Arkansas Produces $6,238,726 In
Minerals.
Arkansas is first among the states
in the production of two minerals,
bauxite and novaculite. the former
being the ore of aluminum and the
latter the source of the larger part
of the oilstones produced in the!
United States. 1 he principal min !
eral product of the state, hov/ever. '
is coal, the annual value of which
constitutes over 50 per cent of the
total. The total value of the
mineral products of Arkansas in ,
1912 was $6,258,726, against
$5,864,822 in 1911, according to
Edwards W. Parker, of the United I
States Geological Survey. The
coal production was 2.100.819
sho't tons, valued at $5,582,789.
in 1 91 2. against 2, 106,789 tons. :
valued at $3,596,749, in 1911.
The coals of Arkansas are gener
ally of high grade, particularly in
the eastern part of the field, where
they approach anthracite in charac
ter. The semianthracite of Ark
ansas is an exceilent domestic fuel,
reaching markets as far north as
Kansas City.
Bauxite is second among the
mineral products of the State. In
1912 the stone quarries of. Arkan
sas furnished products valued at
$513,844, exclusive of novaculite
and of limestone b"rned for lime.
In 1911 the quarry products were
valued at $526,352. The clay
working industries, while not highly
developed, take fourth place in the
value of output. In 1912 the clay
products of Arkansas, about 75 per
cent of which consists of common
brick, were valued at $462,605,
and the sand and gravel pits yielded
$393,639. The only metalliferous
products of Arkansas are lead, zinc,
and manganiferous ores, and of
th°se. zinc contributes more than
$ 100.000 to the total value
Other commercial products are
fuller’s earth, lime mineral waters,
natural gas, phosphate rock, and I
slate. Some diamonds are found
in Pike County.
What is Good for Headache
One lady says after suffering
dreadfully for about seven years.!
she tried Hunt's Lightning Oil. I
which almost instantly relieved her
and has been entirely free from
those dreadful headaches sinoe.

Trom Cradle to Gallows.
A man committed murder, was
tried, found guilty and condemned
to be hanged. A few davs before 1
his execution he drew upon the wall
of his prison a gallows with five i
steps leading up to it.. On the first
step he wrote: "Di obe ience to
parents,” on the second step.
“Sabbath breaking." on the third
step. "Gambling and drunkenness."
on the fourth step.''Murder.” The
fifth step was the platform on
which the gallows stood. When a
child disobeys his parents, tie takes
a step in the wrong direction and
knows not where it will end. Ex
change. __
A Painless lleada< he
Is there such a thing as Painless
Headac’ e. Painless Neuralgia.
Painless Rheumatism, Hunt’s1
Lightning Oil will make the pain go
away, and the suffering cease.
That's why Hunt’s Lightning Oil is
so popular, and praised so much.

Tall Plowing and deep Tillage.
Fctll plowing and deep tillage are
important factors in the growing of
good crops. The bad weather tlrT
has pr vailed this fall has delaved
the gathering of the cotton and the
corn crops, and of course the farm
ers connot break the ground for the
next crop until the present one is
gathered, hence many farmers will
be prevented from breaking their
land, or a Dart of it. until after the
first of January. However, those
who can should brea^ all the land
they can without delay. By fall
breaking a greater amount of green
stuff and, vegetation will be turned
under, an1 humus added to the
soil. By adding humus you get
more organic matter into the soil.
I and it becomes enriched and other
wise improved thereby. The vege
table metier turned under will
decay and have a beneficial effect
on the soil. No soil will continue
to make good crops without organic
matter. Turning under the weeds,
grass and stalks will not meet every
purpose but it will go a long ways
towards maintaining the product
iveness of the soil.
Deep tillage serves another pur
pose. It gives a better seed bed
and more loose soil to hold the
moisture next year while the crop
is growing, and also goes a long
way in preventing washing. If
soil is plowed shallow the soft
pulverized dirt or top soil will easily
wash away. If plowed d=ep the
rainfall will ue absorbed to the full
depth, and the washing wil be
lessened. Let us take an example
of the difference between shallow
and deep breaking as applied to a
corn crop in the growing season.
If you lay off your rows three and
a half feet apart and plant the corn
in the drill .12 inches apaff, you
will have a soil sur face to support
1 each stalk extending from the
I stalk to the middle of the row. on
'each side, or 21 Inches each side,
making a total of 42 inches, and
the width of this strip would be 6
inches each way between the stalks
or a total width of 12 inches.
Multiply the 42 by the 12 and it
makes a surface of 504 inches to
i each stalk on which the winter
! rains fall. If you break your land
4 inches deep you will '-ave in
: cubic inches 4 times 504 or 2016
cubic inches of loose soil to catch
the rain and hold the moisture to
! catch the rain and hold the mois
| ture to feed eacn stalk of corn.
Now suppose you should break
I your land 8 inches deep. You
would have 4032 cubic inches of
loose soil to hold moisture. Not
only that, but you would have the
same proportion of loose soil in
which plant food would be made
available, by bei tg released and
are ited. and by having moisture to
take up the plant food and convey
, it to th- roots qf the plants. There
would also be ihe increased pro
portion of loose soil for the feeder
roots to mane their way in search
of plant food. Then ist t i. reason
able to "uop^se that that the
growth h op would be better
and the yield greater without any
additional labor or cost in cultiva
ting the c-op?
This example will apply to any
j otha-crop as corn. However, it is
i not best to break your land too
deep. Do not break your ground
more than 2 inch’s deeper than
you did the last time, unless you
use a disk plow and thoroughly
1 mix the soil. If you desire to go
deeper it will be alright to subsoil,
and in fact subsoiling will be a
good plan anyway.

Guy Taylor for Re-election.
| We carry this week the an
nouncement of Guy Taylor, of
■ Strong, for re-election to the office
of road overseer of Lapile town
ship subject to the action of the
Democratic primary next spring.
Mr. Taylor is now serving his
second term and has tried to do
his full duty to the county in his
work, hfe believes the experience
he has ha while. 1 coking after our
roads makes him better qua fied
to build the proper kind of a road
than an mexperienced rriarj but has
nothing to offer against any of his
opponents and realizes they have
the same right to want the office
that he has. The excessive rains
during the late summer and fall
have made it hard on Mr. Taylor
but h^1 has done all anyone could
have done under the circumstances.
He asks your support on his past
record and his own merits and will
endeavor to do even better work
in the future than in the past.
