Nv**l i Brasher Are Going to Have Best Gin
in Union County.
On last Saturday S. R. Neel and
J. T. Brasher closed the deal for a
modern M array, two stand, all steel
cotton huller and gin with a repre
sentative of the company from
Dallas, Texas.
The gin will be erected on the
site of the old Bell Hotel ana wo k
will commence on the building
about May 1st so that everything
will be in-readiness for the crop of
19’4.
When completed this firm will
have the best gin in Union county,1
as the', have b ught the ve y latest
machinery, and ws hope to see1
Huttig develop into a good cotton
market this year.
Land Preparation and Planting.
'. ■ i ' of plow! r: has been
v tns y^a . and a the|
'i"<; t :• co - - a
go ■ ■ r nr t n re pa r ed
for it :>s< win w re able to
b k th' i land last fan are going
to see th* result of their wisdom
in the coming crop season. The
surest four tuon ci a g ,..u c.op
;s good preparation of the land.!
Th work put in on the land in get
ting it re oy for planting is not
wa ted, rut will produce g >od re
sults in the growing of the ernp.
The land should be well broken,
to a depth as great as last year's
breaking, or an inch deeper. The
disk harrow should be used where
the soil is suitable, and the cl ds
should be broken. A clod breaker
or roller should be on every farm.
The clods in a field are not only
annoying, but th y represent just
that nuch useless soil, so far as
the growing of the crop is con
cerned. They add no plant food
and contain no moisture that is
available to the crop.
In plan .ing cotton there is often
a grave mistake made in planting
too thick. The cotton plant is a
sun plant. It needs warmth and
sunsh'ne. In its early life it is one
of the most delicate plants, and in
its mature stage it is one of the
strongest and hardiest of plants.
The cotton plant being so small
and delicate in its early life causes |
the farmer to hesitate to thin the
stalks outer) >ugh. Todo so makes!
the ground look so bare, it would
be better if the farmer would k«ep
in mind the strong sturdy stalks
that were in his field at picking
time, and give enough distance be-1
tween rows and plants to grow trie
strong sturdy stalks altogether.
It is a mistake to crowd your cot- .
ton. You can raise more stalks
that way. but fewer boi's
and smaller bolls. Be govern
ed by your soi1 in fixing the!
width of the rows and chopping to
a -‘and. Give pi mty of room for 1
the c tilk*- t'1 be free from crowding,
ano they will grow to larger size. }
be thriftier and put on more fruit.
In many fields in Arkansas th« dis
tance between the cotton rows
Should be increased 50 per cent.
It would pay.
Care shold be given to the corn
also, that it has plenty of room.
Do net plant too thick.
The farm garden should not- ! e
overlooked, it is one of the great
est assets on the farm, as well* as
one of the greatest comforts in
f rm life. The garden should have
the greatest of care, n pays bet
ter tnan any other part of the farm.
Plant a good variety of vegetables,
so there will be something for the
table all through the season If
you can possibly do so, buy a small
canning outfit and let the ’mother
and daughters can the surplus veg
etables. It will be the means of
saving many dollars. The outfit
can be had for $10.00.

"Life Portrayals" is a master
piece of interpretative impersona
tion. Mr. Battis pj=-. esses a voice
of great range and flexibility, and
in this number presents a dozen or
more characters, complete in cos
tume and "males-up," with ap-'o
priate monologues, in one evening.
Each character is d vetoD d in full
view of the audience, as an artist
would develop a picture. Mr. Battis
showing the audience how the
actor "mak-s-up" for the character
to be presented by the use of grease
paint, powders, wigs and ccstu e,s.
The change from one character to
another is made complete, yet with
great rapidity, and the living proto
type of Dickens' cre at on. with ad
the characteristic mannersm. is
presented.
