CLOVER CROP
IMPORTANT FACTOR
-
i In Contributing To Success On
The Farm L'rged by State
Commissioner.
—
The final cultivation of the
corn and cotton crops have now
been made, and much of the hay
has been made, and the time for
harvest is coming on and will
soon be here. There is yet a
short interval in which the far
mers can prepare land and make
ready to put in a small acreage
of some of the most important
leguminous crops for a winter
pasture and cover crop to keep
j the land from washing and also
j from leaching, and makes a good
] winter pasture for cattle and
j hogs, as well as other stock. If
jj you have a good Bermuda pas
| ture, plow it up during this
I month and harrow it down and
II sow it to Burr clover. It will
£ make you a good pasture all win
1 ter, and last on through the
i spring, until the Bermuda comes
1 out again. Then it will die down
S and give way to the Bermuda,
Sjand will re-seed itself next fall.
I This will give almost a year
1 round pasture for stock, and
J *will enrich the land too.
j
, Crimson clover is another
I good one, and wnne it may De
a little difficult to get a stand,
it is one of the best legumes you
1 can get, and provides more nit
3 rogen gathering nodules than
3 any of the others. Crimson clo
3 ver can be seeded later. An
3 other good one is Vetch. Try
3 some of it. The experiment is
3 worth trying. It will make a
3 good pasture, will produce lots
3 of hay, and is a fine soil-build
3 er. It would not be a bad idea
3 to sow any of these grasses in
§ the corn field, going through be
ll tween the rows with small har
§ rows. Later, when the corn is
l gathered there will remain a
3 good winter pasture and a cov
er crop too
l If you cannot persuade your
H self to try out any of these new
^ crops, then try some rye. Most
= everybody knows about rye and
^ what it will do. Rye may be
il sown between the corn or cot
=j| ton rows in the fall and makes a
=j good winter and spring pasture,
l and will help the soil, besides be
]j ing a fairly good cover crop. But
i be sure to try something. You
^ really can’t afford not to. Then
5 there is the alfalfa. Some of
1 the best and most progressive
^ | farmers have been trying it out
T and succeeding. It sometimes
^ 'akes perseverance and patience
= but they will win in most cases.
3 If your soil is sour, add some
l ground limestone. If you will
ij apply to the Agricultural Dc
| partmept at Washington, or the
county demonstration agent,
] you can gell free,

tul * o pup your laud in good con
dition and have well pulver
ized. It is best to use a plot of 1
gr . r h..: ha - been in pea -
gra,S'. or used in some way to!
keep free front weds, or on .
wh. _t the weeds have not seed
ed his season. Then use plen
:.y >f seed. Sow about thirty
pounds to the acre. If you have
tried alfalfa before and did not
get a stand, try it again on the
same ground; do not change its
location- Some of the best al
falfa producing land in the coun
try has required us many as the
third sowing to get a good stand.
Each time it is re-seeded the
soil is becoming inoculated, and
that is necessary to maintain !
a good stand,
Take care of the ditches now. j
Clean them out and cut the !
weeds and briers off. If you !
don’t they will fill up so badly ■
this fall and winter that you may j
find the job too big for you next j
spring, and when you are press
ed for planting time you may
find the ground too wet for
cleaning ditches or planting eith
er- Attend to them now. Take
care of the hay and cut all you
can of every kind, even unto the
crab-grass. Save it all. The
stock love it and it is easy to
feed. Remember the County
and State Fair. Go and take
something to exhibit if you can.
Give my regards to the hogs, the
real money-makers on the farm,
and tell them I hope they will
make it through to “acorn time,
if they have been neglected, as
many have.

Free Treatment For Rabies.
Little Rock, Aug. 11, 1913.
To the County Judge,
Newport, Ark.
Dear Sir:
I am pleased to advise that
the Arkansas State Board ol
Health is now prepared to give
free anti-rabic treatment to all
indigent persons bitten by rabid
dogs or a dog suspected of being j
rabid.
In order to receive the treat
ment it will be necessary for
you to certify to the indigency
of such persons by issuing a
formal order to this Board lor
said treatment. There are sev
eral hundred cases reported for
the state each year and it will
be a saving of thousands oi dol
lars to the citizens of the State
for people to have this treat
ment free. Please understand
that in no instance will the
State Board of Health give
treatment for pay. All cases
must be declared indigent by
you. Please give publicity to
this notice in the press and to ,
the physicians in your county so
that citizens may avail them
selves of the services of the j
State Board of Health.
I wish, for your further m. or
L
motion, 1w .-talc that the State
Board of : -ait'. i> doing it< host
to serve the people and to carry
out the provisions of the law
Thanking you for your co
operation in the matter and ap
preciating a reply from you. 1

Your,.-, very truly,
Morgan Smith,
State Health Officer.
Many Would Be On Staff.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 18.—Gov
Geo. W. Hays returned Monday
morning from Hot Springs,
where he spent two days as the
guest of the citizens. He began, j
soon after hi ; return, to figure j
upon the personnel of his stall,!
and will make an announcement
before the end of this week.
When the proposition was;
first considered, it was thought
Gov. Hays would have little to
do in naming the members, but J
as soon as it was known a staff
would be named, many applica
tions were made for places upon
it. As it is a question of select
ing among friend^, Gov. Hays j
must take more time in delibera
ting, but he will probably make
the selections with regard to
the military bearing of the indi
viduals, for Gov. Hays desires
an imposing appearing staff.
STEADFAST CONFIDENCE
The Following Statement Should
Form Conclusive Proof of
Merit to Every Newport
Reader.
Could stronger proof of the
merit of any remedy be desired
than the statements of grateful
endorsers who say their confi
dence has been undiminished by
lapse of time? These are the
kind of statements that are ap
pearing constantly in your local
papers about Doan’s Kidney i
Pills. They are twice-told and I
confirmed with new enthusiasm
Can any reader doubt the fol
lowing? It’s from a Batesville
resident:
Mrs. Susan A. Alexander,
Main St., Batesville, Ark., says:
“I suffered from a dull ache in
the small of my back and had
dizzy spells and blurring of my
sight- I always felt tired and
lanquid and could hardly get up
in the morning. Doan’s Kidney
Pills rid me of the trouble soon
after I began using them. I ad
vise a trial of this remedy in all
cases of kidney complaint. My
former endorsement of Doan’s
Kidney Pills still holds good. I
think just as highly of them to- j
day as ever.” , j
