the cotton planter, however, they. are about ready for rain. Their fields are beginning to look clean. The plant is unusually small and fully three weeks late. The boil weevll IS very much in evidence.
 "A few of the planters in the south east part of the country and in the same part of the state are blowing up their cotton and planting corn.
 "A large planter from Dumas, Ark ansas, was in Friday, the 18th inst, and reported that he was planting corn in the water furrow between the cot ton on two hundred acres; if there are no squares on the cotton by July 18th he will blow up the cotton and allow the corn to grow. Some plant CTS north of Pine Bluff are doing the same. Others are fighting the wee vii from the start by picking up the squares and the actual weevil as well:
 "The improvement in the growth of the plant within the last ten days IS great, but for the weevil believe southeast Arkansas would make as much cotton as last year, but on the face of the present indications, it will not.
 "The stock of cotton at Pine Bluff is 19,945 bales against 7,752 bales for the same time last year. We are entering July with an unusually large stock. We feel like this cotton should be sold at present prices"

BEST THEATRE,

Today-"The Poor Little Rich Girl,' the picture with Mary Pickford is said to be little Mary's best photo-play. The film is 100 per cent entertain ment, and has great moral although it is not preachy. The story is touch ing and sentimental and yet is virile and chuck through with typical Am ericanism. The film gives the dainty star many opportunities to display the Pickford pout, smile, curls, and the cute mannerisms. It is sure enough Pickford picture. All critics have said that this is Miss Pickford's best and that if she had been totally un- known her appearance of the neglec- ted child of rich parents would have made her lasting reputation.

EVERY HUMAN BEING
 NEEDS RELAXATION
Recent Thoughts by Director of Ma tlonal Bureau for Advancement
 of Music.


 But as said, we must utilize OUT good fortune" says c. M. Tremaine in a recent issue of the Review. "We must let the people realize the place music can fill in their lives. Every human being needs a certain amount of relaxation and pleasure. Let the peple realize that the most economi- cal pleasure is the pleasure in their own homes. and that music is one of the greatest and most satisfying of pleasures. Another important thought IS that money spent on a piano is an investment, while money spent on out side pleasure is gone with nothing to show for it.
 "Let us look the facts suuarely in the face. High taxes are coming, and a cry for economy and the cutting out of luxuries has already started. The piano and all musical instruments are classed as luxuries by many. Why should we allow them to keep this opinion: It is not true. Music is a necessity at all times, and it is more q necessity in times of stress and trouble than in times of peace and quiet.
 "We all know that the army could not get along without it's band. It is also fact that the soldier in the trench has his musical instrument, and it helps him. He thinks of home and country. At home, the family gather around the piano as they think of the trenches, and they ease the lonsomeness and sorrow with music"

make the correction. The error oc-
Cured in the third paragraph OF the
excerpts from the government report
and in the fourth line. II IL made to

ALFALFA AT JUDYvILLE FARMS

Six years ago man sold his farm
In Ohio and came to Virginia, wear
ing something on his mind besides his
hat. This something was Alfalfa"
and the man who wore II, and still
wears It, is "Al" Judy, and our story
starts with that day six years ago
when he started to take land out Of
the brush and put it in alfalfa.
1--WE have taken WORKOUT land,
grown up in thick brush, and after
cleaning 1t and blowing deep. we have
sOwn 1t to cOwpeas. We feed our soil
from the start, using from 250 to 400
pounds of fertilizer per acre. When
the season is good we cut the peas for
hay, but otherwise we pillow the crop
under for green manure. This is gen.
orally followed with Crimson clover,
using at the same time ton of lime
stone and 200 pounds of fertilizer. This
has always made an excellent crop.
to be harvested the following May.
Then we break the land<deep.s SOW
Ing to cowpeas again, and about Au-
gust 10 these are turned under. The
seeded is worked down to a fine filth,
and the alfalfa sown about the last
week In August.
Before seeding we spread from one
to three tons of limestone per acre.
and with this was drilled In $50
pounds Of high-grade fertilizer. Today
we use the best Kansas grown, nOn-ir-
hgated alfalfa seed, about thirty
pounds. With this, we also put In ten
pounds of crimson clover, to insure
heavy hay crop for the first cutting
the following May.
"When l took this farm the brush
vas so thick that you couldn't shoot
rabbit fifty feet away, so not being
a natural-born marksman l figured
have done well to remove my rabbit
preserve and put 1t to growing this
wonder crop. never expect the mar
ket to fail for good hay, and I'm grow
ing more as fast as can prepare the

CINE or a boiler Even the man who
operates the boilers OF an apartment
building is called an engineer" al

be good mechanic, but he is not an
