The few days of sunshine last week
dried up the roads and fields in pref
ty good shape and it will not take
many more before the farmers will
be able to get into the fields and the
motorists will be able to travel the
roads. The. roads have dried up in
fairly good shape lately but the low
spots are still wet and impossible
and there are enough low spots so
that it is almost impossible to 60 any
distance from the city with a car as
yet. However, it wont be long before
spring work will be in full swing and
our streets will again be crowded.

filed the application for the patent on
May 23rd, 1919, and the patent was
allowed on March 10th, 1922. There
were about thirty other patents COW
ering the same thing which had been
applied for, IS of them being so close
to the design Of Mr.. Grasswch's that
it has taken some time to settle who
was entitled to the patent. This is
device to prevent tractor from tip
ping over backwards when pulling
hard. The mechanism fastens to the
front axle. 1t will permit the engine
to rise about two inches but if it con-
tinues to raise the clutch is disengag-
ed and the power released, allowing
the front end to settle back. Mr..
Grasswick's attorneys advise that this
will probably be a valuable patent.

 When Foreman West of the jury read the verdict, the face of the aged minister was expressionloss He did not move muscle. A few minutes later he said that he wanted to make ! talk to the court and jury. His at torney, advised him not to say any thing at that time, and he took his seat beside his wife, who had been constantly at his side during the trial. The wife was as expressionless as the minister.
 Wilo Hughes of Monroe, La. a stout hearted railroad engineer, and who had stood by his father splendidly during the trial, was the only one in the courtroom to break under the yer dict of the jury.
 FolloWing the bringing of the yer dict the attorneys for the minister hled motion for a new trial It was overruled They raised some question on the indictment, which had been demurred to before stating the case, but the motion for a new trial was quickly disposed of.
 There may be some question as to the indictment" said the court. "but have ruled on that, and if you desire to appeal, you can do so."
 There was a motion to arrest iudg- ment also, which was filed, and al- most as speedily overruled by the court. After these formalities were disposed of, the minister was turned over to Sheriff Crump to be taken to the penitentiary at Little Rock to be held pending the appeal to the Arkan- sas Supreme Court.

 Cotton Picking Machine

Little Rock, Feb. 18.-The March issue of the Scientific American car ries an article on page 179 descrlb- ing the Stuckenborg cotton picker, which recently has been placed in practical operation on plantations near Little Rock. The article is ac- companied by our illustrations of the machine.
 "The cotton industry" the maga- zine says, "in which human labor has played the important role for the 4,OOO or more years that cotton has been picked by hand, promises to be- come revolutionized by the advent of an electrically operated picker, which recently has been perfected and plac- ed in practical operation on planta- tion at Little Rock, Ark, in the heart of the Northern cotton belt"
 L. c. Stuckenborg of Memphis, Tenn, spent IA years experimenting before the machine was perfected, the article states. He received his in- spiration when wat ching a COW wan- der into his cotton fields He noted the ease with which the cotton was removed from the bolls by the ami malls rough tongue. He then per fected two brushes encased in a frame the size of mans double fist The brushes revolve inwardly and when placed against the cotton, pulled it free from the boil without collecting any part of the boil or leaves of the plant.
 7 The machine is operated by small electric motors, the current being supplied by means of small dynamo
 operated by the tractor engine on which the machine is mounted, it was stated !

Dr. Knapp Meeting Success
 In Safe Farming Campaign

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-Dr Bradford Knapp, dean of the University of Ar kansas College of Agriculture, has been encountering large audiences and keen interest during the first week of his speaking campaign in be. half of safe farming
 The Chicot and Lonoke County Bu- reaus have assisted in getting oul crowds to hear Dr. Knapp and have pledged their aid in spreading the doctrines advocated by him. In lief ferson county where there is no county farm bureau, leading members of the Arkansas Cotton Growers ASso- citation lent their assistance to Dr. Knapp in his meetings.
 In his addresses Dr. Knapp has warned the farmers against being de- ceived by recent advances in the price of cotton. or the statistics circulated recently to show that there will be Ia shortage of cotton next year. If tue farmers are deceived, he said that they will meet the same fate as last year and be unable to realize the cost ot production from their cotton.
 The short crop last year, he said was due more to the boil weevil than to actual reduction in acreage.
 Exports of cotton to Europe are decreasing steadily and there is no assurance when Europe will be able financially to buy normal supply Of the staple" he said Until she is, the farmer had better curtail his Ir0duction."
 Dr Knapp said that at present the farmer is paying 1916-17 prices for what he buys and receiving half CT less ol those prices for what he sells and that this makes it imperative tha. he conduct his farm on strictly business basis.
 He especially warned the farmers Ii # to quit raising corn and other feeds because they are now low in price. He said that while Arkansas last year produced 60,OO000O bush els of corn, the largest corn crop in it's history, the state in the same year consumed 75,00O,0OO bushels. The additional 15,O00,O0O bushels was Brought in from the North and high freight rates paid on it. That. he said, is not businesslike.
 Above all Dr. Knapp urged the farmers to raise poultry and produce and dairy products to make them selves more self-sustaining.
 If every farmer had one or two good cows, some pigs and poultry he would not feel the hard times so much" he said
