FERTILIZERS FOR FALL GRAIN
 CROPS PAY.
By De F. Hungerford. Arkansas
 Experiment Station.

Arkansas must not only increase it's acreage of small grain, but every acre should be made to produce it's maxi mum yield. Experiments conducted by the College of Agriculture Of the University of Arkansas indicated that when prices are normal, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers can be used with profit on winter wheat. With prices such as they are at present the pro'- it's would be very much greater.
 Most of the soils of Arkansas are deficient in phosphorus. It Is recon mended that for upland soils which have not been manured recently. 4O0 pounds of a mixture containing equal parts of acid phosphate and cotton seed meal be used Nitrate Of soda at the rate of 100 pounds per acre may be used instead of the cotton seed meal on soils which are not too sandy For river bottom soils and the bet ter grades of upland soil. acid phos- ohate alone at the rate of 150 to 250 pounds per acre will give good re. suits.
 Raw rock phosphate has been found 70 yield profitable returns. but 1t is slower in it's action. sometimes requir- tns two or three years to produce re suits. In the present crisis. there fore, it Is urged that the more readily available acid phosphate be used in order that large. immediate returns may he had.

TO AMEND OUR
PENSION LAWS

Voters of Pulaski County:
In last weeks Pulaskian I promised
| to tell you of some of the things 1
stand for as candidate for the Leg
| islature.
My motto is, "Fewer Laws and Bet
ter Laws" But am mainly interest
ed in reforming our Confederate pen
sion statutes.
AS superintendent OF the Arkansas
Confederate Home I have passed on
more proofs of service for veterans
and widows than any other citizen
in the state for the five years have
| acted in that capacity.
I think can deal with matters
touching the Confederate soldier and
his widow with more sympathy and
understanding than anybody else in
the race for Representative.
I will tell you here that the pension
statutes need remedy. There are peo-
pie on the pension lists who have no
right to be there. All the pension fund
should be divided among only the per-
cause faithfully, and widows of the
same.
There are Confederate veterans in
Arkansas now who freely declare that
20 to 40 per cent of Confederate pen
sioners are unworthy This is an ex-
IRENE estimate, but I speak with some
knowledge of facts when I say there
are perhaps 10 per cent of pensioners.
not entitled to draw.
This fund is giant one, about nine
hundred thousand dollars a year. Ten
per cent of that sum is ninety thou
sand dollars.
Last year there were eleven thou
sand Confederate pensioners, half OF
them women, widows. There will be
Confederate pension fund in Arkan-
sas SO years from now, for the widow
now 40 will then be 80, and there are
lots of pensioners that old now. Thus
you see it is a far-reaching question.
Politicians are afraid of this ques-
ton; they fear to do right, lest they
will be misunderstood and hurt their
future. No man in the South is a bet
ter friend to the Confederate pension
er than |. am not afraid of the ques-
ton. have a remedy. can and will
push it through the General Assembly,
If I am elected. Space forbits me
| saying more on this great need. Let
us have sfewer laws and better laws"
c. p. NEWTON,
Candidate for Representative, Pulaski
County.
