ABOUT COTTON SITUATION Some Suggestions for the Tenant and the Landowner Are Made By Agricultural Expert. iRy W. C. Lasseter. Agronomist., Ar kansus Experiment Station.) An established system of farming cannot be changed over night. The following recommendations are made in an effort to suggest a means to make the best of the situation for the immediate present. This necessitates making the living at home. For the Land Owner. The land owner should adopt a sys tem to the one outlined. He should plant on his own account the follow ing crops: Five acres of oats for each horse on the farm. • Six to eight acres of corn for each horse on the farm. On> acre of rye or wheat or oats for grazing purposes for each horse on the farm. One acre of sweet potatoes for home supply and with which to furn ish seed potatoes for tenants and others. Two acre* of peanuts, two acres of early cowpeas, and two acres of Dwarf Essex rape with oats for hog uasture. One acre of sorghum in drill, half to be used for syrup and half for stock teed. All of the land should be seeded to owpeas or soy beans and as soon as the oats are harvested. And corn land should have cowpeas planted in the rows with the corn early in the reason. The landlord should keep sufficient hogs to supply every family on the place. Each landlord should keep sufficient cattle to furnish cows for each family on the place. These to be bought by the tenant at market price. For the Tenant. Each tenant should be encouraged to grow: Three acres of winter oats for each horse used. Five acres of com for each horse used.

One-half to one acre of garden to he devoted to English peas, bunch beans, pole beans, butter beans, cab bage. Irish potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, tomatoes, squash and possi bly other vegetables for family main tenance. These various articles should be grown in sufficient quantity that Trish potatoes can be stored for use for some time and such products as beans, peas, tomatoes and corn may be canned for winter use. Each ten ant should be encouraged to keep two hogs for each horse worked. Each tenant should keep a sufficient num ber of cows to provide milk and but ter for the family. FROM PARLOR TO BARN.

War reminiscences and some ex pert opinion on battle came with the American cabin passengers of the Cunarder Lusitania. Mrs. Henry Clews, wife of the banker, expressed herself strong about the attitude of the German authorities at Munich, where the police took her finger prints and ordered her to report daily to the police station. She said the “Ger mans are Huns, and always will be Huns.” When Mrs. Clews was stopping at the Savoy Hotel in Carlsbad before going to Munish she saw two French chefs employed there dragged out and lieaten by a mob. She had heard that the American flag was a protection and wore a little one for several days. •When she went into the street with out the flag soldiers thrust bayonets almost into her face, she said. Mrs. Clews carefully noted the con duct of officers and soldiers. W’hen she was not wearing her little flag she was treated haishly. Much had been said about the civility of Ger mans to Americans. It seemed to her to be largely a mechanical na ture. Apparently there had been im perial orders to cheer Americans on the departing trains from Germany. She said she dreaded to think what might happen to Americans in Ger many when the lack of American sympathy for the German cause l»e --came known there. Capt. Le Vert Coleman, who is at tached to the United States coast ar tillery at Fort Monroe, and who has studied in a French military school, was assigned to a French regiment at the Battle of the Marne. He saw the German retreat from in front of Paris, and said it was due chiefly to the master stroke of Gen. Joffre in launching the army of Paris against the Germans at the right moment. Capt. Coleman said the Germans would never again get so close to Paris as they were when the Paris army fell upon them. At Maux Capt. Coleman was in the trenches with the French and Turcos and saw their bayonet charges. They were remarkable, considering modern conditions of warfare. The French commander coolly calculated that in each bayonet charge 50 per cent of his men would be killed or wounded, but that when the men not incapaci tated reached the German trenches they would be cleared. The Turcos sometimes distanced the swift French men in dash and spirit. They pre ferred hand to hand conflict, and be fore charging removed their shoes and socks and with knives between their teeth advanced with their bay onets ready for action.—New York Sun. How’s This?
