from Delta.
Tennessee—Dry and hot with
general repots of deterioration
Shedding heavy and plants ma
turity forced. Bottom lands look
good yet, but hills suffered badly.
Arkansas—Excessive heat has
retarded picking. In southwest
nearly all open. General com
plaints. All correspondents say
deterioration has continued and
plant growth about stopped.
Louisiana— Matured bolls
promise fair crop—better than
last year, but nothing more can
be made owing to presence boll
weevils in large number.'. Fav
orable picking weather is desir
ed.
Oklahoma—Cotton nearly all
open in many places. Lint very
short. Too late for rain to be of
general benefit. Generally esti
mated 5 to 12 acres to make a
bale.
Texas—So much cotton is open
and picking has been so hard
pushed that September ginning
returns promise to be extraor
dinarily large- Rain in northern
counties if followed by very late
frost would be of benefit. Else
where of questionable value ow

open and 6 to 10 acres to pro

about Austin—San Marcos as

has reached point where good
harvesting weather is now most
important consideration.

; SHCi !:'1G IN 1913 WILL COMPRISE
LERS from other big
expositions.
Mars -j > nent Is Gratified at the Pro*
P2 - 3 for the Biggest Showing in
H.story of Fair.
i ....
i Here will be some big special
j features at the 1913 stock exhibit at
i 'be State Fair, which will he on a
(greater and grander scale than ever.
I of these features will be the
I exhibition tor the first time in tho
j South of a herd of Dutch belted cattle
! i hose remarkable animals were zeal
| ou:sl\ guarded by the Holland govern
I tnent for centuries and it is only wiih
: in very recent years that any of them
I have been exported from that country.
It seems right that this exhibit
should be made by an Arkansan and
’be herd promi-vs to attract more
'■"utn state-wide attention, as tho
I urt eders of the r* entry regard this
j strain of the bow • as tlie coming
i combination beef and dairy rattle.
T he Live Slock Department of the
1 fair will surpass in size and n;:al
■v of exhibit and in importance to
the ; title of the state any former ex
hibit of live stock in Arkansas. This
vvis evidenced by the fact that the
national breeders' association in ail
classes of animals have given the Ark
ansas State Fair full recognition this
fear and have offered the national as
sociation premiums for prize winners.
It is only at the greatest state fairs of
he country that such recognition is
accorded, and with the year 1913 the
\ rkn naas exposition steps into its
rightful place as one of the big state
fairs c: the country.
Th:V means much to the farmers,
the dairymen and stock breeders or
Arkansas. At the fair will be shown
the pick and choice of the great
herds, pens and stables of the country.
Here they will have an opportunity to
siuay me umernm oreeas or siock ana
determine for themselves what, line of
breeding is best adapted to the cli
mate and conditions of Arkansas, and
which breed will bring them the great
est profit.
The cattle breeders of Texas. Okla
homa, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee
and many Northern p.nd Eastern states
have been entered for competition,
while the most prominent breeders of
j horses, swine and sheep from every
j section will he at the fair with their
| blue ribbon winners.
In the cattle department will be
seen Dutch Belted, Shorthorns, llere
fords, Jerseys, Holstedns, Aberdeen
Angus and Brown Swiss; in the swine
department the always popular Duroc
Jerseys. Poland Chinas, Berkshire®,
Yorkshires and Tamworths; in the
sheep pens the r'otswold, Southdowns,
Shropshires, Oxford Downs and Memi
nos. and in the goat pens the native
goats and the Angoras. Every class
of draft, driving and saddle horse will i
be seen in the arena and at the horse
show.
The farmers of Arkansas will find
the coming fair the greatest showing
of live stock and the best opportunity
to see and study the different classes
that has ever been offered the people
of the state.
To meet the demand for more ex
tensive entries the management is al
ready providing additional facilities
for housing and showing the live stock,
and both breeders and visitors will
find at Oaklawn park the greatest
live slock arena to be found in the
South.
Live Stock Parade Daily.
On every exhibition day of the fair
there will be a big parade of show an
imals of all classes. Blue ribbon win
ners from dozens of other fairs will
be in line, decorated with the ribbons
and premium badges they have won,
and the spectacle will be one to de
light the visitor who is a lover of do
mestic animals.
The mangement of the fair assures
■ exhibitors of live stock that there is
an ample supply of pure water from a
waterworks system permeating all sec
tions of the fair grounds. Feed of
afl kinds, the highest class, can he
obtained at sale stations right on the
grounds and convenient to stables and
pens, all sold at the prevailing market
price.
The apiary department of the state
fair is growing in interest each year,
largely through the untiring efforts of
the A. I. Root Company, of Medina,
j Ohio, who have made annual exhibits
! and offered special premiums to the
! bee culturists of the state.
The educational department will
' again be under the efficient supervis
! jon of George B. Cook, state superin
1 tendent of education. There are som°
' big new special features in this line,
! ; jvoiu ng some special scholarships as
1| awards for the best endeavor among
] the school pupils of the state.
I i —“ ;
Owing to the indications of a mam
31 nioth exhibit in the poultry depart
3! ment, the fair management has this
1 i year been compelled to increase the
facilities in the poultry exhibit hall
3 | which was already the finest in the
3 gouth. This year accommodation will
3 he furnished for no less than 3,000
jj head of poultry and pet stock.

ceen driven from his happy

reservations in the west, where,

extinct.
The Redskin has always been
one of the most picturesque as
well as cunning of the races. He
is quick of perception, fleet of
foot, loyal to a friend and un
yielding to an enemy. There are
many other things that make
the Indian interesting to people i
who know very little about them
or their habits. Even at this ad

people in America who have nev

W. L. Hall, farmer, R. F. I),
No. 2, Box 1)7, Newport, Ark,
says: “1 have never lost an op
portunity during the past six
years to praise Doan s Kidney
Pills. for what they have done
for me as well as others of my
family. They have made such
complete cures of kidney trouble
that it has not been necessary
for us to take them or any other
kidney medicine during the past
few years. One of the family
took Doan's Kidney Pills for
trouble with the kidney secre
tions, together with weak and
painful back. They cured her
and later I used them for a simi
lar complaint. Their action in
my case was just as satisfactory
and 1 was quickly cured. Doan’s
Kidney Pills were procured at
Dutton’s Drug Store, (now Wal
ker’s Pharmacy), and have al
ways been so beneficial that I
willingly confirm our former en
