TAX FORFEITURES GIVE STATE
 229,000 ACRES
Efforts Made to Withdraw Public
 Lands From Sale

Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-In- ouiries at state offices have developed that the state owns approximately 220,000 acres of land forfeited to it all of which would come under the provisions of bills which legislators are seeking to pass to provide for withdrawal of state lands from sale in order that the oil and mineral rights might be protected. One bill intended to prevent sale of state lands was ve- toed by Gov. McRae last week because he said, it provided for refunding to purchasers of land money paid in by them within five years, if they failed to obtain clear title to it, but did not provide source of revenue from which to make such payments except from the general revenue fund.
 Interesting in this connection is the fact that TOO acres of state lands are located in Union County, the center of the new oil field just discovered Several other countries in which drill ing for oil is proceeding have from 300 to 700 acres of state lands.
 Washington county leads all others with number of acres of state land, having more than 10000 according to latest compilation of figures. Benton is second, with 12,260 acres, and Mad ison third with 12,000. Every county in the state has some land, many of them more than 1000 acres. Woodruff County, with only 80 acres of state lands, has the smallest amount.

WOODROW WILSON
Fifteen Minutes Toast" Friday Eve ming, at Hamilton Special School
(By Bradford Toliver)

A Virginian by birth, was born in the year 1856 December 28. His father was man muchly admired by his country and was man of means.
 Young Wilson obtained a good edu- cation, graduating at the head of his class, with full honors, from Prince ton and Yale universities.
 He studied law under our Country's foremost lawyers and began the prac- tice in his early days.
 He was elected president of the Princeton College which office he faithfully filled until that state seeing he was man of wisdom, far-sighted and capable of filling the office of Governor. So it was at this election that his name began to glow on the pages of history.
 He proved to his people his being capable of handling their affairs which they had honored in his care.
 He won for himself a fame and honor which expanded further than the boundaries of New Jersey. It was at this office when the news was flashed that the Democratic Commit tee had considered and chosen him as their choice for the Presidency. The Republican party at this time was divided so Wilson received as great if not the greatest majority yet known.
 Eight years ago today we see him as he walks down and occupies his chair in the White House, a man young in appearance with the power of a Nation under his ruling. Today he goes out of office physical wreck, a broken constitution with slight hopes of many years of life ahead. His life has been spent for his coun- try. Under his administration the greatest events have elapsed that history has any record of. He being president that filled the office to the best satisfaction of his country.
 He, during the worlds war distin- guished himself as the greatest man in existence. His name won for him high reputation not only in this, our country, but his name is spread into all civilized parts of the world.

SHOULD FLOW SWEET POTATO
 LAND DEEPLY

The soil for planting of sweet pota- toes should be plowed deeply to al low for the proper development of the roots, according to c. Woolsey, horticulturist of the Agricultural Ex- tension Division, University of Arkan- sas. As the potatoes are not planted in the field until after danger of frost is over, it is possible for the grower to choose time to prepare the land when all conditions are ideal. The land should be narrowed if possible the same day it is plowed,. When the land is finished it should be loose and friable to depth of six or seven inch es, with smooth surface.
 The land should be allowed to settle for several days before being pre- pared for planting. Where level cul- ture is practiced, the land should be narrowed and then marked in both di- rections. Many kinds of markers are used, among which are the single shovel blow, fiat solid marker, drag marker, disc marker and cleated roll Ter.
 Where ridge culture is practiced the ridge should be prepared by means of turning blow or other suita- ble machinery about one week before planting, in order to allow the soil te settle. The tops of the ridges should

A HILLSIDE FARMER" HAS
 EARNED SAFELY

The College of Agriculture, Univer- sity of Arkansas, is in receipt of a let ter from woman who describes her self as a Hillside Farmer" in Logan county. She closes the account of her sales of farm products for Janu- ary, 1921, with this comment, "Oh! Arkansas, why weep over Cheap Cot toni"
 She sold butter for s41.80, eggs for s40.50, roosters for $2.5O, sweet pota- toes for $55.00, pork products for $7O.00, three-fourths of a beef for $15.70, totaling $225.O0. In addition to this she has all the milk, butter and eggs she needed, and has eight three months old pigs gaining fast on skinned milk, alfalfa pasture and some corn.
 She says also, "With a cellar filled with canned vegetables, fruits, sor- ghum molasses, peanut candy, pop corn, apples, nuts, preserves, jellies, dried fruit, peas and beans, plenty of meat and lard, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, patch of greens, milk but ter and eggs, also chickens, why la ment over cotton?
 This woman is certainly a Safe Farmer. If all Arkansas were equal ly as safe, the stalking fear of over production of cotton would not be such a menace to our agriculture.

be rolled or dragged off just ahead of the planters or planting machine. This gives fresh, damp soil in which to set the plants. A roller is sometimes used that has cleats nailed to it at regular intervals, which mark the place to set the plants at the same time the ridge is leveled. Experi- ments indicate that low ridge three or four inches high gives the best re- suits. Some growers prefer to plant by the level method and develop low ridges by throwing the soil to the plants at each cultivation. Level cul- ture is best where the crop is fed to hogs.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS NEED
 BETTER SUPPORT

At the special session of Congress called for March 4th, bill was intro duced, providing for increased federal appropriation to the agricultural ex- pertinent stations of the several states. Under an act passed in 1887, known as the Hatch act, each state experiment station now receives $15,- 900 per annum from the federal treas ury. This was increased by what is known as the Adams Act in 1906, ap- propriating an additional $15,00O, making $30,000 appropriated to each state. The country as a whole is waking up to the fact that agriculture needs more earnest attention.
 In the year 1920 Congress of the United States expended 93 per cent of the total revenue of the United States for recent and previous wars and preparation for wars to come. Only one per cent of the federal reve- nues was expended for research, edu- cation and development. The amount spent by the federal treasury for ex- pertinent stations is but a very small fraction of one per cent of the total revenue of the country. This money is an investment for the state. Ev cry dollar of it brings large returns to the Nation. The problems of life of foods, their uses, the food supply, clothing, breeding and animal di- seases. the fertility of soils, and the success of our agriculture, depends upon these institutions of research and discovery Their contribution to the knowledge of the people and to their success in agriculture is impos- sible to estimate.
 Now that the war is over, con- structive step would be to strengthen these institutions which have suffer ed seriously during recent years. For example, among 1700 workers in az ricultural experiment stations, there have been 1400 changes in the past five years. This is approximately so per cent. Of departmental heads and leaders of special lines of re- search work, 370 left their positions in the experiment stations during the period mentioned. The Directors of practically half of these stations have changed in the same period.
 The success of experiment station work lies in. experienced leadership, and the continuation of men in lines of work until results can be accom- plished. The results of experimenta- tion for one year only does not deter mine the problem. It is a series of years of work that will bring to the farmer real results. Appropriations for the work of these stations has practically stood still from the stand point of the state, as we'll as the Ma tion, since 1914. If the people in this country are to overcome their con- stantly increasing problems in agri- culture. the experiment station and the research work must have in creased support. This is the object of the act in question. It is believed that if the federal Congress can be prevailed upon to lead the way, the state Legislatures will do their share, and between the two the research work in agriculture will not suffer.
