AdjOurns Court TiH
 McRae Is Inducted

Conway Get. 22.-Announcing that the adjourned term of Faulk- ner Circuit Court, set for Novem- Der 3, will not be held until after the induction of T. c. McRae as governor, Judge George. w. Clark of the Seventeenth judicial district today issued statement to Conway newspapers in which he charged that the governors use of the pardoning power is making a mockery of the honest efforts of officers to en- force the law," and that to hold a court session before January first would be needless waste of funds for which he does not care to be responsible. The adjourned term will be merged with the regular January sitting, and criminal cases carried over to prevent the present governor having opportunity to in terfere.
 In his charge to the grand jury last July, Judge Clark attacked the present governor for his alleged mis- use of the pardoning power, and again early this month, when pardon was issued to F. Bruce Garrett of Clarendon while his ap- peal was pending in the Supreme Court. Judge Clark presided at Garrett's trial, and as soon as the pardon was issued, declared that the defendant would be tried on other charges, but after the inau- guration of Judge McRae.
 Judge Clark's statement to the press is as follows:
 First the purpose of holding this adjourned term was to dispose of certain criminal cases then on the docket, but l have reached the con- clusion that it is needless waste of public funds to try criminal cases where the party accused of crime has influential friends or is able to employ pardon attorneys to se- cure pardons. My experience upon the bench has taught me that after convictions have been obtained in the Circuit Court, appeals prayed and granted and the judgment of the lower court affirmed by the Supreme Court, after which the granting of pardon would appear too rank, a stay of execution is granted from time to time and the sentence of the court is set aside. In other instances, pardons are be- ing granted regardless of the ques- tion of guilt and the total absence of any valid reason why the same should be done.
 "Under these conditions it is mak- ing a mockery out of the honest efforts of the officers to enforce the law, and is heaping increased burdens on the taxpayers of this county without the slightest hope of accomplishing anything except to cause the people to pay more taxes and to sacrifice their time in serving on juries.
 "There will be change in the governors office in January, and I think we can reasonably expect a decided improvement. We know it cannot be worse.
 "All persons indicted for misde- meanors who wish to enter plea of guilty, can do so on Wednesday, October 26, at eight o'clock"

LINGO COUNTS

The smart young automobile sales man was trying to sell car to a farmer who swore he would never set foot in one of the pesky things. Other salesmen had tried and had failed.
 'Now, MT. Cornsilk." spoke the young man, "this bar here is the 'giddap' rod. This iron thing here is the who pedal. The other one is the back pedal. This tin box is the feed bag. Of course this jigger here is the reins. Perfectly simple. I'd like to sell you this little nag"
 The farmer stroked his chin and looked like man about to make an important decision. "Well, I dunna. young man, I might say yes, if you'd throw in a whip"

PULvERIzE THE SEED BED

The ideal seed bed on which to plant the seed for growing crops is one that has been plowed deep- wei lpulverized, and we'll competed, , full of decaying vegetable matter, according to circular No. 94, re- gently published by the Agricultural Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, outlining soil fer tility program for Arkansas.
 Preparation of good seed beds is one of the important steps in adding soil fertility to increase crop yields Good seed beds can be obtained by more extensive and judiciuos prep aration of the soil in the fall. Deep fall blowing followed by a winter cover crop to be turned under in the spring will add greatly to the fertility of the soil.
 Special attention should be given to the preparation of seed beds in the spring. The use of more inn proved implements, such as three or four mule blows, and the judS- cious use of the disc and harrow add much in securing good seed beds.
 When adopting the system of deep blowing, care should be exercis- ed so that the required depth Is reached gradually, especially where any portion of a clay subsoil Is turned up. The depth should be increased a little each year. Plenty of vegetable matter incorporated with the soil, and blowing a little deeper each year will soon increase the depth of the seed bed and the feeding portion of the soil for the roots of the crop to beplanted.

The kind-hearted minister was ex- postulating with the landlord who had raised the poor parishioners rent about three hundred and thir- teen per cent.
 "If I want to hear you preach,' 2 said the landlord angrily, "I'll come to church, where you should do your preaching, and listen to you there"
 "If you were where you should be-" was the dignified reply, "you would have that opportunity next Sunday. I am to preach at the States Prison p'-Life.

FIGHTING THE WEEVIL.

An announcement from the county
agent in Brooks county is to the eff
feet that the farmers are already be-
ginning the fight on the 1921 boil
weevil in that section. AS a part of
the program to reduce the danger
and loss from the weevils ravages the
farmers are ploughing under the cot
ton stalks as soon as the crop can be
gathered. The report is that the far
merS are generally adopting this SIM
pie method of preventing the reap
pearance of the weevil next year in
as large numbers as those visiting the
cotton fields this season.
Many methods have been tried out
methods which give the plant less
susceptibility to attack from the wee
vii, methods which make conditions
less favorable for the thriving of the
pest, methods of actual destruction
of theweevil after he makes his APP
pearance. Planting early-maturinr
varieties of cotton to dodge the wee
vii has helped somewhat; spraying
with chemical poison to kill thewee-
vii in the fields has done some good,
actual manipulating of the pests and
burning them up has been another
slow and tedious method tried.
From the best sources of authority
the turning under of the cotton stalks
seems to do more good than anything
else that can be done practically. The
Brooks tounty farmers believe this to
dc be true at any rate and they are
ploughing their cotton fields the mo-
ment the last locks are picked out
