SAYS UNIVERSITY
 NEEDS s500,0OO
BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS MADE NO DEFINITE RECOMMEND
 DATIONS YET.
TO MEET AGAIN DECEMBER 31
State Must Appropriate $46,5oo in Or der to Receive Similar Amount
 From the Government.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Because three mem bers of the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas were absent from the conference of the board in the office of Governor Hays, the board adjourned until December 31 without taking definite action on the appropria- tion to be asked of the 1915 Legisla- ture for the universtty's support.
 The board directed President J. C.. Futrall of the university to have print ed his report of the work of the uni versity the past year and a half, the period of his administration and also his recommendations as to the appro- priation. The printed pamphlet is to be distributed throughout the state that the people may become acquaint- ed with the needs of the university
 Exclusive of the extension work of the College of Agriculture of the uni versity and the general university ex- tension work President Futrall esti- mates that S3S5,000 will be needed for the university during the next two years. He believes that S65, 900 should be appropriated for the college and agricultural, general university exten- sion work and the Domestic Science Department.
 Of this latter sum, President Fut- rall says that S46,500 must be appro- priated if the state is to receive a sim liar sum from the government for the agricultural extension work.
 President Futralrs estimate does not include any new buildings, aI- though he feels that a new girls dor mitory and modern and adequate hall for the domestic science work are badly needed.
 We were forced to refuse 50 girl students last fall,' he said, and pre- dict that double this number must be refused next year
 The state has not given the univer- sity building in ten years. Only one building has been constructed in that time and that was Peabody Hall, erected by the Peabody Board of Edu- cation.
 Resolutions regretting the death of W. H. Askew of Magnolia, a member of the Board of Trustees, were adopted.
 Governor Hays announced the ap- pointment to the vacancy of Joe K. Mahoney of Fl Dorado, a graduate of the University of Arkansas. MT. Ma honey is deputy prosecuting attorney of his district and was elected at the last state Democratic convention as a member of the State Central Con- mittee.

TREATMENT TO AVOID SMUT
Was Needless Because Disease Is Easily Prevented.

Many oats in the state last year were severely damaged by smut. The loss due to this disease was needff Is, because it is easily prevented. Ire ing the seed with formaldehyde N fore planting is practical and efftc- tive.
 1. Mix one pound Gone pint) of for maldehyde with 40 gallons of water in a large-sized barrel
 2. Put bushel or more of oats in two-bushel bag Ca cheap gunny sack of very coarse, open materiaD.
 3. Dip bag and oats into the solu- tion and shake up and down until all oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and drain
 4. Allow the oats to remain in the bag for about two hours, or empty in heap and leave for about two hours.
 5. Spread them out to dry. When nearly dry, drying may be hastened by sprinkling them with thoroughly slaked lime
 6. Sow about ten per cent more per acre to allow for the swelling.
 2. The machinery and receptacles to be used in handling the oats after they are treated should first be thor oughly cleansed with the solution.
 8. Mix the solution just before us- 'ng. Apply the treatment just before ieeding
 For convenience a pulley may be arranged directly over the open end of the barrel and through it a rope can be used for dipping, shaking and draining the bags of oats.
 Another method sometimes used in treating seed with formaldehyde con- sists of spreading the seed out in three-inch layer on smooth clean floor sprinkling them with the solu- tion, and then, shoveling back and forth the solution. The treated seeds are then shoveled into a pile and cov- cred with sacks or canvas to keep the gas inclosed. After six or eight hours the covers are removed and the oats spread out to dry.

Don't blame the COW that kicks the man who allows her to go around with sore teats
 It Is rather hard to be asked to buy white duck trousers for milkers while selling milk at something less than four cents a quart to dealers who double their money on it.
 There is close connection between clean milk and a clean conscience.
 No man can afford to feed high quality feed to low quality COWS. but a good many dairymen keep right on doing it.
 In many a dairy farm the manure pile represents the larger half of the profits. Better take good care of the manure.
 Saving the liquid manure and using 1t as fertilizer adds to the profits, the health of the COWS and the at traetiveness of the dairy farm.
 While the dairyman must work Sun days and holidays he is certain of his money whether the wind blows high or low, whether the crops are good or bad.
 In the prevention of disease in dairy herd, too much stress cannot be put on cleanliness.
 We should place the COWS in the stable in the fall before extreme cold weather and begin feeding winter ra-

SHIPPING COTTON TO
 BELLIGERENT NATIONS
DEMAND IS GREAT, BUT MARINE INSURANCE RATES ARE AL
 MOST PROHiBITIVE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington. Cotton shipments from America to Germany and Austria are expected by government officials to total 75,000 to 15O,00O bales a month as soon as the marine insur- ance rates can be adjusted more satis- factorily to shippers.
 The committee appointed by the secretaries of state, treasury and com. merce to consider the foreign market situation issued the following state ment:
 '.It is evident from the replies from the consular service that there is a tremendous demand for cotton in Ger. many and Austria, and that prices are high, from IA to Is cents a pound The principal difficulty seems to be the high rate of marine insurance. Other wise the movement of cotton to Eu. rope would be facilitated"
 Efforts will be made as soon as Congress meets to amend and broaden the war risk bill to provide govern. ment insurance on shipments to bellig- erent countries including articles sucn as cotton, which has been declared noncontraband.

tions. It is poor economy to compel the COWS to live on half rations late in the fall and be in poor condition at the beginning of the winter.
 Keep the COW stable whitewashed and use absorbents in the gutters to keep down the foul odors and save the liquid manure
 Feed the heifers literally with bran for a few weeks before coming in. It assists developing the lives they have to support.
 Don't allow too much tomfoolery around the heifer or allow the chit- dren to tease her or teach her to kick and fight.
 Provide good large managers and feed boxes, for a COW likes to have her feed palatable as well as man. and it will save large losses.
 The first stanchions were used for punishing men, but were later used for punishing dairy COWS. Chains are more humane.
 Train the heifers so that when they come in they will have COW habits and will milk the first time without lift ing foot.
 It will be found more profitable to spend few minutes turning a sep arator crank than to lose a large per centage of the butter fat.

MAY EMBROIL SOUTH AMERICA
Governing Board of Pan American
 Union Called Into Conference.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington. - Grave controversies between nations of South America and the belligerent countries of Flu. rope led on Wednesday to the calling of conference for Tuesday of the Governing Board of the Pan-American Union.
 Before this board, which consists of the diplomatic representatives here of 20 American republics, with Secro. tary of State Bryan as chairman ex. officio, comes the suggestions which have been made by Argentine, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador for a stronger assertion of the rights ot neutrals and the exclusion of belliger- ent warships from the waters of the Americas.
 Fear is expressed by the Chilean of ficials that Germany's alleged violation of the neutrality of Chile may influ. ence the other belligerents to disre- gard the territorial jurisdiction of Chile and perhaps cause them to send their warships within the three-mile limit to stop German operations.
 The Chilean government urged that whatever steps are taken should have the earnest and united support of all the American republics.
 Although this controversy is being adjusted, the situation in Chile is con sidered grave.

RELIEF COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DRAWS A PICTURE OF MOST

GERMANY IS NOT DEPICTING
Teutons Offer Every Facility to Aid Americans in Distributing Food,
 but Disavow Obligations.

Western ewspaper Union News Sery1cr
 London.-Herbert Clark Hoover, chairman of the commission for relief in Belgium, has returned to London, after weeks trip of inspection in Belgium. He reported that the dis tribution of foodstuffs sent in care of the American commission is we'll un- der way, but the condition of the peo- pie still is desperate, and on account of the attitude of the belligerents, the Belgians still must appeal to the peo- pie of the United States for relief.
 Tt is difficult to state the position of the civil population of Belgium without appearing hysterical," said MT. Hoover q do not believe that history presents any parallel of a pop ulation of 100000 people surrounded by ring of steel and utterly unable by any conceivable effort of their own to save themselves.
 Tt is impossible for the commission to express an opinion on the rights and wrongs which have created this situation. The Germans say the peo- pie of Belgium are normally depend ent on the importation of foodstuffs for five-siXths of their subsistence; that the Germans have no objection to the Belgians or anyone else import ing foodstuffs into Belgium, that it is not the Germans who have blocked the overseas supply, and that there is no obligation upon them to feed the civil population which could, through the normal course of trade, obtain subsistence.
 'The allies contend that free port for the importation of foodstuffs into Belgium would practically amount to an entry port for food supplies for the Germans. There are 100000 people ground between two gigantic millstones"

 mules or horses. Where more than one or two head of stock are kept larger box will have to be used. But even at this, very handy and serviceable box may be made for about forty or fifty cents. A light pair of hinges and the necessary screws can be bought for ten or fifteen cents; the hasp and staples will cost another ten or fifteen cents, and the nails and a small lock will cost about fifteen cents.

Strawberry plants fail to grow more frequently from being set too deeply than from any other cause The crown should always be above the surface of the ground. A dibble is better than trowel for pn sre, When the hole Is made the l.
 roots should be placed in and the earth pressed very G ..y about them If there is danger of a dry time. water may be put in the dibble hole and allowed to soak away before the plant Is set in.

Grain for Pigs.

Where separated milk Is not avail. able for young pigs, slop made of fine middlings is the best feed for the basis of ration. Other grains may be used in limited amount to add va- riety ito the ration, and little feed ing molasses would add to it's pala- liability. Not much corn should be fed until the pigs get some age, when 1t should be supplemented with pro- tein feed, such as tankage. peas, etc. Corn silage Is not suitable pig feed.
