RAISE BETTER COR,Y
Raise more and better corn is
the advice that is being given the
farmers of the state by Commis
sioner Phillips, who has adopted a
system of furnishing the farmers
with weekly bulletins on practical
subjects through the medium of
the state press.
“Last year there were 2,884,000
acres of corn planted in the state,"
says his latest bulletin. “The aver
age yield was 24 bushels. We can
easily raise this average to 50
bushels by proper seed selection I
and better methods of cultivation.
Also by planting our corn on bet-;
ter land than we used for this pur
pose last.
“Land that will produce only 15
bushels of corn per acre should
not be planted to corn, but planted
in cow peas, soy beans or some ot
her leguminous, nitrogen-bearing
plant. If you have only a few acres
of good land that you can use for
corn, plant this and by giving this
the proper attention make more
than you would on a larger acre
age with slip-shod methods of cul
tivation.”
Hon. Geo. A. Cole, president of
the Arkansas Farmers Union, and
president of the Arkansas Land
Congress, recently made a tour of
Texas in company with B. F. Yoa
kum of the Frisco, and since his
return is a greater booster than
ever for Arkansas. Mr. Cole is
pleasantly remembered by the citi
zens of Independence county who
heard his two able speeches at the
Land Congress Picnic in Newark
last summer. He is a plain practi
cal man, a graduate of the Univer- j
sity of Arkansas,and is thoroughly I
interested in the welfare of the
farmers of our state. He says Ar
kansas soil can raise anything he
saw growing in Texas, even along
the gulf coast, where land sells j
for $300 per acre. He attended a
number of farmers meetings and ;
learned much of their methods,
and says he would not trade Ar
kansas for the whole state of Tex
as, with the turbulent Mexico
thrown in for good measure.
VOTES FOR WO HEX
Shall women vote? That question
is being agitated in Arkansas just
now. It is a live question, and it
being discussed all over the nation.
What do readers of The Journal
think about it? The Journal favors
woman’s suffrage.
We believe that under a republi
can form of government one per
son has no greater rights than an
other, and that if any restrictions
are placed upon the ballot, they
should be educational restrictions,
or such as would disfranchise only
the ignorant and vicious, regard
less of sex, station or conditions.
But what do our readers think
about it? If you have never given
the matter any thought, do some
thinking, for you may be called
upon to vote upon the question at
the next election.
The Journal publishes a com
munication on the subject in to
day’s paper, and we invite our
readers to discuss the matter
through our columns. Tell us what
you think and why you think it.
Be brief and be logical, and your
opinions will be published regard
less of your position.
Its up to our own citizens to
make Newark grow and prosper.
Drones never built a town, and
real live people will not locate in a
town where the drones are in the
majority. There are very few
drones in Newark, and as a result
the town is growing. Let’s cultivate
the booster spirit, and when we
see any movement started to help
the town in a general way, let's
join in and help it along. It doesn't
pay to be a drone or a knocker
The man who follows that sort oi
policy may, for the time being
save a little money by it, but in
the long run he is loser.
This section of the country needs
a good road from Newark to Bates
ville, one from Newark to Cord and
from Newark to Oil Trough. A lit
tle effort in properly organizing
our forces and building these roads
would be time and money wel
spent. __________
In the several states of the
South where the Boys Corn Clubs
were in active operation last year
there were 1CX) boys who grew
more than 130 bushels of corn pei
acre. This is a good example ol
what the farmer boy can do when
he tries.

SUFFERED
23 YE&RS
Constant Sufferer From Chron*
Ic Catarrh Relieved by
Peruna.
Mrs. J. rl.
Bourland, San
Saba, Texas,
writes:
“For twen
ty-three years A
I was a con- n
stant sufferer ¥
from chronic f
catarrh. I had \
a severe mis- ;
ery and burn
ing in the top |j
of my head. *
There was al- i
most a con- V:s
tinual drop- V
ping of mucus
into my throat,
which caused
frequent ex
pec to ration.
My entire sys
tem gradually
became in
v o 1 v e d, and
my condition Mrs, j H. Bourland.
grew worse. I
had an Incessant cough and frequent
attacks of bilious colic, from which it
seemed I could not recover. My bowels
also became affected, causing alarming
attacks of hemorrhages. 1 tried many
remedies, which gave only temporary
relief or no relief at all. I at last tried
Peruna, and in three days I was re
lieved of the bowel derangement. After
using five bottles I was entirely cured.
I most cheerfully recommend the use of
Peruna to any one similarly afflicted.”
There is no question about the
I need of concrete walks in Newark.
They not only enhance the value
of property, but contribute to the
comfort and convenience of the
citizens, and give the town a decid
ed attractiveness to prospective set
tlers and visitors. What are we
going to do about it?
Let’s elect a live, wide-awake set
of town officials who will do their
best to push the interests of the
town; and then let every citizen
join in the good work. If we will
do this in earnest like we meant to
' do something, this will be the most
prosperous year Newark has yet
experienced.
The Walnut Ridge Times Dis
patch is a good paper, and it does
not hesitate to say so. If Lindsey
would just put whiskers on his pa
per, like they do up at Mammoth
! Spring, it would be a peach-ee.
The farmer who rattles to town
in an empty wagon and goes back
with it loaded with bacon, flour,
corn and canned goods, is a
scientific grower of farm mort
| gages.—Texarkanian.
A prominent Lawrence county
: citizen has been found guilty of
perjury and sentenced to a year in
the penitentiary. It is well to be
careful of we say, especially when
1 under oath.
Now that spring has come and
concrete work may be done with
out risk, would it not be a good
; idea to occasionally build a little
I concrete walk in Newark?
The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.
