That's what we would like to know.

What are we all kicking about? Was not the country voted DRY about ten years ago! Some candidates would really mak more friends and secure more votes in an election if they would but remain a home during the campaign. Several republicans who have expressed themselves to us recently 'say they would prefer one of those old- style democratic panics to this Hoover One can learn more about what an administration is not it republican or loitering around on the corners and listening to the "governmental wizards" (who have nothing else to do) "spread" their wonderful wisdom. If this time was devoted to really constructive pursuits what a more wonderful country this would be in which to live! SPEAKS FOB BULLOCK Hon. Irving C. Neale, of Ft.

Smith, one of the leaders in the Legislature, who has served three terms in the House of Representatives, in writing to a friend recently, had this to say about "W-. J. Bullock: "I served in the last Legislature with Mr. Bullock of Benton County. Personally I considered Mr.

Bullock onen6f the strong men of the House, and am sure he was regarded by the entire membership as one of the most reliable. Benton county never had a. man who represented her interests better or more faithfully. Mr. Bullock's record ought to be sufficient to re-elect him." Judge James Campbell, of DeQueen, voluntarily wrote the following letter: "Dear Mr.

Bullock: "As chairman of the Claims Committee of the 47th General Assembly I would that it were possible to see every voter in your county and advise them of the very valuable work which you rendered the State upon this committee. In fact, I was very much impressed with your sincere efforts thruout the session, and you are certainly entitled to the thanks of your county and the entire state." Weekly Farm Letter By EARL PAGE Commissioner of Agriculture We hear very little of the depreda- lons of the boll weevil in cotton or )ther Insect pests In other crops Just now. The dry, hot weather has been discouraging to them. This is somc- to be thankful for in the midst a bad situation for the farmers. An- thing favorable to cotton growers that the drouth seems to have been general, and it is likely that there will be a reduction in the yield of cotton that will shorten the total crop more than the small reduction in acreage, and that will tend to bring the price of cotton up higher, so the farmers will after all get about ns much, if not more, for a small crop, than they would for a large one.

It was thus. Corn and hay will be a good price throughout Arkansas and most parts of the South, due to the shortage in these crops, brought about by the. dry weather conditions. There will not bo enough of the late corn and hay crop: to make up the deficiency, and NO South a good market for corn and hay in 1930. There is going to be somewhat of a problem in Arkansas about stock feed for the live stock during the coming winter.

The intelligent way to meet this problem is to sow some rape for fall pasture for the hogs, and to prepare the'ground and sow down some winter pasture and cover crops. Necessity sometiines forces us to do some of the things that good, judgment should dictate, but which we fall or neglect to do. Winter cover crops and pastures always pay, especially If we have the live stock. If we do not, that Is again our misfortune, doubtless due to failure and negligence where good Judgment and industry combined siiuuia The winter cover crop will pay for itself In the preservation of soil elements and soil conditions alone, but if we have the live stock to consume a part of the winter cover crop in pasturage we are that much better off. It is the wise fanner who looks well after his land as well as his crops.

Keep up the farmi that the farm may keep you up. An examination of the results of the operation of the law of averages owill show that those who farm intensively instead of extensively, are getting along the better. Keep up the fertility of the land as well as the premises and improvements. Some years ago a German came to country and bought forty acres of poor and some of his neighbors in sympathy with him -at his bad choice, asked him if he thought he could make a living on that poor forty acres. His reply was that he would try, and if he failed, he knew he could make a living on twenty acre's.

There is good philosophy in that answer. If he failed on forty, he would concentrate on twenty and enrich it so it would make a living for himself and iamily. In nearly all communities there can be found shining examples of thrifty farmers who give their time to intensive instead of extensive fanning. They rotate crops and build up the soil, so that fewer acres will make enough to meet their requirements. They make larger yields per acre and cultivate less ground.

They lessen the number of work stock and save on im- plements and machinery. They buy fertilizer and use it intelligently on the crops that pay best. These farmers, wherever they are foimd, by their daily life and plan of operation, speak more eloquently in behalf of better farming than volumes that. are-written on the subject, if only their neighbors would profit by their example and try to Improve on their methods. We may all learn by precept and example, but example is something we may visualize, and it is impressive and' lasting.

If you find' a good farmer in your neighborhood, either follow his- improve on his methods. If you 'can improve on his methods you will be a better farmer and a better example for your neighbors, but if you cannot make an Improvement, and you are not doing as well as the best farmer in the community, you would better follow his methods until you can improve oh them.

To thg Voters of Benton In less than two weeks the voters of this district must choose one to serve as Prosecuting 1 Attorney for the next two years, and this selection 0 should be made with the utmost care and caution.

In making a choice you should look for experience, ability, honest motive and desire in the candidate to perform his. duties well, ever keeping in mind the cost of enforcing the law at-the minimum amount of expense. Experience teaches me the cost of conducting the courts is the largest single item of county expenditure-'and that much time and large sums of money can be easily wasted and squandered by frivolous prosecution, improper investigation, faulty indictments, and improper handlingof criminal matters. An inexperienced man is bound to, and will cost you dearly, while CRIME and CRIMINALS will go UNPUNISHED. Is it not dangerous at such a time as this, when economy is the watchword in every home and with each individual, when the depressing financial conditions are bringing lawlessness and unrest, to place this most important office into inexperienced the hands of one that has never written an indictment, conducted an important criminal investigation, or tried an important criminal case? I have been in the active practice of law many every day to the practice and to the performance of my duties as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and not to any Bother business such as collecting taxes and selling insurance.

I have investigated hundreds of serious criminal cases, examined thousands of witnesses, tried and obtained convictions in hundreds pf cases. How well I have served the people, I leave for the record and for others to Bay: From the Report of the Washington County Grand Jury, October Term, 1929: "We, the Grand Jury, wish to thank the Prosecuting Attorney's office, especially Proc- tor F. Johnson, for the help and assistance rendered us in the dispatch of pur duties. His intimate knowledge of the facts and matters with which we had to deal, aided us materially with a saving to the County." Respectfully submitted, L. A.

COGER, Foreman. My distinguished opponent is the son-in- law of Honorable Joe Maples, who has held district office or ran for the same for the past 30 years. He made a good good judge. But, has not this family dined at the counter of political preferment long enough I Want To Be Your Prosecuting Attorney: Because, I have the ambition to serve you in this capacity. Because, 1 have trained, qualified and fitted myself to perform the duties of this office.

Because, 1 believe that with my experience, practice in the courts, and work with the vast amount of criminal business, can render -the people of the. district, REAL SERVICE and BETTER SERVICE, than one with no experience or limited experience. Because, It is not Democratic for one man, or one set of hold office, or one set of offices, continuously. Because, My has never been questioned. Because, I have never run for, or held office.

It's My Time Because, for 30 years Washington County has not been honored with this office. It's Washington County's Time Sincerely, PROCTOR F. JOHNSON CANDIDATE FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY HEALING SPRINGS We have had no rain as yet. If it doesn't rain soon it will be too late to help 1 The canning factory made the first run on tomatoes Monday.
