BETTER FARMING HINTS
GARDEN WORK FOR MAY

| With the month of May usual | ly comes warm weather and con sequently all of the tender vege ! tables, such as tomatoes, egg plants, peppers. cucnmbers. squa> hes and lima beans may be planted Plant early in the month and stir the soil every week or ten days to conserve the moisture and destroy the grass es and weeds. Make additional planting of radishes, lettuce, beans, peas, and cabbage so that they will be ready for use when the early planted vegetables are gone.
 NATIONS FOR MULES
 The ration Of our Arkansas mules can be greatly cheapened and more nearly balanced by substituting cotton seed meal for 3 to $ per cent of the corn where non-leguminous hays ase used for roughage. The feed will not only be made better but this use of cotton seed meal will furnish an outlet for the states own product which will add to the ap- pearance and service of every working animal in the state which is not now receiving a bal. anced ration.
 FORMULA FOR SPRAYING To kill the small plant lice which attack roses, chrysanthe- nuns, peas, cabbage and plum trees. J. s. Knox. Horticultu rist of the University of Arkansas, advises the following remedy: Prepare spray with a tobacco solution known as "Black Leaf 40" using about one part of the solution to 800 parts of water. Be sure to spray thoroughly since only the insects hit by the liquid will be killed. Two spray ings will usually suffice. PRODUCE GOOD HOT WEATHER
 EGGS
 To obtain the best result in egg production during the warm weather. first provide plenty of clean nests, having one nest for every four hens and keep the straw clean. Gather the eggs twice daily during the warm, rainy weather. Keep the eggs in cool, dry place and market | them rot less than twice week | during the hot weather. Dispose of the rooster as soon as the matching season is over and pro | duce lnfertile eggs. Preserve eggs for the family for winter use the same day they are laid. | Remember only clean (not wash | ed) fresh. un-cracked eggs can l be preserved.

LAND TENURE IN
ARKANSAS SUBJECT
OF NEW BULLETIN

Fayetteville, Ark, Sep, 10.
Arkansas owes it to herself
and to the nation in these
tremendously important days OF
reconstruction, to inaugurate
and follow out a constructive
policy with reference to its land,
whether forest area, power sites,
mineral resources, or farm
lands states D. E. G.. Nourse,
formerly professor of economies
and sociology in the University
of Arkansas, in a bulletin just
published by the University OH
"A Preliminary Survey of Land
Tenure in Arkansas.
There are problems a-plenty,
problems of old plantation
days and problems of new
pioneer development, wide
variety due to a diversity Of soil,
climate, and social conditions.
They should be met as prompt
ly as possible by a constructive
policy which will mean in some
cases legislative action; but
practical measures will be safe
and helpful only in proportion
as they are based upon searching
study OF the specific problems
which confront US
The bulletin takes up the
question of soils, climate and
crops, government and state
lands, private ownership, ten
ancy, and other problems OF
vital interest to all citizens OF
the state, and especially to farm
ers. Copies may be obtained
upon application to the Presi.

secure is q real. live genuine
sky=pilot. Rev. Hagh Robert
son, who was induced to leave
his Pensioners at MeGehce fer
the duration OF the Fair, that he
might lead the thoughts of Fair
visitors heavenWard, is a minis
ter that would make good in any
community appreciative OF
hardihood and genuine man
hood.
Mr.. Robertson, in spite of his
hoyish appearance has had a
mans experiences. Born and
reared at Marianne and educat-
ed in Arkansas College of Bates
vile he may be Counted an Ark
ansas product. His theological
training was obtained in the
Union Theological Seminary at
Richmond, Va. where he won the
fellowship given for the best ali
round man Of this class.
When war was declared he
was pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church Of Mercedes, Texas. He
entered the aviation service and
received his training at Filing
ton Field at Houston and Bell
vile Field at st. Louis. His work
was SO good that he was made
an instructor and kept at this
work until the close Of the war.
He flew over from McGenee
last Tuesday morning making
the trip in fifteen minutes, there
by giving practical demonstra-
ton Of the value of the airplane
as a time saver. Each day he
has given exhibition flights and
has taken a number of people in
to the sky to the tune Of $40 for
len minutes. 1t is worth it if
if you have the spendulicks to
spare.

old ways is out of the question
To say that any one Of the pa5t
factors of control have The coz
centrated wisdom necessary -
bring harmony out OF chaos, Is,
in the presence of everyday oc-
curences, a wild fight OF pre-
dictions with no foundation OF

The Great Factors
We must first have an iaspir-
ed harmonious understanding
of conditions, and will to give
to every man his dues. The most
important factor is GOVERN
MENT which must be admins
tered upon an honest, logical.
business basis. Politians, a.
such, and men whose acts are
controlled solely by party pre-
cedent or interest must surreH-
der their hold on public affairs.
TranspOrtation-Public Utilize
The railroads and other
means of transportation must
be adequate to our needs and al
ways available for our uninter-
rupted use.
When equity prevails, h9#
can it become necessary or pos
sible for these or any other clas
of labor to organize, demand
and act without regard to the
rights and necessities of other
members of the community. T.
we reverse the problem and the
farmer, with some object Ia

better his condition without con

No single element in the devel-
ment of rural communities is Of
greater Importance than that cf
power and its transmission.
It's need is universal and
should be made available to the
humblest citizen upon a MINI
mum basis of cost. Produce and
deliver power and you at once
stimulate all kinds OF manufac-
ture and mining. and furnish t.
agricultural sections the means
for rapid and substantial deval-
opment.
