PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
A rkansas, as second class mail matter
Of course we all knew all the
time it was going to happen just
as it did. __________
A great trouble with many peo
ple who want to see things reform
ed, is that they leave it all to the
public officials.
The man who was sent to the
insane asylum because he insisted
that there were 20 in his family,
when there was in reality only he
and his wife, may have figured
that his wife was 2 and he was
the 0. _
“Under Socialism every man
will be a king,” says the Appeal to
Reason. But The Journal would
suggest that if you have made ar
rangements with St. Peter for a
crown, it would be well not to be
too hasty about cancelling your
order. _
The officers of the State Teach
ers Association are preparing an
excellent program for the next
meeting of the teachers, to be
held at Little Rock during the
Christmas holidays, and every
active teacher who can do sc
should attend this meeting.
One of the most valuable asset:
one can have in this life is friend:
—not those who are friendly be
cause they desire to use you t<
further their own interest, butloy
al friends who find pleasure in as
sisting you. There is but one waj
to have such friends and that is t<
be friendly. Those who take littli
interest in others will find tha
little human interest will be taker
in them, when perhaps this in
terest is greatly needed.
There seems to have been n<
valid flaws found in Amendment
No. 13, to limit sessions of th<
legislature, and it is a pretty wel
established probability that th<
next legislature will be the short
est in many years. It is safe tc
say the session will be extended
fifteen days, which may be done
under the new law and the mem
bers receive half salary, but at the
end of the fifteen day extensior
all salary stops, and a bill entitled
“Nothin’ Doin’ ” will be adopted
by unanimous vote.

HERRINGTON & SON
FARMER WHO BURNS
STALKS IS ROBBER
—
Robs His Farm of Fertility and
Reduces His Own Income
Says Mr. Harkham
With many farmers stalk burn
ing will soon be in order. The
reason usually assigned for this
practice is that the stalks must be
gotten out of the way. That is
not, and never has been a valid
reason. The stalks will not be in
the way if they are cut and deep
ly turned under.
The man who burns stalks burns
fertilizer and fertilizer costs mon
ey. According to Dr. Cyril C.
Hopkins of the University of Illi
nois, the fertilizing value of corn
stalks is $3.50 per ton, and cotton
stalks $10.00 per ton.
But their fertilizer value is not
I the only, nor even the greatest
; value the stalks have. When tum
I ed under and allowed to rot they
furnish large quantities of humus!
| to the soil, and most of our old
lands are literally famishing for
humus.
Let a few days of dry, hot
weather come in the summer and
the crops of old fields look as
though they had been scalded.
The trouble is a lack of moisture
and the lack of moisture is due
mainly to a scarcity of humus
decayed vegetables matter—in the
soil. Humus may be called the
reservoir of the soil. One pound
of it will absorb and retain as
much water as five pounds of
sand. The more humus the soil
contains, therefore, the more
water it will take up and retain,
generally speaking. The humus
acts like a sponge.
The burning of stalks rapidly
brings about both poverty and
drouthness of the soil. The writer
has seen good farms ruined by
this prodigal practice in less than
ten years.
Turning the stalks under and
allowing them to rot has all of the
merits and none of the objections
of burning them. To do the work
satisfactorily the stalks should
first be cut. It will pay every
farmer to buy a good stalk cutter.
The machine will reimburse him
full the first year. After the stalks
are cut they should be turned un
der deeply. This will get them
out of the way of future cultiva
tion and causes them to rot rapid
ly. It is desirable to turn the
stalks under as early as possible
so they will rot before crop time.
But keep fire out of the field.
