GETTING IN THE GAME
American Beet Sugar Company's
Center Farm Becomes Model
Dairy Farm

If anyone doubts how rapidly this
valley is becoming a dairy center he
should take a visit to the Center
Farm of the American Beet Sugar
Co. about eight miles east Of Lamar
and have his eyes opened. The COM
pany made some purchases last July
of dairy cows and have been milking
forty cows The officers after careful
tests in which the last item OF ex-
pense was considered found that it
was the best paying piece of property
the company had and have decided to
double the capacity Of the stables
which have just been completed and
begin the milking of one hundred hol-
stems as soon as they can get things
ready. They now have a large force
of men at work enlarging their build
ings and sheds.
Everything at the farm is in model
condition. and the superintendent, G.
L. Penley, and assistants are very
up-to-date arrangements for handling
everything connected with the indus
try. The large stable already COM
pleted will accommodate fifty cows
at one time and il is to be just doub-
led. The floors are laid in concrete
and all the latest improved equipment
for economical and convenient hand
ling of the cows and keeping every
thing fresh and clean is to be found
there. A Sharpless milking machine
is used and the power 20 run it comes
from the engine house east of the
plant where an eight-horse power en-
CINE runs the pump which raises the
water for all uses about the plant,
brushes the grain into meal and will
shortly furnish electric lights for the
entire plant.
In the stock sheds, which are con-
structed with heavy walls of straw,
making them warm at all times, will
be found Ill holsteia cows and as
many calves. They are all of high
grade and many of them from the
best registered stock and just look
like genuine blue bloods. One two
year old is giving over 50 pounds of
milk daily, and all are from the
eastern dairy centers and when they
get to milking up to their full capsc-
ity they will make a material addi-
ton to the factory receipts. Their
sheep feeding pens are also on this
farm but located about mile away
from the dairy department, and these
are also equipped in model fashion.
Ne understand the Holly Sugar
Co. is also equipping plant equally
as large as the A. b. S. Co., and will

Forget 1t

President Wilson says that hard
times is only a state Of mind and if
you just think everything is all right
it will be- You don't need mince pies
and fur coats in winter. Dried ap-
pie pies and gauze shirts are just as
good if you only think so. This prob
ably accounts for some society women
putting on sandals and string Of
beads and calling it full dress.

Latitude Don't Count

The dispatches say they are plant
ing sugar beets in northern France
lust behind the war zone. AS that sec
ton of France is about ten degrees
farther north than the Arkansas val
