SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL
Editor Newark Journal. — On
the 4th Sunday in August our pro
tracted meeting commenced at
Tuckerman, with Bro. Ben May, a
layman of the church at Claren
don, assisting our pastor, Bro. W.
P. Talkington. Bro. May, though
only a layman, did all the preach
ing except one sermon by the pas
tor. We have had a gracious re
vival; about 40 or 45 conversions
and 5 or 6 reclaimed. On last Sun
day morning I, as superintendent
of the Sunday school, decided to
use the Sunday school hour in de
cision service for the Sunday school
scholars that had not already ac
cepted Christ. I made the appeal
to the boys and girls to repent of
their sins and accept Christ as
their Savior, and 25 boys and girls
made the decision. I never have
seen such a demonstration of the
spirit at one service in my life.
The boys and girls that were con
verted at this service were from
8 to 20 years old, most of them in
their teens, and 17 of the number
joined the church at the 11 o’clock
se rvice.
The meeting will continue all
this week. Bro. J. M. Talkington
of Beebe came in last night and
will do the preaching for the bal
ance of the meeting. We are ex
pecting great results the remain
der of the week, as many are ask
ing prayer at ever service and the
people are becoming more and
• more interested.
We thank God for this great re
vival and take courage.
Very truly, W. R. Rice.

FUND FOR SCHOOLS
Apportionment to Counties is An
nounced by the State Board
The State Board of Education
has apportioned the common school
fund among the 75 counties of the
state for the ensuing year on a per
capita basis of $1 95 for each child
of school age. The total fund from
all sources for apportionment was
$1,256,175 Of this amount $50,000
was given to 123 high schools of
the state under the state aid law.
The remainder went to the com
mon schools, with the exception of
an unapportioned balance of $715.
The total number of children par
ticipating is 617,365, or 14,139
more than last year. The per cap
ita apportionment is 10 cents less
than last year, due to the fact that
the St. Francis County funds were
not paid in, and also that the fees
from antitrust suits were $15,000
less than for the previous year.
The scholastic population of In
dependence county entitles this
county to $17,494.40 from this
fund.
The Newark district has 510
children of schoool age and will re
ceive $994.50 from the fund.
GOOD SCHOOL WORK
Mr. Editor.—I attended the clos
ing exercises of District school No.
54. The program was splendid, re
flecting great credit upon both
teacher and pupils. Prof. O. T.
Jernigan, one of the best teachers
in the county, has won the hearts
of both parents and children by
his faithful and earnest work done
in the school room. It would please
me greatly to give each pupil’s
name, especially the history class,
that answered the questions
promptly and with ease and grace
ful manner. Each scholar seemed
to be well trained in their studies.
The old saying "As the twig is
bent, the tree’s inclined,” and ear
ly impression follow to the grave.
Youth is a season of hope and fond
expectation and can never be re
called. It is for their own welfare
that teachers plead with them so
earnestly. It is encouraging to both
parent and teacher for the young
to use their best efforts.

ALFALFA MOST
PROFITABLE CROP
\dds Fertility to the Soil—Yields
Three to Four Crops-of Hay
Each Year in the Corn Belt.
EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP
The Introduction of Alfalfa as a Gen
eral Farm Crop in the United States
Will Revolutionize Agriculture—
Means More Live Stock, Better
Soil and Larger Returns From
the Crops That Follow.
3y PROF. P. G. HOLDEN, Director
Agricultural Extension Department
International Harvester Co. of New
Jersey.
Alfalfa Should be Grown
on Every Farm
1. It is a profitable crop.
2. Increases farm vale.es.
3. F.xcels every other crop
In yield per acre
In feeding value
As a drouth resister
As a soil enricher.
4. No harder to grow than clover.
5. Make a beginning—start now
grow some alfalfa.
Repeated experiments made by the
igricultural colleges, and the results
obtained by the actual growers of al
falfa in the seml-arld sections of the
west, throughout the corn belt states,
and in the south and east, are conclu
sive evidence of the great valug of
alfalfa.
There are few farmers whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rais
ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim |
to produce, as far as possible, his
foodstuffs upon his own farm.
During the last few years, the area
devoted to alfalfa has greatly in- |
creased in the region west of the Mis
souri river, and it is certain that
thero will be an equally rapid in
crease throughout the eastern and I
southern parts of the United States.
Many of the attempts in the past
to grow alfalfa in the humid region*
have failed, but with our present |
knowledge of the requirements of the
crop there will be little, if any, more
trouble in securing a stand.
Alfalfa will soon be grown abun- I
dantly and profitably upon every farm.
It is no more difficult to grow than
clover and gives double the yield. The
deej) rooting habit of alfalfa enables I
it to resist drouth when clover, tim ,
othy. blue grass and other forage
grasses die for want of moisture. Al
falfa roots grow deep Into the soil— I
far beyond the roots of other plants. ]
Its drouth resisting power is of no '
greater importance than its great
value as a soil enricher. The long j
coots bring phosphorus, potash and ,
other plant foods from below and ’
store them In the upper soil for the
use of other plants Experiments show j
greatly Increased yields of other crops ,
grown upon alfalfa sod.
Alfalfa Is rich In protein the most
essential element In feed to make I
bone, blood and muscle In growing anl- <
mala.
