MORE M0NEY CROPS.

On Of the great needs of Arkansas is an increase in the number of meney crops or in the s69fcts of money incomes. The farmer who depends on one crop ia a gambler. and is usually poorl Toi diversifs too much is mistake. because it leads to an unbalanced labor con- dition. But the farmer with from 90 to foo acres can we'll afford to con- slider the bush fruits. blackberries, dewberries. raspberries and goose berries and also grapes as small crops to bring in cash during the summer Then poultry on every farm in Arkansas should provide for much food and for much of the grocery bill Every farmer should grow potatoes for his own table for twelve months and some 10 sell. The Director of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and T. & Department of Agriculture, Fayetteville or Little Rock, is deeply interested in the problem of more money income for the average farm CT. He wants farmers and their wives to write him about these problems. There are many in Polk county who would profit by doing SD

THE HATFIELD FAIR.

The people of Hatfield, especially those hustIing business men. may we'll be proud of the fair they held this year. And as it is more than probable that no other fair will be held in Polk county in i9i6, all the county should join in felicitating the town that put labor and money into an enterprise that gave several thousand people a chance to see what can be, and is, produced in our county.
 There was one class, however, that failed to come up and do it's full share. and that is the farmers. There never has been finer qual- ity of farm exhibits made in one county. but there were far too few exhibitors. the aggregate was not more than half as large as 1t should have been. The same was true of the livestock and poultry and, in lesser degree, in other departments, except that conducted by the la dies. aiH
 Here the display was so large and so widely varied that the premiums seemed entirely inadequate and it was no wonder that those ladies in charge. and the judges, felt keenly the situation and wished for more premiums. or at least ribbons of merit, for the scores of worthy ar ticles displayed.
 One of the interesting farm ex- hibits was made by R. A. Rush. who is managing the Riverside Ranch, near the bridge on Mountain Fork west of Hatfield This farm offered watermelons, cotton, cabbage, pumpkins. sugar cane, ear corn and stalks of corn. onions and sweet po- tatoes, and. needless to say, took down some nice premiums AD. l.. Taylor of Two Mile was also a good exhibitor. winning. as he has be- fore. the award for the best display of farm products.
 And that olti wheelhorsea.J A. Slote, of the Pines Plantation: was there with the goods" giving an excellent illustration of how man who tries can make money growing, canning and selling fruit grown in Polk county.
 There is no greater proof that the Hatfield fair Of 1916 was a winner than the fact that there was an at tendance probably well in excess of 5000 persons.

D. c. Turner IS Considerina.


 To The Mena Star and My Republic an Friends Who Did Me Honor
 on tn 9th Inst:
 The fact that was nominated for circuit clerk struck me like a thun- derbolt, and almost lost my euuili- brlum. and it has taken me some tune to recover enough to express my gratitude to that convention for the unsolicited honor.
 While it is a fact that l have never afliliated with the Republic an party, have not voted a straight ticket for many years from the fact that We have had no straight party to vote for; and of course realize the fact that this convention is not trying to defeat the Democratic party so much as it wants to break up the ring rule and graft that has been practiced for many years in ms county in the name of the FDemocratic party. They realized that the last Democratic primary was not a party primary, but pri- mary conducted by the bosses and kingsters of this county of all the parties. And men of all the parties had charge of the primary. In this township We had Socialists, Demo- erats and Republicans 10 hold the so-called Democratic primary, and the same conditions pre- vailed all over the county The judges and clerks se- lected by the township committee men were ignored by the bosses, and men that they thought they could control were put i'll their. places; and now the Republicans and many. other good men think 1t time to show thls class of politicians that nominations do not mean elections where such corruption is practiced.
 Now the Dinky Press man says 1 seem to be little hay as to my party affiliations. If the corruption practiced Tn the so-called Demo" primaries and the graft in office and the loss sustained by the people by reason of such would not make man little ''hazy' ] would be glad to know what would.
 Say. Dinky, don't 1t look like you might be little bit "hazy" too2 Nou claim now to be boss Demo- crat. Two years ago you tore your shirt for the only Republican in the field. and bundles of extra copies of your paper in his interest were scattred all over the county And now you are beginning to indorse Phil Stevenson for county fudge What is the matter with you. Dinky2 Dc you think the people are blind as bats
 But will say now that if 1 do accept this nomination will pay you any reasonable amount to fight me al least up Co the election Of course, then would not care if you voted for me which you no doubt would do Will say in conclusion that l am studying this matter care fuily and prayerfully: and in the meantime would like to hear from different parts of the county as to sentiment. There Is plenty of time yet to consider.

IS THE COsTLIEsT CONGRESS.
Appropriations to Exceed Previous
 Record by 300 Million Dollars.

Washington. Aug. i4-The impor- tance of the POO million dollar reve- nue bill on which Senate Democrats today devoted many hours of de- liberation in caucus, IS being im- pressed upon leaders by the fact that appropriations of the session now nearing completion have brok- en all records.
 With passage this week of the 90 million dollar ship purchase bill and the probable approval by the House Of the Senates gigantic naval bill. the appropriations of the Sixty fourth Congress will have exceeded the previous high record by at least 300 million dollars. While exact fig ures cannot be computed until the gavel has fallen on the last supply bill of the session, the aggregate appropriation by Congress for all purposes probably will approximate i,lO0 million dollars as against t.f14 millions for the Sixty-third Con- gross.
 Besides regular supply bills that total, as they now stand, Sf. .aS7. .2O8.- 5S0, Congress will have added when inc shipping bill is approved. more than 90 million dollars for special purposes. There also have been contracted authorizations amount ing to about POT million dollars. all tai shrdln shrdlu shrdlu shrdlllnoh Of which would bring the grand ag- gFegate to 1885 million dollars. with the uncertain general deficiency appropriation still in the making to be added at the close of the session
 Special appropriations include 20 million dollars for a government rli- trate plant. 6 million for good roads 70 million for rural credits. and S90, i0O600 for the government ship ping urOipct

Save Your Own Seed.

Following the big campaign now on for more clovers and cover crops, the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture will start early in September a state wide campaign for Field Seed Se- lection" Circulars are being writ ten on Selecting Seed Corn and Selecting Cotton Seed and these will be distributed by county agents, bankers and county judges and others. It is earnestly hoped that at least one hundred progress sive farmers can be found in each county to go into their fields and select their seed corn and cotton seed according to suggestions given by the county agent and others or the Extension Division. The circu- lars will be ready by September 10. But now every patriotic Arkansas farmer must be planning for his acre or five or ten acres of clover and for his other winter cover crop of wheat or rye or oats. There are five great reasons for sowing tloNtIc dut Olliti WibAtl pVF'i crops. Name them.
 Gut Up Corn.
 Arkansas farmers should break away from that queer old habit of fodder pulling and cut up the corn and feed the whole stalk. Cut the corn and shock it in the field or if in small field haul to the fence CT to- the shed and thus leave the field clear for seeding wheat or rye or oats for winter pasture or for a grain crop. Cattle will eat the blades and at least 40 per cent of the stalk Of course, if q man does not need any of the stalk for feed it can he left and plowed under; but we should see more shocks of corn. Then if the corn is to be shipped to market 1t must be husked, the husks removed from the ears. as is the custom in Mis- souri and Illinois. where corn is prepared for market
 Steps for Wheat Culture.
 Ground for wheat should be plowed before the middle of Aug ust. preferably as early as July t5 and not later than Aunust i5, if possible to get it done before that time. Flowing before this date should be six to eight inches deep, but later it will be better to blow only four inches deep. Wheat ground should be disked before blowing. If possible. Seed bed must be well prepared It will pay to clean seed wheat in a flaming mill and SOW only plump and sound grains only only five peeks per acre. If wheat has smut it should be treated with formaldehyde. See county agent or write College of Agriculture, Fayetteville. for direc- tions.

FolIowinq the Established Path.

Common sense is as rare as genius. Consequently the majority of people are only ordinary beings, neither good nor bad. But they are suspicious of every one who acts in such way as to disturb the established order of events. Hence wardly Co established and inherited customs is a dangerous person. People can be of loose lives, but as long as they outwardly conform to the conventions practiced by the church Nnd community no great fault is f0und.-Joe Lewis.

 It ought to be possible to find a hasis of settlement between the railway employees and employers. It ls not possible that there is no md- de ground It is not possible that there IS nothing to arbi.rate The laDprlng men are always frightened at the word arbitration because they frequently stacked cards. but that ls not the case now. In the old times when the railroad influence was dominant it was a real dread but now the situation has changed. The public wants a square deal for both sides.

BETTER TRY POLK COUNTY.

What has become of the old-fash- toned singing sehool2 t ilU0rished many years and then it disappeared, but nothing has been found to take it's place. Singing is the only thing that everybody can do something at. True, all cannot carry tune. but all can say the words and make the noises that go with singing. Then the sociable feature is not to be ig- nored. People engaged in a eom- mon purpose can always find com mon things about which to talk. We can recall how, as a family. we used to sit on the front porch and sing of evenings Ali our neighburs did likewise. Now nobody does that Also congregational singing has not held it's own--Times Reel ord.
 Here and now The Star wants to invite the T. R. editor to Polk coun- ty. where he can find singin' school" On a whole lot Of quarter sections. And when there are not singing schools there are esingings. neighborhood, settlement and dis trict singings. on the porches and where there are no porehes. There's singing for everybody. everywhere.
