billiard Wyatt, Champion Corn Grower, Tells How He
 Cultivated Crop

billiard Wyatt of Rosie, the 13-Year-old son of Tax Assessor Geo. w. Wyatt, who won the distinction Of being the cham pion corn grower of Arkansas for 1916 by producing yield of t31.14 bushels on an acre of land, tells the following inter- esting story of his work which deserves the attention of ev- cry progressive farmer.
 "The land upon which IgreW my corn is located near Rosie, on the White River. It is black, sandy, loam land that has been cultivated abouJ 90 years. However, within the last two years, there have been two oy- erfl0ws that left heavy depOs- it's upon the land. The land was first broken with a four-horse disc blow in the fall, eleven in ches deep. Just a few days af- ter rebreaking, it was thor narrowed, planted and rolled. It was planted in rows three feet apart and eleven in- ches in the drill with Boone County White corn. The stand was practically perfect, thus giving about 15,840 stalks on the acre. The first cultivation was rather deep,~1ld was made with a small blow. Two more aultiYations were given with

gone, and evidently gone to stay.
 A University in the center of the state, with up to date buildings and departments, would stop the steady stream of students to institutions of other states, students who are not now attraced to the Uni versity at Fayetteville.
 The question s a live one, and will probably be discussed very thoroughly in the coming session of the legislature, and the majority of the citizens of | Arkansas will approve of an agreement which will give to the state a modern institution of learning without cost.
 It really seems like business, and no sentiment, should gov ern educational matters in Ark ansas, and the incoming session of the legislature, being pledg- ed to do business in business like way, will no doubt con- sider very carefully any offers to present the state with a modern University. A proposi- ton to bestow upon the State a $2,000,000 or $3,000,00o in stitution cannot be overlooked A University in the center of the state could be reached from any section within 12 hours, and all by Northwest Arkansas would not be exclud- ed from it's advantages.
 With hundreds of Arkansas boys and girls now going to other states to colleges, rather than make the long journey to Fayetteville, something must be done, or the spirit of the state University will never be created.
 The citizens of Fayetteville are entitled to something for their outlay, and the institu- tion there should be always maintained as a branch. It will never serve the needs of the entire state but would thrive as a branch, while a centrally To- cated University would soon show an enrolment of from |2000 to 5000 students.

HOSPITAL HEAD IS
 EMINENT ALIENIST
 New Superintendent For State Hospital Comes From Great
 est Hospital in New York

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-After long period of controversy, It is believed that the Superln- tendency of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases has been finally adjusted, and that there will be no further trouble. The administrations of Dr. Greene, Dr. Young and Dr. Bledsoe were characterized by more or less wrangling, in courts, Leg isIature, and Boards. Now the Board has gone to New York and secured the services of a man whom Dr. J. L. Green calls one of the most eminent alienists of the United States.
 pr. M. B. Heylnan, assistant superintendent of the Central Islip State Hospital, on Long Island, has been elected to the position and will assume the duties of the position about Jan. 10. Those familiar with his record, declare that the state is very fortunate to secure him. He is one of several phy- sieians eligible for appointment to the superintendency of hos pitals for the insane in New York, and in length of service and experience he out-ranks them all. He has passed the necessary Civil Service exam. ination several times. On ac. count of his good work at Cen. tral Islip, the position of assist ant superintendent was created for him, being the only one il the New York hospital service He has been engaged in tht service for 25 years and fol twenty years has been assist ant to Superintendent c. A Smith at Central Islip. Dr Smith writes of him:

PRACTICAL PLAN TO
 REMOVE UNIVERSITY
Plan Outlined Whereby the People Will be Benefited
 and University Bettered

Hearty approval of the plan suggested by the Pine Bluff Commercial in a recent issue, for a central University, is being shown in all sections of Arkansas. There has long been sentiment in favor of a University so located as to be easy of access to the people of the entire state, but because of the great cost of establishing such an institution, and the presence of the saloon in the vieinities which were asking for the institution, no action has been taken.
 The Commercial plan does away with the first objection, for it requires the county get ting the location to erect the University, and the people have cared for the second.
 There have been bills before the Legislature in years past, calling for the removal of the University of Arkansas to Lit tie Rock. The citizens of Little Rock offered nothing, except a possible site. The Conner cial suggests an improvement district to include an entire county, and the funds thus de- rived-about $2,000, ,000 to be applied toward erecting build ings for the new, central uni versity.
 Several counties in central Arkansas are looking with l covetous eyes upon an institu- tion of this character. They are | willing to organize themselves | into the district to raise the funds for the buildings, but they are aware that Pulaski county, which is by far wealth fer, must be reckoned with, and for this reason Pulaski will probably be the strong bidder if bill for a new University is brought in at the coming ses- sion.
 The healthful climate of Fayetteville, and the fact that the people of that city gave a bonus many years ago for the institution, have oeen about all the reasons advanced for maintaining the University at Fayetteville. Inaccessibility is the chief objeetiO l to it's pres ent location. There has been a fight against University ap- propriations each session of the legislature, and those who op-

The total weight be ing 8,774 pounds, which she'll ed out 83.7 per cent, giving a yield in shelled corn of 131.14 bushels. The yield on nearby land was about 60 bushels per acre.
 This boys father averaged 70 bushels per acre on loo acres. The father of this boy states that the chief difference in his yield and that of the boy is that his boy gave his corn three harrowings after the father had laid his by, at a time when the corn needed the most attention.
 billiard Wyatt deserves a good deal of credit for this ex- cellent yield, yet there are hundreds of boys in the state who made much smaller yields who deserve much credit.
 ". J. Jernigan with the Ex- tension Division of the Univer- sity of Arkansas in charge of the Boys Club Work, says he has gone through the record books this year and found num- bers of boys, who had taken land that has been farmed 50 or 75 years, hill land, too, and by following out the scientific methods of corn growing, had 5he average yield on similar and even quadrupled land nearby.

expenditure of slightly more
than 100000, 900 during the
current fiscal year for the sup
port Of the Government, for the
prosecution of the war and for
the benefit of foreign govern
ments.
That for our Allies is included,
for the simple reason that it is
American money which is being
expended and American markets
in which it is being spent. All
that this Government has to

VALUE Of LIME
FOR FARMING
Is EXCELLENT FOR CORRECTING
ACIDITY IN THE SOIL.
SOME SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS
With the Aid Of the County Demon
stratIon Agent Farmers Can
Test Their Soil.

College Park, March 15.-In a bull
ietin recently issued by the Extension
Service, the writer, L. B. Broughton,
treats the subject OF lime for farming
very thoroughly. A complete copy
of this bulletin can be obtained by
writing to the Extension Service, Col
Iege Park, Nd. Mr.. Broughton, in the
bulletin, says in part:
zone of the principal and in fact
the most important factor that lime
plays in increasing crop production
Is in neutralizing the soil acidity. In
the majority of cases the acids of the
soil are organic acids produced by the
rotting of vegetable matter in the soil;
yet other material and conditions may
also cause a soil to be acid Dis
solved phosphate or rock in very large
quantities may cause soil acidity par
tioularly ON light sandy soil. Sulphate
Of ammonia and muriate OF potash
also help to make a soil acid, so also
does the natural decay Of soils and
rocks containing but little lime.
How To Determine What Soils Need
Lining.
"The most accurate method for the
farmer to determine II his soils need
time is by the utmus paper test. This
test has been used for number OF
years and Is the best simple test that
can be recommended at the present
time. Litmus paper, both red and
blue colored, can be obtained at any
drug store for about 10 cents per
package. Its value as an indicator
depends on the great sensitiveness OF
utmus towards acids and alkalies, the
blue being changed to red by an
acid and the red paper being changed
to blue by an alkad.
"There are few simple precautions
In the testing of soil. A good meth
Cd of procedure is as follows: Pre-
pare two or three cups or deep sauc-
ers and spoon by rinsing each care
fully in pure rain water. Place few
spoonfuls Of the soil to be tested in
a cup, add a little of the pure water
until a thin paste is made with the
soil, dip an unused strip Of blue lit
mus into the paste, being careful not
to touch with the fingers the part OF
the strip dipped into the paste, allow
it to remain in, contact with the mix
ture for ten minutes, then remove and
rinse off the soil particles in another
cup of the pure water If the soil be
not in special need of lime, no change
can be detected in the color Of the
litmus, in which event the test may
be repeated, using red litmus, which
II turned even slightly blue indicates
an alkaline condition Of the soil, and
hence no need of lining. If the blue
litmus be changed to distinct red,
the lime requirement is high, but even
a faint reddening indicates low con-
tent of carbonate Of lime, so that lin.
ing Is apt to be profitable.
"The use of fresh and well prepared
litmus paper and either pure rain or
distilled water are Of prime impor,
lance Old and faded litmus paper
should not be used. Several samples
should be tested both from different
parts of the same field and from diff
ferent fields. having as widely differ
emit soils as possible"
