SECOND ARKANSAS HOME
The old second Arkansas is
coming home. Advises receiv
ed officially are that the regi-j
ment is due to leave France
about June 1, and will arrive j
in Little Rock about June 15. i
The organization will be met
officially in New ork by a Rep
resentative of the governor,
who will remain with them
until they reach Little Rock.
There they are to be given a j
rousing reception. The plans
are not all worked out, but it is
expected to be largely spon
taneous. The biggest celebra
tion the state ever knew oc- j
curred in Little Rock when the j
armistice was signed and there
was no preliminary arrange
ment for it, either. So with |
the welcome that is to be giv-j
en the old Second, now the 142
Field Artillery.

THE 12 MILL TAX
One of the most encouraging
developments ol the year has
been the unanimity with which
the people supported the pro
positiop for a twelve mill tax
for the schools. The vote
against it in practically every
special district reported was
negligible. The people as a
rule are opposed to paying
more taxes, but when it comes
to the su-pport of the schools,
they are not reactionaries. As
has been remarked by many,
“the sky is the limit when it
comes to the schools.” Con
trary to the predictions of a
few the twelve mill tax has be
come popular.
The schools of the state are
growing rapidly, even more
rapidly than the population.
The Little* Rock District for
instance, employs 280 teachers
In two ye ars, the enrollment
of pupils has increased over
2000, which means an increase
of 53 new rooms of about 40
pupils each, or four twelve
room buildings. The increased
tax there will produce about
$90,000, it is estimated, and
half of this increase is to be
applied to an increase in the
meagre salaries now being
paid the teachers. As a class
the school teacher is the poor
est paid of all profesions.

RAINY DAY FARMING
The frequent rains and cold
weather have made this an un
usually backward spring and
while corn, cotton and other
cultivated crops are being re
tarded, grass and weeds are
flourishing. Care must be tak
en not to begin cultivating too
soon after the rains, for if stir
red while wet, the ground will
run together and pack, which
condition is nearly as bad as
having a carpet of grass and
weeds. If possible, plow shal
low or run a scrape through
the middle as soon as the top
of the soil is dry enough. In
a day or so follbw this cultiva
tion with deeper plowing,
which should clean the crop
fairly well.
While the ground is too wet
to plow, iti is a good idea to set
the mower or binder or plows
in good working order. Sprays
for controlling the potato wee
vil, cabbage bug, plant lice,
etc., should be mixed during
dry weather. If the rainy da™
are thus utilized there will be
less worry while the unfavorl

weather conditions become
more favorable.
If the grass and weeds have
taken the crop, or if backward
spring weather has retarded
planting till it is too late to 1
plant cotton with safety, piant
peanuts, which can be seeded
as late as June 15, and which
if properly handled, will bring
as much money next fall and
winter as other crops.
