Chills and fever is beginning tc
break the monotonous chain of
' ' good health we have been blessed
I ; with in this community.
Plant a Second Crop.
The potato crop of Arkansas is
■ now being harvested. Soon the
J summer vegetables and the melon
j crops will also have been gathered
. : and shipped out. Thousands of
! acres of good farming land will
thus be left unoccupied.
, Such land is often allowed to re
main idle the remainder of the
year. That is very poor economy.
Every acre of it should be made to
| produce another crop. The fall
1 crop should be just as profitable as
| the spring crop. Land that has
^already paid $25.00 or $50.00 an
acre might just as well be made to
pay another $25.00 or $50.00. It
will be better for having grown the
| second crop, for if it should lie idle
| it would grow a crop of noxious
j vegetation and become stocked
| with seeds of weeds and grass to
; give trouble next year.
Summer Crops Get the potato
land ready for planting by July 1.
, Plant it to a crop of whippoorwill
; peas or Mammouth soy beans for
( hay, a crop of Mexican June corn
for feed or a crop of Spanish pea
nuts for feed or for the market,
j The acreage planted to peanuts
1 this year is very small and factory
I prices for the product are sure to
jbe good.
Best of all. plant another crop of
i potatoes. The fall crop will prob
j ably bring a better price than the
spring crop is bringing. Every
bushel produced can be sold right
here in Arkansas. Do not fear
! competition from Northern pota
toes. The Minnesota or Wisconsin
potato grower cannot compete with
the Arkansas farmer in his own po
tato market.
lcuiu in a uuuiy puiver
| ized condition before planting the
! potatoes. Use the small tubers
1 left over from the first crop to
| plant the second crop. Lay these
: potatoes away in the barn loft or
some other cool, shaded place to
■ j season for a few days after dig
ging. In preparing to plant cut the
larger tubers in half, but leave the
i smaller ones uncut. Plant and
cultivate just as you did the spring
crop, only take a little more care
to conserve moisture.
Fall Crops The land on which
i summer vegetables and melons are
! growing will be ready for another
. crop by August 1. But this will
) be too late for the crops mentioned
■ in the foregoing. This land should
. i be utilized for turnips and for fall
- sown crops to furnish winter graz
I ing for live stock.
; Clean the land off. break it and
r thoroughly pulverize by harrowing.
, If possible give a dressing of well
> rotted manure for turnips. Plant
; soon after the first good rain in
August. Sometime between Sep
f tember 1 and October 15 plant a
) crop of winter turf oats, wheat or
s rye for winter grazing. This will
} save much costly concentrated
feed and. at the same time, keep
I the stock in excellent condition.

Organize New Citizens' League.
A large number of the employes
of the mills here met at the Union
church Tuesday evening at 8
o'clock and organized a new Citi
i zens’ League along similar lines to
I the one organized last September
with the following resolutions as a
guide:
Be it known. That we. the cit
zens of Hurtig. it having come to
our knowledge that the organiza
tion known as the "Brotherhood of
Timber Workers." has again re
newed its activities. and has de
dared its intention of afTilitiating
with the Industrial Workers of thf
World, an organization which
preaches Anarchism, disregard of
right or wrong, destruction of prop
erty or any other means to gain
the end sought: and
Whereas, We believe in good
government and good citizenship,
and believe that the organization
known as the Brotherhood of Tim
ber Workers is detrimental to our
interest and well fare, and further
believing in law and order and
right as opposed to wrong, and be
lieving that any differences that
might arise between us and our
employers can be settled in a spirit
of fairness between ourselves and
them:
Resolved. That we will organize
ourselves into a League to be
known as the "Huttig Citizens'
(jiBugmg uurseives mat
we will not join any labor union of j
the character advocated by the|
Brotherhood of Timber Workers or
the Industrial Workers of the
World, and that we will use all fair
i means to keep any one from organ
I izing a labor union in the town of
; Huttig. or any of the camps or
i other departments connected with
1 the business with which we are
: employed, and in pledging ourselves
sign our names hereto.
We believe that the advocacy of
a Thirty Minute Hour is as dishon
est as a Fifty Cent Dollar.
E. N. Collett was elected presi
dent. J. A. Hendricks, vice presi
dent. and A. F. Landers, secretary
and on motion the following execu
tive committee was appointed by
the president to conduct the affairs
of the league between meetings
and also to draft a constitution and
by-laws to govern the body: L.
M. Despain, Harry Bedford. J. C.
Benson. W. V. Anderson, G. S.
Farmer, W. H. Wheler, J. D. Loyd
and W. H. Moore.
Short talks were made by sever
al citizens present and it seemed
to be the sense of everyone pres
ent that no organization would be
permitted to get a foothold here
that would prove a detriment in- |
stead of a help to the employes. j
Tax Assessing Hates.

Iron Mountain to Changr Divisions.
According to orders recently is
sued by the iron Mountain railroad
the Natchez division will be abol
[ ished after July 1. A new division
known as the Louisiana division
will be created. The Louisiana
. division will include the line from
Monroe to Lake Charles: from
Gurdon to Ferriday through Collin
ston: the Little Rock &. Monroe
and Farmerville &. Southern
branches. Division headquarters
will be at Monroe.
Valley division headquarters wil
1 be at McGehee, and the lines in
cluded in that district will be the
; main line from Little Rock to Mon
roe, the Pine Bluff district being j
added: the Lake Providence dis
trict: the Warren and Hamburg
braches.
As at present constituted the
valley division headqu; Hrrs are at
Monroe with Superintendent A G. ;
Abel in charge. Headquarters of
the Natchez division are at Ferri
day with C. M. Andrews as super
intendent. It is rumored Mr. An
drews will have charge at McGehee i
and Mr. Abel will remain at Mon- |
roe.
Boys' and Girls' Clubs.
I wish to answer through the
newspapers some of the scores of
inquiries that are being received
from club members.
It seems that corn is suckering
badly. In general, it does not pay
to remove suckers.
Keep the cultivators going, but
do not run them morn than two or
three inches deep. Cultivate after
every rain, and at least every week
or ten days even if it does not rain.
Continue cultivating corn until it is
in tassel, or even in the roasting
ear stage. Cultivate cotton until
it is opening. Use a cultivator)
with many small shovels. A five
tooth or fourteen tooth harrow is
good. Do not plant cowpeas or!
anything else in your acre of corn
if you are tryir g for the largest
yield.
Girls should stake thpir tomatnos i
and prune them in accordance with
instructions from the Department
Keep a loose soil mulch of about
two inches all over your garden
plat. Restore this mulch after
every rain regardless of whether
there are weeds pi not.
A $300.00 Prize.
The Arkansas Bankers’ Associa
tion offers a $300.00 scholarship
in a reputable agricu'tural college '
for the member of the Boys' Corn
Club who makes the best record on ;
his acre of corn this year. The j
boy who wins this can attend col
lege two years. The State Agent
for Boys' Clubs is directed to ad
vance money to the boy as he
needs it in his college course, and
to advise with the boy concerning j
his school work.
This scholarship, like the schol-j
arship to the state fair and en-|
campment schools, is restricted to
club members who are 14 years of
age or over. Now. please under- 1
stand, boys, that those of you who \
are under 14 are still members of
the club and may compete for all
other prizes, either in the county j
or state, excepting only these
scholarships. You who are under
14 have the decided advantage
that some time you are going to be I
14 and then you can compete for
these scholarships. This age re
striction is made because boys tin
der 14. generally speaking cannot
carry college work.
Yours very truly.

A bank account induces the bank habit. The
First National Bank welcomes small accounts, even
if they are so small as to suggest to the depositor
th t it is hardly worth while. In encouraging small
accounts tl e Bank Ha.bit is fostered among the pco
!| pie. When your account begins to grow, you begin
0
0
to grow with it. It is the seed that develops you into
a strong man financially.
You can start an account with us for $1.00 and
we pay 4 per cent, interest on all savings accounts.
Now is the time to start.
