TEACHERS PAY INCREASED
Texarkana Board Grants Raise of from
 12 to 3S Per Cent.

Texarkana May 15.-The Arkansas side School Board has increased sal aries of teachers in the high school 12 per cent and in some grades in the graded schools as much as 3S per cent. It also voted to have a full year ses- sion of the schools, the teachers to be paid one-twelfth of their annual sal aries each month. It was also decided that in the employment of teachers, preference should be given to outside teachers over home teachers as in case of unsatisfactory service the former could be- more readily dispensed with, and it was also the view of the board that "the presence of newcomers among the children has better psy- choligical effect on them" The pay roll for the ensuing term will be $57 ,615, an increase of $14, ,000 over last year.

 Sorghum is not hard to raise here and the syrup is easy to make. The cane is stripped in the field cut and hauled to the mill. These mills oper- ate for toll and are portable There is one in each peighborhood, and this is moved from place to place until the crop in that neighborhood is worked mn

# is Necessary to Run
 the Harrow Over Land Now

l (By Geo. M. Johnston, County Agent)
 The recent heavy rains has washed and packed the land to such an extent that it is very necessary to run the harrow over the land tt once to restore life and conserve moisture.
 Just a soon as rains cease and the land began to dry out large quantities of moisture and plant food will leave the soil through evaporation unless you keep it in the soil by efficient use of the harrow
 The Gee Whiz or Spring tooth har- row is splendid complement to pull verize the surface of the soil. Spread this complement out to just fit between the rows So that it will cover the en- tire middle Go one time to the row this will cover all the surface and will prevent the land from crusting and will conserve moisture and plant food This method will enable you to get over your fields very quickly and will leave the ground in good condition for , the blows to do efficient work later If the rains should continue this method would give the growing crop a very good cultivation and at the same time kill some vegetation
 By all mean start to harrow just as soon as your teams can get on the fields it will help the crop and save plant food,

HOOVER TALKS OH SUGAR
 AND LABOR SHORTAGE
Advocates RatiOning and [. $. Control Through Commercial
 Methods.

Washington, May 15.-Herbert Hoov- CT, former food administrator and can didate for the Republican nomination for president, gave his views to Con- gress today on the sugar and industr- ial situation.
 Appearing before House commit tee Investigating the sugar situation, MT. Hoover declared that the world shortage was likely to continue two or three years. The pressing need is ra- tioning, he said, with immediate gov ernment action to control the supply through commercial, not legal meth- eds.
 Although the hearing related pr1- marily to the action of Attorney Gen. e1al Palmer in approving maximum price for the Louisiana crop, it reached out into a broader field. MT. Hoover said that the government should have
 bought the Louisiana crop should have pocketing the loss, or else selling to the luxury trade at an advance.
 Earlier in the day MT. Hoover, who
 was member of President Wilson's second industrial conference, told the Senate Labor Committee he did not
 believe the rationship between en-
 ployers and empoyes could be settled by any form of legal repression, whether it be by injunction, compul- sorry arbitration or industrial courts, He said labor unquestionably had been
 affected by reports of the excessive profits of some employers, although
 he was emphatic in saying that unlike
 Europe, the United States had not
 been threatened by any attempt by
 labor leaders to use the strike as political weapon.
 Answering multitude of questions
 on the Louisiana sugar crop and po- 1 litical situation MT. Hoover said he
 had no knowledge of his own on the
 subject, but that 1t influenced Cuban
 producers to stimulate prices, and that i except for it the rise in prices would have been less rapid.
 Mr. Hoover disagreed with the at torney generals policy Prices never could be fixed by threates of jail.
 He said that prohibition had stimulat-
 ed the use of sugar in the manufacture of sweet drinks, and thus had added to tke drain on stocks needed for home sumption.
