BOIL wEEvM TO COME AGAIN.
Early Cotton and Fewer Acres ts
 the Mule, the Slogan.

There is every reason to believe that the coming year will be heavy weeyil year, says Geo. G. Becker, of the Chronological Department of the College of Agriculture. The abun- dance of rain last summer gave the weevils ideal conditions for breeding and conditions last winter were fa- vorable for Information. The cotton |crop must be made early as possible this year. The bolls must be set and hardened before the weevils become numerous, if We are to get crop at all
 Good seed and a good early ma turing variety should be selected. Ordinary gin run in undependable and all seed should have been tested for it's vigor and germination. To give your good seed it's best chance, prepare the seed bed thoroughly, break the ground deep and pulver- ize finely. Under these conditions the seed will get plenty of moisture, will germinate quickly, and the feed roots will have plenty of forage area. Plan fewer acres to the mule In tense cultivation will be necessary, and the cotton should be gone over at least once in ten days to get the best results.
 With danger from heavy weevil infestation, good business manage ment of the farm demands that the cotton acreage be limited so that every farm will produce the feed stulfs and food supply needed by the families on that farm.

THAT LIBEL SUIT.

After hearing all the evidence, listening to the arguments of at torneys. and further guided by the instructions of the court, the jury in the case of A. H. Scoggin against the star Publishing Company and V. w. St John, asking for Si0,000 dam ages for alleged libel, returned a verdict which yindicated the de- fendants of the charge.
 The result is gratifying to The Star. not only because 1t believes it is based on justice in the partic- ular case, but because it is another proof that in this land of ours the laws are not such as to restrict any proper discussion of affairs that may be classed as the peoples business, of the official acts of those persons entrusted with that busi- ness. This last is of far more ini- portance than the immediate effect of the suit on either of the litigants.
 At the same time The Star does not propose to dc any jubilating over the fact that the plaintiff felt him. self aggrieved, and. in consequence, is disappointed The legal battle closed. the affair is at an end so far as The Star has to do with it.
 But, with that olt of the way, this matter Of discussing public affairs by newspapers, the pointing out of things of interest to the people and the duty of such papers to lay be- fore it's readers matters which are If concern to them there is much room for thought.
 The great problem of the sincere newspaper is HOW to get these matters before the people who should know and be guided by them
 -that is, HOW to do it so that it may really enlighten those interest ed and not offend others. It is all foolishness-it only shows plain lack of common sense-to say that a decent newspaper delights in offend- ing people. in making enemies for itself in cutting off it's own reven- ues and endangering it's very ex- istence through libel suits and such. To repeat, 1t is foolish to say, or to assume such.
 And, as result, sane newspaper always welcomes a chance to do those things that should be done, and at the same time avoid giving of fense. It would be the pleasant way and the profitable way. But it is an extremely difficult thing to do with out bringing into the discussion those individuals deemed respon- sible for the administration or con- duct of the thing or things under discussion.
 This is an unsolved problem that every newspaper faces year in and year out. And all it can do is to be guided by it's best judgment and an honest purpose.

Root Crops and Pumpkins.

In the campaign for more feed for stock, farmers should not neglect the root crops and the pumpkins. A farmer near Warren had over 800 bushels of turnips last year from a single acre of rich land. Every farmer who has even one COW should have a patch of mangel wurzels or turnips or carrots and he should not fail to plant few pumpkin seed in his corn or along waste patches. A pumpkin day may keep the sheriff away The Extension Service of the Arkansas College of Agriculture is advocating the growing of root crops and pumpkins to supplement the other feed crops. And then pumpkin piesl
