Commissioner Page.


of the farmers behind with their
work. At some time during the
spring we always have too much
rain, and it would serve US mighty
well if we would always keep this
in mind and prepare for it the best
we can, During the good weather
we can make note of a good many
odd jobs that we can do on rainy
days. By making a list of them we
will soon find that the rainy days
come in proftably and the time is
not lost.
During wet weather the grass and
weeds grow fast and are hard to kill.
Use the harrow cross-wise of the
rows on the corn and cotton after
the plants are up. Do not start the
harrow early in the morning, but
wait until nine or ten o'clock. The
young plants are tougher after the
sun shines on them awhile, and
will not break down so easily. Do
not plow when the ground is too
wet. 1t is time thrown away and
often does more harm than good.
Better use the hoe than plow when
the ground is wet. 1t is costlier,
but pays the best. Hoe-made corn
is high. priced corn, but it is better
than no corn at all. Plant some
COW peas, velvet beans or soy beans
this month.
If you can't plant this month,
make arrangements for next month.
Set aside the land for one or more
of these crops. Don't forget the
sorghum patch either. 1t is needed
to make molasses and also to furnish
good pasture for hogs later on,
Cow peas and sorghum together
make good hay crop. The sor-
ghum doesn't benefit the land, but
the COW peas the velvet bean and
soy bean do. The two latter add
lots of nitrogen to the soil, and that
is the costliest element required to
make rich soil. Every farm should
have a potato patch. After the
potatoes are dug do not let the land
lie idle, but plant it to another crop,
Several crops can be grown after
potatoes. If in doubt about what to
try, fall back on the old reliable COW
pea. Every farm should have either
alfalfa or clover on it, 1t is not
every farm that will grow alfalfa,
but most of them will grow some of
the clovers. Prepare some land for
clover and SOW it this fall. You
can not do better than try some
burr clover. Alsyke clover is good
for wet land, is good for pasture and
hay. Crimson clover is a soil build
er that is hard to equal and makes
a fine crop,
By all means take care Of the
calves and pigs. There are fewer
cattle in Arkansas today than for
the past twenty-five years. This is
a fact. You know what it means,
Keep the cows and heifer calves
especially. We need them for
breeding purposes. One acre OF
Arkansas land can be made to
sustain one head Of cattle, and yet
we haven't an average of one head
to every forty acres. The Lord
gave the injunction to his people to
multiply and replenish the earth"
As a Christian people we are obedi-
ent to this command, and so Arkan-
sas is a land of babies Now all we
need to make and keep this land
of milk and honey" is to supply
the A milk. Hence one of the
demands for more and better cat.

Amateur scientists are seeing
things" in regard to the weather. The
war, of course, is to blame. The regu-
lar scientists ''tut-tut" the idea that
the war has had any effect on the
weather-that being about the only
thing that has escaped so far.
Unconvinced by the regulars. the
amateurs come back with. How about
the reports from the Russian battle
field? They say that the winter there
promises to be extraordinary severe.
"Blizzards began to do business in
November. The thermometer has not
been above zero since. The snow is
deeper and the ice thicker than ever
before so early in the season. The
jarring the atmosphere gets from the
orchestra of big guns is the explana-
tion.
The explosions break the envelope
between the surface of the earth and
the stratas of intensely cold air above
the protecting envelope. So long as
the jarring continues, the thrush of icy
air will continue to make a refrigera-
tor out of the eastern theater of war"
When the big guns stop playing a
tattoo on the envelope" the amateurs
believe, normal conditions will prevail.
Not satisfied with claiming that the
war is responsible for the exceptional
ly severe winter in the war regions,
the amateurs also hold that eXplo-
sions of gunpowder were the cause OF
the rain-soaked battlefields and foods
in France and Belgium several weeks
ago.
Bureau Finds No Evidence.
The coincidence of rainfall and bat
tie have been remarked for centuries.
but the United States Weather Bureau.
after a painstaking analysis of all data
on the subject. found no evidence to
sustain the battle-rain theory.
1t has been pointed out that rain
usually falls in normal seasons every
few days. There has been rain before
battles. during battles and after bat
ties. Nothing has been discovered to
connect rain with battles.
Meteorologists say that the atmos-
pheric conditions which produce rains
depend on air eddies a Thousand miles
in diameter. The movements of these
eddies are on so vast a scale that they
