lieVe Q demand will be made by the people of the state for re-enact ment of this measure If it IS repealed If this demand comes from the people the pdblsers of Arkansas will demand that the rate ol publication be made the full legal rate instead of half the rate as IS now provided ;"
 The puDncity law has every right to remain in the statues of Arkansas. It was passed by the people and the people have seen the benefits of it. But the newspapers of Arkansas will resort to no pussy footing methods to perjetuate the law, and choose rather. 10 make this plain statement to the General Assembly relying wholly on it's patriotism and fairness h the matter The Association de slres u announce its tHsenti0n e0 pup E. sh this statement in every news papers alhed4sith this association. This publication will be made whether the Act IS repealed or not. for the pub ishers deam wise that the people of the state should know their atti- tude in the matter.
 For the Good of Arkansas
 The tomahawk has been inferred
 Earle W. Hodges, late Secretary of State, and one-time candidate for Governor, IS a good loser. At meet ing of the press association last week, he said that Dr. Brough is making such a good governor that he is al most sorry that he tried to beat him Gov. Brough responded with a felici tuos expression of gratitude for the support MT. Hodges is giving him in progressive measures for the good of the state, "and all goes merry as a marriage bell"
 But that is the impression that Gov Brough IS making upon the whole state. He is making good" He is rising above petty politics, as his friends predicted he would. He sees in the governors office something

food to nourish a crop of berries. Such plantings are more apt to be kill ed during dry weather, the crop IS al- ways light and the berries small in size. Therefore, 1t is a waste of mon- ey and labor to make plantlngs on the poor soils The fellow who makes such plantings IS also sure to become discouraged. As evidence that our soils are generally lacking in fertl- lity one has only to compare plants growing in an old garden spot with those grown elsewhere. The plants in the garden spot are thrifty, produce more and better berries and they are easier to harvest than are those scat tered all over the field, but thin in all places.
 AS to the kind and amount of fert- ilizers to use, stable manure that IS we'll routed is one of the very best. It isn't necessary to say how much to use for feel safe in saying use all you have. then buy some if you can stand the expense. Some ot the most successful growers use from 300 to 500 pounds of bone meal per acre at plant ing time, then broadcast about 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre when the growing season comes on. Farmers Bulletin No. 664 recommends the following mixture where all of the fertilizing clements are to be supplied in the form of commercial fertilizers; Nitrogen. to per cent; phosphoric acid, to 6 per cent; and potash, to per cent. Owing to the high price of potash at the present time. however, 1t will not be profit able. I fear, to use 1t unless 1t can be obtaired from weed ashes or possibly from cottonseed meal which contains from to ? per cent potash.
 Generally speaking, spring planting is to be preferred in this state because of the freezes which occure during the winter and quite often lift the plants out of the soil. In setting the plants the crown or bud should be set on level with the top of the soil Set the plants from IS inches to two feet apart. Cultivation should begin as soon as growth begins in the spring for newly set plantings and continue until growth stops in the fall. Con- fine the plants fairly we'll to the row, say in from 15 to IS inches in width. The plantings had best be renewed every two or three years

Spray for San Jose scale Now-Nery
 Important

Spray for San Jose scale Now Very
 Important
 Possibly there is no other pest that is doing so much damage to Arkansas fruit trees today as the San Jose Scale and 1t is necessary to spray we'll in order to make a profit from thou sands of acres of orchards during the coming season, Is the opinion of Geo. G. Becker. State Entomologist with the University of Arkansas, who says:
 "Anv time from now on until the leaves begin to make their appear apce will be suitable for spraying for the San Jose Scale Farmers should be making preparation to see that the spraying machinery IS in order and also that materials on hand for the purpose of making lime sulphur sol ution or kerosene emulsion. Lime sulphur solution IS a standard insect leide and IS more commonly used for the San Jose Scale It can be bought from any dealers in spraying mater ials but any farmers desiring to make their own lime sulphur solution will find directions in Bulletin No 107 of the Arkansas Agricultural EXperi- ment Station The most important point to be observed in spraying for the San Jose Scale is the thoroughness in application. Only those scale in- sects are killed which are actually hit by the spraying solution and 1t should be remembered that every scale insect which escapes the spraying solution may mean many thousands during the course of the next season. Spraying for the San Jose Scale is more import ant now than ever before because of the fact that states are beginning to pass legislation to prohibit the intro auction of fruit which is infested with this insect. Since the fruit is the first usually to be infested 1t becomes apparent that thoroughness IS nec- essary."

Commercial Straw berry Growing

There is possibly no other industry along fruit lines that has taken greater impetus within the past few years than has that of commercial strawberry growing. From few small plantings as such points as Judsonia, Van Buren and Horatio tie industry has spread over quite large territory in the state and new plant ings are being made every year. The strawberry natures early the season and usually commands a fair price for this reason. IL puts money into the farmers pockets at time of year when u is very much needed. Last year White County alone shipped over 600000 dollars worth of berries to northern markets
 The strawberry thrives on great variety ef soils but is possibly at its best on the rather fertile gravelly leam soils 1 have seen them growing seemingly to perfection on soils that were so rocky that very little SOIL could be seen. Such soils seem to be retentive to moisture and they have the advantage of preventing the Der ries from becoming covered with dirt during the heavy rains. Onemlstake
 often made is in the planting ot berries on the poor run down soils that do not possess the necessary plant

Drainage Engineer Helping Farmers
 Without Cost

During January surveys, examina- lions and reports were made for far mers on farm drainage projects cover inp 1875 acres. Examinations and re- ports on district drainage projects totaling 385,000 acres were made and investigations regarding soil water m undrained land and also investlga- lions concerning the maintenance of district ditches were made. The value of drainage in increasing land values and opening up tracts of apparently useless land has been thoroughly de- monstrated in Arkansas and the far mers over the state are showing thelr interest in taking advantage of the fact that O G. Baxter, Senior Dram age Engineer with the Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering in the U. S. Department ofAgrlculture, IS eeoperating with the Extension D1vl- sion through the county agents Tn an effort to help not only with drainage projects involving great tracts of land but by giving advice to farmers who have only few acres that need dram ing in order to make It possible to eal- tivate most profitably some of the richest soil usually found on the farm We are glad to announce that MT Baxter will put on special drainage demonstrations wherever requested with the assistance of the county agents in order to show the farmers the value and methods of draining the wet spots on their farms. In speak ing of the work, MT. Baxter says:
 We shall be glad to help any far mer in Arkansas who wishes to drain the wet spots on his farm. We will take care of all requests coming through the county agents and We believe the work will be of benefit to hundreds of farmers. It has been de eided to handle the work through the county agents because these agents understand local conditions and can make preliminary arrangements and help plan for successful demon stration without taking too much tune on the part of the engineer Tn charge The value of open ditch or tile drain age for number of farms of the state cannot be over estimated. Everyone recognizes the fact that vet spots properly drained and cultivated are often the best lands we have. For further information, write to the EX- tension Division, Old State House, Little Rock.

WALL STREET SHOWS
TECHNICAL STRENGTH
Intention Of Insiders to Advance
Prices Clearly Indicated.

New York, Aug. 13.-several things
happened in Wall Street today indi-
eating an intention OF insiders to ad-
vance the market. II has been well
known for some time that the mar
ket is in good technical condition for
an advance.
Perhaps the most encouraging thing
was the conclusion at Washington Of
tho Federal investigation of coal An
nouncement to this effect came late
in the day and under its influence the
market closed strong. President VII
son now has the coal reporS. An
nouncement Of the price, or at least
a policy, in the handling ot coal may
be expected in the near future. This
is Important because, In the first
place, 1t marks the beginning OF some
thing definite being done at Washing
ton, and, in the second place, people
Of the Northwest who must put IN
their coal early on account OF the
weather, have been unable to get

the dividend means a little more than
