BUYING FOOD STUFF OUT
 OF STATE SHOULD STOP
Bank Commissioner Davis Sends Statement to All Arkansas Bankers Urging Them
 to Use Influence.

Little Rock, Oct. 7.-"The en- ormous drain of money out of the state each year to buy food and feed-stuffs should be stopp- |ed." says State Bank Commits sioner John M. Davis, in a state ment that is being sent to all
 the bankers of Arkansas. He continues: "The cotton situa- tion makes it imperative that lin 1915 we should feed ourselves and our teams.
 An acre of winter oats sown now will be ready to cut next May. Winter oats thrive in all the cotton growing districts. An acre of oats, sown with good seed will furnish the grain and hay needed for a work horse or mule on the farm for sixty days, The oats can be fed in the sheaf, say ing the expense of threshing. It takes 25 to 30 bushels of corn
 to feed a work animal 60 days. Corn is now 90 cents a bushel
 in some of the corn states and the crop is generally short throughout the United States. It will probably cost the Arkansas farmer next summer SIPS a
 bushel or more, so that each acre of oats which he raises to feed his team will save him from buying S25 to S30 worth of corn. The seed for the oats will cost about $50 an acre.
 "Will it not be better for the
 bankers and the merchants of the state to furnish the farmer this $1.5O per acre for oats this fall rather than the $25 or $50
 he will have to pay for corn if he does not SOW the oats
 Arkansas farmers use from one-half to a million dollars worth of fertilizer each year. Potash is one of the costly ma terials in the fertilizers and |every pound of potash comes from Germany. The war has closed the potash mines, and it is likely to be S10O or more per ton next spring. Dwarf Essex rape sowed in the fall on clay land is able to extract the potash from the clays. There are enor- nous quantities of potash in all clay soils but the ordinary plants cannot extract it from them. Ar kansas farmers can SOW rape within the next two or three weeks. It will grow all winter. When the land is broken in the spring, it will be plowed under. It rots very quickly and the pot ash in it is used by the regular crops. The seed will be 25 cents an acre retail.
 "This department urges every banker in the state to use his ut most influence with landowners and farmers to get each to SOW immediately enough winter oats to supply feed for his teams next summre and each to SOW at least ten acres of rape"

The Bulletins Wilmington correspon- dent writes:
 For some time now people have no- ticed and remarked upon unusual foot marks of some animal in the roadways and about the farm houses in the snow and soft mud. These footprints re- sembled dog tracks but were larger and had long, deep nail points at the end of the toes. Wolves have been suggested the winter having been so severe with deep snows that they might have been driven from their usual haunts by hunger and in fol- lowing deer brought up in unusual To- calities and remained in the vicinity of poultry houses. Friday, as Rev. E. W. Darrow was driving to Stafford Springs by the river road his horse all at once showed signs of alarm, stopping, throwing up his head and snif1ing as he does when deer for which he has a great antipathy are about Immediately there was a crashing in the brush by the roadside and two large gray wolves rushed across the road in front of the team and went bounding over the rocks and up the ledges and out of sight as if in pursuit of prey that might have been deer or foxes, either of which it is said they will outrun.

SIMPLE CARE OF CHICKS.
Economy In Raising Them.
DR. sANBoRN, Holden, Mass.

DIR SANBORN, Holden. Mass.
 There is less fuss in rearing of chicks than few years ago. A warm brooder, some fine litter. cracked grain and grit, with perhaps a mash containing ground grain and animal food, and you should raise ninety per cent. of the chicks.
 Every chick deserves to be well matched, of sturdy ancestry and prop erly reared. The eggs should be from carefully selected stock, well housed and fed, to produce chicks that stand adverse conditions. The hen or incu- bator should do it's part well, as many a slip is made between the laying of the egg and the matching of the chick
 I prefer the lamp heated brooder to either then hen or the heatless brooder, for while some hens do good breeding and in some seasons you can raise good chicks with the fireless brooder, yet for easy, successful breeding of fifty chicks my preference Is for the heated brooder.
 The chicks when dry, are taken from the hen or machine and transferred to the well warmed brooder I prefer it should be fully as warm under the hover as was the incubator, then, if too hot, the chicks can be spread out into the less warm part of the brooder floor, or if at any hour the nperature drops the chicks can retire to a warmer place under the hover.
 What To Feed Them.
 At the start the chicks get cool water to drink and only the food that is in the barn waste used to cover the brood CT floor. Really they need no food, and what they find in the waste is plenty. When 8 few days old they need light feeding of cracked wheat, good fish or beef scrap( personally I have found nothing better than a good grade of fish scrap) added at eight days of age and finely cracked, dry corn at ten to twelve days. It is important that all chick feed be sound, sweet, and clean. Avoid musty corn, scrap that is fit only for fertilizer and stale drinking water Unless there is some grit in the barn waste that is used for brooder floor it should be supplied. Chicks need a warm place to retire to when cold, an open room to get into and exercise, as wedd as 8 grass run to range over when two weeks old Close confine- ment to hot breeders tends to give leg weakness. As the chicks grow in age the heat of the brooder can be reduced 10 about so degrees. Too many chicks are matched that are doomed to die be- cause from weak stock or incubated wrongly, but the blame is usually laid on the brooder. Yearling hens make the best Of breeders, better than pull lets, and are in their prime through March and April, which is the time for matching.

ture of the soil, the formulas given be- low will meet the requirements of good sandy ioam. In purchasing fer tiliZer remember part of the nitrogen should be in the form of nitrate of soda, which becomes immediately available, and part should be in the form of organiv nitrogen, such as talk age, dried blood, or dried ground nsh, which is not immediately available, while part of the phosphoric acid should be soluble as acid phosphate and part insoluble, such as ground bone, South Carolina rock or Tenes- see rock. (These facts may be had from SaIeSmen.)
Norwich bulletin., 1914-04-02

These elements provide plant food to start crops and feed them through the season. To use this table remember commercial fertilizers are sold on 6 percentage basis thus: 4-8-10 menas 4 per cent actual nitrogen, per cent actual phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash. So from a 200 bag of potash containing 51 per cent of actual potash 51 per cent. of 200 pounds is 102. The 4-S-10 calls for 10 per cent actual potash or 10 per cent. of 102 pounds, which is 102 pounds. In feeding plants harrow into the soil part of the fer tilizer to be used and then after the plants are up spread a bit more be- tween the rows and work it in to the soil with a cultivator This is espe- cialIy true of nitrate of soda.

CONSERVATION. OF SOIL MOIST
 URE.
Preventing Drought by Cultivation.
W. H. STEVENSON.


 W. H. STEVENSON.
 From 275 to soc tons of water are re- quired to produce one ton of dry mat ter for most of our common farm crops In many portions of the United States the rainfall during the growing months is not sufficient to supply these largo amounts of water to the crops. This fact lays stress upon two things namely, the importance of large water supplies in the soil not as stagnant water, but as capillary ater, which is for the most part available for grow ing plants, and also the importance of the conservation of this soil water.
 The first step in conserving soil moisture is to have and keep the sur face of the soil in such condition that most of the rainfall will be received into it and will be carried by graVita- tlon to the lower zones, where the wa ter supply is held until later called into use. Whenever the surface of the soil is baked or run to gether and inn pervious it is practically certain that a large portion of every rain will not get into othe soil, but is lost because of surface drainage. An effort should be made to hold the rains of the entire year those of teh fall and winter and early spring as well as those of the growing season. In order to accom- plish this the surface of the soil must be kept loose and open so that as rap idly as rain falls it may be taken into the upper soil, from whence it can work downward to the great store house beneath
 Fall Flowing Helps.
 Fall blowing helps to put the sur face in condition to take up the rainfall. The hardened crust is bro ken and water enters freely More over, the ridges and hoIIows of the plowed surface act as basins, which hold snow and rain until they soak into the soil. Early spring blowing and disking also play an important part in putting the surface soil in con- dltion to retain and take in a maxi mum amount of water
 The second step in soil moisture con serVat1on is to save the water which has entered the soil. This can best be done by cultivation. The reason is this-water is carried from the lower zones of the soil by capillarity. 1t rises in the soil from soil particle to soil particle, and finally 1t reaches the sur face of the soil and is lost by evapora- tiOn unless the upward movement is by some agency. Now, cuIti- VatiOn creates this agency-namely, a soil mulch. The principle of moisture conservation by mulches is well estab- ished. There is no practical method for saving soil moisture except by the use of the mulch.

SEEDS IN APRIL.
Plant Only Real Live Ones and Keep
 Them Growing.

Good seeds to grow should be pure or Tree rom other kinds of seeds be true to name and possess the greatest pos Slbie longevity. Testing seeds is in it. self Interesting. but few have the time TOT It, and therefore we should use care in buying only from the reliable seed houses. Corn, however, should be test ed in order to avoid loss from low vii tallty and thus having to replant. Test ing seeds is a simple matter, and many Use the pastab0ard filters out of eggs crates to do it, these being filled with damp sand, then kernel of corn is placed in each and covered with sand, afterWard being Watered thoroughly with lukwarm water; a piece of damp cotton cloth in then laid over the tester about five days. If the seed is good about S5 per cent. should germinate.
 Sowing the Seeds.
 The two requisites for the germina- ton of seeds are a cOngenial tempera- ture and a continuous supply Of mois- ture. The gardener has little to say about temperature, but the moisture question can be controlled by the use of the roller or the feet, providing one does not use d seed drill having a small roller attached. Peter Tender son in his book. Gardening For Profit deFotes a whole chapter to the use of the feet in planting. For example plant two rows of radishes where the soil is dry and press down firmly with the feet over one row, smoothing the other row with a rake, and note the difference. The radishes have been tramped down are able to get mois-
 ture by capillary attraction. wn1ie the others suffer for want of it.
 in sowing seeds that start slowly, as parsnips, celery, etc, it is well to SOW with them a few strong. quick germf- hating seeds to break the crust and mark the rows so that cultivation may begin early. Frequently a crop of rod ishes may be grown this} way before the main crop takes up the land The following vegetables may be planted as soon as the soil is fit to work
 Asparagus, one ounce for 50 feet; broad besns, one quart for 100 feet; beets, one aunce for 50 feet: Brussels sprouts, one ounce; for 2.00O plants carrots, one ounce to 100 feet; celery one ounce for 1000 plants Swiss chard, one ounce for 50 feet: lettuce, one ounce for 100 feet; onions, one ounce for 100 feet; sets, one quart for 50 feet! parsley, one ounce for 15O feet; parsnips, one ounce for 200 feet: peas one quart for 100 feet; potatoes, one peck for 100 hills.
 Many of our vegetable seeds do well when transplanted, and these may be started in boxes in the house under glass or in a nursery row.
