WINTER GRAZING CROPS

This is the last call for the seed ing of crops for late fall, winter and early spring grazing. After Novem- Der i, crops sOWed will not produce much fall or winter grazing, although they may afford late spring grazing, except possibly in the extreme South. It is a fact that in Q large part of the South the land may be- SO wet and the winter so severe that little grazing can he done during January and Feb ruary, but if grazing is afforded dur ing December and March and a cover for the soil furnished during January and February the sowing if winter cover and grazing crops is likely to prove profitable Moreover, even if a large amount of grazing is not ob- tained, that is, if the grazing crops do not supply all the feed required for the livestock, which they will not often do, it still pays to furnish some green feed for the livestock, especial ly for the young growing animals. A little green feed has a value far be- yond the actual nutrients contained. The value of green feed for young growing animals is hard to overesti- mate.-The Progressive Farmer.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, IS caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix lure improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sul- phur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that no- body can possibly tell it has been ap- piled. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after few applica- tions, 1t also brings back the gloss and iustre and gives 1t an appearance of abundance.

SeYier county was one of those counties which quit cattle dipping be- fore they were through, and now that they have seen the hardships that fol- lowed. they will begin dipping again. The proposition was put to vote ln the recent general election and car ried. h Howard county the same thing happened. The people felt that their rights were being infringed upon and refused to support an appropria- ton for the purp SC. They woke up to find their cattle couldn't be sold out side their own borders, and tha, tn s important branch Of the farming in dustry was ruined. In the recent elec- ton the question did not appear upon the ballot, but was an issue in the campaign. Some members of the quorum court were defeated because they opposed dipping. This is rad cal change of front in these two neigh bor counties. We don't know how the people of Little River counSy feel about the matter. They too repudiat- ed dipping when they lacked year of being through The people rule in matters touching their interest, and as soon as their interests in the matter become so apparent as it has seemed to do in these other counties, why, they will rise and demand that our quorum court provide for a resump- ton of dipping. When dipping again comes about by a spontaneous de- mand from those interested, they will go through with it. After all. that is the best way for these things to come about.

The United States Educational Com mission, which for several months has been making an educational survey in Arkansas. has submitted report with recommendation for bringing Arkan- eas up in the ranks educationally. The report is comprehensive and the result of much labor Its recommendations are revolutionary. It would abolish the district system and the district tax and apply general state school tax a.S the keynote of hte whole plan. It would apply the school funds where the children were rather than where the property was, whereas many veal thy districts have but few children. In theory the plan is backed by fine ar
 guments. We would not attempt on so short a notice to attack this report It would be presuming too much. The attitude of the public means it's adop- tion or rejection. The public reject ed the plan offered in Amendment No. IA, which did not abolish the district plan, but gave to a central state board greater powers as to taxation and dis tribution of funds This new proposed plan goes a long step further than that. So far in fact that school districts would be abolished altogether as now constituted We'll admit that our present system is lame, and it is al ways wise to give any new plan from an authoritative source a hearing and an investigation Often a perfectly flawless theory falls down miserably in practice Arkansas will do well not to be hurried on this matter.

Ashdown High Defeats
 Lockesburg 40 to .

The focal high school squad played
 the Lockesburg high school team oil their feet here Friday afternoon. The score was Ashdown 46, Lockesburg O. Ashdown made seven touchdowns, and if the reporter counted them right they were by the following players and in the following order: Bowden, Hunter, Cobb Bowden Cobb, Hunter, Johnson At no time was the Ash down goal in danger, nor was the ball much in the Ashdown end of the field. It was in the end of the last quarter that Lockesburg completed a success full pass with good gain and held the ball in the Ashdown end of the field on downs until the end of the quarter, preventing another touchdown. The bright and particular star for the To- calls was Bowden. Cobb, Hunter and Johnson were good ground gathers. It was in the early session that Cobb in- tercepted one of Lockesburg's for
 ward passes and raced down the field for a touchdown. Most of the gains
 were made by end runs and a few l line bucks, but the Lockesburg line
 seemed to be the strongest department
 of that organization. Their ends were
 especially weak and long runs were
 made round them almost at will. A
 noticeable improvement was noted in the playing of the locals, their inter- i ference having been developed to a
 high point of eZ ciency. The line
 hardly ever gets in the limelight, but the locals line held like stone wall
 and frequently broke through and
 messed up plays for their opponents. The locals made several attempts at forward passing, but were able to complete bu5 few of them but these were for good gains. The team had the punch, and if they keep hard at
 work they will be making the big ones
 fall hard before the seasons curtain
 goes down On Thanksgiving Day.

 Cy Adams says: If we should praise when it is deserved and criti- cize only when We know it will do good We would be better and happier folks.
 The number of women visitors at the live stock show at the Arkansas State fair this fall show that the farm women are also greatly interested in l better stock as a part of better farm l ing.
 And bye and bye better farming methods ar going to be reflected in better homes throughout the country. The cool days coming on reminds one that hog killing" time is fast approaching. FaVmers that grow hogs can save much of their income by butchering and curing the meat at home. If the art of home curing has been lost in your neighborhood write to the Extension Service at Little Rock for bulletins explaining how it is done
 Eggs are good for everybody. The sulphur in eggs purifies the blood and the fats and minerals stimulate and produce growth
 The excellency of the corn exhibit shown at the Arkansas State fair this fall is proof that it is not moisture but good farming that is of greaest importance in producing crops.
 Don't get the idea that all fertilizer comes in burlap sacks. Legumes will manufacture it from the air and put it into the soil for you

HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN

How is the seed corn on your farm selected? Does your father go into the crib just before planting time and pick out the best-lOoking ears? Or does he pick out the ears while they are still on the stalks in the fall? The best corn growers have found out that they can get several more bushels of corn to the acre when the seed ears are chosen in the field.
 Why is this? We'll, when selecting corn from the crib, an ear may look good, but you do not know how many ears were on the stalk, nor what kind of stalk it grew on Most likely it was the only ear on the stalk.
 The best time to select seed corn is before the blades have lost their green color. When you find a stalk from which you want to save the ears mark the stalk by tying a string around it, and let it stand untouched until fully |dry. It takes 15 to 20 ears to plant an acre of corn. But you should select at least three times as many ears as you will need. Then you can choose the very best from a large number of ears.
 But now let's consider from what kind of stalks We should save ears for seed.
 First, the stalk should be strong, thrifty and well shaped and not unus- .ualIy high A stalk that is large at the bottom and tapers toward the top lis the kind that stands dry weather best, and is not easily blown down.
 Second, do not select from a stalk that stands out by itself and that has had more fertilizer than the other Istalks.
 Third, choose ears at a convenient height from the ground. Do not select those that are too high or too low on the stalk.
 Fourth, ears that hang down from the shank are better than those that stand straight up.
 Fifth, do not select from stalk that has too many suckers. Sixth, remember if you want to grow corn with two or more ears to the stalk, you must select from stalks that have two or more ears.
 Sevents, if a stalk has two ears, se- lect the better ear of the two. This will usually be the top ear If both ears are good, select both.
 Eighth, the ear of corn should be firm, heavy, and medium size. The tip should be well filled out and the kernels well shaped
 Ninth, the stalk and ears should be free from diseas and insect injury The Progressive Farmer. DENTISTS

Berton Braley's Poem
AFTERMATH,


Now the orators are silenced, now
the bands have ceased &c
play,
Life resumes its even tenor and Its
old accustomed way,
Fool election bets are settled, cam
paign banners neatly furlel
We've forgotten half the issue:
which we thought would
shake tho world;"
Ended Is the tense excitement
which had held US in it,
thrall,
Though 1t really didn't matter very
= greatly, after all.
Many who were in are ousted
many who were out, are in;
And the oFfIceseekers cluster
round the candidates who
Prophets spend The time explaining
why their prophecies were
wrong.
And their words are quite uuheed
cd by the highly heedlesl
throng;
Talk Of fake and fraud is mutteret
as tho losers vent their gall
But 1t really doesn't matter very
greatly, after all.
Maybe Some election platforms will
be carried out, in part;
Maybe we shall solve some prob
lens with a little Skill and
art;
Maybe taxes will grow lighter and
the cost Of living sag,
But rather think the public still
will hold The well:known bag
This political campaigning is i
sport that comes with fall,
But 1t really doesn't matter very
greatly, after all.

A RADICAL THREAT

N tho curious twist which public expression
l gave to affairs in the election last week. the
public is likely to get some new sensations and
perhaps some disconcerting lessons during the
next two years. dangerous radical element has
assumed power that may menace or manage
II it holds together and votes as unit.
Unless there is a belated change, the congress-
ionai line up in Washington stands as follows
In the Senate are SO Republicans, 40 Democrats,
and doubtful. The Republican majority in the
Senate is eight or ten. This in contrast with the
present majority OF "a.
In the House the situation shows. Republicans
226t Democrats 2O6 and Socialist /. Republican
majority IL. This in contrast with present Re-
publican majority of 1856
Independents and radical Republicans in the
Senate number seven or eight, and In the House
they number fourteen TO eighteen. solid vote
from this faction would nulify the Republican
leadership in the next Congress
There has not been among the American gem
eral public, sufficient appreciation of the dan
ger Of radiealism. This country has never been
swept by the ruin and terror Of radicals in con-
troll. Those nations who live in daily fear of red
revolution know the menace of the radical, and
surely Russia should point out to the American
voter what happens to a country when the reds
get into ascendancy. The radicals and independ-
ents in the iext Congress cannot wrcst our gov
ornment from its Foundation and hurl it to the
.ground that is admitted. but they can. accord
ing to present estimate bring to stand-still any
thing in legislation that does not please them,
and government brought to a stand.still is a
government impotent, while the block lasts.
The saving point which is likely to develope in
the present situation is tho inability Of radical
leaders TO agree among themselves. The more
radical, tho wider apart their methods and ideas.
This is sufficiently illustrated in the short life of
the radical leader who assume supreme distator-
ship. He is never able to get his followers to
agree either with himself or each other. 1t Is
doubtful II the radical bloc ever gets into action,
but the public should recognize the danger here
and understand what peril is behind the elcc-
ton of such men 10 the House and the Senate.
