POETIC MUSE GETS
THE BASEBALL BUG

With the renewal of cordial baseball
relations between Americas and AL
bany, the poetic muse has begun to
wander In an advertisement in the
Albany Herald are the following lines
which will be read with interest by
Americas people:
Oh, don't you remember old Gardner,
Gear Jube?
"Fess" Gardner, whose hair was so
thin;
Who'd yell with delight when his
team made a run,
Put would blow up when Albany'd
win?
Ia the old ball park by the school
house, dear lube,
He would let out his ye1ls so loud,
But when Albany's score grew more
and more,
Coed Gardner, he'd be lost in the
crowd
And don't you remember the tree,
dear lube,
Which stood DER the edge of the
fence,
Into which Dudley Cooke poled a
homer that day,
How old Gardner got up and wen,
hence?
But today the old tree has vanished
dear lube;
The old park has all been replaced
But the spirit to win which was sc
strong that day,
That spirit can never be effaced.
And don't you remember cid "Beai
Cat" dear Jube;
Old Bear Cat who went ant
flung dem draps,"
And Wilder and Hooks, and all of the
rest
Of that bunch of Americas chaps?
Very few of the old boys remain
dear Jube,
To take part in the games of today,
The players are new; the fans are
too,
But We'll beat them in the same OLE
way.

WARNINGS ARE SENT
SOUTH FOR A STORM

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 16.-The
weather bureau today sent warnings to
all points in the South to prepare for
violent weather. The warnings were
sent out because of the West Indian
hurricane reported today about one
hundred and fifty miles northeast of
Jamaica and moving rapidly in a
forthwesterly direction. The hurri-
cane, which was first reported Tues
day was said to be gathering violence
today, and its effects in the United
States promise to be much more severe
than at first indicated.

DUTCH FLEET CAUGHT A
LARGE AMOUNT OF HERRING

SCHEYENINGEN, Netherlands, Aug
l6.-The herring caught by the Dutch
fleet of 725 ships during the year 1916
totalled 671,O00 tons and brought an
average of $40 per ton as compared
with So for the previous season, ac-
cording to statistical report just
published. The war conditions and
particularly the big German demand
were thus responsible for an increase
o. $50 per cent A number of ships
were damaged by floating mines, and
nine ships in all were lost, with the
forfeit of 2S lives. One fortunate mo-
tcr-luggar, the "Catharina," earned
S65,600 in her ten trips.

eating peanuts. He ate them in the
usual manner for time, and then
poked one up his nose. Not getting
the desired results in that fashion, he
went crying to his mother. She tried
to remove the peanut, and after fail
ing in the attempt, called physician.
After the peanut was removed, the
physician had gone and things settled
down to some extent, the mother be-
gan to demand an explanation.
"Why in the world did you want to
poke peanut in your nose, any

"Well," replied the boy in self-de-
Tense, "that's the way elephans eats
them"

About
Our Service

The warehouses of this COM
pany are entirely shielded and
therefore cotton is properly pro-
tected from weather damage.
Our plants are located in cities
having established cotton buyers
who make a speciality of the sale
of cotton raised in their terri
tory which in itself insures high
market prices.
In Pine Bluff we have twobrick
warehouses with a capacity of
10000 bales of cotton.
Our warehouse receipts are
accepted by ALL banks and trust
companies. ~
If we did not know definitely
that our service offered lou
something to be greatly desired
by you, we certainly would not
have invested so heavily. Your
cotton is the most valuable pro-
duct you raise and a small
amount of weather damage saw
ed would more than pay stor-
y age and insurance charges with
as to say nothing of the many
other advantages.
We solicit your business

face material and add organic mat
ter. In many places deep blowing
will improve the texture by mixing
some of the heavy subsoil material
with the soil
OF the clay loan only very small
areas are in cultivation Its best
use probably is for pasture, although
oats and hay can be grown success
fully.
Other Soils.
The other soils of Jefferson coun-
ty have a relatively restricted de-
velopment. The Ochlochonee very
fine sandy loan and silt loan both
are practically all in cultivation and
produce good crops Of cotton, corn,
and forage plants.
The Lufkin silt loan is grayish on
the surface, somewhat notified with
yellow or russell brown. 1t occurs in
scattered areas throughout the up
land region Of the county the larg-
est single areas lying south of Pine
Bluff. Very little of the Lufkin silt
loan is cultivated. It's value for graz
ing could be greatly increased by
clearing away some of the timber and
underbrush, which frequently grows
SO thick as to smother the grasses.

the basis of profitable system of
livestock farming under which the
present yields of cotton and corn could
De greatly increased. At present cot
ton is the principal crop.
The Portland silly clay loan is
brown, it occurs in the bottoms of the
Arkansas river and some of it's tribu-
t taries. The type is locally called
buck shot land" Though most of the
type is inadequately drained, about
so per cent of it is in cultivation and
is regarded as very productive. The
type is greatly improved by growing
deep-rooted crops and blowing under
green crops and manure. Where
adequately drained the type in general
will produce alfalfa successfully, es-
pecially in areas where the chocolate
red subsoil lies near the surface
Where alfalfa can not be grown such
crops as cowpeas, lespedeza, and soy
beans will be found good substitutes
for it.

types. The soils of the county are
classed with ten series, on the basis
OF similarity in color, origin, and top
ography.
The Portland Series.
Approximately half of the county
is occupied by the Portland soil Sc
rles made up of five types--the CLAW.
the very fine sandy loan, the silt
loan, the silly clay loan, and the
very fine sand Of these the clay is
the most extensive, covering in it's
typical and it's well-drained phases
more than 100000 of the 561 800
acres of the county. The type con-
sists of dark-brown silly clay, fire.
quently somewhat notified with drab
and yellow. The most extensive
areas are encountered in the north
eastern part of the county. It is
estimated that only about 5 per cent
OF the type is in cultivation. During
rainy seasons water usually remains
on the surface for long periods. Re-
Gently several large drainage chan
nels have been constructed through
areas OF the type, and indications are
that much of this soil will soon be
utilized for agriculture. The con-
struction Of lateral bitches is neces-
sary for the best results. The type
supports a good growth of grasses,
and probably could be most profitably
used for stock raising.
Portland Clay, Well Drained Phase.
| The well drained phase of the
Portland clay consist of a dark
brown or chocolate-b brown clay. Prac-
tically all Of the phase is in cultiva-
ton. 1t is productive and is de-
voted largely to cotton and corn. The
production of forage crops, including
alfalfa, could be profitably extended.
Rice has been grown to some extent.
The Portland very fine sandy loan
is next in extent to the clay and is
one of the important soil types of
the county. 1t is light brown to
brown. Practically all the type is in
cultivation.
Cotton and corn are the most i'm
portant crops, cotton being grown on
about 80 per cent of the area of the
type. The soil is we'll suited to such
crops as Irish potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, peanuts, and garden vegetables
of all kinds, but these crops are not
grown except for home consumption.
Corn and cotton have been grown con-
tinuously on this type for the last IS
years, or since the land was cleared.
1t appears that yields are beginning
to decrease, indicating need of better
system of farming, including deeper
blowing and practice of rotations pro-
viding for such crops as cowpeas, soy
beans and vetch. The yields of all
crops grown could be materially i'm
proved with better methods of farm
ing.
The Portland silt loan is brown to
dark-brown. This type occurs in the
Arkansas river bottoms, and general
ly is well drained, although in some
places the drainage could be improv-
ed by ditching or thing. Alfalfa does
