Is Your Seed Tested? 1
The long, wet fall has made the seed situation serious. g
Tests of both corn and cotton show that most seed is g
only testing from 10 to 60 per cent- g
I PLANTING POOR SEED WASTES MONEY. |
Wastes the money it is worth as feed; wastes valua
ble time, you can’t replace; and eliminates the possibil- ]
ity of a good crop. \
TESTING IS EASY, NECESSARY j
AND PAYS BIG
If you have good, tested seed for sale, or if we can be S
of slightest assistance in giving information as to test
ing or in finding good seed near home, write ;

ber is presiding and he appoint
ed Col. George Thornburgh of
Little Rock foreman of the grand
jury. For the first time in
many years the familiar voice
of Maj. M. D. McCabe, the
crier, is not heard. He has been
■ seriously ill since last fall, and
has resigned, and Col. E. W.
Kimball has been appointed in
his stead.

Youny Man rvlust Have Friends,
For boys and young men friendship
is a prime necessity of existence.
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and
