SOIL IMPROVEMENT
IMPORTANT MATTER
Most Soils Need Lime and
State Commissioner Will
Test on Request
Soil improvement is the
most important thing to the
farmer and landowner. We
all know that it takes as much
or more labor to cultivate poor
soil as it does rich, while the
poor soil makes poor crops
and keeps the farmers poor
and hardvvorked. It is the es
sence of economy and good
business to keep building up
the soil.
I want to see all the farmers
well-to-do, their homes com
fortable and happy and their
children educated. To bring
about this condition the soils
must be improved, oherwise
the rich soiG get poorer.
The easiest way to keep up
the soil is to put ground lime
stone on v. here needed, and
to plant more clovers, cow
peas, soybeans, velvet beans
and alfalfa. Most of our solis
have enough potash if it were
available but in hard packed
or sour soil it is not. Put on
lime to sweeten and loosen
soil, and turn under all stalks,
weeds and grasses to add or
ganic matter.
Lime your land and turn
under a crop of clover, cow
peas or soybeans, and then if
needs be. use ground bone, ac
id phosphate or phosphorous
in any form, and you will have
a greatly improved soil and
grow better crops. Most of
our soils ).i od lime, but not
all. In order that the farm
ers may know if their soil
needs lime and how much for
the different crops, 1 have ar
ranged to make soil tests for
the farmers.
If you want your soil tested
to see how much lime you
need send me a sample. I will
test it and let you know. The
way to take a sample is to use
a spade. Spade out one
spadeful and cast it aside.
Then shave off a slice about
an inch thick and about six
inches deep. Lay this out to
dry. Tak<‘ samples this way
from several different parts of
the field. When they are all
good and dry, pulverize them
and mix well. Then take out
about a pound of the sample
and send to me for the test.
This will give you a good av
erage for your field. I will
tell you if your soil needs
lime, and how much you need
for the different crops.
Save all the manure this
winter and spread it on the |
land this spring.

SAVE COTTON SEED
With cotton seed bringin
ninety-five cents per bushel a
the gins this fall, there is n
telling what price may be as!
ed«next spring for plantin
seed. More than that, the ir
dications are that there wi
be a shortage of seed in th
sprng. Leaders see the dan
ger now and are urging th
people to save planting see<
from their own crop. Th'
Arkansas College of Agricul
turc has already been advisee
by well known cotton breed
rrs of Mississippi that the:
will have no seed for us nex
spring and ask that no order:
be referred to them. Let ev
ery Arkansas farmer protec
himself by saving an ample
supply of cotton seed foi
planting purposes. They wil
not be injured if stored in loti
of less than five bales. Save
:he seed you have.
EREE DING STOCK
There probably will not b«
my more opportune time foi
buying breeding stock that
right now, is the opinion of -I
II. McLeod, livestock special
1st of the University of Arkan
sas. Mr. McLeod has assistec

farmers’ associations for the
purchase of breeding stool

Other committees with order?

Assistance in buying. Bank
ers are lending money to reli
able people for such purpose?
at low rates and on lent
Lerms. There is no reasoi
why other communities shoulc
not take the same step anc
get in breeding stock this fal
before fall prices rise. Som<
people estimate that price;
will double before spring

THINKS WILSON A
GREAT STATESMAN
Goobbye Act No. 2, and
I howdy-do to Wilson.
1 As Teddy said when he
' thought Hughes elected, “fine;
bully.”
Bryan said in 1896, “You
cannot crucify the American
people on a cross of gold.” For
these twenty years this state
ment has been soaking into the
American people, and the re
election of Wilson is a witness
to it. No, sir. gold has not won,
and the day is past when mon
ey can buy the voters as it once
did. If money could have
bought it, the Republicans
would have had it. Over two
million dollars for a campaign
fund, and much of that was to
buy votes. And they shipped
, hundreds and thousands of ne
groes into the doubtful states
. to vote for Hughes. Wilson did
not have to do such a dirty
thing. Teddy is hot,and getting
. hotter. He is left, and so is his
. party, and worst of all, Wilson
| did not even use his name in a
, public speech. Neither did he
| use the name of Mr. Hughes.
I Just ran right on, and Teddy
, on the track saying, “Sooey,
. sooey; shoo; hey!”
My! what a man Wilson is!
Look at California and Kansas
—done gone to bed with Wil
son. But as they did not beat
him with votes they are now
going to count him out.
Democrats, Remember the
“returning board” of 1876,
t when Sam J. Tilden wasbeaten
) out of his rights by negro tes
> timony at New Orleans.
“Count him out.” Well, not
f much. The Republican party
1 has had Sambo for a bed-fel
i low since 1865—and Sambo
. has made up the bed and that
* is about all he has ever gotten.
