Pocahontas, Oct. 25.-George
Lusk, a farmer living a few
miles south of Pocahontas prov
ed himself a hero in time of need
while coming to town Wednes-
day morning.
Just as Mr.. Lusk and family
reached the southside of Poca-
'hontas on their way to town, a
residence had caught on fire and
had begun to burn with consid-
cradle Roadway. Mr.. Lusk gave
an alarm when he reached a po-
sition where the house faced op-
posite the street, but no one
seemed to be at home, the doors
being shut. He made a run for
the house, and just before reach
ing the burning home he heard
cries of children on the inside.
He had to break open doors to
get in, and there he found a
small baby crawling on the floor,
with fire falling on it and a
small boy sitting on a bed in the
adjoining room. The mother
had left the children and locked
the doors while she had gone on
a short call to a neighbours. In
some way the house caught fire,
supposedly from the kitchen
stove. Five minutes later and
the baby and boy would have
burned with the house.

If tried out sufficiently it will

Remember this fact, that your

supplied. If you know a better
way, try it. If not, try this plan.

IMPROVE SOIL
INCREASE PRODUCTION
Suggestion of State Land Com
missioner AS To Addition
OF Organic Matter to Soil

soil IS a matter of prime impor-
lance to the farmers in Arkan-
sas. Except for the bottom
country and low lands, the great
er part Of the soils of Arkansas
are deficient in organic matter.
/ Organic matter may be had by
adding humus, in blowing under
pea vines and stubble, corn
stalks, weeds, grass, etc. The
corn stalks do not add much val
ue but some, and they should
never be cut and burned. The
best way to add organic matter
is by raising and pasturing
stock. Stable manure isthe best
of all, but COW manure, hog and
sheep manure are also good.
There is such an abundance of
what is known as range" or
wild untitled land, that few far
mers care to use a part of their
farms for pasture for stock, pre-
ferring to use the land for grow
ing crops. Due to this fact few
of our farmers realize the value
of COW or hog manure dropped
during the year. A writer of re-
cognized authority says that the
average mich COW will drop
twenty tons of manure a year.
How many of our farmers know
this? How many ever figured
on this from an economic stand
point in their farm operations?
How many realize how much
they have been standing in their
own light by not giving pasture
room to the humble mich COW.
Most of them have overlooked
the fact that the COW is a minia-
ture fertilizer factory for the
farm, and that all the farmer
has to do is to capitalize the
plant and the industry runs it.
self, for the COW on the pasture
will gather the elements of ma
ture through the process of
grazing for a period of eight
months in the year, and return
them to the soil in the form of
organic matter, and even do the
spreading, without mans aid.
On the other hand, how many
of our farmers have ever figured
the manure from the hogs drop
pings as of any value at all? Yet
pound for pound the droppings
from the hog are more valuable
as organic matter on most of our
soils than those of the cow. The
hog is good pasture animal.
He likes the pasture, land if given
a good pasture will thrive on it
and pay his board in manure, be-
sides making meat for the family
or providing pork for the mark
ct.
Cowpeas piowed under adds or
ganic matter to the soil anc
builds up the soil surely ano
rapidly. Yet, how many OF oul
farmers can afford to sacrifice
the yielding value of their till
age soil by turning under a crol
of cowpeas? However, almos
the same end can be attained bA
growing and harvesting the COW
peas and feeding them to tn
cattle and hogs, for they will re
.tnrn to the soil almost the full
, fertilizing value of the pea crop
F They will do even better thai
that. for they will harvest tn
