!not well drained alsyke is the
clover to grow.
Crimson clover is fine and it
I makes an early spring pasture.
It is one of the best clovers for
the soil. It takes well drained
land, and will not grow where
the soil is sour, and needs lime
stone. I would advise trying it
only in a small way at first- Then
;be guided by your experience.
Bur clover is fine for a winter
pasture and cover crop. A cov
er crop you know is any crop
that stays green and covers the
ground in winter and keeps the
land from washing or the plant
food from soaking out with win
ter rains. Bur clover can be
planted in September and will
do for pasture during the win
ter. It seeds and dies in May
or June, and will come again in
the fall. It is a good crop to
plant between the corn or cot
ton rows in the fall. If it is al
lowed to go to seed in the spring
a crop of something else can be
grown during the summer and
it will come up again in the fall.
It is a good pasture in combin
ation with bermuda. As the bur
clover dies down in the spring
the bermuda comes on, and the
two make a combination sum
mer and winter pasture without
reseeding- They are both soil
builders.
Sweet clover is another that
has received lots of attention
from agriculturists and agricul
tural papers. For many years
it was regarded as valuable and
in some places it was regarded
as a pest. It has come to stay,
however, and has many advant
ages. It is one of the richest
soil builders, and yields well for \
pasture and for hay. It is said j
that stock do not like it at first, j
but if starved to eat it they will
then grow very fond of it. It |
will grow on heavy, hard and j
poor soils; in fact on most any !
soil to some extent. It will inoc- !
ulate a field for alfalfa, and it I
should be tried out as a fore
runner to alfalfa. The roots are
soft and when dead decay rapid
ly and help the soil in that way. I
In fact, it is one of the best
crops known for enriching the
soil. It can be pastured in the
spring and summer and plowed j
under in the fall. When cut for
hay the cutting should be done
when it is about 20 inches high, i
and not too tough. It is very I
rich in protein and fine for feed, I
and especially good for milch 1
cows. It will grow on wet land '
or dry- It will stand heavy
rainfalls or drouth. In planting,
the ground should be rather firm
and not loose.
Remember that all clovers are '
good for your land. Growing :
clover is like having a savings !
account in the bank- It keeps |
adding something. Try some of |
them*. If you can you might try j
them all. The experiment is
worth while.
JOHN H. PAGE, I
Commissioner of Agriculture, i
We Need More Clovers.
We need more clovers grown
on the farms in the South. The
clovers are legumfes and have
the little, bacteria at the roots
for gathering the nitrogen from
the air, and thus enriching the
soil. Nitrogen is the costliest
ingredient in fertilizers. If we
grow clovers we are making a ■
portion of fertilizer while we are
making hay and pasture. If we i
turn under a green crop of clov-!
er in the fall we are enriching i
the soil much more. The tops
as well as roots contain nitrogen. ;
A clover crop weighing 2*4 tons
to the Vfcacre, when plowed un
der is worth as much as ten tons
of stable manure to the acre, ac
v cording to Dr. Cyril G- Hopkins,
and he is one of the leading soil
experts of this country. There
are different kinds of clover, and
they all have their advocates
and good points.
The common red clover is
good for pasture and hay Most
everybody knows about it, but it
isn’t grown enough.
Japan clover, or Lespedeza,
grows wild on the old fields in
most parts of the South. It
makes a good pasture, and a
good hay crop when grown on
good land. Stock are very fond
of the hay. It is small, and
does not grow high, and ma
tures for cutting in September.
On good land it will make more
than a ton to the acre. If cut
late it will reseed itself.
Alsyke clover is good for wet
land. It makes a good pasture
and hay crop. If your land is

NEWPORT’S REPLY.
.
Newport Accepts the Evidence
and Many Newport Readers
Will Profit By It.
Which is the more weighty
proof—a few words from a
Newport resident, whom we
know and respect, or volumes
from strangers in distant towns?
There can be only one reply.
Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel St-,
Newport, says: “I had a con
stant ache in the small of my
back- Stooping or lifting made
me suffer intensely and I felt
languid and worn-out most of
| the time. My kidneys didn’t act
as they should. On a friend’s
advice, I got a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills from Walker’s
Pharmacy. After using them, I
was free from the ailments.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
(•
simply ask for a kidney remedy
j—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Porter had.—

Vote For Act No. 3.
The Times is very much inter
ested in the adoption of Act
No. 3, initiated by the people of
Arkansas, to be voted on in the j
September election- A copy of
the Act is published in this is
cue of the Times, and we hope
every voter in the county will
read and study it carefully, to
the end that all may vote on it
intelligently. This is the Act
that provides for publicity in
public affairs, and while its
passage will mean a considera
ble amount of additional legal
advertising for the newspapers,
yet it is a measure which will
save the public $10 every time J
it makes $1 for the newspaper (
man. It is a law wrhich will pay
its own way, and then some.
This Act will require the pub
lication of a Financial State
ment of all cities and incorporat
ed. towns be made each year, j
showing in detail the receipts
and expenditures, to whom and |
for what purpose; it will re-j
quire the publication of annual I
reports of the commissioners
of all special inijprovement dis
tricts, the reports of the com
missioners of accounts; a syn
opsis of all general laws; all
general orders of the railroad
comm|ission; a summary of the
proceedings of the board of e
qualization; a list of all claims
allowed against the count, to
whom and for what purpose;
and other things of vital im
portance, a full list of require
ments which are printed in
this paper, and which we hope
you will read.
How many cities and towns
in Arkansas furnish the voters
and the public a financial state
ment twice a year? When Act
No. 3 becomes a law, each muni
cipal corporation will have to
publish in the newspaper a com
plete and accurate statement of
its affairs, showing receipts
and disbursements, from what
sources and for what purposes;
the amount of money on hand
at the beginning and at the end
of the period. This alone should
be enough to cause every resi
dent of an incorporated town or
city in Arkansas to vote for Act
No. 3.
Ignorance of the law excuses
no one, is a well known princi
ple, yet this same principle
costs hundreds of business men
and business houses of Arkan-:
sas thousands of dollars a year
and causes many persons guil
ty of no wrong intent to suffer
punishment because the Legis
lature passes hundreds of laws
and there is no provision made
to inform the public generally
as to what these laws are. Act
No. 3 submitted to the people in
the September election, should
be passed if for no other reason,
because it provides that a sum
mary of all the general laws
passed by the Legislature shall
be published in each county in
the State for general informa
tion.—Forrest City Times

The Cheapest Advertising.
“A newspaper advertisement
strikes the eye the moment the
sheet is opened/ says W. L.
Douglass, the big shoe man,who
spends about $200,000 annually
in newspaper advertising. He
says further that that very fact
is the reason he chooses the
2 ewspaper rather than any oth
er advertising medium. This is
one very good reason why
newspaper advertising is the
cheapest regardless of price.
Let us look at diffei’ent kinds
of advertising, such as personal
solicitation and personal letter
writing, and see how they com
pare with newspaper advertis
ing. We do not refer to circu
lar letters, bills, etc-, because
from the standpoint of the local
merchants these only act as an
auxiliary advertising, and suc
cessful advertisers only regard
them as such. But personal so
licitation by the local merchant
and printing prospective custo
mers personal letters to com
pete with newspaper advertis

Bat Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
.his place, says: “I suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
! but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using it
It did me more good than all the medi
cines 1 had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say* they have
been benefited by its use. There never
ias been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with CarduL 1 believe it is
■ good medicine for all womanly trou
bles."
For over SO years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman's sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you. as it has a
I million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.

Personal solicitation and per
sonal letter writing are very
expensive to the local mer
chant, in fact so expensive as to
be practically prohibitive.
Take personal letter writing
as an illustration because it is
far cheaper than personal solic
itation. The right kind of a $5
ad put in a paper with 2,500
circulation would be read by
10,000 people. Same substance
put into a letter, each letter
typewritten, mailed under a
two cent stamjped envelope, ad
dressed and sealed as personal
letters must be, and sent to 10,
000 people would cost $200 for
postage stamps and $100 extra
for printing envelopes, etc.,
making a total of over $300.
And the cost to personally so
licit the 10,000 people would be
something enormous. — Ex
