$50 900 Worth Of Oats Lost to Sasi-
nav County Farmers.

One of the enterprising farmers OF
the county living short distance from
the city entered the county agricultur'
lists Office recently with whole hand
full of smutted heads of oats and asked
il there was anything he could do to
save the oats from smut. He said: IL
have gone oyer my fields carefully and
it seems to me that there must be less
of several bushels per acre from this
disease
In reply the county agriculturist said
Il am glad to say that there is an abso-
lutely satisfactory remedy for the pre-
vention of smut and it is easily applied
at cost of not to exceed two cents per
acre for formaldehyde, and a few
minutes time. By this means any
farmer can insure his oats against
smut" There are probably some who
have never heard of this simple remedy;
some who have no faith in it; some who
just don't get time to try it and some
who don't investigate to find why their
yield is not up to the average per acre.
In speaking of the situation this year
in regard to smut, County Agent
Robinson said yesterday: 1T is safe to
say that there Is an average loss OF
three bushels per acre throughout the
county this year in fields where the
seed was not treated. think that not
to exceed one fourth of the farm rs
treat their seed oats, 30 there are APP.
proximately 10000 acres of oats in
Saginaw county sowed with untreated
seed. Thirty thousand acres with
loss conservatively estimated at three
bushels per acre means 10000 bushels
of oats, valued at more than $50, 1000,
loss to the farmers this year"
When asked if the weather caused
the smut in the grain, Mr.. Robinson
replied: 1.-The weather is responsible
for the smut in oats in the same degree
that it is responsible for the corn crop.
Seed, soil, care and weather are all re-
quired to make corn crop. If you do
not plant the seed you do not get any
corn, 40 matter how favorable the
weather. If you plant no live smut
seeds or spores you will get no smut.
The formaldehyde kills the smut spores
on the oat heads"
Almost an innumerable number Of
inquiries have been received at the
office Of the farm bureau recently in
regard to the smut trouble In many
cases Mr.. Robinsons advice has been
for them to visit the farms of Stephen
Bow and P. J. Bannan of Rockville;
William Hackett OF Saginawtown;
Charles Gottschslk Of Buena Vista; !.

On some of these farms comparative

 Curing Rake into windrows as soon as the leaves are well wilted. The large amount of water in the stems must go out through the leaves. If they are killed or bleached by the
 sun too quickly the stems will not dry out satisfactorily. Many of the leaves will also be lost.
 It IS generally advisable to cure the hay in small shocks as this will lessen the danger from damage by rains or heavy dews. Hay that has become wet should not be moved until the top
 has become dry.
 Cowpeas do not turn water we'll so

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Encouraged by Practical Training In
 The Public Schools.

"No movement for public welfare in Arkansas is of greater significance than The Diversified Farming Cam paign," said State Superintendent Geo. B. Cook. "This movement was launched November 10, 1914, under the masterly leadership of Prof. P. G. Holden.
 During the whirlwind campaign 324 meetings were held in 49 counties |of Arkansas. Sixty-one speakers ad- dressed 130,000 farmers and 362,000 pamphlets were distributed. Nearly thirty thousand miles had been travel ed by railroads and highways on Dec ember 12, when the first phase of the campaign closed. Since that time this great educational work for better ru ral conditions and greater profits to the farmer has been carried on by a Follow Up Committed E. J. Bodman, Union Trust Co.,, Little Rock, Arkan- sas, Chairman.
 "The watch words of this campaign are We Must Feed Ourselves and Every Farm Is A Factory.
 "The State Department of Public Instruction, cooperating with Mir. Bodman's committee, has placed in the hands of every school teacher in the State copy Of the handbook. Let Arkansas Feed Herself.' This book is being used this month in the Teach ers' Institutes for the work in Agri- culture, and the teachers are urged to make its contents large part of the school work on this subject. This book is in accord with all the work of the Diversified Farming Committee. It is thoroughly practical and is aid ing materially is teaching the impor- tant lessons of self-reliance and de- velopment of existing opportunities by individual effort"

HINTS FOR THE JUNE BRIDE

 It is happy bride that comes into her hearts desire in this month of vases and would like to have some mart in helping some of the brides of this particular June now here to have just the sort of weddings that thev will take pleasure in rendering all the rest of their lives.
 wedding can be very beautiful without being the least bit elaborate ar costly, and the bride who brings with her to the altar a heart ready to be stored with the happiest mem ories is the one who is wise enough to leave off the vanitieS and elaborate preparations that tire her out and give her enegry to plans that are genuinely worth while.
 The time of day of wedding, of course, regulates in degree the style of refreshments. For morning wedd- ing at s o'clock, for instance, 1 re- member with greatest pleasure be- cause of its geniuneness and its free dom from all strains or effort after any of the difficulties of entertaing from was buffet breakfast, and con- sisted of the simplest menu imagin- able, nothing indeed but great plat ters of sandwiches, all of the very dainest and most tempting sort, served with coffee, steaming hot, fra grant and delicious. After the coffee and sanWiches were saten, the beau tiful wedding cake was cut, and the guests were given charming little souvenir boxes in which to carry slices of it home.
 If the ceremony comes a little later in the morning a more elaborate breakfast menu may be served. For first course you may have peaches or berries, or whatever fruit is in sea- son, then broiled chicken on toast, hot rolls and fresh tomatoes. Then, for an ice, ice cream may be frozen to look like waffles and served with cho- colate sauce for syrup. Or the break fast may be planned to be more like luncheon, and may be served with a salad as we'll as with dessert course.

 The coal mines of Texas were not entirely free from labor troubles in 1914, as 220 men were on strike dur ing the year with an average of 3 days each of lost time.
 Most of the Ignite produced in Texas is mined by hand, and of the bituminous coal produced nearly one half is shot off the solid. The use of mining machines has not made much progress in the State, and those that are employed are in the bitumin- ous mines. The quantity of coal shots off the solid in 1914 was 612,158 tons, or 26 per cent of the total.
 Washing plants have been installed at the mines at Eagle Pass in order to improve the quality of coal sent to market. In 1914 the quantity of coal washed was 23,6O4 tons, which yielded 9,440 tons of cleaned coal.
