He is man of splendid ability,

Nothing Compulsory
About Better Farming

1t is not the intention of those
promoting the "better farming"
campaign to undertake to die
tate to any farmer what he shall
raise or how he shall market it.
The object Of the campaign is
to place valuable information
before the people, and make it
possible for them to avail them
selves of it. Those it is intended
to benefit, of course, have per-
feet right, if they see fit, to re-
ject or neglect this information
and follow any method they
llke-to continue the one-crop
system that has impoverished
them and practically enslaved
them and their families. No one
presumes to infringe on or to
abrogate the right of the farm
er to continue thissystem. Those
backing the movement for bet
ter things for the farmers will
be glad of those who take adj
vantage of the new order of
things, but they will lose no
sleep over those who prefer the
old way.

2 CASES SMALLPOX

Families Where Disease APP

Persons Exposed Vaccinated

Two cases of smallpox have

The persons who have the
disease are Oscar Summons and
Mrs. Boswell.
Prompt action was taken to
prevent the spread of the dis
ease when the two cases were
discovered Wednesday.
DR.. w. B. Lawrence, county
health officer, was summoned
from Batesville, and after an

Immediately quarantined the
families where the disease has

A special meeting of the town
council was held last night. DR..
A. A. Evans was elected city

A Crying Need For
Improvement at Home

Much has been said about
rural imrovement but there is
room for considerable improve
ment in the conditions in our
mall towns and villages. Why
not get ready now for a great
clean up" campaign sometime
in February or March. Too
many village streets are worse
than the country roads. Why
not grade and drag these street
improve the drainage; put in
crossings, haul out the tin cans
and rubbish. clean out the al
leys and back yards, plant
trees along the streets, a differ
ent kind of tree for each street,
fix up wide parkings and set to
Bermuda or Blue Grass, and
then most important of all, look
after the outhouses, the great
est disease breeding factor in
small towns. Haul off the ma
nure from the stables before
the first of March, provide air.
tight boxes and use lime or
treat with powdered borax at
rate of one pound per 16 cubic
feet. The unsanitary privies in
the villages and small towns is
the cause of more deaths than
tuberculosis. Why not have
this slogan for Newark: Let
us make this a good town to
live in."

TOO MUCH SALT MAY
KILL SOME ANIMALS
When Taken in Excessive Quanti-
ties 1t Is PoiSonous-ChiCk-
ems Are Susceptible.
(By I. e. NEwSoM, Colorado Agricultur-
al College. Fort Collinsl

(By I. e. .NEwSoM, Colorado Agricultur-
al College, Fort Collins.)
Samples of salt are occasionally sent
to the agricultural college for analysis
with the statement that animals, usual
ly cattle or sheep, were poisoned after
eating it in considerable quantities. In
no case has any foreign substance that
would account for the poisoning been
found.
Since salt is necessary to life and
Is In universal use, 1t Is difficult to
realize that in large amounts 1t is
poisonous. Many cases of poisoning
in chickens have been reported and
occasionally in larger animals. In one
instance salt was by mistake used in
stead of sugar in making cake. The
cake was given to the chickens and
killed all of them. Chickens are very
susceptible to salt poisoning and, while
the amount that it takes to kill horse
or COW is considerable, this sometimes
occurs when these animals are especial
ly salt hungry.

have packed the soil and kept it water
soaked, deep cultivation will help to
dry and aerate the soil. Breaking the
roots of the plants must be avoided
so far as possible. If roots are broken,
the plants will rapidly produce other
roots, but it will be at the expense of
the vitality and food supply. After
the plants have reached height of
two or three feet, the soil, even in the
middle of the rows, should not be cul-
tlvated deeper than four inches, and
usually a shallower cultivation will
prove better. For retaining soil mois
ture loose soil mulch two or three
inches in thickness should be main
tained.
The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be cult
waited Is that it should be cultivated
often enough to keep down weeds and
to maintain constantly loose soil
mulch until the corn has attained its
growth. To this end n greater num-
ber of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals of about a
week cause the surface soil to run
together and crust. This crust must
be broken and the soil mulch restored,
or evaporation will soon rob the soil
Of its moisture. 1t is a mistake to
think that the longer the drought the
more frequent should be the cultlva-
tions. After n fine mulch of about
three inches in depth has been produced
its frequent stirring is not necessary,
except in so far as 1t is required to
keep weeds from starting. The essen
tial object Of cultivation is to restore
the soil mulch as soon after rain as
the condition Of the ground will per-
NIT. If this time is allowed to pass
and the ground becomes hard and
baked, the crop will suffer greatly, for
the cultivation of hard, dry ground
breaks 1t up into clods, causing more
injury than If such cultivation had not
been given at all, All observant farm
ers have seen crops injured in this
manner. Many crops are cut short by
stopping the cultivation, because the
corn is too tall for the use of double

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The most successful corn growers
realize the Importance Of thorough
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check in the growth Of the plants be-
cause Of weeds or crusted soil. The
farmer should see that, from the time
of termination to the maturing of the
corn the plants are not subjected to
any preventable unfavOrable condi-
tions, but are given an opportunity to
make a steady, vigorous growth. If
their development is checked from any
cause they will never fully recover, no
matter how favorable the later treat
ment. AS consequence Of heavy rain
fall the stalks may increase rapidly
in height, and at the same time, for
lack of cultivation or. of soil fertility,
or for some other reason, they may be
slender or of poor color. Thrifty corn
plants are thick, strong, and Of dark-
green color.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break a sur
face crust, check insect depredatiOns,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up or large eribugh to be
worked with other implements. Dur
ing the first cultivation, or while the
plants are very small, narrow shovels
that throw the soil but very little
should be used, and tenders are usu-
ally found desirable to prevent the
covering of the plants.
Favor Shallow Cultivation.
Many comparative tests of deep and
shallow cultivation have been made,
and on the whole the results are In fa-
vor of shallow cultivation. There are
but few occasions when deep cultiva-
ton is preferable. If, excessive rains
