HOW TO BOOST ARKANSAS

Every housewife, when making pur- chases, should always ask for "Arkan- sas Products.
 Serve dinner in your home at least one month using only products grown in Arkansas.
 Get behind the Let Arkansas Feed Herself" movement.
 Local merchants should patronize home farmers by buying home grown products in preference to those ship- ped in from the outside. Patronize home people and they will patronize you.
 Encourage diversified farming and livestock growing in Arkansas.
 Every boy and girl in your county should own a pig. calf or some chickens.
 Bankers should loan money on farms to do livestock farming.
 Have the schools in your county take up the study of Arkansas products.
 When buying anything. call fol "Arkansas Products" and if your mer chant hasn't them he will be com polled to get them.

method you can hold hog cholera in check. especially if sanitary precau- tions are taken.
 The double method consists of using serum and a small quantity Of hog cholera virus (bIood taken from hog about to die from cholera.) The dou- ble method usually produces immunity against cholera for life.
 In using the double treatment con- caution should be used. \ veterinarian should be summoned as there is danger of producing hog chol- era if the doses are not properly given. If cases are brought to the at tention of the state veterinarian im- mediate aid will be given.

first week in March in northern Ar kansas
 The seed bed should be thoroughly broken and firmly settled. The use Of the disk harrow and sec ton harrow before seeding leaves the seed bed in ideal condition. Seeding With a drill instead Of of various experiment stations gives an increased yield ranging from two to four bushels.
 Tests carried for five years at the Arkansas Experiment Station, in- dieate that seeding spring oats at the rate of two and one-half to three bushels to the acre gives best and most economical retarns. More seed is required for seeding broadcast than With a drill, and no less thar three bushels should be sown in this way.
 Spring varieties adapted to the state are characterized by earliness in ma- turity Northern varieties as a rule are later maturing, rust badly. produce considerable straw, and do not fill out well. Results of variety test at the Arkansas station have shown that Burt oats lead in yield among spring varieties This oat is of light dun color and has a slender bearded grain. The Red Rust Proof variety with its various strains-Appler and Texas Red-also give satisfactory results. Early yellow oats-Kherson and Six ty Day-do fairly well in north Ar kansas.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE CROP.

J. w. Topley of Tyler and J. w. Roundtree of Heber Springs. last year demonstrated that Dwarf Essex Rape is one of the best grazing crops for hogs in Arkansas, and that it is relished by the hog more than most any other forage crop and required very little grain for the hogs where this rape is grown.
 We can raise hogs cheaper here than the Northern farmer can feed through the winter said Dr. F. F Par sons, special agent for the Farmers Cooperative. Demonstration Work Tt Cleburne county. to c. w. Watson, state agent.

A HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN
Timely Suggestions For Planning
 Your Spring Vegetable Garden.

A farmer who intends to plant a vegetable garden this year should plan his garden during the idle days of winter A piece of ground rectangular in shape and containing from one. fourth to one-half acre is sufficient for the largest family.
 Plants that are to occupy the same ground for several years should be placed to one side of the garden so that they can receive the attention necessary and not interfere with other short season crops. The grape, rasp. berry, blackberry, gooseberry, straw. berry, currant, asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish are of this type, and can be planted at this time of year
 If early crops of eggplant. pepper be started in hot bed about the first of February, then by the time it would be safe to SOW the seed in the open ground We can have plants large enough to set out.
 Plants like cabbage. caulidower and Brussels sprouts also are often started in this way. By successive plantings We can have an abundant supply Of any vegetable from early summer till frost The farmer should remember that rotation in a garden Is as i'm portant as 1t is in the regular farming because of insects and fungous dis. eases.

Erect one of the cross fences be- tween the oats and rape. Open the fence into the oats on the side leading to water and begin pasturing now or as soon as the pigs begin to graze if the oats have been soWn early. if not you will have to wait until 1t does grow If the above plat lies by the side of Bermuda pasture, seeded to bur clover, it will be wonderful help By April 15 the rape will be ready Erect the other cross fence between the rape and sorghum and open the rape up for pasturing. Move up the cross fences as they are needed for the maturing crops and close up the openings to the plats already pastured.
 The oats and rape ground should be powed about May 10 to Is and plant ed to corn and peas. The sorghum plat can be planted to soy beans about June 30 This will give late feeding for finishing up the hogs on corn. The pea plat can be planted in late crop of sweet potatoes. The first peanut plat should be seeded about September 10 to rape. uc SOy DtdH anu last peasut plat should be seeded about September 15 and October 1 to oats.
 All of the above crops, except the oats, should be planted in rows and well cultivated. Those farmers who do not desire to incur the expense and labor of fencing involved in the above system may be able to carry out the crop succession idea by judicious placing of the plats at different places about their premises.
 It is also advised that no one should take any chances With regard to hog cholera He should get in touch with | his county demonstration agent the 1 State College of Agriculture, any one of the District Agricultural Schools, or the State Office of Farm Demonstra- tion Work, and have his hogs vacct- hated and get further advice or infor- nation if he wishes it. Pasture alone Is unprofitable. Write any one of the above named agencies for feeding bull. A<.ins.

S3,Ooo,OoO INSECT TOLL.

Reliable data shows that more than S3,000,000 is the annual loss to field crops in Arkansas by insects and dis. eases which can be largely controlled by crop rotation. These troubles gain a foothod very slowly. Each year the crop remnants of the year before car ry over some of the insects and dis eases that formerly infested the grow ing crop, and as consequence each year sees a little larger supply of dis ease on hand than was noticeable the year before. These troubles can be avoided by planting a different crop on the soil for two years. Tn this way insects and diseases can be eliminated. New insects that appear can be exterminated in the same way

TREATING OATS FOR SMUT
Mixture of FormaIdehyde and Water a
 Practical and Effective Method.

Seed oats this spring must be treated for smut Nearly all spring oats last year smutted badly and all seed now available are probably badly infested. Treat the seed with formal dehyde and avoid loss from smut.
 1. Mix one pound (one pint of for maldehyde with forty gallons of water in a large size barrel.
 9 Put a bushel or more of oats IT. a two bushel bag Ia 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 ane drain.
 1. Allow the oats to remain in the bag for about two hours. or empty ID a heap and leave for about two hours.
 D. Spread them out to dry. When nearly dry. drying may be hastened by sprinkling them with thoroughly air slaked lime.
 6. Sow about ten per cent more per acre to allow for the swelling.
 '. The machinery and receptaclec to be used in handling the oats after they are treated should first be thor oughlv cleaned with the solution
 Note. Mix the solution just before using. Apply the treatment just be- fore seeding.
 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 a three-inch layer on a smooth, clean floor, sprinkling them with the solu tion. and then shoveling back and forth to insure contact of all seed with the solution. The treated seed are then shoveled into a pile and GOV cred with sacks or canvass to keeT the gas enclosed. After six or eight hours the covers are removed anf the oats spread out to dry.

CONCRETE DIPPING VATS
The Most Practical Method For Tick
 Eradication.

The most practical method for tick eradication in Arkansas is the use of the concrete dipping vat and the sys- tematic dipping of cattle Immediate. ly after county is placed In the tick eradication district, from 25 to 40 dipping vats are built in various sec tions of the county. The vats are To- cated so that cattle will not have to be driven more than three miles to be dipped.
 Cattle are allowed free range and are not quarantined in pastures but every three weeks during the summer season they are dipped at designated vat. Where the majority of people want to eradicate the tick it only takes about two years to clean a coun- ty, however, it can be done quicker. The only reason for taking two years Is that with some cattle owners m. different or hostile, cattle are often hard to find on the range
 The system of constructing dipping vats and the systematic dipping of cattle has passed beyond the expert. mental stage. In Arkansas the sys- tematic dipping of cattle was first tried by the writer in Newton county. The cattle were allowed the freq range and were dipped every three weeks. In the fall they were permit td to move in the tick-free area by inspection, and the following year the county was placed to the north of the quarantine line.

The Farmer Must Bear the Loss or Receive the Profits-Spring Oats Is An Emergency Crop.

In choosing crops to replace cotton It Is important that Arkansas farmers first select those crops which will aid in supplying grain and forage for home consumption. Where no winter oats have been sown spring oats should by all means be given a place.
 To make the greatest success with spring oats the seed should be sown as early in the spring as possible. This will vary from the first part Of February in southern Arkansas to the

Cut off the small intestine where it enters the large one and then cut off the large ene just beyond the opening and split the blind pouch open. Wash the lntes. tine by dipping in water. On the in side are ulcers with a dirty. yellow ish hue. These ulcers range from the size of the rubber on a lead pencil to the size Of nickel and are raised above the lining membrane Of the in= testine.
 These ulcers are not always found in acute cases. Lung lesions are of ten found and resemble pneumonia symptoms. portions of the lung becom. ing solid like the liver (normal lungs are spongy).

 Successful hog growing requires systematic care and feeding, and it Is not such big job if it is undertaken In an intelligent way. The following plan will give each farmer meat for 1915: If each one has five or six pigs, all well and good. If not, secure a good SOW, bred so that she will farrow some time not later than March Give her some kind of decent shelter and at tention. This will save feed and in. sure stronger, healthier pigs
 It Is to be hoped that a large per cent of our farmers needed the advice to SOW oats, rye or wheat last fall Those who did this now have, except In localities where it has been so ex= tremely dry. a liberal amount of green pasture for the pigs or SOW Those Who have not soWn should do so as quickly as the season will permit In order that pigs now on hand or those farrowed early in 1915 may be matured into fine, fat animals.
 Select piece of land 10 rods wide and g rods long so that access to wa. ter may be had along one entire side. Fence 1t off from the rest of .he field. If the land is not fertile manure it if manure is not at hand, haul leaves and blow them under and use some com mercial fertilizer Two strings Of cross fence. each ten rods long. will be needed Break the land we'll, pre. pare a good seed bed and then SOW as indicated below:

CATTLE TICK MUST GO.
Demand For Meat Growino.

One hundr ed million people of the United States are demanding more beef, more steaks and roasts; mind you, more meat; not more ticks. If you are raising ticks you will be dis appointed to find that there is no mar ket for them: you cannot sell them anywhere. If you insist on raising ticks keep them home and suffer the disgrace they will heap upon you.

After the trees are pruned, be sure to gather up all the branches and twigs and take them away. They should be burned at once. Do not, un- der any circumstances, leave them in the orchard. They are another means of harboring disease and in. sects to prey upon your trees at your expense.

Dual Purpose Cow Needed.

In case the farmer has no milk mar ket handy, he should then raise cattle which will produce fair quantity of milk and butter, and at the same time produce good beef These require. ments are met more fully by the beef and butter strain of Shorthorns than by any other breed of cattle. The Hereford, sometimes called the white face, and the Scotch Shorthorn are purely beef animals, but they are not nearly so profitable for the farmer as the beet and butter strain of Short horns. The COWS of this breed will weigh from l 200 to 600 pounds each at maturity. and make from s to II pounds of butter per week. The par eel post makes it possible for every farmer in the state to send his butter to some central market, and fresh dairy butter will sell the year round at from p to 40 cents per pound. This means that each COW will produce from $3 % to $5.00 worth of butter per week. The small farmer who Is only able to keep three or four COWS will thus be enabled from his butter to buy his family supplies. clothing and purchase school books for the children, and the calf when grown will bring just as much as one of the calves from the purely beef strain and will be clear profit, owing to the fact that the COW has paid her way the year round. In case of purely beef cattle the far mer has to feed the COW one year Tn order to get the calf and then has to feed the calf the next two years, and all he gets for this three years of feed is the sale of the calf

A light surface dressing of eight to ten loads of manure per acre will in- crease the yield of grain next year if applied properly.
The Springdale news., 1915-01-08
By H. F. Auten, Chairman Profitable Farming Campaign, Little Rock, Ar. kansas.

The first question asked by the far. mer is what kind of cattle shall I raise. The answer is prompt. Raise the kind that will produce the most money in the shortest time, and this is the question that must be answered by the experience of successful stock farmers. If you reside at or near a market where milk can be readily sold, then you should use only dairy cows, such as the Holstein. Guernsey or Jer- sey, and these COWS in dairy districts are popular in the order just named. Any COW which does not produce four to five thousand quarts Of milk per year should be sold to the butcher. Milk will sell wholesale at to cents per quart and will retail at 10 cents Der quart
