Volume 7. Still Equipment Is Seized At War Eagle Raid on Moonshine Still West of War Eagle Mills Results In Capture of Three Men Thursday. Federal prohibition agents J. W. Ledbetter of Fayetteville, and Floyd Ellis of Harrison, and Harley Gover, deputy sheriff of Washington county, confiscated and destroyed a 100-gallon copper still in operation, forty-five hundred gallons of mash and forty gallons of whiskey, and arrested three men in a raid last Thursday, one and one half miles west of War Eagle Mills, about 20 miles east of Rogers, in Benton county.

This moonshine still is said to have been the largest ever found in northwest Arkansas. The operators of the still were busily engaged in the work of running off the liquor when surprised by the officers, and peaceably submitted to arrest air though, each was armed with a revolver. The officers destroyed the still and find mash containers with axes and hatchets, and took the three men to Fayetteville. It is said that timber cut from near the still had been used to supply'the necessary heat to run the still, and, to judge from the amount of timber that had been cut, the still had been in operation for some time. The men arrested, Van Means, Claude Means, and Norman Foust, were given a preliminary hearing be- AND BENTON COUNTY GAZETTE Gentry, Benton County, Arkansas, Thursday, February 13,1930 fore G.

The Gentry Longhorn basketball aggregation, by their snappy play and expert passing and floor-work, proved one of the foremost teams at the Interstate Basketball Tournament held in Anderson last week, and were defeated only by one of those freakish plays that often happen just as it seems that victory is perched on a team's shoulders. The local team administered a defeat to the fast Winslow aggregation, and then were forced to acknowledge defeat the small margin of two points at the hands of the Pittsburg Teachers team of Kansas, making a total of 27 points against that team, while the tournament champions, the Simians, of Weir, were only able to tchalk up 17 points against the same team, and the Simoan team is composed of all-professional players, some of national repute.

The Longhorns should represent our hustling little town in the Joplin Four- State Tournament this week, but it will be necessary to raise a fund to bear the expenses of the team on the trip. Our citizens should see to it that this fund is raised and the team sent to this Gentry's Only tournament, which "has always proved an interesting event In the sport annals of this section of Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas and North- Weekly Farm Letter 6-; o- By EARL PAGE Commissioner of Agriculture For -the first time in years. We have had this winter weather most favorable for farming the following season. We first had some heavy snow-falls of four, six, eight, ten and twelve inches in depth, depending upon the section of the state. Then we had more snows.

They all help the farmer. Snow contains and deposits in the soil a good deal of nitrogen. This helps the crops the following season. In addition we have had heavy rain-falls, and a number of them. Rain-water brings down some nitrogen, too.

Then we had some hard freezes. At one time the temperature was below zero practically all over the state. Extreme cold weather freezes the ground. The soil is loosened to the full depth of the freeze. When water freezes and becomes ice, it expands.

The freezing process loosens about the same as many instances better. I have been advising the farmers to break their land in the fall or early winter, to prepare better seed-bed in the spring. I am sure the majority did not do this, authough they have realized the value of it. Some farmers just naturally and put off tilings to a future day that never conies.

That was nice. It is said "the Lord helps those who help themselves," but in this instance He extended the favor even to those who did not seem to be trying to help themselves in the matter of fall plow 7 ing. Now the ground Is soft and full of water, and In the spring will be loose and retain moisture much better, so there is not the likelihood of drouth that otherwise might effect the crops. Irj addition to these benefits, the freezing weather has had considerable effect on insect life. The boll weevils and other crop pests have been greatly reduced in numbers, and this will be of help In fanning successfully.

Let us all be truly thankful. If all signs do not fail this it one year the farmers would better look well to producing all the feed they need. Keep all of the breeding stock and increase the livestock supply, as a matter of precaution. 'Livestock requires feed, but walk around on four legs of their own and require less actual work In raising than field should, have plenty of pastures if" the farmer can provide, them, but if hot' they will utilize outside range. outside range is not so good, but it will do as a substitute when a farmer is too poor to a pasture.

Kudzu makes a "good pasture on much of the up-land country. Carpet grass, Dallis grass, and lespedeza, all make good pastures. Bermuda makes a. good pasture grass, but it is not so tenacious in its growing habits that it requires a good deal of industry and close application in cultivating it out of succeeding crops to overcome it and get it permanently out of the way.

Kudza and lespedeza are legumes and good for the soil. They build it up. The former is grown extensively on the poorer land? of Geogia, Florida and other southeastern states. It is a rank-growing vine, that must be set out from roots. The runners extend fifteen to twenty feeit in all directions, and the leaves and tender vines make good pasturage and hay Cattle and other stock are very found of it.

Lespedeza is one of the clovers that will grow without liming the soil. It does not grow rank, and for this reason many do not regard it as a good hay crop. It is, however, as it grows very thick, and will make from one to three tons per acre, depending on the land and season. It matures and is ready for cutting in September. If planted on thin land, there should be an application of 300 pounds of super- phosphate or 600 pounds of ground phosphate rock per acre.

This will make it grow. Lespedeza may be plant-, ed.with oats in February or March, of you may sow it on fall oats, If there, are any left'after the freezes. After the oat crop is cut the. lespedeza will grpw and'mature, and make good paslure or hay. Let me urge the farmers to gel to growing some kind of crops that will feed live stock and build up the soil at the same time.

We must get to this and keep up the fertility of the soil if we are going to continue to make a living on the farm. Commercial fertilizer is a fine thing for farming, but those who depend on it entirely can not hope to remain in the daes known as good farmers. They may be good crop raisers, but not good farmers. Good farmers keep their farms up to standard in production and do not let them run down. The of Mr.
