COTTON SQUARES IN
COUNTY JUNE FIRST

Dudley Waldron of Old Swarts
brought to town last Saturday two
cotton stalks each containing a num-
ber of squares.
He said he had seven acres like this
and that the squares were at least a
week old. He planted Trice seed on
April 27 and % after placing 200
pounds of 10-4-2 fertilizer on each
acre. 1t is almost certain that he will
have field full of blooms before the
first of July.
Mr.. Waldron lives on the Timer farm
and the seven acres of cotton is in a
qsecond bottom" He said the stand
was perfect.
Jim Ladymon was in town Tuesday
with cotton stalks covered with
squares The cotton, from pedigreed
Acala seed, was planted the last of
April and the first of May and jim
SAYS he has 40 acres as good as the
stalks he brought to town.
The first open square in Mr.. Lady
mons field was found last Friday. He
believes he must have had squares by
June and expects to have blooms by
June %
Mr.. Ladymon says he gave his
ground a thorough working eight times
before planting and since the cotton
came up he has plOwed it four times
besides chopping it out. He further
states that he doesn't throw his rows
into ridges but works it fiat.
Oscar Prince brought in some fine
cotton stalks yesterday. They were
strong, heavily foliaged and were full
of squares. He stated that he saw
squares in his fields the first Of June
and believes he will have blooms be-
fore the 25th.

JUDGE MARTINEAU IN
RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Judge John E. Martineau was in
Pocahontas Friday afternoon I'm the
interest Of his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of Ar
kansas
Accompanied by number of his
staunch supporters he met number
of Randolph county citizens At three
o'clock he made public address on
the court house square and held very
interested audience.
Judge Martineau explained his plat
form, Lower Taxes and Fewer Laws" "
at length and created very favorable
impression with his hearers. He con
demned Gov. Terrals 'no pardon
policy" and insisted that many inno-
cent persons had suffered because of
it. He said he did not believe in issuing
a pardon to person guilty of breaking
the laws but that when judge and
jury, that had convicted man, came
before him with proof that the man
was innocent he would not hesitate to
issue a full and unqualified pardon.
Before leaving POcahontas, Mr.. Mar
tineau authorized the Star Herald to
carry his formal announcement to the
people of Randolph county. His name
will be found in our announcement
column as a candidate for governor,
subject to the Democratic primary cleo
tion in August.
Serving as chancellor of the first
chancery district, composed of Pulaski,
LOnoke, Faulkner and Prairie, he has
become known as one of the ablest
jurors of the state of Arkansas.
He made many strong supporters
during his visit here and we believe
that Randolph county will give Judge
Martineau a big vote on August 10.

INSTITUTE DRAWS
GOOD ATTENDANCE

One hundred twenty four teachers
registered at the teachers institute
held in Pocahontas last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Many others were
present at various times but did not
register attendance.
The following resolution, prepared by
a selected committee, was adopted by
the teachers:
We. the teachers of Randolph coun-
ty, in institute assembled favor the
following resolutions and recommend
them to our patrons and friends
(First) Realizing the unsatisfac-
tory working conditions in many of
our one-room schools, we recommend
that the spirit and practice of consOli-
datiOn be fOstered and encouraged in
every community by every teacher.
(SecOnd.) In view of the fact that
so many of our schools are unable To
function properly because of lack of
funds, we recommend to our patrons
and friends the adoption in the next
general election of Amendment No 13
to the State Constitution. This amend
ment will permit a school district to
vote as much as 1S mills for school pur-
poses if the voters of said district so
desire.
(Third.) We recommend to the
members of the next General Assembly
of the State of Arkansas that enough
funds be provided that the state appor-
tionment may he as much as $1,000 per
child These additional funds to be
derived in some other way than an
additional property tax.
(Fourth) In order to keep ourselves
better prepared and to be more COM
petent we recommend that every teach
er shall do normal training work and
that this work he directed so as to pro-
cure credit.
(Sixth.) We recommend that each
teacher procure Chores Cards and
Health Programs from the Arkansas
Tuberculosis Association of Little
Rock, Arkansas, and that each teacher
properly observe Health Day" as di-
Tected by the county superintendent.
(Seventh.) We recommend when
ever school building is to be con-
structed in a community that the board
of directors obtain the free service,
plans and advice furnished by the
State Department of Education.
(Eighth.) We recommend that every
school in the county be represented in
