ST. LOUIS JOURNAL
NA|LSPR0PAC ANDA
ISLANDERS ON ARKANSAS
Published in New YOrkPapers About
Road Districts Refuted by Globe
Democrat Correspondent.

In a series of articles by w. g.
Hutton, staff correspondent who
has spent some time making a thor
ough personal investigation, the st.
Louis Globe Democrat is rendering
Arkansas valuable service in refut-
ing the false and slanderous propa-
ganda recently published in the New
York Times and other eastern papers
concerning road improvement dis
tricts.
Introducing one of the articles
which appeared in Thursdays edition,
| the Globe-Democrat says editorially:
Accompanying is the fourth Of a
series of articles by a Globe Democrat
staff representative on the situation in
| Arkansas with reference to road i'm
provement taxes Following publica-
ton in eastern papers of statements
that Arkansas was busted and that
large proportion of the citizens Of
the state would not be able to pay
their taxes this year, the Globe-Demo-
crat sent a staff representative to
make a careful survey of the state
and write faithfully of conditions as
he found them.
"This series is the result, and so
far no justification has been found
for the contention in eastern publica-
lions that the credit of the state is in
danger. On the contrary, general
g., dc Of oh
tanning money for district improve
ments through assessed benefits
against the property within the dis
trict so improved was found"
An extract from the article, which
contains an interview from prom
inent Conway man, is republished be-
low:
Frank Farris, vice president of the
Farmers State Bank at Conway,
which is in Faulkner county, whence
cations that large per cent of the
property owners of the state would
be unable to pay their taxes this year,
declared that he does not believe the
delinquencies will be any larger this
year than in ordinary years.
"'With only half of the cotton sold,'
said Farris, with the price one-fourth
of our expectations, that seems almost
unbelievable, but for the last five or
six months the people have observed
an economy that has made this pos
sible. 1t is my firm belief that with
cotton Is cents pound next fall and
the roads completed, the last Of our
tax objections will be past
"Farris added that his bank has not
refused a single customer money to
pay his taxes this season and that he
did not believe his bank has had any
more calls than usual.
Through day-long drive by auto
mobile in Pulaski and Lonoke county
and many shorter drives on other days
and in other parts of the state the
writer did not find a man who set
forth an objection to Improvement tax
es in any way. The inquiries were
made alongside the roads, at planta-
ton homes, in the towns The Pulaski
Lonoke county drive was made follow
ing an all-night downpour, which be-
fore the advent of the different types
OF hard roads the trip was made over
would have made impossible a five
, mile drive"

NTI>!aZ Custer Mas
sacre as one
Of the most dramatic incidents
in Indian warfare. 1t occurred
in 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-
ing laid ON the cause Of peace
throughout the world. The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
ment took steps to force them
back into their reservations. Gen
eral Custer, with less than 300
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were on the war
path, and at the Little Bighorn
river, was ambushed by Sitting
Bull and 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dians were defeated and many
of them fed to Canada.
Gold was discovered in Mon
tana as early as 1852 by the half
breed Francois Finlay near Hell
Gate river. This, however, Gre
ated little stir and it wasn't I'M
Ill five years later when John
Silverthorn discovered gold in
quantities, that mining settle
ments sprang up in the noun
tains. This region had been part
of Nebraska territory, which in
1868 was subdivided and became
a portion of Idaho territory. The
next year it was organized as
the separate Territory of Mon
tana.
Virginia City was the capital
and here in 1865 was issued the
Montana Post. the first newspa-
per of the state. In 1874 the
capital was changed to Helena
and ten years later a state con-
/: stitution was adopted. The state

CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was
Losing 1854 Pounds of Butterfat
Every 80 Days.

Defects in the separator will, in the
course of time, make heavy inroads on
the dairyman's receipts from butterfat.
For instance, the testing Of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator is
working is not regarded important by
some dairymen. But in the case Of
one herd of So COWS in Minnesota,
which produced 1,2OO pounds of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested and found to be carrying OFF
3e4 pounds of real hutterfat every 80
days. This is vouched for by L. V.
Wilson, agent in dairying for the UNI
ted States Department of Agriculture
with headquarters at University Farm.
"This farmer" says Mr.. Wilson, "pur-
chased a new separator the next day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident ought to he sufficient lesson
for prompting many others to deter
mine the accuracy Of their separators.

Years Wheat Crop Larger
Than Before.

Washington, June S.-The coun-
try's combined winter and spring
wheat crop promises to be 43,OO0,000
bushels larger than last years, based
on forecasts of production announced
today by the department of agricul-
ture. There will be smaller crops of
oats, barley and hay than were har-
vested last year, while the apple
crop will not be half so large as that
of 1920 and the peach crop will be
much smaller than last year.
Winter wheat, which month ago
promised a crop of 629,Ooo,OoO BUSH
els, came through May in bad shape
in several of the important producing
states and as a result the forecast of
production showed reduction of 5l,-
100000 bushels, bringing the total to
the same quantity as produced last
year. Kansas, premier wheat state,
reported decline in the condition of
the crop from "a per cent of nor
NAL crop on May 1 to go on June 1,
which resulted in a reduction in that
states forecast by S3,OOO,OoO bush
els. In Nebraska the condition drop
ped from go to rs and in Oklahoma
from "a to 70.
The spring wheat crop forecast in
dicates 100000 900 bushels more than
last years crop. The condition of the
crop is better than q year ago, while
the acreage is somewhat smaller than
last years.
An acre yield of 1879 bushels is
forecast compared with 1913 bushels
last year.

Watkins May Send Prohibi-
ton Violators to Federal
Prison in Atlanta.

Anderson, June Sc. A. Whit.
mire, veterinarian of Pelzer, was
sentenced this morning to serve a
year and day in the federal prison
in Atlanta and pay fine of $1,000
for violation of the Harrison mar
cotic law, after a motion for new
trial had been overruled. Several
prominent men of Pelzer and the
surrounding community appeared
before Judge Watkins and asked the
leniency of the court, saying that
Whitmire was respected citizen and
had never been in trouble like this
before. Whitmire protested saying
that he was innocent of the charges
and that he had not committed the of
tense with which he was charged.
Judge Watkins told the defendant
that he believed that he had sue
cumbed to temptation to make easy
money.
Virgil Nicholson and Bob Tannery
pleaded guilty to violation of the
national prohibition law and were
sentenced to five months in the Oco-
nee jail or pay fine of $500.
Judge Watkins said this morning
that in the future he may send all
violators of the prohibition law to
the Atlanta penitentiary; that the
punishment inflicted for such viola
tion is no to be luxurious nor is it
intended that the prisoner may be
remanded to county Jail near his
home SO that his people may visit
him, and that prisoners may be sent
to the federal prison for less than
year and day.
The absence from the Jail of Mas
tiers and Shaw, two federal prisoners
in the county Jail, was investigated
by Judge Watkins. While absent
afternoon Masters was arrest
ed for getting in a fight. The sheriff
stated that the Jail was so full of pris-
oners that he could not we'll take care
of all of them, and some were let out
as TRUSTEES. The judge stated that he
would not send any more prisoners to
the county Jail.

Why a Silo?

Hereare ten good reasons why
silo should be kept on every farm
where livestock is kept:
/. The silo preserves the palata-
bility and succulence of green crops
for winter feeding.
2. It conserves the entire crop.
8. The silo increases the livestock
capacity on the farm.
A. Silage can be fed in summer
when pastures are short.
5. silage is relished by dairy and
beef cattle and sheep.
6. 1t is digestible and aids in the
digestion of other feeds fed with 1t.
z. Silage reduces the cost OF pro-
duction of milk, beef and mutton
8. It will increase the milk How.
e.silage promotes the health OF
the herd.
10. The silo provides an economl-
cal method for the storage of rough
age.-Utah Farmer.

Sour Milk Good for Chickens

1t is a great mistake to let any
milk go to waste because it is sour,
say specialists of the Agricultural
Extension Division, University Of
Florida. Such milk may be used in
numerous ways in the home, but, if
it is not desirable to use it there,
feed it to the chickens. They like it
and will do well on it.
Some farmers make practice of
feeding sour milk to hogs, but great
er returns may be had by feeding it
to chickens, for the flesh of chick
ems brings much more on the market
than that of hogs.
Milk and corn makes good ration
for chickens. For best results, the
corn should be cracked and soaked
several hours in either sweet or sour
skimmilk or buttermilk. The corn
may be put in pals in the morning
and the milk poured on until the
top of the corn is covered two or
three inches. When this has been
absorbed, more should be added at
intervals during the day, and the
mixture will be excellent for feed
ing by night.
A liberal supply of this ration will
keep chickens growing rapidly and
insure their being constantly plump
and in excellent condition for the
market.-Farm and Ranch.

DAIRY
HINTS
LARGER IMPORTS OF BUTTER
For First Seven Months of This Year
22,s55,oso Pounds Shipped to
United States.

The record for butter imports es-
tablished in 1919, when 9,519,36S
pounds Of butter and butter substi-
tutes were brought into the United
States, was short lived. Following the
recent announcement of these impor-
tant figures by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture the depart
ment has compiled reports for the
first seven months of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported 22,s55, 900 pounds
Of foreign butter. which is more
than ever before.
This remarkable increase Is at
tributed by foreign marketing experts
Of the departments bureau of markets
largely 10 the foreign exchange stu
alton. With American dollars COM
manding premium throughout the
world it is obviously good business for
foreign butter manufacturers to sell
their product in the United States For
eign manufacturers also have the ad-
vantage of low cargo rates. Another
reason for the increased imports is
that whereas England was formerly
Qenmark's principal butter outlet,
England can now purchase butter more
cheaply from Australia and Argen-
tina. Ireland also is producing but
ter on larger scale.
The effect of the exchange situa-
tion is also reflected in a decrease Of
American butter exports. Thus. 15,-

Would Deny Sims Readmit-
tance to American Ports.

Washington, June 10.-A resolu-
ton declaring Rear-Admiraal Sims
can undesirable alien" and denying
him readmittance to any American
port, was introduced in the house late
today by Representative Gallivan,
democrat of Massachusetts,.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Gal
livan referred to Rear-Admiral Sims
as ssa foreign born citizen of the
United States, but now connected un-
happily and unfortunately, with the
naval establishment of this country" F"
On other occasions, it added, he had
publicly stated that in case of war
between the United States and Great
Britain one British ship could easily
dispose of four or five American
ships of corresponding type" and it
charged that "Sims has publicly de
preciated his superior officers in the
naval establishment and the charac-
ter and quality of the government OF
this republic.
Rear Admiral Sims and Ambassa-
der Harvey were described to day in
the senate by Senator Harrison, dem
;ocrat, Mississippi, as "those two
gold dust twins who now. represent
the government of the United States
in England"
Senator Harrison, author of the
resolution adopted yesterday direct
ing the naval committee to investi-
gate Admiral Sims speech criticizing
Sim Fein sympathizers, declared the
admnraps speech, and that of Mr..
Harvey at the Pilgrims dinner, were
san outrage to redblood Americans"
81 hope the senate committee will
secure the report that Secretary Den
by has demanded from Admiral Sims"
said Senator Harrison.
"I hope congress will take imme-
diate action if Secretary DENLY fails
to do anything to him if he has quoted
correctly"
Senator Harrison said that Admiral
Sims sought to be got rid of from the
navy" if he was quoted accurately
and he also reiterated his demand for
Ambassador Harvey's "recall."
Nothing that Secretary DENLY had
called upon Admiral Sims for an ex-
PLANTATION within "a hours, Senator
Harrison said that no official of the
had taken similar action
as to Ambassador Harvey.
"He has not been called down by
the president or the secretary of state
or any other official" said the sena-
tor. -msyEssE.EE <.

527,271 pounds of American butter
were exported during the first seven
months of 1920, whereas 229S6, ,294
pounds were sent out of the country
during the corresponding period of
1919.
Imports of butter from Denmark
are being curtailed at present because
the prices asked by the holders of Dan
ish butter in storage here are higher
than the wholesale prices for the
American product, and some difficulty
is being experienced in moving the

Better Than Forty Cents
Cotton.

In Sumter last Sunday, Trinity
church raised it's quota, $4,000, for
the educational campaign of the
Southern Methodist church, and $500
besides. This amount was subscribed
by 14O of 45O persons to be can
vassed.
The same morning the Methodist
church in Latta subscribed $4,000,
its quota being s12,5OOO, and of this
amount 81, 800 was paid in cash.
A year ago these responses, quick
and generous to a great appeal for
educational funds, would have been
explained by the price of cotton, then
around 40 cents, and the prevailing
prosperity. No such explanation can
be offered now. 1t will have to be said
that in May 1921, the Methodists see
Alright the great necessity and oppor-
tunity of Strengthening their col
leges and other schools SO that they
shall be a better educated people.
Giving of dollar now means two
or three times the sacrifice of lux
uries by the giver than it meant when
money was easy.
This spirit of the people, that the
Methodists exemplify, promises bet
ter for the state and the country than
