HARROW WILL
HELP COTTON
As Well As Coin Unless For
mer Is Bedded—it Is the Op
ening Fight Against
Grass.
h-uch corn and cotton of re
cent planting is now coming up
and is ready to receive atten
tion. It would always be better
if the corn and cotton both were
harrowed after it came through
the ground, running the harrow
across the rows. It is not al
ways practical to use the harrow
on the cotton where it is bedded
and for this reason it would be
! better to not bed the cotton, but
to level the bed or plant level.
Where the land is low and
| wet, this plan will not be best, as
the bed is necessary to keep the
I young cotton out of the water
iand prevent it.- drowning out in
! the spring rains. If it is practi
j cal to run the harrow across the
rows of corn and cotton, it will
prove a good thing. It will loos
en the ground and will rid the
' field of a good deal of young
grass and weeds. It may seem
! like it will be too destructive,
but experience will teach you
different and you will find that
you have a good stand left.
Be ready to meet the great
battles you are sure to have
with grass. Wet weather will
most likely come along and keep
you out of the young corn and
cotton longer than is good for
the crop, but keep things mov
ing so that you can be in the
field every time the ground is
dry enough to cultivate. When
ever the ground is too wet to
ploy, be getting your plows, and
tools, gears, etc-, ready to pitch
into the crop at the earliest
moment without delay. By
keeping up with your work and
always making prepartion in
advance you will be better able
to win the battle with the grass
and keep your crop always
growing. If it gets too wet and
stays that way too long, take
up the hoe and go after the grass'
and weeds, anyway. Do not
plow when the soil is too wet.
It will be hurtful to the grow
ing crop.
Now is the busy time to get
busy and keep busy until the
crops are made. Close applica
tion and unrelenting energy will
make a good crop in face of lots
of bad luck sometimes.
JOHN H. PAGE,
Commissioner ofAgriculture.
Speed Chosen by Companies.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.—J. S.
Speed, for several years a spe
cial agent of the Liverpool, Lon
don & Globe insurance company,
and for twenty years engaged in
the insurance business in Ark
ansas, has been elected actuary,
or “common expert” for the in
surance companies doing busi
ness in Arkansas to comply with
the act of the last legislature.
The act requires fire insurance
companies to file schedules of
their rates with the Insurance
Commissioner, and keep him ad
vised of all changes.
As this act will require the
listing of all policies, and every
rate must be shown, it will take
sometime to get the companies
all on an equal footing- It is es
timated that a department will
have to be maintained for this
purpose, with a force of at least
twenty clerks. The Insurance
Department of the State Audi
tor’s office Monday afternoon
consented to a common rate
clerk for all companies, and gave
the companies ninety days in
which to get to work, the act be
ing made effective January 1. It
is figured that the companies
must spend about $100,000 an
nually to comply with this law.
Representatives of nine gen
eral agencies outside of Arkan
sas, were here Monday to agree
on the actuary.

i LACK OF CARE WILL RUIN
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAIR
I
Sa\e It With Herpicide.
Aside from combing it when
ithey think necessary many peo
| pie give no attention whatever
!to their hair. Then when the
hair begins to fall out it never
joccurs to them that their trou
ble is the result of peronal care
lesness.
An occassional application of
Newbro's Herpicide will not on
ly prevent loss of hair but per
mits a luxuriant growth. Hair
losses are attributable to dand
ruff and the germ that causes it
The results following the intelli
gent use of Herpicide are fre
quently of a surprising rnttpv.
It removes the scale-like accu
mulations, leaving the scalp
clean and free of dirt and thus
allowing the hair to grow un
hampered by dandrulf.
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c
and $1.00 sizes is sold and guar
anteed to do all that is claimed.
If you are not satisfied your
‘money will be refunded.
Applications may be obtained
at good barber shops.

Life Companies Fight .Income
Tax.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.—Life
insurance companies of other
states are flooding Arkansas
with circular letters to the poli
cy holders, requesting them to
send a form letter to the Con
gressmen and senators who re
present this state in Congress,
urging them to vote against the
Income Tax section of the Tar
iff bill. The circulars declare
the tax measure is “economic
folly.”
The circulars call attention to
the fact that they will be taxed
one per cent of their net income
if they are conducted on the mu
tual plan. These same compan
ies object to the measure be
cause it exempts mutual frater
nal bodies, but does not exempt
the mutual regular insurance
companies. The companies do
not call attention to the small
amount the policy holder is tax
ed under the measure, but take
it for granted he should be
against the bill because it will
cost millions annually to the in
surance companies, even though
the cost to him is but a few
cents per annum.
Trying Alfalfa On State Farm.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 28.—Mem
bers of the Board of Peniten
tiary Commissioners are firm
believers in the value of alfalfa
as a hay crop and are confident
the State farm can be made to
produce a sufficient amount to
make it a profitable venture.
For the purpose of experiment
ing with alfalfa, the Commission
has directed James McCook, su
perintendent of the farm, to
plant ten acres. If the crop
turns out as well as the Com
mission anticipates, Jhe state
will next year enter into the cul
ture of alfalfa on a large scale.
Cotton and corn are up on the
farm, and the prospects are for
a large yield in both. The state
will this year have 3000 acres in
cotton and 1500 acres in corn, an
increase of about 500 acres in
corn and 300 acres in cotton.
The Commission is not experi
meeting with short staple or
new grades of cotton ^
sticking to the standard long
staple cotton which was produc
ed with such good results last
year.
