Little Rock, Ark, May 23, 1917 Proper cultivation of the cotton and corn will increase the yields of these croI s a great deal. Dur ing the last ten years the aver age yield of corn has been only about 20 bushels per acre, and of cotton about one third bale per acre. Every year during periods of droughts one can see that some fields suffer much more from lack of moisture than Oth- CTS. Cultivation does two things helps down the weeds and grass, and retains the moisture that is needed by the growing crops.
 During the last ten years the Arkansas Experiment Station has made many tests in different sections of the state to deter mine the best method of cultivat- ing corn and cotton. While con ditions vary with the season and circumstances, it has been found by practical farmers over the state that they can increase their yields a great deal by following the methods that these tests have proven to be good

ter? There are no reasons why il

cal points in the state at which to
hold a state convention, because of its
central location and the educational
facilities that surround it.
1t is unquestionable that conven-
fions are great benefit to the city.
Those held here within the last year
brought nearly 1000 persons to Co
lumbia. The average amount spent
daily by the visitor is 81. This means
that the business of the town is great
ly increased during the convention
period
The W. o. W. convention, with its
1000 delegates, is only one of many
that might be brought to Columbia if
a systematic plan were used to in
form organizations of Columbia's ad-
vantages. A convention bureau, es-
tablished and run in conjunction with
the Commercial Club, might prove to
be the desired thing. 1t could keep
in touch with all state organizations
and encourage delegates to come here.
The only reason that many do not
meet here is that they have not been
reminded that Columbia has more ad-
vantages than other cities of its size.
With>the completion of the Daniel
Boone Tavern in June, ample ac-
commodations can be provided for all
visitors likely to come at one time.
Thus the main drawback of the past
will be eliminated.

TELLING A STORY WELL
Columbia.

A few hours after the landing at
Queenstown of the survivors of the
liner Laconia, which was sunk last
week by a submarine, reporter for
the Chicago Tribune, who was one of
those saved, cabled his story to this
country. 1t was the kind of story
that opportunity seldom gives to
many newspaper men. This reporter
made the best of his.
Without wasting words, the re-
porter told the story of the sinking of
the ship in such vivid manner that
the reader felt as if he had undergone
the experiences. Every interesting
detail was embodied in the story
the passengers talking of their
chances of being torpedoed; the
couples dancing to the strains of
Poor Butterfly" when the shock
came; the rush to the lifeboats; the
difficulty in lowering away; the ac-
tions of the passengers, negro fire.
man and the ships baker; finally,
the last glimpse of the great vessel,
when the tiers of lights winked out
as the water closed over them, and
the blackness of the night, relieved
only by a mean, cheese-like moon,
resting on a bank of jagged clouds"
The story was an example of
better. newer type of journalism, tell
ing every important detail in such a
way that the reader fancies himself
the writer, the one who has expert
enced the sensation.
