KEEP LAND BUSY;
STATE NEEDS FOOD
As soon as One Crop Is Off the Land
Plant Something E!se-Keep the
Land, Men and Teams Busy.
By L. w. Osborn, College of Agricul-
ture. University of Arkansas.

BY L. w. Osborn, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Arkansas.
Help feed the Arkansas troops and
their horses. Put something on stub
BILE land as soon as possible, and do
everything to help produce surplus.
Make your land work as far as possi-
Bile all the time. AS soon as the oat
and wheat crops are off the land, plant
something and keep the teams and Ia
borers busy. Remember, you are
working for Arkansas now.
The crops which can still be plant
ed at this season Of the year are the
old stand-bys-the cowpeas, peanuts,
sorghum and sweet potatoes Aside
from these can be mentioned the soy
bean and late corn The velvet bean
can still be planted for forage or soil
improvement. The yields of forage
from these late planted crops are good
even though lighter than can usually
be expected from the earlier plant
ings A combination Of sorghum and
COW peas, seeded with a grain drill,
will probably produce as large a yield
of forage as anything, Corn planted
in rows five or six feet apart with
cowpeas, soy beans, or peanuts, drill
ed through the middle is a good prac-
tice where grain is desired and the
forage can be pastured. Planting
cowpeas or soy beans in the row with
corn makes an excellent combination
for the silo, especially on good soils.

FOR A BETTER ROAD
Citizen Of Maxviile FsvOrS Using State
And Government Aid.

Editor Rec0rd,-We see that
Sharp county is allowed Sl2,8OO
from the government for public
road building Your proposition
of building a federal aid road from
Strawberry river to Cave City,
which is approximately II or Is
miles, is a good one, and with al
equal expenditure from the people
along that route that sum is much
more than sufficient to build the
road
From our way of thinking, the
rold ought to be built, but it will
not be built if the peopIe DO not get
busy on the government aid pfopC-
sition. We do not believe tie road
will ue built unless we take adVaH-
tage Of the protter Of the govern
ment From our experience and
obs rvauon without direct taxation
revenue is hard to raise. Oj course
there are people who are willing t..
make donations, JuJ there art
many who are not willing to do so.
Taking that proposition as a basis
and comparing it wl,h contract la
Dor there is more equalization ln|
the latter plan, for the more work
one does the more pay he receives
the less work, the less pay.
there has been and is now some
objections to bonding the road lnI
the outset the bonding will not eX-
ceed, or we should think should not
exceed the amount of the federal
offer, which is something like 81 ,0OO
mile for the construction of the
road This amount under the Al
exander law, per mile, would be
raised from a strip Of territory a
mile long and something like six
miles wide.
There is a hysteria in regard to
bonding the road, which we thiI k
Tcan be alleyiated by issuing the
bonds 10 low denominations and
giving the people at home the pref
erence of purchase. In doing this
the people come into ownership of
the investment. Also anyone who
wished to work on the road could
secure employment at fair wages.
From rumor we should think that
should the road be bonded the pee
pie in the district in which it is to
be built will buy all the bonds
Let us hasten the time when we
people will wake up, throw off our
letharey and take advantage of our
opportunities Don't be Stacker.

COTTON CROP HURT;
THE MARKET HELPED
Jno. H. Pages Weekly Let
ter To The Farmers Is
Full Of Good Things.

The weather conditions have
been hurtful to the cotton crop, but
helpful to The cotton market, and
this is cons0line if the market will
stand firm
The young corn as we'll as cotton
has been damaged by the cold
weather But there is yet time for
both to come out and make good
crops if the stand has not beer
damaged. From many parts Of
the state come reports of poor
stands Some have plowed up
and replanted, which is the best
policy where it is not t0o late in
the season, Some farmers have a
habit of planting corn in the miss
ing places Of a bad stand Of cotton.
This is a poor way and a waste of
time and labor 1t would be better
to use the time in clearing out the
fence rows, ditch banks and waste
places and planting them to COW
peas. A cotton field with straggline
corn stalks, here, there and yonder
growing in the rows makes the field
look ugly and ragged and makes
no corn worth while. 1t is all right
to plant watermelonS, if thev are
not too much trouble, but do not
plant corn among your cotton. Do
not overlook the sweet potato and
peanut crops this year. There is
plenty of time to plant both These
crops will make good filing in
crops where the cotton stand is
poor,
All kinds of beans and peas will
be a good price next year, and be-
sides you may need them yourself
Plant peas or cornfeld beans in all
your corn, On all your Oat and
wheat land SOW peas as soon as the
crop is cut. Move the shocks if
necessary. Do not follow oats
with corn, 1t won't pay, aud 1t
hurts the land. Peas will help it..
Those who have not tried them
should plant a few soy beans and
velvet beans. They are both going
to prove good money crops Their
feeding values insureS a market at
a good price. They are both soil
builders, the best you can get, The
soy bean is valuable for its oil and
is rich as feed, The velvet beans
are prolific and seldom sell for less
than 81 SO a bnshel, They are now
selling at from So 50 to $500. Sov
beans are selling at $500 and $500
Velvet beans must be planted in
corn. The vines are long and must
have support
When the weather is dry enough,
keep the tools in the ground end
keep the soil stirred, Plow deep 10
your first cultivation while the crops
are small When they get to grow
ing well, cultivate shallow. First
80 down deep and loosen the soil
and let in the air and moisture
The air will warm the soil and give
it life, Loose soil will take up rain
when it falls and hold it. When
The corn gets knee high, plow shah
low and often. Don't let a top
crust stay on the soil Break it up
at once That will hold the mois-
ture and help resist the drought.
Plant plenty of sorghum for feed
in July and August 1t does not
make valuable feed, but it furnishes
succuIent feed when The grass is
suffering from hot weather and
droughts, 1t is very fine for hogs
and comes at a much needed time
Remember my bulletins posted
at the court house door If you
have anything you want to sell on
buy lot me know and | will adyor-

C. E. ANGULA RETURNS

C. E. Angula returned yesterday from Tucson, here he was called by the serious illness of his father, G. V. Angula. MT Angula reached the bed side of his parent before death ended the career of one who was in truth a pioneer of Arizona. The Elder Angula went to Tucson in 1855, when he was Il years of age and remained in that city since. making his stay in Ari- Zona cover a period of sixty-one years. He was a member of the Pio neer Society of Arizona. Like most old residents of the state he has had many and varied experiences. He was taken to Tucson by a wealthy Mexican fam fly and at once began work in their store. When he was IS he had full charge of the business during the ab sence of the owner, who made trips by wagon through to Louisville, Ky. for merchandise. During the civil war sol- diers of both sides were frequent cus- toners of the young man, and his son states that it has been exceedingly in- teresting to hear his father tell of the stirring times of the past and the fights of the early settlers with Apache In dians. fights in which whites and Mexicans joined against the maurau- ders. The widowed mother will make her home with another son, who lives in Tucson.

PROSPECTS FOR BRIDGE

The Salt River Indian Reservation Is so situated that many of the families in desiring to get to Mesa have to go round Tempe. making the trip very long one. and losing to this place q good deal of trade. A bridge placed across the Salt river would bring Mesa very close to all points of the reser- yation, beside being a great convent ence to the Indians. Some time ago an article bearing on this was published in the local paper and this was called to the attention of the Indian depart ment at Washington with the result that the department manifested inter est in the suggestion. Yesterday after
 noon Senator o. s. Stapley. J. w. Le
 sueur and Elijah Allen drove out to the reservation with view to looking over various sites to find one suitable and where both ends would rest on In- dian land. They report an excellent site, where a 300-yard bridge would make access to Mesa much more con- venient and would connect the reserva- ton now lying on both side of the river It is believed from what has been ascertained as to the sentiment of the department at Washington that if the town will get behind and push the movement a bridge can be secured.

THE DUPED TONIGHT

What is said to be the most ex- pensivo cast ever assembled is seen in the thrilling fox hunt scenes of the Jesse L. Lasky production of "The Dupe," on the Paramount pro- gram, which will be presented tonight with the beautiful and cap tivating Blanche Sweet in the stellar role. The fox hunt scenes were taken in and around what is consid- cred the most exclusive hunt club in the United States, and it was oniy by guaranteeing not to reveal the name of the club, or any of its mem bers, that the scenes were secured. A number of the wealthiest and most fashionable of Americas society took prominent parts, and in the scenes prior to the start of the chase it is said that over a million dollars were represented by the amateurs.
