CUT THE "TIDE"

W lIIE lhDL
EDITOR THE TINES:
Permit me to suggest that the
word FLATS" be adopted to de-
scribe the level land between the
bluffs and from the water front
up the valley and that the pre-
fix Tide" be dropped.
The dyking out of the tide
from a large area of this land
makes tide land" a misnomer
but the word flats" accurately
describes and is easily under
stood to mean all the level land
described above.
If your reporters became used
to saying flats instead of tide flats
or tide land some confusion will
be saved. Yours truly,
GEORGE LAWLER.

HAM MICK HOURS

Dr. L. o. Toward, of 'ryphoid-fly'
fame. told this fly story:
"A Washington man went for his
vacation to a fly-haunted hotel in
Connecticut. There was a hammock
in the grove behind the hotel, and
one afternoon our friend climbed
into it with pipe and book. But the
flies tormented him numerically,
so he climbed out again in disgust.
Look here, landlord" he COM
planned, as he entered the office
whats the good of hammock in
such fly-ridden spot as that grover
oh" said the landlord. you didn't
use the hammock during hammock
hours"
What are hammock hours" asked
the guest.
Twelve to two, sir" said the land
lord You'n find no file in the
grove then, sir"
"And why not demanded the puz-
zled guest
Because said the landlord, ~

the dining room then -Exchange.

tivating will be sufficient if the soil
is not packed too hard. The seed
bed should be solid. This can be
be secured by proper narrowing Or
dragging. All clods should be bro

ing is done. Sowing seed on rough
land or breaking it in nearly always
results in failure.
Two hundred and fifty pounds of
acid phosphate or about two hundred
pounds of high grade commercial
fertilizer per acre will usually prove
profitable. These fertilizers should
be applied when the wheat is sown

though a bushel and a half will
often give better results.
Use a drill if one can be secured
Drilled wheat does not kill out as
badly by winter freezing as that
which is broadcasted. If drill is
not available the land should be lev
eled off, the seed broadcasted and
covered with harrow or similar
tool.

the Arkansas Experiment Station

for Arkansas conditions.
