DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS AND UNION COUNTY.
VOI . VII. NO. 26
HUTTIG. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. JANUARY 17. 1914.
PRICE. $1 PER YEAR
farm Demonstration to be Continued.
We learn with pleasure that
through the generosity of a num
ber of the leading business firms
and citizens of El Dorado that fai m
demonstration work will be co .t n
ued in this county the coming year,
under the supervision of the gov
ernment.
After the showing made ty the
boys’ cotton club of Union county
last year and the general good
which has been accomplished here
since this work started, we were i
surprised when the levying court
failed to make an appropriation for j
this work, as in that way the bur
den on everybody amounts to so j
little that it cannot be noticed and
causes those who are benefited
most by the work to pay their mite
along with the property owners in
the towns.
It is to be hoped now that we
are to have a demonstrator again
this year that the boys and girls j
on the farms will take a greater in- j
terest than ever before and that
Union county will rank betier next
year in the distribution of prizes
than it did this. Our boys of today
will be our farmers of tomorrow
and if they learn the advanced
methods now they will do a great
work, not only for themselves in ,
increased yields, but for the whole ]
county in the way of bringing in
new people and advancing the price
of our lands.
Rheumatic Pains
Every last one of them leaves.
The hurting is gone almost the in
stant Hunt's Lightning Oil is used.
The aching stops so quickly it is
surprising. Hunt’s Lightning Oil
is especiallly compounded to re
lieve pain. For neuralgia and
headaches it is a boon to humanity.
For cuts, burns and bruises it acts
as a healing oil. soothing the hurt
ing parts and preventing soreness.
Nothing better for chilblains. All
druggists in 25c and 50c bottles.
(inn Craig for Treasurer.
The News this week announces
Finn Craig, who is now rounding
out his first term as County Treas-!
urer, as a candidate for ra-election,
subject to the action of the Demo- j
cratic primary.
He needs no introducti m on our
part to the voters, as nearly all
know him and know his ability -to
do his duty. He believes in the
Democratic doctrine of two terms
far faithful service and refers all
to his record to prove he has ren
dered that.
Mr. Craig has given the office
hi; whole time and his best ener
gies. He is always at his post
He is careful and precise and ex
ceedingly neat and clean in the
way he keeps his books. He is
polite and courteous in his official
dealings with every one. He is
making his race on the records he
made and asks no one to cast his
vote for him unless, after investi
gation, he has found him worthy.
The grand jury, the commission
ers of accounts and the county
clerk, all of whose duties it has
been to examine his records, are
unanimous in their verdict that Mr.
Cr .ig has kept the neatest, the
most correct and most careful rec
ord of this office that has ever been
their privilige to examine. This is
a record that any treasurer and the
peegle of Union county may justly
feel proud of.
His past service is a guarantee
of h;s future faithfulness and he
will appreciate y~ur support and
do all he can to merit it.

Boll Weevil Damaqe In Arkansas. •
The boll weevil has caused a loss
in the production of cotton in the j
United States in excess of 10.000.- !
000 bales, which, at a value of on'y
$50 a bale, represents a financial
loss of $500,000,000. This is
only the loss in areas actually
planted. The reduction of the pro
duction of cotton due to the fact
that farmers refrained from plant
ing because of the fear that the
weevil would not allow the plant
to manure can never be estimated".
In Arkansas, during 1906, 1907
and 1908 the boll weevil was dis
persed over an area covering about
one third of the state. In four se
lected counties of the state the
crop for 1906 amounted to 75.426
bales. By 1 909 the crop of these
counties had been reduced by the
weevil to 26.962 bales, and in 1910
it was 35.496 bales. The aggre
gate value of these two crops w^s
about $4,500,000, whereas had
each equaled the crop of 1906 the
c tton for these counties would
have brought into them more than
$10,600,000.
Central Committee Notice.

mittee of Union County A'rkansas

rado on Saturday, tne 24th day of

Nun. W. $. Goodwin for Re-election
The News is authorized t' is
week to announce Hon. W. S. Goo<
win, of Warren. Bradley county, as
I a candidate for re-election as Rep
resentative in Congress from the
Seventh Arkansas District, suo
ject to the Democratic primary.
Mr. Good .vin is now serving his
second term and has made the
best representative the district has
had in years. He stands high in
the estimation of ms colleagues
and is a man that devotes much
time to studying on alT the impor
tant measures before Congress
so that lie can vote intelligent'y on
them.
He also looks after the interests
of his district and has Htroduceo
several bills for public buildings |
therein, among them one at our
| county seat. El Dorado, as well as
looking after our interests in the
way of river imDrovements. soil
surveys, etc.
If there is any office to which
tTie two-term rule would not app'y
it is that of Congressman, as it
takes about four ’’ears in this posi
tion to aitain the rank and ac
quaintance necessary to be able to
accomplish big uhings.
Mr. Goodwin is recognized as an
able man in Washington and is aj
credit to the voters who placed
him in his present position and it is;
his one aim to serve them well,
which his record proves he has
done up to the present time and he
will continue to do so if returned
for another term.
He will appreciate your support
and you cannot give it to a more
deserving, worthy and capable
man. ____

Free Alfalfa Seed
Sometime ago 1 called on Secre- |
tary Houston of the Agricultural
Department and urged him to send
into Arkansas 10.000 packages of:
alralfa seed for trial purpose. He!
did not see his way clear to grant
the request.
However. Iam going to furnish
it to those who want it and wili \
give it a fair trial. I am going to 1
furnish it if 1 have to do it at my
own expense. 1 he alfalfa seed1
will be put un in one-pound pack- !
ages. T will be pure and j
l tested. send a package of
the seed to any farmer who will ;
agree to prepare his 'and properly
and follow instructions in planting,
and make the proper report of his 1
experiment. 1 have great confi
dence in the od'conv- of th se ex- 1
perime its. I believe a w..l - bring
great results. Alfalfa is one of
the greatest crops on the farm. It
contain" lots rf feed vaiue and is!
the foundation of success in stock
ta sing. With plenty of alfalfa for
pasture for the hogs and hay f> r
the horses, mules and cattle, the I
farmar is sure to make money ard
live at ease, if he is thrifty. All
kinds of stock thrive on alfalfa
Tne hogs will eat the hay. When :
ground it makes good chicken feed.
Perhaps the best feature about
alfalfa is "hat it will do for the,
soil. It enriches the land. Its roots
go deep into the ground and loosens
the soil, and t ten decay and ada i
organic matter. The plants gath- I
er nitrogen from the air and store1
it in the soil. A.faifa is one of the
greatest plants to enrich the soi’.
No farm should be without alfalfa if
the soil will grow it. It wi 1 not
grow in some soils in Arkansas,
but the experiment is wort trying
unless you are sure your soil won't
grow it. To grow alfalfa the sod
must be thoroughly drained so the
water will not stand on it. Most
of the river bottom buck shot grows
it fine. A great many soils- need
more lime. Ground limestone will
fix it. Hardwood ashes will help.
1 o try the experiment the land
must be prepared in advance. A
small plot is sufficient. Sixty feet j
square is enough. Plant it to oats,
and after the oats then to peas, and
then turn the ground and thor
1 oughly disc and harrow befoi e sow
ing the alfalfa in the fall. See that
j no weeds or grasses go to seed in
the plot between now and sowing
time. If you want to try it let me
hear from you right away. Drop
me a card. I will try and get the 1
seed. Let us give alfalfa a trial. 1
