BILIOUS CHILDREN Black -Draught, Long in Successful Use, Praised by an Arkansas Mother, "Soon Does
 Its Work"

Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking of Thedford's Black Draught, which from long use in her household has become regarded as "the family medicine" Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1, this place, says:
 When the children get bilious, [ give them couple of good doses, and when we have sour stomach, headache, or any liver or stomach trouble, we use Black-Draught. It is an easy laxa- tive, and soon does the work. I cer- tainly think it is one of the best rem- edies made"
 Black -Draught acts on the jaded liver, gently, but positively, and helps 1t in its important function of throw ing out waste materials and poisonS from the system.
 In thousands of households Black Draught is kept handy for immediate use in time of need. Prompt treatment often Is half the battle, and will often prevent slight ills from developing in- to serious troubles.
 It's well-established merit, during more than 70 years of successful use. should convince you of the helpful effects obtainable by taking Black Draught for liver and stomach dis orders. Get a package today, and keep 1t in your house. See that the package bears the words, "Thedford's Black-Draught." NC-141

PIERCE LIKES NEW
 HOME IN OKLAHOMA
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 That you and my friends at Con- way may know something of myself and family, I write you this letter.
 We have bought property at Has kell, Okla. We are on Second street, one and one half blocks from Broad way. This is very nice little town of about 5000 inhabitants, two miles south of the Arkansas river, on the Midland Valley railroad, 25 miles west of Mukogee, and as I see it this is the best farming country that 1 have ever seen. It is a new coun- try. There'is plenty of land here that has never been broken yet. The land is black loam sand and will make from one-half to one bale of cotton to the acre, and from 40 to 80 bushels of corn to the acre, and can be bought from $40 to $1O0 per acre.
 As to the people, they are as fine people as I ever met in my life. The people are much nicer to me here than the people of Conway are to my ITleIlu, JdUleS uOHldS. nave D6el offered more jobs here than I can do Only last week I worked for a man from 9 to 4:30 o'clock and he gave me $4, and said "that is all the change I have" I don't know how much he would have given me if he had had the change. As to my friend Thomas I will say to the people of Conway you may offer Bro. Jim all the work you please, for he is not afraid of wok. I have known Bro. Jim to sit down on his blow right in the field and go sound asleep with the corn needing work, and this in snake time, too. So you see the Judge is not afraid of work and knowing Bro. Jim as I do, you people go to him and of fer him a job, for he has never been known to ask for job, neither do l know that he ever will.
 With love to you, Bro. Frank, Bro. Jim, and all the good people of Con- way, I close, Joe P. Pierce.

TELLS HOW DIVERSIFIED
 CROP GROWING PAYS
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The Cabin" is still our favorite paper. I am amused by the discus sion between the New Home and Eno- la correspondents. I was told several years ago by a prominent cotton buyer of Conway that the president was not buying cotton. This fact should set tie the controversy.
 am in sympathy with my friends in Faulkner county in the unreason- ably low price of cotton-too low to be permanent. We do not raise cot ton in the Ozarks. Our country is referred to as ''the land of million smiles" I suppose one for every bar rel of apples.
 This is fine place to raise some thing to eat. Crops have been extra good the past year. Our people raise corn, oats, wheat, peas, beans, toma- toes, potatoes, strawberries, black berries, apples and live stock for mar ket. Butter and cream, eggs and poul- try bring a considerable sum into the county.
 Grapes promise to be a good money crop since the location of Welch grape juice plant at Springdale. Three cars of rooted cuttings are ready to be set out in the spring.
 see MT. Woodruff is trying to in- terest berry growers around Conway. My experience is limited to one year, but it seems to me that much of the well-drained gravelly land in that county should produce profitable crops 1 have learned that the best way to raise them is to raise them with a spoon after they have been immersed in cream and sugar.
 The Pennington Berry Association shipped 49 cars last year and 100 the year before. There will be about 700 acres to pick out next spring in May. We will need lot of pickers outside of help at home.
 The weather is fine and everybody is busy Considerable blowing has been done for strawberries and other crops. Some are pruning, spraying

 WAY OF PLANTING
SPRING POTATOES, OATS
Chemical Treatment of Seed Advised Before Planting-ki9ds of Fer
 tilizer Used.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The indications are that a large acreage will be seeded to Irish pota- toes and oats next month. In planning for these crops how about using one ounce of corrosive sublimate in eight gallons of water in which to soak the Irish potatoes about 10 minutes before cutting for planting?
 The sublimate is poison and as the name suggests, should not be used in metal vessels. The sacks should be soaked also. Then plant in soil not used for potatoes before. Sweet po- tatoes should be treated with this so- lution but should be dried as soon as coming from the solution and bedded in new beds. Do not use the solution more than twice, as it loses it's effect iveness after this.
 The rough Irish potatoes which you thought were eaten by grub worms. which they do sometimes but leave a different, more clean and neatly heal ed place than the scab, are caused by a fungus growth which the corrosive sublimate kills.
 Use stable manure well mixed into the soil for best results, but if you do not have the manure, use any fertili- ger which has a high content of pot ash. If this is not available, use cot ton seed meal. Two hundred pounds of meal to 200 pounds of acid phos- phate per acre is none too much. Mix well with soil before planting.
 The smut you noticed in the oats last year can be prevented by treating the seed with one pint of formalde- hyde to 30 gallons of water. Sprinkle on seed and stir with shovel until all seed are wet, cover with wagon sheet or papers over night to hold fumes or gas in, as it is the gas which kills the spores. The seed will swell, SC plant about one peck more per acre.
 If you fail to get the Burt or sixty day oat, plant any red rust proof var iety. If, however, the price of seed oats is out of proportion to good feed oats from the. north which have not been sulphurized I would use the seeC oats. Planting about nine pecks pel acre on fertile soil and 1-2 bushels per acre on poor soil
 Authorities differ as to rate of seed ing on poor land and fertile soil. Some claim that lighter seeding on poor soi is better than heavy seeding; my ob- servation is that the heavier seeding is best for poor soil.
 Acid phosphate with a top dressing of nitrate of soda will help to make oats where often there would be z failure. Say 150 pounds of acid ant 100 pounds of nitrate.
 Your Irish potatoes and oats should be in the ground the first available weather after February IS.
