assorted fragments of English to the

how failed to distill a compensating
thrill from the reflection that she

planned, amply big for two; no rea-

However, if any one has any objections to seeing their names in the Liberty items, all they need do is let the correspondent know and they can rest in oblivion. Any one taking this attitude can address Mrs. Cora Hopkins, Conway, Rt. 1, state their desires and rest easy.

..s-s-s-s-s.s.-s....-........-...-.....'-.:.... .
 T. M. Williams, County Agent.

The late season is going to mean that many will change their plans as to arrangement of the different crops For instance corn planted early has much better chance of maturing an average crop planted in rows reason ably close, even though we should have a drought. And too, in order to be on the safe side it would be wise to plant at least half of the corn crop in 90-day variety.
 To further help all corn planted on upland should be planted in six or eight-foot rows. Later planting peas or peanuts in the middle.
 With corn rows six feet apart, a stalk each three feet in the drill will mean a yield of 20 bushels per acre, considering that each stalk produces one ear and 120 ears per bushel. That is much above the average yield for the county.
 Taking into consideration that the peas or peanuts will be extra, this should appeal to all farmers in the county.
 It is often said that the poor man IS the only man who can afford to take risk, as he does not have any thing to lose. Nothing could be fur ther from the truth. He is the only man who can not afford to take risks, at least to increase the possibility of a greater risk than naturally goes with farming. Therefore when we are placed in the position in which we are now, with little land plowed, and this after the time corn should be in the ground, we should do everything possible to help eliminate as many chances of failure as we can.
 In doing this the above plan should

Bill to Help Indians
Fails 20 Pass House

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a bill to
appropriate 100000 for the relief
OF destitute Indians failed of passage
in the house late today. The bill
was brought up under rule which
required two-thirds majority for
passage. The vote was $50 to 1O4,
opponents of the. measure having
declared that the Indians for whom
the relief was intended were not
really destitute.
