ARkANsANs ASTONiSHED AT THE METHODS OF BIG PRODUCERS
 OF SOUTHEAST.
CULTIVATE LAND EVERY WEEK
1t Is the Usual Practive 70 Cultivate the Land Until There Is Danger of Injurins Limbs. and Then
 To Stop.

Little Rock. It was amusing to see the astonishment Of the Arkansas men at the methods of cultivating cot ton and corn used by the producers oi large yields in Georgia and the Caro- !inas, according to H. M. Cottrell. az riculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce.
 At least one member Of our party laid by his cotton with middle bust CT run deep between the rows, says MT. Cottrell Many others had their cotton and corn rows ridged up as high as can be done conveniently. Gull tivation in Georgia and the Carolinas is just as level as it is possible to make it. The growers of one and one-half to three bales of cotton an acre and 75 to 100 bushels of corn an acre say that they must have just as little surface as possible of the soil ex- posed during the hot weather of July and August and that they must have shallow cultivation that will permit the roots of the plants to extend from row to row Level, shallow cultiva- tion is the only kind that will meet fully these two needs.
 Many of the growers of high yields of corn go even farther. They plant corn in water furrows. A little soil is turned into the furrow at each cul- tivation and the furrow is filled level with the surrounding land at the last cultivation This system of farming Is made possible because thorough drainage is the beginning of the work of these growers in getting their big yields.
 Cultivation of both cotton and corn is not only level and shallow, but ire uuent. It is considered necessary to cultivate the land every week to 10 days Every farmer with whom talked told me how necessary 1t was to maintain good soil mulch on the land every day during the growing season to hold the moisture in the soil for the use of the plants. They said that whenever a crust formed on the soil while the plants were grow ing, the yield was reduced.
 Our party made the tour the first week August. Most of the cotton that we saw had been cultivated sev- en times; some of it nine times. Much of it was to be given one or two cultt- vations more. It is the usual practice Co cultivate until there is danger Of iniuring the limbs-then stop. One grower of two bales an acre said that where he could do so without damag- ing the limbs, he cultivated his cotton until the first bolls were ready to open"

Harold L. Ickes, Progressive Leader, Refuses to Support

SAYS "UNWORTHY AND UNFIT"I,
Republican Nominee Condemned as Standing for Boss Control-Has Mark Hanna Conception of
 Party--Worse Than
 Stand-Patter.

Harold l.. lckes, one of the organ. izers of the Progressive party in Illi-. nois, who was an Illinois delegate.at- large to the convention which nomi- mated Senator Harding for president and voted against making the nomina- tion unanimous. announced that he could not support Harding.
 Holding as l do that my duties and obligations as a citizen are paramount to my duties and obligations as party man. I have concluded to sup port the Democratic national ticket in this campaign said Mir. Ickes. " a signed statement. II shall continuA to affiliate with the Republican party. but l cannot in good conscience sup port for president candidate who was not 'the real choice of his party and whom I regard as unworthy and unfit to be the chief executive of this nation by the tests of ability, public policies, official record and independ- ence of character"
 Mir. IckeS declared the primaries showed that the Republican party did not want Harding as it's candidate. and that his nomination was "a dis tinct shock to the progressive thought of the country"
 Senator Harding had an opportu- nifty to repair the bad impression that his nomination created and his play acting in the Mckinley role kept alive by clear-cut and ringing speech of acceptance that would have lined him up squarely as a forward-looking, pro- excessively minded man." Mir. Ickes con tinued. But once more he failed sig nally.

 "Governor Cox's record Is dis tinctly progressive record" said Mir. Ickes. That record proves that he looks upon public office as an oppor- tunity for public service. He Is stand ing in this campaign upon what he has achieved along progressive lines ster the public welfare His eyes are to the front. fixed on the future. He.is not wabblng.
