URGE FARMERS TO
SELECT SEED CORN
One Reason of Small Produc
tion of Corn in Arkansas is
Lack of Good Seed.
Arkansas grows a good
many acres of corn, but it is
safe to say that on more than
one-half of the entire com
acreage there is not grown
enough corn to really pay for
the investment andlabor.There
are at least two important rea
sons why Arkansas is notgrow
ing corn at a profit. The land
on much of the farming por
tions of Arkansas has been
farmed too long with too little
attention given to soil fertility.
Our farming lands must be
made richer through clovers
and barnyard manures before
corn can be produced at a pro
fit. The second reason why
corn cannot be produced suc
cessfully is because few farm
ers have attempted in a serious
way to improve their corn by
breeding or by field selection
of seed. September therefore is
announced by the Extension
Division of the University of
Arkansas as the month when
larmers are to be asked to se
lect seed corn- from the field.
Circulars will be printed and
distributed through county
agents, bankers and county
judges and others calling at
tention to the rules for select
ing seed corn. While corn can
be selected any time in Sep
tember it is thought that more
interest would be developed if
a special day is selected as
“Seed Selection Day.” There
fore, W. .T. .Jernigan, State
Agent for Boys’ Corn Club
Work and C. W. Watson. State
Demonstration Agent, have de
signated Sept. 27 as the days
when all corn club boys and
farmers carrying on demonstra
tions and others interested will
be asked to go to the fields
and select seed corn ; selecting
well formed ears from medium
sized stalks, stalks anywhere
from 7 to 10 feet high, ears
about 4 to 5 feet from the
ground and ha-iging down,
stalks with plenty of foliage
and with good root systems.
Each farmer should select
about three times as many
ears as he will expect to plant,
hang them up in sheds until
winter then take down, sorting
again and storing properly for
the winter, later sorting again,
taking off tips and butts and
shelling and grading just be
fore planting time. It is hoped’
that one hundred farmers ih j
each county may be secured j
as “seed corn demonstrators”
and it is hoped that all of the
three thousand boys in the corn
clubs will select their seed
corn on September 27.

IS ANYBODY HERE
IN THIS CLASS?
The world is full of people
who are poor through no fault
of their own, but we must re
cognize the fact that there are
millions of people who are
themselves responsible for be
ing in want. When we found
a lot of empty whiskey bottles
the other days in a house out
of which a renter had just
moved, we wondered if he was
not to blame for not owning
any land. We have too many
people who proclaim themsel
ves too poor to read papers or
educate their children—too
poor to develop their own
brain power—and yet have
plenty of money to spend for
drink, which injures both
brain and brawn.—The Pro
gressive Farmer.

STATE NORMAL ROW
IS COMPROMISED
President Doyne Retained After
Differences Given Airing at
Meeting of Board of Trustees
Little Rock, Sept. 4.—The
Board of Trustees of the
State Normal and President J.
J. Doyne got together last Sat
urday and composed some of
the principal differences aris
ing as the result of the audit
made of the School’s books by
O. P. Findley.
President Doyne agreed to
pay $900.()0, board for himself
and wife for the past three
ears. He had previously paid
into the Normal’s treasury
$109.00 to cover amounts
which he had paid employes
to reimburse them for dis
counts on salary checks; also
$60.00 board for a relative.
The Board allowed Mr.
Doyne $300.00, or at the rate;
of $50.00 per annum each for
■the use of two cows which he
claimed to have furnished the
school the past three years, al
thouKh, it is alleged, the Trus
tees had no knowledge until
recently that the cows were
on the State Normal farm.Dur
ing this time the animals have
been fed and cared for at the
State’s expense. The Board
voted to purchase the cows
from Mr. Doyne at $75 each.
The Board allowed Mrs, J.
J. Doyne $300 for voluntary
services rendered in canning
fruit for the dormitory, etc.
Mrs.Maggie Stoddard Spaul
ding, of Jonesboro, a relative
of Hon. Wm. Stoddard, deputy
in the office of State Auditor
M. F. Dickinson, was elected
matron of the school.
J. P. Machin, until recently
an employe of Auditor Dick
inson’s office, reported to the
Board that he had entered up
on his duties as Registrar of
the State Normal.
The Board adopted a resolu
tion introduced by State Audi
tor Dickinson (who is also a
Trustee) endorsing Mr.Doyne’s
administration, and, among
other things, affirming its be
lief in his *‘honestv and integ
rity.”
The controversy between
President Doyne and the
Trustees n jw appears to be
dosed uni‘ is as has been sug
gested in some quarters, the
Legislature decides to reopen
the incident.
President Dovne’s successor
was not elected, therefore he
remains at the head of the
State Normal, which, is stated,
will open the fall term with a
large attendance.

ASSESSMENT PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMPLETE
Little Rock, Sept. 2.—The
state tax commission has com
pleted the work of assessing
railroads, public utilities, ex
press and sleeping cars, tele
phone, telegraph companies
and bridges, ferries, etc., for
the year 1916. The result is a
net decrease under the 1915
assessment of approximately
$855,000. In 1915 there was a
net increase over the 1914 as
sessment of approximately
$410,000. In round numbers,
the total assessment this year
was $101,500,000.
The St. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railroad, the Missouri &
North Arkansas Railroad and
the Fort Smith Traction Com
pany secured big cuts in their
assessments, while the largest
increase was the assessment on
the newly completed Harahan
bridge spanning the Mississip
pi River at Memphis.
The decrease in the Frisco’s
assessment was on its bridge
at Memphis, upon which the
assessment was out $500,000.
The Fort Smith Traction Com
pany had its assessment lower
ed from $1,016,000 to approxi
mately $816,000, or a decrease
of $200,000. The assessment
on the newly completed Hara
han bridge at Memphis was
boosted from $215,000 to
$779,000, or an increase of
$464,000.
NEWARK MAN MAKES
RICH MINING STRIKE
Drennen & Bufford opened
one of the richest mines in the
district on the Ohio property
on Hall Mountain, whcih they
leased from Bob Reynolds in
the spring. In addition to sev
eral tons of very high grade
free carbonate ore, they have
also taken out a large quantity
of clear jack, some in solid
chunks weighing 20 pounds
or more. One of the richest
faces of jack bearing ground
ever opened in the district is
now exposed in the heading of
their tunnel, while a strong run
of carbonate closely overlays
the jack. This development is
in a break, near an old pros
pect drift which was made
years ago,but not with as great
success.—Yellville News.

PLANT AT NEWPORT
Newport,Sept. 5.—Newport,
which ha* been enjoying a
good volume of business since
the moving of the cotton crop,
will probably have another
industrial plant in operation
in the near future. O. E. Jacobs
of Kalamazoo, Mich.,who clos
ed the Newport Veneering
Plant about two years ago on
account of dull business, fol-1
lowing the opening of the great
war in Europe, has announced
that owing to a better demand
for his output and the general
business outlook, that he will
make arrangements to reopen
his plant within a few weeks,
or as soon as his men in the
woods can get stock moving to
the mill and in condition to cut.
The veneering plant employs
half a hundred men when run
ning in full blast, and is an im
portant part of the timber in
dustry of this section.
TWICE PROVEN
If you suffer backache,sleep

distressing urinary disorders,
don’t experiment. Read this
twice-told testimony. It’s con
vincing evidence—doubly prov
en.
E. J. Stein, organizer, Mod
ern Woodmen of America, 133
W. Pine St., Batesville, Ark.,
says: “Constant sitting and1
leaning over is hard on the kid
neys. Sometimes, I suffered so
intensely from backache that I
couldn’t staighten up. The pain
often came on suddenly and
felt as if someone had plunged
a sharp instrument into the
small of my back. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills cured the attack.
OVER FOUR YEARS LA
TER, Mr.Stein said : “I still use I
Doan’s Kidney Pills occasional

best of results.”
