FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
 QUARANTINES DO NOT IN
 TERFERE IN POULTY MARKET

The rise in price of poultry of all kinds which is reported to have taken place in various States can not, in the opinion of experts in the Depart ment of Agriculture, be in any way at tributed to the outbreak of the foot |and-mouth disease. This disease does not affect poultry at all and the Fed eral quarantines of various States IA in all-now lay no embargo upon shipments of poultry.
 It is true that when a case of foot |and-mouth disease is found upon a farm that farm is absolutely quaran- tined by the State or local authorities. No produce of any sort can leave it, the owner is not even permitted to drive his horses on the public highway and in some cases his children are not allowed to go to school until the exposed stock have been done away with and the entire premises thor oughly disinfected. Since the disease moreover, is readily communicated from farm to farm by cats, dogs, poui- try, and human beings, the local au- thorities exercise their own discretion in determining what restrictions should be placed upon shipments of produce from the area in the imme
 diate vicinity of the infected farm. These areas are so limited in extent however, that the amount of poultry that may thus be prevented from reaching the market is an inappre- ciable percentage of the total supply.
 Poultry from the unaffected areas in

II M Cottrel, Agricultural Com

It will be profitable on,v where the crops grown are adapt e1 to the skill of the cotton grower. Tho crons must be staple ones that o.n he marketed easily. Perishable erons will usually bring losses.
 aThe first impulse in every cotton growing district when it begins to consider diversity of crops is to grow garden truck, melons and potatoes. nON'T Most cotton growers will lose their seasons work if they attempt to orow perishable crops. They do not know the requirements of the differ ont markets. They do not know how to grow these crops to secure a uni form product.

GOVERNOR HAYS WILL NOT
 ISSUE PROCLAMATION
Starving Belgians Should Not be Rec Ognized. any More than Any Other Nation Engaged in Flu
 rOpean War Says Gov.

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-No proclama- tion will be issued by Gov. G. w. Hays asking the citizens of Arkansas to aid the starving Belgians. Gov Hays is not against individuals doing all they desire in this direction, but he does not think that the State of Arkansas should recognize any coun- try which is now engaged in the Euro pean war, more than another.
 "President Wilson has asked the people of the United States to re- frain from expressions in which they side with any of the beligerants and if we were to raise funds and pro- visions for Belgium, ignoring the oth- CT suffering nations," states Gov. Hays i've certainly would not be maintain ing the neutrality our great Democra- tic President has asked of us. If it was to make donations for all warning nations, it might be different, but Ar kansas may have to ask for contri- buttons for herself if this diversified farming campaign is not successful. The German citizens of Little Rock raised fund and sent it to the Red Cross Society, an organization which serves all nations alike, and there was no strings tied to the local German contribution, so the wounded of the Allies may be treated with it instead of relatives of the subscribers. An action such as that might be sanction ed by proclamation"

LITTLE ROCK DEMOCRATIC
 CAMPAIGN VERY QUIET

Little Rock, Nov. 2S.-The Demo- cratic city campaign which is now on here is one of the quietest in the history of the city. The principal in- terest centers in the contests for May or and Police Judge. There are two candidates for each office, but there has been less campaigning and less excitement about it than has ever be- fore been known. Mayor c. E. Fay Tor, now serving his second term, is a candidate for reelection, and is oppos- ed by W. R. Duley, former mayor and city clerk. Police Judge Fred A.. lsgrig, who was originally elected to succeed w. NJ. Tweedy when the lat ter was impeached and removed, is a candidate for another term, and is op- posed by Ed. Woodruff, young man who is a native of the city, whose an- cestor, W. F.. Woodruff was the found CT of the Arkansas Gazette. There have been no public meetings, and very little printers ink used. The campaign has been conducted quietly by the candidates for both offices.

HOGS FOR COTTON IN
 STATE OF ARK ANSAS
United States Government Advises Farmers to Grow Live Stock as Money Crop. Hogs Best
 Form of Live Stock.

Form of Live Stock.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.-Four measures are being recommended by the U s. Department of Agriculture to the farmers of the South in order to remedy the conditions crated by the |collapse of the cotton market. These |are:
 1. The reduction of expenses by the production of more food for the family and more grain and forage for the live stock.
 2. The substitution of other money crops for part of the cotton acreage. 8. The raising of more live stock. 4. The addition of humus to the soil in order to make fertilizer less expensive.
 The first thing to be done, say the Government specialists, is to plant winter crops to be used partly for winter and spring grazing, partly for spring hay and grain, and partly for cover crops to be turned back into the
 soil for fertilizing purposes. These crops should include oats for grain, and oats, barley, or rye for hay, and lany one of these for winter and spring
 grazing or for humus value. AL
 though October and November are the
 best months for planting these crops in the cotton country, the time may be extended into the winter. The win ter crops should be followed by sum- mer legumes such as cowpeas, soy
 beans, etc. Fall and winter vegetab- les should be planted for home use and for the market.
 Hogs are recommended as the best form of live stock to grow. Imme-
 diate steps should be taken to increase
 the profits from hogs and hog pro-
 ducts by the planting of crops for winter and spring grazing, to be fol-
 lowed by summer and fall crops for the same purpose. Growers are also being warned to take rigid precaution against hog cholera. If strict quar-
 rantine measures are adopted and if
 animals when threatened, are inocu- lated with anti-hog-ch serum, growers should suffer little loss from this source.
 A system of diversified farms rec
 commended to Arkansas farmers is to
 divide their crops as follows; one
 third corn, one- third cotton, and one
 third oats, followed by peas on one
 half of the area and lespedeza on the other half. The reason for the lespe-
 deza is that it would be impossible to plant peas on all the oats stubble and cultivate corn and cotton at the same
 time. Even if the lespedeza does not grow large enough for hay it may be
 cut for seed. The seed value and the | fertilizer value should be worth $10 | per acre.
 In this rotation the corn should be
 shocked so that the land between the
 shocks may be plowed or disked, thus
 utilizing slack time in August or early September. When hogs are kept in considerable numbers another
 promising plan is as follows: 1. One-fourth, cotton plus win ter legume.
 2. One sixteenth, peas; one-six- teenth, soy beans to be hogged down and one-eighth, corn with peas be- tween for hogging down. 8. sixteenth, peas; one-six- teenth, soy beans for August cutting and hay; and one-eighth, corn to be cut and shocked in August. 4. One-fourth, oats followed by peas on one-half the ground and les pedeza on the other half.
