Planting and Cultivating Corn and Cotton.
As the spring opens and the
planting season comes upon us we
are reminded that, after ali, and
notwithstanding the fact that Ar
kmsas has special advantages for
the growing of various profitable
crops and grasses and incidentally
in raising stock, the fact remains
that Arkansas crops will again this
year, as heretofore, consist mainly
or cotton and corn. Consequently
we should give attention to the
things that will produce the best
results in the growing of the main
crops. Much has been said and
written about seed selection and
land preparation, drainage. de< p
fall plowing, 1t~. Now comes the
matter of planting and cultivation'
It is far better in planting both
cotton and corn to adopt the flat
method, to be followed by level and
shallow cultivation. Some land is
so level and so poorly drained as to
rmder this method more or less
impractical. In such cases it will
be necessary to bed tne land, but
the old time high ridges should be
abandoned and where the land will
permit, beds wide enough for two
o- three rows mace, with water
furrows between. A good plan
would be to throw up small beds
between larger ones, so that ti e
corn or cotton would be planted in
them and below the level of the
larger ridges cr bee’s. Then as
the season advances the larger
ones between the rows can be
worked down with harro -s and
small tools, and eventually result in
leveling the whole later in the
season after the standing water
has disappeared.
If the crop can be planted level
the harrow or weeder can be run
cross wise of the rows when the
corn or cotton gets up. and the
weeds and grass be cleaned out.
Some of the corn or cotton will
thus be torn up by the roots, but
there will be ample for a good
stand. By cultivating young cot
ton this way the first and second
times it will require much less wo k
to do with the hoe, and when it
comes to chopping the cotton the
task will be a much lighter one.
Then follow with shallow c lti
vation with side harrows and you
will find that one man can cultivate
about half as much more and do
the work quite as well.
A farmer from Oklahoma west
of Mena wrote sometime ago that
he followed these and other sug
gestions contained in the weekly
1 tters last year and .that he made
a better crop than any of his neigh
bors who refused to do so and fol
lowed the old methods.
In using fertilizer or manure be
surd to thoroughly mix it in the
ground. The roots will find it and
gjt it if you do so.
By all means do not over-crop
yourself. Do not plant mo-e than
you have labor or teams to cultivate
well. Make allowances for sick
ness in the family or loss of team
labor through sickness or other
wise. Also allow in advance for
rainy days. Calculate and pitch
your crop so you can cultivate it
and make a big yield. It is too bad
for a farmer to make a poor crop
because he has undertaken more
than he can do well.
Don’t forget the hay crop and
the pastures.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
Powerful Locomotives Delivered.
Delivery of twenty-five freight
locomotives purchased by the Mis
souri Pacific-Iron Mountain in Jan

Arkansas State fair.
Hot Springs. Ark. Hot Spr'ngs
has decided to hold another state
fair, without the aid of the state
and financed by the citizens and
business men of Hot Springs. The
initial steDS in promulgating the
Ninth Annual State Fair of Arkan
sas have been taken first, by the
raising of $10,000 to guarantee
the management against loss: sec
!ond. by electing Col. S. W. Fordyce
president and W. W. Waters sec
retary. and by p rfecting the per
manent organization to carry cut
the next big industrial and agri
cultural exhibit.
it is no secret that Hot Springs
expects an appropriation from the
state legislature in 1915 for the
State Fair, but in the meantime
the patriotic and public spirited
people of the nation's greatest
health and pleasure resort have de
cided once more to shoulder th
responsibility and to make the 1914
! fair the banner one of its history,
i The dates for holding the lair
| have been set for November 9th to
i 14th, incusivs. Following the great
'state exhibition, the exhibits, or the
best of them, will be sent to the
Panama Exposition at San Fran
cisco, a $5,000 fund having already
been provided to defray the ex
penses.

An exchange has done a great
deal of figuring with a view of ex
plaining how it is so many editors ,
really get rich and why it is that
they need no moneyv ana can be j
put off until the last other debt is j
pai j. This is the conclusion:
After-a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured out
how so many country editors get;
rich. Hce is the secret of the;r
success. There is a child born in
the neighborhood. The attending),
physician gets $10. 7 he editor
gives the ioud lunged youngster aj
great send-off and gets $0. It is
christened, and the minister gets j
$5. and the editor gets $00. It i
grows and marries. The editor
publishes anotherlong- winded flow- !
ery article and tells a dozen dif
ferent lies about "the beautiful and i
accomplished bride." The rr.inis
ter gets $10 and a piece of cake
The editor gets $000 and a request
to carry the groom's subscription
account another year. In the j
course of t; me shr- di su .The. doc- ’
if* g ts frorh f5 to $700. the nrn- f
ister gets from $5 to $100. the'
editor publishes a notice of death
ana an obituary two columns long
lodge? resolutions, a lot of poetry
and a card of thinks and gets
$0,000. No wonder so many
country editors get rich.

Cat's Long Walk to Old Home.
The story of a notable journey of a
cat from Kingston. Surrey. Etig’aud. I
to its former home at Glastonbury, in
Somersetshire, a distance of about Kill i
miles, is now told by an astonished i
correspondent.
In April last a cat. mottled gray
and described as half Persian in ]
breed, was sent from Glnstonbury,
where it bad been reared, to the ma
tron of the Kingston Nut ing home. -
It was sent In a packing drilled j
with air holes and obviously the ant j
mat bad no opportunity ol marking
the points ol its Journey. Soon after
arrival at Kingston the cat was lost,
and despite the most diligent search
ing. no trace of it could be found.
The matron of the nursing hone bus
now received a letter from (Huston- j
bury stating that the cat has found iis |
way back to its old home It arrived
emaciated and foot sore and appnr- I
ontly had walked the whole of the
lit:’, miles.
The letter describes the eat “on its
arrival as "a mere shadow of its for
mer seif" and expresses the belief
that although terribly weak through
its wanderings, it can te nursed back
to a healthy condition
