legumes for soil improvement in 1921. In each case the varieties of seed are to be selected by the ex- pertinent station of the University of Arkansas and the seed to be tested before purchase.
 Ten other demonstrations will al- so be conducted in each county to show the value of legumes turned under in the fall of 1920 and their influence on the crops of 1921. The crop of cowpeas, orther legumes to be turned under are to be followed by winter cover crops also turned under and a record kept of the crops grown in 1921.

PROGRAM TO INCREASE THE
 SOIL FERTILITY OF ARK.

As a result of repeated confer
 ences eliminating in the work at
 the Farmers Short Course at the University of Arkansas, August IT, 20. and followed by conference between all of the county agents Of the state, M T. Payne, director of extension, all district farm demon stration agents, Dean Bradford
 Knapp and members of the agricul-
 tural faculty, big program for increasing the efficiency of Ar kansas agriculture has been prac- tically agreed to and has progressed so we'll that it is felt announcement can be made at this time.
 Much has been done by the ex- tension service, the experiment sta ton. and other branches of the College of Agriculture, as well as the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau, to call attention to the need of soil fertility in the state of Arkansas. All forces recognize that one of the great needs of the state is a better yield per acre in prac- tically all crops. The basis of agriculture is soil fertility. To keep the rich lands of Arkansas rich, and to build up the fertility of the poor lands should be the aim of each farmer and citi- zen of the state. To accomplish this end the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas sug- gests the following program
 First, prevent needless washing or erosion of Arkansas soils by add ing humus to the soil, deeper blow ing. winter cover crops, conforming, or blowing to prevent washing and, most important of all, by terrac- ing hillsides and proper drainage.
 Second, add humus to all soils in Arkansas by saving and applying all barnyard manure to the land and by growing legumes and winter cover crops of rye or other. small grains, to be plowed under for soil improvement.
 Third, improve the physical con dition of the soil, first by better fall preparation, improving the soil fertility by more fall blowing, fol lowed by cover crops on land where the succeeding crop IS to be cot ton, corn or forage, and second, by better spring preparation for plant ing, blowing deeper and better, preparing the seed bed, full of de caying vegetable matter, is ideal for the growing of crops.
 Fourth, plant only well selected seed of varieties adapted to the soil, climate and locality which has been bred for production and test ed before planting. '
 Fifth. increase the crop yield along with the other practices set forth, by the use of high grade com mercial fertilizer.
 Sixth, increase the yield pre- acre bv better and more systematic cul- tivation for the purpose of destroy ing weeds and grass and to aid Tn holding moisture during the drouth periods to which Arkansas is some what subject.

into effect through actual examples, under the belief that facts and specific examples visible to eye of the farmers will be much more val uable that bulletins, printed in structions and lectures. The coun-- ty agents will secure minimum of 10 demonstrations in cover crops in each county during the fall months to be plowed under in the spring of 1921 for crop production next year. To these demonstrations will be added a general educational campaign on the value of winter cover crops in holding the soil and adding humus.
 Tn addition to these at least ten demonstrations in the southern counties and five in the northern counties of the state will be con ducted on the use of the right va rieties of velvet beans, and other

COX MAKES DESPERATE
EFFORT IN NEW JERSEY
Putting Up Hardest Fight of Cam paign There,
Inspired by 'Joe Tumulty's
Enthusiasm

Those watchful eyes in the White
House would have glistened with sat
isfaction last night to have seen the
way the erstwhile downcast demo-
Gratis lifted up their heads-and like
wise their voices-when the candidate
came through with the banner of the
league leading forlorn hope.
GOV. Cox had wonderful reception
in thoroughly democratic commu-
nifty. Probably the most touching
who waited up at midnight at Ho
boken to greet him. The practical
effect of his visit to New Jersey is
calculated to arouse the democrats
to state of hope out of a state of
despair and consequent vigor of
action.
1t would be rash to predict that the
result will be changed in the cleo
ton. The republican plurality on the
electoral ticket may not be as large
as at first estimated, but all indica-
tions are that it will be sufficient to
put New Jersey, along with New
York, in the republican column in the
electoral college.
Pretty much the same conditions
apply in New Jersey as prevail in
New York. especially in the eastern
section of the state. The same argu-
of a big republican landslide in New
York state apply in only slightly
diminishing ratio to New Jersey.
Has Strenuous Day.
Gov. Cox is having a strenuous day
in New York city today, every hour
being filled with engagements to talk.
His reception is in favorable contrast
to that given him when he started,
several weeks ago on his country
wide trip.
Unquestionably the difference is due
to the sudden revival of hope among
the democrats. which is witnessed on
all sides. The democratic managers
have succeeded in putting out the
idea that the candidate has a
Chance" The effect, of course, is to
arouse enthusiasm.
And the philosophers do say that
there is no enthusiasm so contagious
and intense-if futile-as that which
comes when hope appears in the dark
est hour.
The republican managers are watch
ing the Cox ebulition very closely.
but without apprehension. There is
yet a week in which more can be
done, and next week the republicans
will set out to counteract the Cox
visit with a renewal of republican
campaigning.

BY n. O. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, October 23.-In one
last desperate effort to save New Jer-
sey at least from the threatened re-
publican landslide in the nation and to
prevent New York city from being
overwhelmed in it. Gov. Cox last night
and today is putting up the hardest
fight of his whole campaign. Whether
he succeeds or fails. it must be
handed to him that he is fighter
and a campaigner of parts.
He can be likened to a man who is
set upon by numbers and is determined
not to give up until he is beaten to a
pulp. He strikes out right and lett,
hits with the weapon nearest at hand.
kicks. scuff1es. now on top. now under
the heap, but ever dauntless and un-
diSmayed.
His foray into New Jersey, in the
face of existing circumstances. was the
dashing exploit of some famous cavai-
ry leader of the civil war-of Phll
kearney himself, or Gen. Forrest OF
the other side. 1t was leading for
lorn hope. a sweep through the enc
my's lines, slashing right and left and
capturing such prisoners as he might.
Two weeks ago the enterprise would
not have looked as hopeful. New Jer-
sey was not regarded as fruitful dem
ocratic territory by any one except
possibly Joe Tumulty. whose 1alth mas
never wavered. 1t would be a shrewd
guess that it was that fair-haired
Irish lad who instilled the candidate
with some of his faith and put the
power in his mitt. Anyhow, hope
bloomed and bloomed overnight with
the democrats under some ones nour-
ishment. This was evidenced by the
fact that the democratic factions got
together and backed Gov. Cox pub
Gcly.
Even the democrats who were disap-
pointed because their candidate had
not lived up to their platform of
making New Jersey as wet as the
Atlantic ocean" laid aside their griev-
ance on this score and got behind
him.
1t will be noted as significant that
all the collateral issues upon which
Gov. Cox was nominated have been
''scrapped" and there remains only the
one laid out in the beginning by the
President, and which Gov. Cox played
with the soft pedal at frst-the
league of nations. In New Jersey
last night the democratic factionists
told the candidate that the league is
the thing.

was there. Receiving no answer,
he said. he opened the door and
fired.

MINIMUM WAGE
FOR j. s. EMP[0YE
|NNEWPEnT|ON
H. D. Brown Outlines Sim
pIified Program He Will
Present to Congress.

A minimum wage for all govern
ment employees in the National Capital
was advocated today by Herbert D.
Brown. chief Of the United States bu-
reau of efficiency, in the first an
nouncement of the fundamental prin-
ciples which will distinguish the SIM
plif1ed reclassification program which
he will present to Congress.
Simplification Of the reclassification
program to the nth" degree is the
idea Of Mr.. Brown, in order that the
resulting report may be so concise
and simple that Congress will have no
difficulty whatever in handling the
matter without delay.
Somewhere Around $1,000.
A plank" for an adequate mini
mum wage will be one of the distin-
gushing features of the Brown re-
classification report. While the chief
of the efficiency bureau was not will
ing to make definite statement as
to minimum at this time, he de-
clared that it would be Somewhere
in the neighborhood Of $1,000"
This was not to be construed, how
ever, Mr.. Brown said, that his bureau
ure. as the work on this part of the
report is still in process of making.
Here are some .ak Chief. Browns
fundamsnta1 reconstruction prin-
ntbisa 4tda 10 proposes to give Con-
what brown Proposes.
Adequate salaries for the govern
ment employees, based on the cost
OF living Of the day.
A minimum wage for the entire
service.
Reduction Of pay roll titles to the
barest minimum.
AS an example of what the report will
do, Mr.. Brown declared that the classifi-
cation of the entire clerical service of
imately 20 per cent of the federal work
ers, could be contained on 1.-TWO sheets
Of paper
The personnel of the Treasury. State
and Post Office departments is classified
according to the bureau of efficiency
scheme, and Mr.. Brown stated that the
entire service would be so classified if
possible before Congress meets.
Goes Ahead With work.
In view Of the decision of the Attorney
General that the reclassification COM
mission is defunct, Mr.. Brown has gone
ahead with reciassification under order
of Congress, in order that Congress- NAV
have proper means of checking all opin-
ions as to proper reclassification.
Mr. Brown expressed the belief
that the government workers here
have been "buncoed" by the report of
the reclaSsffication commission. and
stated that he believed the approxi
mately 10 per cent Increase advocated
in that report to be much short of
the necessary increase.
The work of the bureau is being
done with the help of administrative
officials of the government. Mr.. Rrown
pointed out.
1t was evident today that oreani-
cations of government workers which
have been supporting the program of
the reclassifieation commission have
an open mind on the subject, and
would be willing to favor any report
or bill that would genuinely tend to
better conditions in the government
service.
