POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The News is authorized to announce
W. H. Matthews
as a candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Union County, subject to the action ol
the Democratic primary.
A woman will coax a man into
spending money for some useless
and worthless luxury and then crit
icize him for being hard up.
A mystery which has baffled us
for some time has been cleared up.
A traveler tells the New York Sun
that the word “silo.” commonly
used but of no common use insofar
as the farm is concerned, is of Ara
bic origin. A silo in Morocco is a
subterranean cavern in which
food is stored against the day of
war or famine.
In Germany the farmers are 1
rated by the number of head of
live stock, and not by the number
of acres cultivated. The tenant
farmers in that country are re- '
quired to keep a certain number of
live stock and to save the manure
for the soil. As a result of the
German plans the soil of that coun
try has been increasing in pro
ductiveness, while in this country
the soil has been decreasing in pro
ductiveness. MORAL—Raise
more live stock and save the ma
nure for the land. J
Chapped hands which have been
alleviated by the glycerine treat
ment are likely to find some other
method of care. Glycerine, affect
ed by the war, it is said, has ad
vanced in price until it is almost
unobtainable. Carbolic acid, an
other necessity of life, has also
soared until it is b-eyood the purse
of the average inrjividaul. Carbol
ic acid’s scarcity may reduce the
number of suicides. The inability
to get glycerine may not only add
to our winter discomforts, but it
also makes it impossible for the
bank robber to ply his tra.de. as it
enters largr ly into the manufac
ture of hig h explosives as well as
into toilet preparations.
A. Pennsylvania woman awoke
in the dead of night with a terrific
/ headache. A • medicine cabinet
was handy and she reached out in
the dark and got a tablet. It was
the wrong sort and in a few min
utes she realized that she havd been
poisoned. She lived miles from a
physician. Her husband, with
rare presence of mind, which
should make his name live forever,
grabbed a hunk of “Horse Shoe,”
or “Star,” or some other brand of
chewing tobacco and forced his
wife, who detested the weed, to
take a man's size “chaw” and then
swallow it. The effect was grati
fying. The poison, not to mention
the tobacco, was voided and the
wife’s life was saved. An elegant
opportunity for some frenzied ad
writer to see the point and make
the best of it, but it’s no argument
supporting the theory that tobacco
chewing for women is commenda
ble.

tor Co-operative Extension Work.
I. Origin and Function of Soil.
Soil is composed of finely divided
rock particles, called inorganic mat
ter, and finely divided decaying vege
table matter. It occurs in two layers
which are known as soil and sub-soil.
The soil or surface layer contains
more decaying animal and vegetable
matter, and for that reason is darker
and coarser in texture.
In the course of time the finer parti
cles have washed down Into the sub
soil and have caused the layer to be
come tighter and heavier. The sur
face soil furnishes the physical sup
port for plants and the major portion
of their plant food supply. The sulh
soil provides a storage place for mois
ture and furnishes some food for those
plants which are able to send their
roots into it.
Soils have their origin from rocks.
Geology tells us that the surface of
the earth was once a molten mass
which solidified to form rock. Gradual
ly the rock was broken to pieces by
various chemical and physical ageu- I
cios. With alternate heating and cool
ing the resultant expansion and con
traction caused fissures to develop.
Water getting into fissures and freez
ing caused further division. Water
running over rocks ground them down.
Wind carried the covering from rocks
and exposed them anew. The gases of
the atmosphere produced chemical
changes which led to the breaking
down of rock.
After rocks were broken down to
form soil, tbc development of plant
: growth led to the introduction of or
ganic matter. The leaves of plants
fell to the soil and became a part of
it. Upon the death of the plant the
roots and stem of the plant became a
part of the soil. The decay of plants
enriched the soil by hastening the
chemical processes as well as by re
turning plant food which could be
used over again. As the forests de
veloped and year after year the
leaves, twigs and dead trunks were
returned to the soil, the surface layer
became darker and looser and more
porous than that underneath.
Geological Classification.
All soil does not now occupy its
original position. This fact gives rise
to two general classes, first the seden
tary or those soils which have not
been moved far from their point of
origin, and second the transported
soils which have been formed by ac
cumulation through the effects of
wind, ice, wafer, or gravity. The re
sidual forms the most important class
of sedentary soils in Arkansas. This
is the main type in the western and
northwestern parts of the state. The
residual soils having been formed I
practically in their present position !
are old soils, without strata, and pre
senting a heterogenous mass of ma
terial. They have been subjected to
leaching for long periods, and a large
part of the soluble materials have
been washed out.
All our river bottoms are made up
of alluvial or water transported soils.
A large portion of southern and south
eastern Arkansas is made up of ma
rine soil, or what is commonly known
as coastal plains land. The sediments
which are continually being carried
away by rivers are sooner or later de
posited In the sea.
Soil Particles.
Soil particles vary In size from
coarse gravel to the very finest par
ticles of clay. Between these ar<>
coarse, fine and ve y fine sand parti
cles and what is known as silt. One
can easily recognize the coarse and
fine grained soils by rubbing a very
small amount between the fingers.
The finer a soil is Hie more silt and
clay it contains, the more stirkv it is
when wet. Wh.on a soil contains a
moderate amount of each of the sev
eral grades of sand, silt and clay it
usually works easily and is called a
loam. When it contains more sand it
is called a sandy loam, or more clay,
a clay loam. If it contains a larg<>
amount of clay it is called a clay soil
The condition of the soil affecting
fho ease with which it may be worker
is called tilth. By “good tilth" i
meant friableness. By “poor tilth'' i
meant a cloddy or compact oonditb n
Tilth depends largely upon the amount
of humus or vegetable matter a soil
contains and upon the water content
of the soil at the time of working.
