LIKES AGRICULTURAL
 WORK IN UNIVERSITY
ELMER HALTER WRITES OF COURSE HE IS TAKING AT
 FAYETTEVILLE.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: 1 feel that it is my duty to let the Faulkner county people know how it is up here, what the agricultural col lege is doing for the farmer and what the short course students are getting.
 Fayetteville is small city built on seven hills, the site of the University of Arkansas. It has a population of over 6,00O. Fayetteville has got Con- way beat one way, that it, is has fine brick postoffice in the middle of the square. But Conway has Fayette- vile beat for beauty, also for public schools, Baptist church and will have finer depot and Methodist church when completed Conway also has better daily paper-the Log Cabin Democrat.
 The University of Arkansas was founded before Faulkner county was formed. The main buildings of the e'iAAf aIS uPoii IdlSS, SuioOCIl hill, from which one can see almost every building in the city.
 The college consists of nine class buildings, heating plant, three dor mitories, an eating hall, hospital, besides barns, seed houses and apple houses.
 It is shame that every farmer does not realize what the agricultural college is doing for them. They are learning and letting them know, free of charge, how to prevent and get rid of diseases, fight and exterminate crop and animal pests, what is the best va riety of a crop to plant, how and when to fertilize, how to cultivate and how to feed or market their crops so as to get the most out of it; also how to store and take care of their crop, especially their next years seed.
 There are only eight short course boys, two from Faulkner county. We are getting a priceless course, taking in all kinds of farming, fruit growing and stock raising.
 We are taught what soil is, how it was made, how to fertilize, cultivate and take care of it. How to select our seed, to dry and store it, to feed our crop to the best advantage, to select good stock, to keep them in good con- dition, to tell their disease and how to cure them. We are also taught how to build modern and sanitary houses, barns, etc.
 In conclusion, must say that there ought to be more Faulkner county boys here, as we need it. Now there will be a one-week course for men and boys, beginning December 29 and end ing January A. It will take up all lines of farming, fruit growing and stock raising. I hope that there will be several Faulkner county farmers up here and get and see what there is to it. If any are interested in the one week course. write to Prof. N. R. Wheelock, Extension Building, U. of A.. Fayetteville, Ark.
 Wishing all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 ELMER HALTER.

ORLEANS COUNTY MONITOR. WEDNESDAY MAY H. 1913
A Cheap Fertilizer for Oats

Farmers having a light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are fair loan,
but which have been exhausted by
long-continued cropping without
much fertilizer, will find it still pos
sible to raise fair crops by the us
of Fertilizing Salt. This kind of
fertilizer appears to give especially
good results on Oats. It not only
makes the straw sitter, consequent
ly making the crop less liable to
lodge and rust, but also keeps the
ground moist and so insures bet
ter catch when grass seed is sown
with the Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertile
ing purposes is sold by c. S. PAGE,
Hyde Park, VT. 1t is more valu.
able than most cheap salts, as it
contains more or less refuse matter
which comes from the hides on
which it has been used. The price
is only $500 per ton, f. o. b. Hyde
Park, and the freights are moderate
especially on IS ton carloads. This
price is SOC less than last year anc
is likely to be only temporary. Or
ders therefore should be placed as
early as possible. Prompt ship
ment can be made and full particu
lars will be given on request.

Tent Caterpillar Warning.

1.-The unusual abundance of tent
caterpillars this year makes it nee
essary to call the attention of the
general public to this destructive pest,
it's Importance; and ways and means
of control. Since the caterpillars
were quite abundant last year the egg
clusters were found in considerable
numbers this winter and spring and
now with the Matching of the eggs
caterpillars are with US in destructive
numbers. At this season of the year
the tents may be seen in the crotches
of the trees OR the crotches of the
branches, which are nearly filled with
the young caterpillars which have just
Matched out. 1t is the caterpillar stage
just now appearing which is so de-
structive and which demands Immediate
attention. The nests which are now
abundant may be gathered from the
trees by the use of a pole tipped with a
cloth so as to wipe the nest away. The
use of kerosene or gasolene torch is
not to be recommended because of
probable injury to the trees and the
danger of starting fires. A dip of
kerosene applied by means of a cloth
has been found by some to be salts
factory means of getting rid of the
nests.
The caterpillars are somewhat held
in check by birds and by predacious
insects. although the latter are not
abundant enough to be of any great
value. 1t therefore becomes clear
that it is the duty of every Individual
property owner who has plants which
are infested or subject to infestatior
to use prompt measures for the control
of this pest.

TERMS
ORLEANS COUNTY AGRICULTURE

The position Orleans county occupies
agrculturally in Vermont as compared
with the other counties is shown in the
1910 government statistics just pub
lished. Orleans county has forged it's
way toward the front in the past few
years until it easily occupies the second
place in the state, Franklin county
alone still leading and that by small
margin. The average person in Yer.
mont would pick Addison, Caledonia
or perhaps Rutland as standing after
Franklin county in agricultural inter-
ests but the two central northern
counties lead all the rest of the state
in agricultural Importance and the
Monitor ventures the statement that
Orleans county will in another decade
become the largest dairy county in
the state and doubts if any section Of
Vermont has more fertile valleys,
better and larger barns and brighter
future.
Franklin county reports 33, 257 cows
while Orleans comes second with &c.
287, but when it comes to milk produc-
ton Orleans county falls behind
Franklin only GIL, 812 gallons, the total
production of each being Franklin,
1925, 881 and Orleans, 1865, 812 gal
Ions, while the next county reports less
than eleven million gallons. In butter
production Orleans makes more than
lrIio No a 70
2,800,626 pounds per year. Caledonia
comes next with l, 1926. ATS pounds. The
apparent inconsistency here comes
from the fact that Orleans county sells
comparatively little milk to be shipped
to the cities, while most other counties
sell in large quantities.
The total amount realized from the
sale of dairy products in Orleans coun-
ahead of us in this respect but the
next county is $40, 900 behind Orleans.
The amount received per cow is more
in Orleans county than in any of the so.
income per cow here is S45. 40; in
Franklin $42. 03; in Addison, S37. "a.
In some of the smaller counties the
income per cow is larger
The census gives US 1,040, 500 sugar
trees IN Orleans county and here we
lead the state. Franklin is next with
S18,2O9 AS a county we probably
lead the world in the production of
maple sugar. making more than two
million pounds in the average year.
In the hay and forage crops Franklin
alone leads Orleans county and that by
a very little.
In fact in almost any line to which
we turn Orleans county is we'll up to
the front and is easily the second agri-
cultural county in the state. Let us
work together for better COWS and
better crops and push Orleans county
to the top.

The government agricultural Stats
tics of 1910 for Vermont show that the
number of sheep kept in Vermont has
decreased over so per cent in the past
ten years. And largely on account of
the miserable cur dog which is so de-
structive to sheep. Ex-Gov. Mead's
dog law mighthave been a good thing
for Vermont. But of course the priv
lege of keeping goodfor-nothing dogs
must be allowed.

The practically sweeping out of exist
ence of the little village of South AL
bany by fire last week is a warning to
all small villages without fire protec-
ton. Probably dozen other villages
in this county are without fire protec-
ton and the South Albany experience
may visit any such village at any time.
The matter is serious one and de-
mands attention. Don't wait until too
late.
