I
Prepart County Exhibit*.
Following is an address by Presi
dent Whitaker touching Arkansas’
exhibit at St. Louis in 1903:
To the People of Arkansas:
We take this method of informing
the honorary commissioners of the
state, and others who are interested
in the great exhibit to be made by
Arkansas at St. Louis in 1903, that
our policy in the future, as in the
past, shall be as impartial and as lib
eral to each county in the state as
our knowledge and ability will per
mit us to be. To make a perfect
success with the small amount ap
propriated by the legislature and to
place our state in the front rank of
other leading states, we have decid
ed that it is best to expend all the
money appropriated in the erection
of the Arkansas state building, less
what is required to pay current ex
penses; not only this, but add an ad
ditional amount thereto. This the
board of directors has to accomplish
by plans already laid down. Hence,
it will be seen that each county will
be asked to organize and adopt its
own plans and regulations best suit
ed to accomplish a successful exhibit
therefrom. Each county of the state
will be represented in St. Louis ac
cording to the amount of resources
she possesses and the amount of
money raised to properly place these
specimens on exhibition. However,
there will be a general exhibit de
partment to accommodate the coun
ties that arc too poor or arc not en
terprising enough to beautify and
arrange an exhibit of their own. To
do this successfully and for each
county to make a creditable exhibit,
I could give you no better advice
than to adopt the plans laid down
by Jefferson county in her perma
nent organization on the 12th inst.,
at Pine Bluff, a copy of which will
be furnished by Mr. Chas. Watkins
on application. For fear that other
boards might absorb and destroy the
usefulness of the parent board, I will
suggest that you direct all commu
nications of every nature relative to
work in hand to Mr. Chas. Watkins,
secretary board of directors, state
treasurer’s office, Little Hock, Ark.
Again, please do not tax your minds
with the plans, style or finish or pos
sible cost of the state building, as
that matter will be placed in the
hands of the best architects of the
country, to be approved by the board
of directors. Separate apartments
will be arranged for every county
in the state that wishes to make an
exhibit. Several counties can com
bine where they expect to advertise
the same material, for instance, the
mineral region, marble, etc.
So it can readily be seen that any
section will be allowed to get out as
large specimens and advertise them
in proportion to the amount she
wishes to expend on them. The plan
works no hardships on any one or
any section. Knowing these facts,
over half of the counties of the state
have organized for the purpose of
preparing and beautifying a speci
men lot of their county’s resources.
The state is being thoroughly arous
ed to this great importance and is
liberally responding. I want to as
sure the good people of Arkansas
that nothing is being left undone
that will place the state in the front
ranks of other states. The building
will exceed your most sanguine ex
pectations.
The manager and the assistant
lady manager to preside over this
grand display of Arkansas’ resources
will be selected not later than Thurs
day, the 10th day of October, 1901.
They will be chosen from among
the most influential and the most
distinguished people of the state,
, and while a great many will be dis
appointed, we feel that we can safe
ly say in advance that the appoint
ment will meet with the universal
approval of the public. Having laid
aside every personal preference, it
shall be our only aim to encourage
the selection of those who will best
advance the interest of the entire
state, and who are more in accord
with the duties that will be devolved
upon them. After these two posi
tions are filled the great work will
begin in earnest.
Renewing; Old Piutnrea.
The severe drought has been hard
on pastures, both on account of lack
of moisture and on account of over
stocking. The sod is killed out in
places, and weeds will come in. A
great deal of our natural pasture
land should not be broken except
when a new seeding becomes abso
lutely necessary, and the lifetime of
these pastures could be prolonged by
some attention right now. The best
way to control weeds is to crowd
them out, and there is no better plant
than timothy to do this until until
better pasture grasses can get a new
foothold. In September, no matter
if the weather is dry, a grain drill,
with sharp hoes, should be run over
all thin patches in the pasture, dis
tributing one-fourth to one-third of
a bushel of timothy seed an acre in
connection with 200 pounds an acre of
a high-grade acid phosphate. The
drill-hoes will put the thin sod so that
some of the seed will find fresh soil
FS!

■Bit.
for starting’ when the fall rains come,
and the trash of the old sod will fur
nish some winter protection to the
new plants. If some stable manure
can be spared for a light top dressing
it. will pay well in making a sod that
will choke out the weeds. We expect
too much of our pastures, and help
them too little. If the bare spots were
given some seed in bad years, and
some fertilizers were added after a
light scratching of the surface, weeds
would be kept under control, more
cesuewrarat:
grass would be gotten, and the break
ing-plow need not be used so frequent
ly on land that needs the protection
of a sod all the time. If we would
look upon pasture grasses as a crop,
and give them attention when most
needed, our labor would be rewarded
fully as well as it is when applied to
most tilled crops.—Farm and Fireside.
A Blank Day.—First Friend—“The birds
are terribly wild to-day.” Second Friend—
“Not half so wild as our host will be if it
keeps on like this.”—Punch.
