years and six months, died at 5:45
o’clock Tuesday morning at the St
Francis sanitarium, Monroe, La.,

fever.
The deceased was born February

and had been employed as shipping

pany here for the past two years,
being an efficient and trustworthy
employee and liked by all who had
dealings with him. He was taken
sick about a month ago with typhoid
fever and was removed to the St.
Francis Sanitarium about two
weeks ago where he could get the
best of attention.
He leaves an affectionate father.
L. W. Landers, cashier of the Bank
of Marion, one sister and one
brother, besides a host of frienesto
mourn his untimely death.
Tne funeral services were held
at Farmerville after the arrival of
the train Tuesday afternoon and
were conducted by Rev. Coburn, of
that place, and the remains laid to
rest in the Farmerville cemetery.
Several beautiful floral designs
were sent by friends and the funer
al was largely attended.
Exposition Motes.
Arkansas lumber dealers are re
sponding generously to the oppor
tunity presented to them by the
Panama-Pacific International Ex- i
position Arkansas Commission to;
contribute their products to the (
Arkansas State Building at the;
Fair. The visible interior wood- ;
work will be of Arkansas native
lumber contributed by the lumber
interests of the state.
. Every.safeguard will., be used to
insure competent and careful ex
penditure of the people's money.
The commissioners appointed by
Governor Hays, through their ex
ecutive committee, will compile by
hws and working plans to see that
every dollar given to the fair ex
hibit for Arkansas is expended in
such manner as will proyide the
greatest return for the state. The
commissioners will put their seal of
approval on these by-laws at the
meeting to be held August 29.
The ladies of the state are to be i
given full recognition for the pow
erful part they can play in pro- j
moting the success of the plans for ;
a state exhibit at San Francisco, j
A board of lady managers to act as
an auxiliary to the commission will
be announced at a later date.
.
With the present distracted con
dition of affairs in Europe, the
United States will have everything
to gain from the international fair,
particularly in cinching the vast
fields of trade in South America.
This is the frank opinion of Presi
dent Moore, and he reasons the
matter out in cold logic. If some
of the great nations of Europe want
to engage in war and let their trade
get away from them their misfor
tune becomes the great gateway to
opportunity for the United States,
and especially the South.

Only Th:rty Minutes Behind.
Although Joe Sehon was confi
dent that he would market the first
bale of cotton here and receive the
oremium and ginning charges free
which were offered by Neel &
Brasher, he was doomed to disap
pointment. as George Dollar, who
lives between Sadie and Litroe, ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon at
3:00 oclock, just thirty minutes
ahead of E. F. Woolley, who was
laughing up his sleeve because he
had beat Joe Sehon. We were
unable to ascertain the weights of
tne two bales, which were ginned
Wednesday. A number of farmers
living near here have considerable
cotton open and the gin will bt
busy for some time after next week

Nation Facing Meat Famine.
Economic experts of the Federal
Government are giving the high
cost of living problems their con
sideration. and are investigating
the high prices of meat. The De
completed a census of the meat
producing animals of the United
States and finds that there has been
a decrease of 4,183,000 head and
an increase of $176,530,000 in
value during the past year. Cn
January 1. 1914, the herd num
bered 144,507,000, compared with
148.690.000 head a year ago.
The bulk of the nation's decreas
ed meat supply is in the swine herd.
Compared with last year the num
ber of hogs in the United States
has diminished 2,185,000 head;
cattle 175,000 head and sheep
l ,763.000 head. The major por
tion of the increased values is cred
ited to the beef animals. The val
ue of all cattle excluding milch
cows, when compared with last
year, shows an increase of $166,
688,000; swine have gained $9,
842.000 in value, while sheep have
depreciated $1,476,000.
Notice to the Public.
I will not be connected with the
work at Neel & Brasher's gin this
season, as I have a lung trouble
and the doctors think it best not to.
Mr J. A. Cole, a man of long ex
perience in tne gin business, will
run the gin, and Mr. S. R. Neel
will buy cotton and seed and pay
highest market price for same.
Respectfully.
J. T. Brasher.

C <m*i*sloiier Pag>.’i Weekly Letter.
There is no question about th<
value of alfa f a as both a money and
feel crop, but there is some ques
tion a to whether it will grow ii
all sections and under all conditions
Many of our farmers in North
western and Northeastern Arkan
sas have been having great success
with alfalfa without much prepara
tion and without inoculating. And
nany in all sections have failed
nd have come to the conclusion
.hat alfalfa is not adopted to their
soil. In most cases we find the
cailure dm to indifferent prepara
ion. lack of lime, too many weeds,
ailure to inoculate either the soil
>r the seed or failure to select a
well drained, fertile piece of land
Sometimes one of these necessary
^teps is left out and sometimes an
other. and usually that farmer can
report failure with alfalfa. All are
necessary, and before you can say j
you have given alfalfa a fair trial
you must be able to say that you
dilligently met with all of the above '
requirements.
On some soils there may not be
a need fjr lime, but in the great |
majority of cases there is a need
for lime when alfalfa is planted in
Arkansas soil. Sometimes farmers
have been successful without inoc
ulating but it is best to inoculate j
and be on the safe side. If alfalfa 1
is such a valuable crop it is certain
ly worth giving a fair trial.
We began last spring to getting
ready for an experiment with alfalfa I
this fall. We manured the land,
sowed oats, turned und«r the stub
ble, dr lied cow peas and worked
them clean and turned under the i
stubble, the soil was limed, and j
now is being thoroughly prepared j
fpr the seed which wilt be inocuU
tfitf: sewer JrtW lre. iwmtr-tNi
first good season after the first of
September, and- in my opinion!
nearly every one of the 2,000 far
mers who agreed to Five alfalfa a
fair trial have done all of these
things, and if alfalfa fails with all
of these essential things done, we
can truthfully say that alfalfa is not
adapted to our soil. There will be
but few of these farmers who have
taken all the necessary steps that
can say next July that they have
failed with alfalfa.
1 am getting a number of re- I
quests daily to be put on the alfalfa
list. It is too late now to properly j
make the experiment. 1 have al- j
ready had the lime shipped out and
j have mailed out the culture for in
; oculating the seed and all proper
steps have been taken in getting
■ the land ready. The seed will be
mailed out this week to those far
mers who requested them last
spring and ha,ve made pieparation.
It would hardly be fa;r to alfalfa
I for a man to undertake the experi
! ment now without having time to
: get ready.
If you want to try a little »vpe
riment now, I would advise you to
select a small plot of land on which
there has been a clean cultivated
crop. Select a well drained, fertile
soil. Give it a good application of
barnyard manure and work well
into the soil, and give the soil a
thorough preparation. Then lime
it and work the lime into t.he soil
and either inoculate the soil with
sod from an old alfalfa field or in
ocuiate the seed with commercial
culture. You can get the seed from
any seed house. Sow about 20 to
25 pounds of seed to the acre about
the first good season after the 1st
of September. But do not try al
falfa and expect success without
taking all of these steps. At any
rate do not be sure that it will not
grow on your lanti until all of the
necessary things have been don^.

When anyone gets established in a certain habit they
find it very hard to break away from that habit, and we say
they are in a rut.
Let us not forget, however, that there are different
kinds of ruts that one may get into, and some of these are
very good ruts indeed to get into.
Some men get into the rut of spending thoughtlessly
everything they earn, live hard all their lives, and old age
and sickness to them is a real calamity. Other men, who
perhaps earn no more than these, get into the habit of sav
ing a part of everything they earn, which is a very good rut
to get into. They think of their own and their family's fu
ture and piovide for it by saving while they have earning
p>wer.
Which rut are you in? Get into the habit of saving,
and after the habit is formed it will be an easy matter to
lay up something for the future.
We will help you save.
