“BALANCE OF TRADE” SHOULD HELP.
If “protection” can make a coun
try prosperous the United States
ought now to have prosperity. For
we never had such protection as
now. A high tariff is nothing to it.
The way a protective tariff is
supposed to create prosperity is by
increasing the “balance of trade"
in our favor—that is, by making
our imports less than our exports,
so tnat the difference will come to
this country in money. Protec
. tionists take it for granted that ex
porting goods and importing money
will increase a country’s wealth—a
somewhat debatable proposition.
And here is our “balance of
trade” mounting up to $150,000,
000 in January alone, or at the
rate of $1,800,000,000 a year!
These are figures never ap
proached under the highest tariff
that ever was.
Under the present queer circum
stances we have a “free trade
tariff" and we have at the same
t me a huge balance of trade in our
favor. Both free traders and pro
tectionists, therefore, ought to be
satisfied and prosperity ought to
come.—Current Events.
THE MAN WHO READS IS THE MAN WHO LEADS
The man who reads is the man'
w ho leads. It is natural that this
ji<3. ;;Xhe aasefttor of
every action is a thought,” says
Emerson, and the richness or pov
erty of a man’s reading usually de
termines the richness or poverty of
his thoughts. The man who
doesn't read gets his thoughts only
from Dick, Tom, Harry and the
others in a little narrow neighbor
hood right around him. The man
who reads gets the thought of the
f iremost minds in his country,
state, nation, and the world.
A people are not educated if
they only know how to read; they
must actually read. If one goes to
school weeks and months, year af
ter year learning how to read—if
he is then too short-sighted to pay
a few cents a week for good papers
and books—he is like a man who
spends days and weeks breaking a
piece of land, getting it in shape for
planting, and then is too foolish or
stingy to buy enough seed corn or
cotton seed to plant it. Learning
how to read, prepares the mind,
cultivates it, makes it a fertile seed
bed, but then a man must fi'l it
with seed-thoughts. Books and
papers furnish the seed corn for
the mind. When a man says he is
too poor to pay two cents a week
for a good paper for inspiration,
help, intellectual food, seed
thoughts for his whole family,
ask him if he ought not to spend as
much for brain food as he spends
for tobacco.
"IE EVERYBODY WERY LIKE ME."
Well, suppose every citizen were
like me, what kind of a community
would this be? Would there be
more or less civic pride in the
town? If nobody took more inter
est in the public welfare than 1
what sort of community would we
have?
If nobody did more for the boys
and girls than do I, what sort of
training would our future citizens
have?
Perhaps I am a church member,
but I never do anything to help the
cause. 1 don't believe much in
home nor foreign missions—in fact
1 never lend a helping hand. I sel- j
dom go to church; the weather is j
never just right. The fact is, I
don't care anything about the
church and its work, and I leave it
to others. So far as I am con
cerned the Sunday schools may die
and the churches rot down, and the
preachers starve and the people go
to ruin.
The fact is, I don’t concern my
self about the welfare of anybody
but myself and very little for that.
Really, ho*w would things be if ev
erybody were like me?—Grumbler.
ALFALFA ON A LIME SOIL
Arkansas College of Agriculture Will
Furnish Directions For Shipping.
If you have had trouble getting a
good stand of clover or alfalfa, it may
be because your land is sour. These
two crops are very sensitive to acid
or sour conditions, and will not do
well on such soils. The acidity of
soils is due to the lack of lime, and
it can only be corrected by the appli- .
cation of finely ground limestone,
slaked linie, lime kiln ashes, or some
other substance containing lime. Any
one who suspects that his soil is acid
may have it tested free by the Ar
kansas Agricultural Experimettt Sta
tion at Fayetteville. Full directions
for taking and shipping the satnpiee
will be sent to all who apply at the
Experiment Station.
The business hen is an old stand
by, after all, when it comes either to
laying eggs or hatching of the chicks.
Except in cases when you want to
hatch a large number of chicks i n
short order the hen is a pretty reliable i
incubator just the same. Then give ij
her a fair show and she will come
pretty near making good.
In the addition of manure to the
garden, much will be gained if it is
thoroughly decomposed, as then it Is
more quickly incorporated with the
soil, and the plant food it contains Is
most readily availablei
THE NEW SERUM PLANT
Location of Building Changed to Fa
oilltate Shipping of Serum.
Government statistics show that 90
per cent of all the hogs that die in
the United States die from hog choir
ra. In the treatment of cholera amonf
hogs the demand for anti-hog cholera
serum has increased to such an extent
that it was necessary to erect a new j
buUdimr in vJUek to manufacture the 1
serum at Little Rock. The old build j
ing was located at Fayetteville. The
erection of the plant at Little Rock
was done to facilitate the shipment of
serum.
A site for the building was secured
near the Well Packing Company’s
plant and a modern sanitary building
was constructed to meet large de
mands in Arkansas.
The veterinarian at the Experiment!
Station has held meetings at various
places in the state, at which he hna
given special Instructions in the ad
ministration of this serum. The farm
demonstration agents have received
special instructions in the use of anti- j
hog cholera serum and these agents
have already rendered great service
in their counties in controlling this
dread disease among hogs.
By applying to the office of the state
veterinarian at Fayetteville or the
state demonstration agents at the Old
State House, Little Rock, or of your
local county demonstration agent you
can secure the aid you desire in com
batting this disease, which can be ab
solutely controlled by the use of the
serum.
R. M. Gow, State Veterinarian.
THE BLISTER CANKER.
Apple tree blister canker will never
disappear once it has gained a foot
hold in the apple tree. It spreads so
rapidly in the heart wood it soon In
vades the entire tree. The only rem
edy for prevention is to keep all the
wounds covered with a stiff white lead
paint Never use ready mixed paint,
as It often contains gasoline or other
Injurious substances. A little lamp
black may be used if white paint Is not
desirable.
THE WAR IS PLEASANT?
The European war has benefited
Greene county, according to Thos. J.
Bentley, special agent for C. W. Wat
son, state demonstration agent. Mr.
Bentley says in his report that last
year the war, the drouth, and the dem
onstration agent, working in conjunc
tion, caused several thousands of
acres more of wheat, oats, rye and
other winter crops to be planted in
Greene county, where cotton was for
merly the vogue.
BIG YIELD OF HAY.
From seven to ten tons of hay per
acre is the yield secured by E. E.
Randolph of Jonesboro, from the fol
lowing mixture: Cow peas one bushel,
soy beans one bushel, early variety
amber sorghum one and one-half
pecks. The rate of seeding, according
to R. R. McPherson, special agent of
the State Demonstration Work to
State Agent C. W. Watson, was one
and one-half bushels an acre.

Arkansas
On account of the critical condition which
confronts them, the railroads of Arkansas de
cided a few weeks ago to go to the people of the
state in a series of articles explaining a situation
which concerns the people of the state more than
the railroads. The Senate did not look with favor
upon the bill asking that the present maximum
two-cent passenger rate law be repealed and that
the Railroad Commission be authorized to estab
fr
lish, after careful investigation, the rate that
should be charged by the railroads, with the pro
viso that the rate would not exceed three cents a
mile.
It is to be regretted that the Senate could
not see its way clear to authorize the Railroad
Commission to regulate passenger rates as they
now do the freight rates, and that the railroads
did not secure the relief asked for. The railroads
believe, however, that they have won, because
they see the dawning of a day when the people
and the railroads will get together on matters of
such vital importance to each other.
When a man seeks an office in the gift of the
people, he goes out on the platform and outlines
the plans and policies which he'advocates, but the
railroads have no speakers, and, therefore, went
to the people through the»newspapers in paid ad
vertisements, openly and above board. In these
articles they asked the citizens of the state to
write their senators and representatives to give
consideration to the ratflrcad problem, and the
railroads take this opportunity to thank the peo
ple for their assistance iji a cause which the rail
roads believe and know is just. The response of
the citizens, through telegrams, letters and peti
tions asking the members of the legislature to
give consideration to the railroads’ claims was
far beyond the expecjtal ian of those interested in
this great public question.
The public cannot ei/adesthe* serious situation
that sooner or later mur,t rea»:h every citizen of
the state ; but in gdlngito the people with their
case as one business man goes to another, the
railroads have brought much neare r the day when
the people and the railroads will work together
in harmony through a perfect understanding of
the problems that confront each> other.
