell or give away liquor,

ENCOURAGE CLUB
 MEMBERS

Almost TEN THOUSAND
 Arkansas boys and girls sare this year enrolled in one or other club or contest with the EXten- sion Division of the Arkansas College of Agriculture and U. IS. Department of Agriculture. This is fine. It is a great educa- tional movement. The special ists in charge of the work are working hard to keep up the interest and keep the boys and girls in the work until the end but they need assistance of the parents, the bankers, the edi- tors, the women's clubs, the hardware men and everybody. Let everybody who care for the education of the boys and girls lend word of encouragement right now and all through the summer. If these boys and girls can be held to the end and if they will read all the letters and bulletins sent them, it will be worth much in education and in the building of charac- ter. Let everybody do little personal work and help the county agents.

SWAT THE WEEDS
BY ]. H. MILLER

The weeds on Arkansas farms cost the farmers millions of dollars worth of soil fertil- ity. In Canada they have laws against letting many weeds go to seed. The list of bad weeds is so great that the farmer, to be safe, has to swat every weed before it drops its seed. Why not form the habit of killing weeds before the seed ripen? Teach the boys and girls the cost of weeds. Do not wait un- til August to cut weeds but do it NOW Weeds along the road side or in waste patches may seed all the farms in the neigh borhood.
The Newark journal., 1916-05-25

many an acre grows up in weeds because of failure to get these crops in. Why? By harvesting time the wheat or oats land has been tightly pack ed by the winter and spring rains. Much moisture is requir- ed to mature the grain crop and the soil therefore is usually quite hard even when the grain is cut. AS soon as the protec- tive crop is taken off the soil dries very rapidly and is soon too hard to blow.
 REMEDY: At that time of harvesting set shocks in rows and have the disk harrow fol
 low right behind the shockerS
 that day if possible or not lat CT than the next day. The har row breaks the surface crust stops the rapid drying out causes the moisture comingfrom below to stop near the surface, and results in softening the land, which in a few days time or as soon as the shocks can be hauled out will be in good con- dition for breaking or disking again. Seed to cowpeas orearly sOybeans, or either of these and sorghum. Don't wait for rain which may come too late.

OKLAHOMA TOWN IS
 DESTROYED BY STORM
Nine Persons Killed, 38 Injur- ed When Cyclone Strikes Kemp City Saturday Night.

Denison, Tex, May 21.- Nine persons were killed, 38 were injured and Kemp City, Okla, eight miles east of Deni- son, was wiped off the map in the tornado which last night swept path three-quarters of a mile wide and five miles long in the Kemp City section. Of the nine dead, eight were kill ed at Kemp City, and the oth- CT, a child, at it's father home five miles east of Denison. On- ly three small dwellings, remain standing at Kemp City, where the storm spent it's fury.
 The damage togfoWing crops and outhouses throughout the affected area was considerable but only two persons are re- ported to have sustained iniur- les outside of Kemp City. There 12 business houses and so resi- denees were demolished. This is the second tornado to visit that vicinity in recent years.
 The storm broke over Kemp City at 9:23 o'clock last night and in few minutes nothing remained except debris. The bodies of the dead were found in some instances, hundreds of yards from where their homes stood.
 Business men of Kemp City say that in all probability the town will not be rebuilt.

 and the Supreme Court has held that the law means just what 1t says. There have been numerous convictions of boot logging in Garland, Craighead, Jefferson, Greene, Miller, Pike and other counties, and the sentence is one year in each case. The court has no discre- tion, unless it is to assess a longer term. The law makes one year the minimum. At Jonesbor0 nine men were sen- fenced to a year in the peniten- tlary, at one time, and some prominent club men have been given the limit at Hot Springs. There have been a number of indictments in Pulaski and oth- CT counties, and it is expected that the business of bootleg glng will be made sounpopular that fewer will engage in it.
 The records at the state pen itentiafy show that about sev- enty convicts have been receiv- ed already, each with a one year sentence for the illegal sale of liquor. Nearly fifty of these have been received dur ing the last thirty days. Fully three-fourths of them are ne- groes.
 Circuit judges everywhere are instructing juries to see that the law is rigidly enforced and 1t has become as danger ous to sell whiskey or beer sur reptitiously, in violation of the state law, as it has been for several years to violate the fed eral law by selling without a government license.
 The Supreme Court finds that the statewide law repeals all previous laws providing for the punishment of liquor-sell- ing as q misdemeanor. It is al- so ruled that the former laws providing fines for soliciting liquor orders, advertising li- quors in certain counties, and similar acts, are not repealed by the new law, and the pen alties prescribed by the old laws still obtain. In other words all the prohibitory laws are to be construed as cumulative, with the heaviest penalties, that they may be made the most drastic possible.
 The boot-legger and the blind-tiger is having a rocky road to travel, and is awaken ing to realization of the fact that the courts mean business The time for dallying with the gentry has passed.
 There is no more agitation of the question of repeating the statewide act. For some time, it seemed probable that a repeal measure would be in- itiated, but that seems to have subsided. It was receiving very little popular support. Former leaders in the liquor fights that kept the state in a turmoil for years have embarked in other lines of business. Merchants and business men who former ly opposed prohibition on the theory that it would hurt busi- ness" are now convinced of their error and are willing that conditions should continue as they are. Business conditions have improved. Debts are be- ing paid. Those engaged in the saloon business as proprietor or employe are finding more congenial employment else where. In fact, there are very few who would really like to return to the old conditions. Even the revenue question is being settled by the discovery of ot bat, cot1rooc 1,,, ,,o,,s.,
