SOIL 0F BREW SURVEYED BY
 GOVERNMENT
CLASSIFICATION AS TO hlND AND CROP ADAPT ABILITY.

10 determine the nature of soil types in Drew county, Ark aasas, in order that local farm CTS may be assisted in fitting crops to soils 10 best advantage, the Bureau of Soils of the U. s. Department of Agriculture has made q soil survey of the coQn- iy. The report of the survey. Ijqst published by tne depart ment contains colored soil maD of the county showing the ap- proHiriate location Of farms and the extent and distribution of the various soil types. The re- port contains 48 pages of tex, describing the various soils and discussing their capabilities. + also includes brief historical and geographical sketch of the region, together with statistics relating to the climate and farm practices.
 Sixteen distinct soil types. representing nine soil series, are mapped in Drew county. Of the upland soil the Orangeburg and 2Gston types are we'll suited to tfaek crops and certain orchard fruits, as well as the general fam crops. The suscuehanna soil ale best adapt ed to the production of forage crops, and gre well suited to stock raising The Crowley silt loam occurs in the southern part ef the county. It is the typical prairie soil of this see ton and is we'll suited to the staple crops of the region. in- cg9ding oats and wheat. Tie flatWoods comprise large areas of the Gaddo silt loam, and the Lufkin silt Ioam, and areas of the Ruston silt loam. Although cotton and corn are successfully grown on the Caddo silt loan, its best use is for forage crops and stock raising. This soil is also well adapted to rice produc- ton, for which 1t Is extensively used in other parts of the State and in Louisiana. The Lufkin silt loam is not cultivated on account of it's poor drainage. IL is successfully used for rice ia other sections. The Ruston sill foam Is extensively used for the production of the staple crops. including corn, cotton, oats, and fruit, for which it is well suited. h general, the soils of Drew county are deficient in organic matter, as a result of continuous cropping to cotton and corn. This condition can be remedied by adding manure, by introduc- Ing to include the legumes, and by green manuring.

NEW PHASE OF UNIVERSITY EX.
 TENSION WORK
ANY C 0 M NJ l. NIFTY CAN SECURE INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC TALENT.

One of the most encouraging features of the modern educa- tlonal movement is that it is now recognized that il is the duty of colleges and universities to reach as large a number of the people as possible, not simplf to train an intellectual aristoc raey. The state universities especially have caught this vision of service and through the use of the extension depart ment are yearly extending their work along new and broader lines.
 Arkansas University wishes 10 serve the state in this effective way. The latest movement they have undertaken is that ol lending the artistic and intel leclual talent of the University / to communities desirogs of secur- ing such entertainment as thev are prepared to furnish. This is a very fine way for schools. clubs and societies to secure high class entertainments at d very small cost. We reproduce below the University announce. ment.

Theodore Roosevelt, are en- deaVoflng 10 make it of a verv Intensive character. They are hoping through the schools, the churches and the press to bring the matter before all the think ing men, women and children of the country. It is their hope that on Monday, October 27th the anniversary of the birth Of Theodore Roosevelt, everywhere throughout our great nation, even Tn the most remote com. munities, there shall be public meetings of a commemorative nature held.
 These meetings in themselves Will be a splendid memorial to the late ex-president for it is planned to have speakers who Wall pay tribute to his character lstlc fearlessness, his high sense of honor, his aggressive right eousness and his intense love of country. Then an opportunity Will be given any who wish to make q contribution to the fund that is being raised for per manent memorial to Col.

 The National Committee of the Association nave determin. ed that the funds obtained shall be expended along three definite lines. First thy propose to im- prove the land that has beer given at Oyster Bay for a Roose- Welt Memorial Park; second, to erect a monumental memorial in Washington which will rank with the Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial; third the establishment of the Roose- welt Society to carry on the Roosevelt spirit of Americanism and to perpetuate and keep alivv the uncompromising patriotism of which he was so essentially the exponent.
 This movement has met with hearty response from all over the county North and South. East and West. from Dem ocrats as well as fror. Republicans. There are few in .I
 this section of the country who agreed with Col. Roosevelt in politics but there were many who gladly pay tribute to him as a soldier, as leader in the awakening of the social con science of the country, as a student nd writer, as the ag. gressive exemplar of the strenu- ous life, and lastly as the great patriot who even in his advanced years was anxious to fight for his country and when this op- portunity was denied him showed the nation how a father could dedicate with holy joy all his sons to his beloved land.
 Now that he is gone we cal afford to pass lightly over his faults, his stinging and oftimes thoroughly, partisan criticisms of the present administration. which we resented because we felt them so unjust and so un. worthy of the man making them.

UNCLE SAM HAS BIG
APPETITE NOW FOR

BETWEEN TWENTY AND TWEEN
TY-FIVE MILLION BOND BUY.
Frs TAKE ELEVEN Bill
LION IN YEAR.

Pessimists who shake their heads
and Join the chorus of Il dunno" boys
al the prospect of floating a Fifth Lib
erty Loan in April are given food for
thought in some figures which have
recently been compiled by officials OF
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington-
The figures give us some idea of
just how big an appetite for safe in
vestment this country has attained in
its war-year
Some of the more striking Of the
figures referred TO follow:
A bond market which had less
than 100000 customers two years
ago had at the close Of 1918 be-
tween 100000 and 2s.ooo, 900
buyers
The army Of buyers absorbed
S11,165,565, $50 worth Of bonds in
Liberty Bonds alone in 1918.
In the two years Of the war
counting the first and second Lib
erty Loans which were fioated In
1e17-these bond buyers diaested
total Of sts,s74 ,s2s,sso Liberty
Bonds.
A further development which has
the optimistic turn is the market
which bond dealers find right now for
every sort q bonds-municipal
school, industrial. etc Bond dealers
are selling out all legitimate offerings
with such celebrity that they are con-
tinually seeking about the country for
new issues to market.
This healthy condition of the bond
market is explained, perhaps, by the
fact that the entire Indebtedness of
the United States today amounts to
slightly less than per cent of the
estimated national wealth. The ma
tional debt amounts to only about
$40 per capita.
Some of the national debts are:
Great Britain, 443 per cent of nation.
al wealth or 1850 per capita; France.
per cent of national wealth or
s296.90 per capita; Austria, 1896 per
cent Of national wealth or S242. 80 per
capita; and Germany. 1877 per cent of
national wealth or $305.s0 per capita.
These figures on Germany are exclu-
sive OF the ninth war loan, accurate
returns Of which never were had. and
IN the cases Of both Austria and Ger
many no account is taken Of any in
IDENTITIES which those nations may
have to pay.
Japan is the only big nation which |
has lower per capita debt in relation |
70 its wealth than the United States.
