the law is transgreSsed punishment
must follow. When all warnings and
pleadings for right-living have been
ignored. and the viOlatOr of Gods law
has been cast into the place of eternal
punishment, there is no promise of any
paroles or pardons to get him out
The Governor also doubts the wis
dom of giving trial judges the power
of suspending sentences. Laws are
made for the punishment of those who
transgress them and when the viola
tiOn is deliberate, as it is in most
cases. the viOlatOr has no right to eX-
pect mercy. The boot-legger and the
rum-runner. for instance. cannot be
reformed by turning them loose upon
society. They have been convicted of
their crimes and none of them will be
turned loose so long as Tom j. Terral
affiXes the title of Governor after his
name.
"The Governor is importuned by
hundreds to grant clemency," says
Governor Terral "but he hears only
one side of the case, and that the side
of the defendant, which must neces-
sarily he made as strong as possible in
his favor. On the other hand, convic-
tiOns are made by juries of twelve
men who hear all the evidence on both
sides and sentences are pronounced by
judges familiar with all details and
learned i'm the law. 1t is, therefore,
unfair and illogical to throw the bur
den upon the chief executive in who
alone inheres the pardoning power"
Governor Terral insists that his
policy of Central Board of Control
for State Institutions is proving to be
most salutary, and that it is insuring
economy in the management Of state
Institutions.

A Little Rock realtOr, recently re-
turned from the Everglades, tells the
prize Florida story. He says that a
citizen of Miami desired to sell four
lots seven miles from the city. He
sent an advertisement to the paper,
offering to sell the property at bar
gain for $500. He was amazed the
following day when he read his "ad''
in the paper, offering the lots for $780,
600. He was greatly vexed and was
preparing to take the editor to task
for his mistake when he received an
excited telephone call from a visitor
who wanted to know If he still had the
property. He replied that he had and
the visitor said he wanted to see it.
The owner drove him to the site
and the man was much pleased with
the property. He said, you are ask
ing too much for it cannot pay $780,
600 but will give you $4,000 i'm cash. >
The owner was too much astonished
to attempt an explanation, but proceed
ed without delay to close the deal and
secure his check for $4,000 The
printers who made the mistake thought
he should give each of them a new
Ford for having made $4,000 for him
but he compromised on a box of cigars.

MAKES RECORD ON
FORTY ACRE FARM

Frank Ellis, who lives in Black river
/ bottoms near Holmes school house
seems to be the champion farmer in
that part of the country. Mr.. Ellis
lives on forty acre farm and besides
having his house on this forty he real
ly live, off his forty acres He knows
that the one crop farmer cannot sue
cecd and has therefore divided his
farm up in such way as to maintain
the fertility of his soil and to produce
larger Yields at the same time.
This year Mr.. Ellis had eight acres
of clover which produced is tons the
first cutting and 10 tons the second
cutting The third crop which would
have made one ton per acre was turn
ed under to increase the fertility of the
soil.
Ten acres was planted to corn in
six feet rows with COW peas between
the rows and soy beans in the drill
with the corn The ten acres of corn
produced $50 bushels. Fifteen bush
els of COW peas and two bushels of soy
beans were picked. After the corn,
COW peas and soy beans had been gath
cred, nine head of hogs were allowed
to run in the field for six weeks The
hogs made a gain of 100 pounds each
or a total of 900 pounds.
Mr.. Ellis grew 10 acres of cotton
which produced ~ bales weighing from
500 to 600 pounds each
The fall of 1923 Mr. Ellis sowed 1-2
acres in rye and pastured this all last
winter and up to July ?, 1924. On
July 2nd this rye was turned under
and the land sOwn to COW peas on
which tons of COW pea hay was pro
duced.
One fifth of an acre was planted in
Irish potatoes which made 90 bushels.
The rest of this forty acre farm was
taken up with small pasture for
milk cows, an orchard, garden and
truck patches.
One of the most interesting features
of this farm is the fact that every acre
is utilized and the fertility of the soil
improved at the same time. Mr.. Ellis
I'm working out this plan of farm man
aUanaut ic lonl,inor tou.ors tbo f,t,,ro
He is Il firm believer in system of
diversified farming that will maintain
the fertility of his soil. He not only
believes it-he does it.
In summing up the production of
this forty acre farm we find the follow
ing:
30 tons of clover hay at $1,000 100000
800 bushels of corn at S1.0O $4,000
II bales of cotton at S125.00 per
bale 100000
tons cOwpea hay mt S25.00 10000
800 pounds pork at Zoe per lb 5000
60 bu. of Irish potatoes at $1.00 60.00
10 bu cowpeas at $500 per bu 1900
Value of total production on
main crop S2745.00
In addition to the crops mentioned
above Mr.. Ellis grew enough fruits
and vegetables to supply the family for
another year. Forty gallons of fruits
and vegetables were canned for home
use and the hogs were butchered for
meat.
Mr.. Ellis says that in his opinion
there are two things the farmer must
do If he is to succeed. 1. Plan the
crops in advance or in other words
have definite plan of farming and
stick to it, 2. Keep farm accounts,
know where the money comes from
and where it goes, and know which
crops are making money and which
are losing money.
This record production should he an
incentive to other farmers toward
greater acre yields and to carry out
the live-at-hOme program
