DEPTH OF GARDEN SOIL SHOULD
 BE INCREASED

The greater portion of the gardens in Arkansas do not average more than six inches in depth, which is not enough to prevent burning out during summer drouth, states Mrs. Eliza beth Temple, district home demon stration agent for north central Ar kansas To insure more moisture for next years garden the soil should be plowed deeper.
 To add fertility, scatter on the sur face several loads of well routed ma nure, and scrapings from the barn yard, chicken house or chip yard. Turn this under, breaking the soil about two inchs deeper than before If the soil is turned b efore January 15, it is a good plan to sub-soil, run ming single stock blow behind the turning blow, cutting through the inn pervious sub-soil. This will give the plant roots deeper feeding ground and will give greater reservoir for stor- ing moisture to be used during the growing season.
 Freezes and thaws in Jaunary and February will tend to improve the tex ture of the soil and will destroy many insect pests which are harbored in the soil during the winter.
 A systematic blowing of the garden deeper each year will if carried out over period of years produce gar dens deep enough that droughts will not greatly affect them.

Foreign Advertising Representative THE EAMERlCAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
JUDGE COTTON VARIETY BY
 AMOUNT OF LINT PER SEED

It is not a good practice to judge a cotton variety by the gin turn out, according to authorities on cotton va >Iieties It is a general practice for the cotton grower to choose variety because of high percentage of lint o1 a large gin turn out"
 ssIt can be shown that the per cent of lint is not nearly so important as has enerally been supposed", says E. A. Hodson, agent in cotton market ing demontrations of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Ar kansas, flor after all the farmer is chiefly interested in large quantity of lint"
 "A better means by which to meas ure the alue of variety, contin- ues MT. Hodson, Sis by the amount of lint per seed, which has been called the lint index by the United States Department of Agriculture. By this measure Lone Star cotton with 36 per cent of lint has nearly twice as much actual fiber per boil as Half and Half cotton which produces A per cent of lint. It would take 65,00J bolls of Lone Star, producing 36. per cent of lint to make 800 pound bale, while it would take 10000 bolls of Half and Half to produce the same amount of lint.
 "There is a difference of 45,000 bolls to be picked per bale Tn favor of the Lone Star and in addition there is also a much smaller quantity of seed produced per acre by the Half and Half. A bale of Lone Star will pro- duce 950 pounds of seed and bale of Half and Half about 750 pounds-a difference of 200 pounds, worth s6 on a basis of $30 ton, in favor of Lone Star With a good stand, eight to 10 boils to the plant will yield bale of Lone Star to the acre. With Half and Half, 16 to IS bolls per plant are nec- essary to secure a bale to the acre.
 Under equal opportunities of soil and culture, the Lone Star variety will produce as much or more lint per acre as Half and Half and in addition the lint commands premium. What has been said of Lone Star will also apply to other standard varieties like Rowden, Acala and the better strains. of Triumph"

must be financd by the business in- terests of the state in their own de- fense. J. R. Alexander, president of 900 is absolutely necessary at this time to put it over. The association is emphasizing the necessity of ware housing to protect cotton from country damage and to enable the owners to market gradually. It IS also contending for the employment of expert graders and classers and the concentration of samples at some central point. This will, in itself, save million of dollars to the farm CTS of the state, will standardize their product and insure steady marketing instead of the uncertain and unstable market which has pre- vailed for several months.
 "Cotton is not marketed in Arkan- sas," said President Alexander, "It is simply thrown away. It cannot be marketed properly until we nave-am- organization of growers such as we propose and have warehouses of ann pie capacity for every bale raised in the state. We need central ware houses for samples where buyers may secure definite information of every bale offered for sale. It is an extremely serious, in fact, critical situation we are facing today. It is everybody's job and those who lay down and give up are not helping us solve problems. We've got to have men and money behind this thing to make it go or we're all ruined to- gether.

EXTENSION SERVICE WILL AID FARMERS IN KEEPING AC-
 COUNT

The extension Division of the Col lege of Agriculture, University of Arkansas at Fayetteville will be glad to keep accounts for farmers who are willing to cooperate with Extension workers. Blank forms for entering accounts and instructions will be sent to all who ask for them. The ac- counts will be sent to A. D. McNair, specialist in Farm Management, who will correct them and return them with suggestions.
 It is time for the farmers to be more business like, declares Mir. McNair and one day to dothis is to keep ac- counts of the farm business. There is no expense attached to this service rendered because it is an enterprise of the College of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agri- culture.

point where President Wilson permit

Count Won Bernstorff, former German
Ambassador at Washington, at a mass
meeting Of university students in q
discussion of the nations foreign

Won Bernstorff declared that the
President had merely touched upon the
problem of negotiating a just peace,
but failed to solve it.
"For us, the question is: Does the
Versailles peace represent the feast
and cruel orgy of bygone era" the
former ambassador continued, "or arc
we to experience new imperialistic
catastrophes?
Touching on current occurrences
in Washington, the former ambassador
warned his auditors against misinter-

Justice Elected in 1911,
Following Appointment
by Governor Dix, Quits
Bench for Law Practice
Creates Two Vacancies

Olvany and George Giles.
pie Mentioned for Places

Justice Francis Key Pendleton, Of
the Supreme Court, announced yester-
day he had submitted his resignation
to Governor Smith, effective April l..
Justice Pendleton, who was elected in
1911, following brief tenure on the
bench under appointment by Governor
Dix, will return to private practice as
member Of the law firm of Pendleton,
Anderson, Iselin & Riggs.
"1 have had it in contemplation for
q long time," said Justice Pendleton,
"but as have case on hand at trial
and some judicisl work to complete 1
have set the date of severance with
the judiciary at April l."
Before becoming a justice of the
Supreme Court Mr.. Pendleton had held
the Office of Corporation Counsel of
the City Of New york, being appointed
to that office by Mayor George B. Nc
ClellsA.
Two Vacancies to Fill
With the death of Justice P. Henry
Dugro and the resignation Of Justice
Pendleton Governor Smith will have
two vacancies to fill until the end Of
the year, with elections for the full
fourteen-year term to be held next
November. Already there are several
men mentioned for the places.
One of the strongest candidates is
said to be Thomas W. Churchill. for
mer member Of the Board of Educa-
tion; another is George w. Olvany,
now chief counsel to Sheriff Knott, and
a third possibility Is George J. Gill
lespie. These men are all we'll known
lawyers and members of Tammany
Hall, outside of which Governor Smith
is not likely to go in making his ap-
pointments.
Luce's Name Mentioned
While the name of former Justice
Robert L. Luce also is mentioned, it
is not regarded as probable that after
his defeat last fall for election to the
Supreme Court, where he was serving
for few months under appointment,
and his defeat few years ago for
election to the City Court, the
Governor will put Mr.. Luce on the
bench, which would mean his candi-
dacy again next fall. Although it is a
rule in politics that when man is
defeated at an election he is next in
line when an appointment is made to
fill vacancy, this rule is not ex-
pected to hold in the case of Mr.. Luce
or in the case of Irwin Untermyer, son
of Samuel Untermyer, decisively de-
feated as a candidate for the Supreme
Court last fall.

BOSTON, March 8.-The trustees of

ciety may not be controlled by the
directors of the Mother Church, the
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
the opinion Of Judge Frederic Dodge,
whose finding as master in the Chris
tian Science suits was filed with the
Supreme Judicial Court Of Massachu-
setts to-day. The master also finds that
the directors had no legal right to
remove John v. Dittemore from their
own board or Lamont Rowlands from
the board Of trustees.
Tho original draft Of the masters
findings was prepared two months ago,
and since then counsel for the directors
has sought to reopen the case so far
as it affected Dittemore and also to
have the findings amended. These re-
quests were refused
The directors already have indicated
that they proposed to continue the
fight before the full bench Of the State
Supreme Court.
As soon a. the masters report was
filed the members Of the board Of di-
reotors, with the exception OF Mr.. Dit
temore, issued = statement declaring
in part.
"1n the suit brought by the trustee g
Of the Christian Science Publishing
Society against the directors of the
Mother Church the master has now
filed report of his findings and con-
clusions. Much Of the report is un-
favorable, bat 1t is not final decision;
1t is subject to review by the Supreme
Judicial Court of Massachusatta. At
least some months are likely to elapse
before their final decision can be OBJ

Mr; Dodge, who formerly was judge
OF the United States Circuit Court

Lorlng. OF the Supreme Court, to de-
termine the facts at issue, and also to
interpret two deeds of trust made in
1892 and 1898, respectively, by Mary
Baker Eddy, founder of the Christia n
Science Church. In the first trust deed
Mrs. Eddy named four trustees. since

Pablo Casals Pleases
Throng at Aeolian Hall
Spanish Musician at His Best,
Called Equal of
Kreisler

Pablo Casals is still the prince Of
'cellists, and the knowledge that he is
such was what filled Aeolian Hall to
overfiowing yesterday afternoon. Tho
Spanish musician was at his best as to
warmth and size Of tone, brilliRncy Of
technique and poetic imagination. To
hear him play the Bach G Major Suite
was an education for all 'callists, it
was SO poised, so sure, so, serene.
The Locatelli D Major Sonata gave
him splendid opportunity to display
the vigor and elasticity of his bowling,
and in the shorter numbers, in the
Seven Variations on Mozart Theme
of Beethoven, in the Arioso Of Bach
and the Allegro Spritoso Of Senaille
the same qualities were apparent.
Hearing him yesterday we did not
wonder that Pablo Casals has been
called the equal Of Fritz Kreisler, and
it was evident that that opinion was
shared by the huge audience.
