HOW HE MADE MONEY
Crop History of Smcad Prim. One of Union
tointy's Cotton Club Bojs.
—
After I joined the cotton club I
selected the same piece of lat d
that my brother had last year, and
he made a bale and a half to the
acre. It is a sandy hammock so l.
and sandy subsoil. On account of;
a rainy spring. 1 did not break the 1
land until the seventh of April.
1 broke the lard about six inches
deep. The next day 1 beddd the ;
land, opened the bed, put 200;
pounds of fertilizer to the acre in !
the furrow and ran a harrow over1
it and then planted "Bank Ac-,
count" cottoi. The next day it
came a big rain and packed the;
ground at.d 1 cid 't g t a good
stand, and had to re-plant twice
before 1 got a good stand. As soon
as the cotton was up 1 ran a spring
tooth harrow around it and in about
a week I ran it again. In a few
days I took a half shovel and sweep !
and swept it up. 1 then chopped
the cotton out. j
In a few days 1 ran the spring
tooth harrow again twice to the
row. In about a week I ran it once
in the middle. The next week 1
swept the cotton. The next week
I ran the spring tooth harrow in tht: j
middles again. Next I swept it
agiin. The following week I swept |
the middles and hoed the cotton.
In about a week 1 swept the cotton
and then I "laid it by” with two
sweep furrows in the middle, li
failed to state that it was hoed the ;
third -. ime, an 1 aTer the • third
sweeping I put in the furrow around
the cotton by hand 150 pounds
more of * Royal 6" fertilizer.
The boll weevi)6 got on my cot
ton as soon as the squares began
to form. They destroyed all of
the first squares until dry wea her
checked them. The rains in A gust
and September damaged my cotton
badly. The we.vils damaged it
about 25 per cent.
I made on two acres 3.745
po n ids of seed cotton. The cost
was $81.35. The value of the
crop, counting lint at 13cents a
pound and seed at 30 cents a bush
el, is $ 1 94 87. giving a net profit
of $.1 1 3.52. The cost of the lint
a pound was less tha l 6 '4 cents
1 won the fifth prize at the Coun
ty Exhibit, which was three dollars,
and would have gotten first prize
if 1 had had the lint at El Dorado.
The reason I didn't have the lint
was that the gin burned up and
burnt my lint.
Our cotton team from Union
county w >n third prize, $20, at the
State Fair Contest at Hot Springs.
My yield being the b st in my eoun
ty 1 won a scholarship to the State
F. r School.
1 also won the scholarship to the
Arkansas Fertilizer School, held
*
last August, on my record in the
corn club in 1913.

Every one who experts to re
member a friend or relative out of
town with a Chrismas pres nt
should have same ready for mailing
as soon after the 15th as possible,
as the parcel post system will be
put to an enormous strain this year
handling the heavy Christmas
business formerly handled by the
express companies.
If all will do this the clerks will
be able to keep up with the r work
and you will know that your pres

Son fxcell Father
There were numerous illustra
tions at the Shreveport State Fair
showing the advantage of the new
order over the old. but none more
striking than tne case of the father
and son with the pigs. Each one
carried a pig to the fair, the pigs
were of the same age and breeding :
from ihe same litter. The fath r
fed his pig and attended to it ac
cording to his long acbustomed :
method. The son adopted the
plan followed by the boys’ clubs.
When weighed by the committee
of judges the son’s weighed a little
over 300 pounds, and the father's
165 pounds. They were exhibited
in separate pens, but right by the
side of each other, and the contrast
was indeed amusing. It looks like !
the father will be forced to give
away to the son in some parti ulars
or else drpp out of the race. Ho

A. P. Reynolds for County Clerk.
O t announcement column this
week contains that of A. P. Rey
nolds as a candidate for the
nomination of County and Probate
Clerk subject to the action of the

He spent his youth in the public ;
schoo's of the county and the El
Dorado high school until prepared ^
for college. He was a student in
Hendrix college, one of the best in i
the south, for four years graduating
in 1903.
After leaving school he taught in
the public schoo s of the county for
ten years and was for two years
bookkeeper in his father's store at
El Dorado. For the past two years
he has had charge of the govern
ment demonstration work among
the farmers of the county and has
done a great work along that line.
His only experience in politics
was four years a o when he was a
candidate for this same office be- |
ing defeated by J. M. McCain who
is not a candidate for reelection.
He is well qualified in every wav j
to make an efficient clerk and 1
solicits your support on his own;
qualifications and will at all Limes!
endeavor to merit it. Don’t over
look his claims when deciding who
to support for this office.
Jim Dumas for County treasurer.

announcement of Jim Dumas, of
i Norphlet, as a candidate fcr the
! nomination of County Treasurer
| subject to the will of the Demo

Mr. Dumas is a native of Union
i county, having been born and reared
on af.rm. but had the necessary
ambition to secure a good education
by attending Ou*achita college at
Arkadelphia for five years, making
a record any young man could well
be proud of.
After leaving school he remained
on the farm and applied his know
lege in a scientific way for the up
building of the agricultural resour
ces of the community and county.
: His moral character is above
reproach and he has the necessary
i education and other qualifications
needed to make i capable official.
His family connections are large
and represents the highest class o'f
citizenship but he is the first one to
ask for a county office from the
hands of the party to which they
have always been loyal.
He solicits your support for this
Office on his own qualifications and
promises to be always on hand,
aourteous and willing to administer
the affairs connected with it n a
business manner. Consider his
claims before you cast your vote.

CAMtRA STORY Of li\T fl JS
Unusual Scenes Shown in P<iqr of.. Pictures
in I his Issue of the News.
There is an unusual feature in
the News this week and it is doubt
less pseless to call the attention cf
our readers to it. for probably dis
cover it as soon as they opened
their papers! We refer to the page
of Mexican war pictures which will
be found in this issue.
The methods of warfare in Mex
ico are so peculiar that warcorres-1
pondents and photographers have j
found it almost impossible to get
reliable news or pictures of the
battles that have been fought
Some unusually daring photogra- 1
phers, however.. secured the ,
pictures which we are printing this i
week. We secured the exclusive'
right to use these photographs in 1
our territory, believing that they
would be of unusual interest to our !
readers.
The reports which have come
from the Mexican battlefields have
told of terrible atrocities commit
ted by the soldiers of both sides.
Never before in a civilzod country
has war been carried on as it has
in the Mexican republic during the
oast few months. This fact lends
special interest to th^se pictures)
which •’re ^mong the few authentic
photographs taken in Mexico.
Hunt's Lightning Oil
This is the liniment that has
caused so much talk. So many
people are telling ho v it has re

wonderful remedy. Every di ujgist

J. M. Busby's Minstrels played
to a crowded tent last night. They
were by far the finest minstrrl
troupe that ever visited our city

minstrel shows could not ^ help but
be pleased at their singing a”d I
dancing, which was greeted with
round after round of applause. The
show is new. clean and up-to-daU,
replete with new songs, and cer
tainly deserves the excellent
patronage which it received. A,va:

The thr (test Spllrr
The demand for Bibles is p' e
nominally great tins year. and.
coming not only from every part of
the United States, but as well, from
all other parts of the world, make
plain that it is the most poi ula'
book in circulation.
T ,e most surpr s ng f ature is
t^e demand from China, which h is
been large for several months. I ut
w uch will be far more so this year.
Some idea of its vo ume may be
had oy the statement that it will
require $100,000 to meet it. and
the amount spent in the Unit d
States annually for me same pur
p ‘Sc is $200,000. In other words,
for every two dollars spent for Bi
bl ,s in ti is country, China spends a
dollar. A year ago this would have
bmn unbelievable and unthought
of.
This exceptional opportunity in
; the flowery republic is due to the
political changes in that country,
but incidental thereto is a reason
that must not be lost sight of.
