ural, Fruit and Live Stock
Exhibit at State Fair
Hot Springs, Sept. S.—The en
tries in the Farm find Mill, Horti
cultural and similar departments
at the State Fair are indicative of
the wonderful crops of all classes
that are being produced in Arkan
sas this year.
From the fruit district comes
reliable information that the sam
ples of fruit being preserved in
cold storage and preserved in jars
for the State Fair are more ex
cellent than those on exhibition
during the World’s Fair at St.
Louis.
Cotton and corn growers de
scribing their proposed exhibits
would startle belief if it were not
known well in character and repu
tation by Arkansas’ best farmers.
Then, there are the small grains,
the products of the vegetable
farms, the alfalfa, the rice and so
on through the varied list of Ar
kansas productions.
Then comes the magnificent tim
ber displays, showing Arkansas
the producer of the most varied
assortment of valuable woods of
any state in the I'nion. Closely
allied to these departments are the
various and widely diversified
mineral products.
The Arkansas stock in the live
stock division will l>e a splendid
show. Many entries of horses,
cattle, swufe, sheep, goats and
poultry have already been receiv
ed and there is no doubt but that
every section of this important de
partment will be valuable in qual
ity as well as quantity.
The visitors from afar, many
thousands of whom are dating
their proposed visits to this great
health resort so as to be at Hot
Springs during the exposition will
return to their homes with a high
er regard for Arkansas than ever
received before. Among these
visitors are many capitalists, many
prominent public men, many lead
ers in journalism and all other
lines.
Who can compute the value of
the exposition features of Arkan
sas' annual State Fair?
WATCH FOR SICK RATS
If any one, especially in the ru
ral districts, notices an epidemic
among rats, mice, rabbits, or oth
er small animals of a like sort,
they will confer a great favor on
the government by reporting the
fact immediately to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. It is not
often the government starts out to
propogitte a new disease, but it
has come to the conclusion that
this is the only way in which rats
and rabbits can be exterminated.
The Department has accordingly
prepared a circular letter asking
farmers and others to send in any
specimens of the above small ani
mals suffering from what appears
to be an infectious disease. The
yw

scheme is to isolate the germ of
j the disease and then cultivate it in
the government labrator.v at Wash*
ington, subsequently sending it
out in sealed tubes to spread hav
oc among rats and rabbits wher
ever they liave assumed the pro
portions of a pest. It may not be
generally understood by city dwel
lers, but rats and rabbits do mil
lions of dollars worth of damage
annually in this country. In some
parts of the west especially it is
impossible to replant the forest
reserves because rats, field mice
and rabbits eat up the seed and
nurery stock faster than it can be
planted. The same is true in a
great many orchards and on many
farms, especially in California.
No part of the country is immune,
and in 1904 rats and mice destroy
ed over one hundred thousand dol
lars worth of nursery stock in the
vicinity of Rochester, X. V. alone.
The government has been ex
perimenting with various rat and
rabbit diseases for a number of
years past, but it has not yet hit
upon exactly the right thing. Con
sequently the appeal has been
made to all farmers and others to
| help the Department of Agricul
ture by capturing and sending in
sick and dying rats and rabbits in
hopes that some acutely contag
ious disease may be found and cul
tivated.
WHAT ALFALFA WILL DO
An agricultural exchange says
that a grower of alfalfa who has
been in the business for *20 years
sums up the feeding as follows:
First, its feeding value in the
form of hay is far superior to that
of any other, and nearly equal to
corn, pound for pound; second, its
yield per acre is much larger than
that of any other grass; third, it
combines excellent pasturage with
its value as hay; fourth, it is one
of the best fertilizers of the soil:
fifth, once established in the soil it
will last indefinitely; sixth, a ton
of well cured alfalfa hay contains
almost as much protein as a ton of
wheat bran and is worth as much
for feeding.
BOLL WEEVILS SPREADING
The Texas Farm and Ranch
says: “The boll weevil has cross
ed the Red river on its pilgrimage
to the cotton fields of Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma. We have
received in this office numerous
specimens from Grayson and La
mar counties, where it is reported
the woods are full of them. It
will be but a few weeks or possibly
only a few days until the pest in
vades the Mississippi valley in de
structive swarms. Recent exami
nations in Texas by experts shows
how alarming the cotton situation
really is.’’

JOHN H. SLOAN KILLED BY A TRAIN
Was Run Over and Hody Cut in
Two on Trustle Near New
port Friday Night
Newport, Sept. 8.—John II.
! Sloan Jr., a young man well known
by all railroad employes of this
section, was killed last night by a
train on the first trestle north of
Newport on the Iron Mountain.
His severed body, part of which
lay on one side of the track and
the remainder upon the other, was
discovered early this morning by
some negroes walking to this city
from Diaz via the railroad track.
The sheriff was called and acting
upon his instructions, a hand car
conveyed the remains to town.
Young Sloan was a section for< -
man and came to Newport Frida.*
night on a fast freight. He went
on to Diaz, where he concluded to
walk back to Newport, three miles
away.
How the accident occurred no
one knows. The body was sever
ed at the loins, a bad gash was cut
in the head and one leg was brok
en in several places. The body
was sent to Little Rock tonight.
The dead man is thought to be
the same John Sloan of Palarm,
who on last Tuesday night saved
a passenger train from being
wrecked. He and his wife were
walking along the right of way
when he saw’ the switch was turn
ed and the passenger train ap
proaching. He used the one match
he had on a piece of paper, then
set tire to his wife's skirt, and by
j waying this the train was saved.
