SIXTEEN AGOY COURSES.
Are Tree to Those Who Apply at Arkansas
College of Agriculture.
From the Extension Building of
the College of Agriculture at Fay
etteville little booklets are being
sent out on request entitled “Cor
respondence Courses in Agricul
ture.” They describe sixteen dif
ferent courses that any citizen of
Arkansas may take without any
charge except the cost price of the
texts used.
Few people are too busy to take
one of these courses. They an
swer the same questions that are
being sent to the cpllege every day
in dozens of letters from ewry
whefe. They answer thousands
more than should be asked.
Few farmers know all about the
principles of soil building, of crop
growing, of stock feeding of ferti
lizing, of gardening or fruit growing,
poultry keeping, dairying, breeding, j
or of livestock disease. Few of
the many teache'S trying to teach
agriculture know these things of
the last word about school ground '
improvement, farm arithmetic and 1
home sanitation. The boys and
girls of the poultry and pig clubs
want to know the business they
are following. Their teachers can
help them.
These courses have been ar-1
ranged to meet Arkansas needs.
They are just what the farmer is
looking for in beginning to diversify ;
Fifty people are already taking
these courses. Some schools are i
charging $15 to $20 for courses of
the same kind. Wouldn't it be a
good plan for our readers to write
to the College of Agriculture for a
booklet?

Wh.it Red Clay Did.
In a letter to the director of the j
Arkansas Experiment Station at
Fayetteville, W. H. Trull of Hills
boro. Union county, says:
“1 wish to give you my experi
ence with subsoiling a small plot of
worn out hill side red clay, subsoil
land, twelve by forty yards, on Oc
tober 30, 1 gathered forty bushels
of Nancy Hall sweet potatoes.
“Tne actual measurement of
this plat is a little less than one
tenth of an acre. In March of
1914 it was subsoiled each way
with a two horse subsoil plow at an
average depth of twelve inches.
In April this plat was planted to |
Irish potatoes, using five bushels
of green cotton seed as fertilizer.
“The deep breaking and trans
planting on flat beds then giving
shallow cultivation will produce
better paying potato crops. The
deep breaking system is the best
paying investment for the farmer."

Our Diminishing Death Rate.
Tne Census Bureau has recently
published some very incouraging
figures showing that the death rate
is steadily falling in the registration !
area of the United States, a pretty
fair test of the whole, as it includes
65 per cent of the population.
In 1913 the death was 14.1 for
each thousand of the estimated
population, which is a decrease < f
1 3 per cent, or one death in eight,
from 1 6.2 the average from 1901
to 1905. If the same rate hac
prevailed in 1913 as in the year:
1901-1905. there would hav'
been 1.025.446 deaths instead o'
890,823,000, an excess of 134.
623.

tricts was 12 7 and 15 in the citie

"Miss Gasaway. the noted inter
preter. scored a big success last
evening in her interpretation of
The Little Minister. There was
no disputing the talent of Miss
Gasaway. Her interpretation was
perfect, being nothing short of
marvelous and the audience which
had assembled to hear her was I
well pleased. No one was |
dissatisfied and the j
appreciation of Miss Gasaway’s j
clever work was stamped upon the j
features of those who saw and
heard her.”

conquered death and they will live

without price. They have shown I j
us how grand and noble it is to ! J
work for others; they have also ^

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The home is the greatest contri
bution of women to the world,
and the hearthstone is her throne.
Our social structure is built
around her, and social righteous
ness is in her charge. Her beau
tiful life lights the skies of hope
and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization.
Her graces and her power are;
the cumulative products of gen-' ■
erations of queenly conquest, and I
her crown of exalted womanhood !
is jeweled with the wisdom of!
saintly . mothers. She has been
a great factor in the glory of our
country, and her noble achieve- j
merits should not be marred or'
her hallowed influence blighted
by the coarser duties of citizen-1
-hip. American chivalry should ;
never permit her to bear the bur-I
dens of defending and maintain- •
ing government, but should pre
serve her unsullied from the ai
ded influences of politic-, and
protect her from the weighty re
sponsibilities of the sordid affairs
of life that will crush her ideals
and Imver her standards. The,
motherhood of the farm is our;
inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic we.llare and a
guide to a higher lite, but direct
ing the affairs of government is
not within woman’s sphere, and
political gossip would cause her
to neglect the home, forget to
mend our clothes and burn the
biscuits.
