IS THERE ANY COIN
 IN HE CORN CROP?
WITH CONSERVATION OF MOIST URE, DEEP FLOWING AND CARE FLU CULTIVATION EXPERT MENTS PROVE THERE IS.

Is there any money in the corn crop: Hardly, if we take as basis the average acre yield in Arkansas oI 19 bushels. But when we take lnto consideration that individual farmers and members Of boys corn clubs are securing yields varying from GU to lou bushels to the acre, one is tempted to I believe that the trouble lies in our methods and not with the corn crop. Last season most of us suffered Iroln the drouth. Let us make certain tAls year, if possible, that this does not occur again, and that our crop is prof itable.
 Conserve Moisture.
 Moisture can never be conserved to better advantage or can cultivation De done so quickly or cheaply as before the crop is planted. Deep blowing and an occasional use of the subsolier is desirable in order to provide suit. able reservoir for absorbing the spring rains
 On the Experiment station farm It has been a custom to break the land six or seven inches deep some time Ill February. A couple of days before planting the field is run over with disc harrow tapping one-half This IS especially desirable if the soil has be- come packed. Sometimes heavy spring toothed harrow is used to smooth over the work of the disc. This brings any remaining weeds out Of the ground and exposes their roots and destroys any tender stemmed weeds that may be pushing to the surface.
 Prepare Before Planting.
 Where level planting is praticed the section harrow with teeth in a slant may be used about week or ten days later Recklessness Tn this practice, however, tends to thin out the stand. Cultivation should begin when the rows can be followed easily, and should be repeated so far as practica- ble once every ten days. Especially It is desirable to cultivate after a pack ing rain.
 As the crop develops the cultivation should gradually become more shallow plants. In a dry season a continua- tion of this practice until the crop is in the roasting ear stage gives best results.

POISON FOR THE CUT WORM
Expert Gives Formulae Found Effect
 i've in Destroying the Pest.

Cut worms are the stout-bodied. so1t brown, black or gray cater pillars which come out early in the spring and eat off the plants just at or near the surface of the ground. They will attack any kind of plants.
 Control.
 Fall breaking is of great importance, cleaning up the fence rows and Weedv fields where they are spending the winter, is another thing which ought to be looked to at this very time. These Insects are largely to be con- trolled by preventive measures. Where they come out and attack the crop in the spring of the year there can be q poison bait made according to this formulae:
 Wheat bran, 20 pounds.
 Paris green, 1 pound
 Syrup, quarts
 Orange or lemons, 3.
 Water, 3 gallons and one-half.
 MIX the Paris green and bran to- gether quite thoroughly while they are still dry, dissolve the syrup in the wa. ter. squeeze the juice of the lemons or organes in this solution, and then Chop up the rinds and pulp, and add it to the sweetened juice Now mix the poison bran and the solution to- gether and the material will be ready to use.
 This poison bait is scattered out along the fence row or the edge Of weedy field from which cut worms may be migrating, or if they are work. ing out in field it may be scattered around infested hills at the rate of about a tablespoonful to a hill.

BAD SEED OR BUGS, WHICH? ?
Combat Southern Corn Root Worm
 Which Is Prevalent in Arkansas.

Although the scotsman is blamed for every poor stand of corn and cot ton, an investigation will show inI many cases the poor stand is causedl by either wire worm or by the South ern corn root worm These insects and the cut worm are to be controlled to great extent by common sense tarm practices.
 Wire worrs are long, slender vel Jewish or brown grubs, with smooth, glossy and unusually large bodies They are the insects which bore in- to 8 kernel of corn or a cotton seed or in fact any kind of seed, usually at the time that it. is terminating. These worms are the larvae of the bettles which are variously known as Jack. snapers, click-beetles, snap-jacks or Mexican tieaS. The most important late summer or fall breaking, the earlier the better. After breaking. the land should be allowed to lay in fal- lcsJ for about month during which time it should be Elowed thoroughly
 
 Q number of times. It may be seeded in the fall wcth some cover crop. In order to lessen the damage to growing crops one should practice anything that will hasten the growth of the plants This is to get them past the stage when they are in the most dan. ger.
 Southern corn root worms or drill worms. These are slender, yellowish. white grubs about one-half an inch long, which drill into corn stalks and cause them to wilt or even die. They are the larvae or grub Of the little green cucumber beetle so common dur ing the growing season. Where theyi are numerous enough to warrant sne. cial treatment the only practicali means of controlling them is to plant the corn late. about May ,, for thei southern part of the state, May 12 fy, the central part, and May 19 for thes northwestern corner. Land should bp! well drained, well cultivated and wellk fertiliZed to avoid injury.

 FROH PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO SOILS OF ARKANSAS-HOW TO PLANT.

The peanu: grows best on well drained, loose, sandy loanI soils of medium fertility, which should be prepared thoroughly, this will make less work ill caring for the growing crop.
 When barnyard manure is used as fertilizer it should be applied to the preceding crop that the peanuts may get the resultant effect. Com ieercial fertilizer may be applied in the bed of the TOW just previous to the planting of the crop. Apply 200 to 500 pounds of commercial fertilizer containing two per cent of nitrogen, $ per cent of phosphoric acid and to , per cent of potash. The per cent of nitrogen should be increased if a previous green manure crop has sot been turned under Soils low in lime should receive an application of 800 to 500 pounds of lime to encourage proper ripening of the fruit
 Variety Types.
 There are two general variety types of peanuts; those with large pods, the Virginia Runner and the Virginia Bunch type and those with small pods, Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The Virginia type is used chiefly for roast ing purposes; the other are recom- mended for oil content and as forage. The Spanish is the commercial ya- riety for Arkansas.
 nv,lx ~c should he saved for, seed and planted in special patch. An ideal plant should produce a large number of pods well filled with seed, uniform in size, shape and color The large pod varieties of peanuts are always shelled before planting. care being used not to break the seed covering. Spanish peanuts may be planted with or with l out the pod To hasten germination. soak the pods few hours just pre- vlous to planting. Plant in rows to 212 feet apart, with the plants 6 to 12 inches apart in a row, depending upon | the variety
 Marking Off Field.
 In planting mark the field off in rows as in corn planting, and use a one-horse planter similar to the one horse cotton planter For hand plant 1 ing open up the rows with small shovel marker and drop in seed at proper distance. Cover to depth of F to inches. Begin cultivation with harrow as soon as the crop is planted. After the crop is well up, start cultivating between the rows with a small shoveled eultiyator and l keep the soil in a loose condition for pod setting. It is desirable to force loose dirt with cultiyator up to the plant, but do not co1er the vines.

THEIR DEAD LITTER FIELD
On Decisive Outcome of This SAN

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Russiaa

ing another series of battles for DOS
session of the snow-covered Carpar
THAN passes to decide whether the
Russians will commence another In
vasion of Hungary or evacuate part
Of Galicia, as they have done Buko-

The Russians have issued two off,

ing the better of the fighting. Their
right wing has crossed the mountains
and has been engaged In a battle near
Bartfeld and Svidnk, on the Hungar
rian side of the Carpathians and ON
the edge of the plains which sweep
down to Budapest.
This army, too, threatens the rear

The hardest fighting has occurred
on the Galician side of the Tukholk@
pass, where Sunday the AustroGe
mans captured the heights in the re-
gion of Koziouwka, only to be drives
back after a bayonet fight, which the
Russian report describes as being
without precedent in history"
Correspondents say this battle was
terrific. The Germans brought sp
their best reinforcements to aid the
Austrians, and themselves led the a.
tack. Backed by heavy artillery, they
assaulted the Russian position on the
Koziouwka heights, but found them
selves under an entilading fire FROM
the Russians on parallel hills ana

attacked, driving them back at the

Attack followed counter attack ua-
til the Russians had regained the oil

The fighting here seems to havs
been as desperate and sanguinary al
that before the Warsaw lines during
the last week, and so far as can be
judged by oflcial and unofficial re-
ports has been just as unsuccessful
for the Germans. The Germans now

ARGOT HAL MAY

SEVERAL WANT TO RACE GREAT
SON OF BROWN HAL AT SAN
FRANCISCO.

Allen Campbell of Cleburne Farm,
has received several very attractive
offers from some of the leading race
drivers of the country to take the pre-
mier of Cleburne Farm to San Fran
cisco this spring to race at the Pana-
ma exposition. Among those who
have written him in regard to the
matter are Edward F. Geers, Gus Ma
cey and Lon Mcdonald.
While Argot Hal is twelve years Of
age, yet last fall with but little prepa'
ration he showed more speed than
when he was trained on the Grand
Circuit. After being brought back
from Nashville, where he paced to a
mark Of 2:O4A under adverse condi.
lions, he showed Mr. Campbell a
quarter over the Cleburne track in rs
seconds, a 1:52 gait.
Whether he will be sent or not, Mr..
Campbell is at least of the opinion
that he will be worked some during
the summer in order to further re-
duce his pacing mark.

supported the measure, forced the
senate to adjourn last night after the
longest continuous session in it's his

hours and eleven minutes.
This made more uncertain than
ever the fate of the bill which the ad.

There were some, however, who still
hoped there yet might be time to dis

CALLED TO
CONFER WITH WILSON
ON SHIPPING BILL
ADMINISTRATION MEASURE MAY
BE PASSED IN HOUSE AS
AMENDMENT.
MAY COMBINE Two MEASURES
Ship Purchase Bill May Be Tackled
on Weeks Bill, Establishing Mail
Lines Between This Country and
Europe and South America.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Much
interest was aroused in congressional
circles this afternoon when it became
known that the President had sent
for Chairman L. P. Padgett, Of the
house committee on naval affairs.
The visit of the Tennessean to the
White House was Of peculiar inter.
est, following on the heels Of the ru-
NOR that the program OF the demo
Gratis now is to tack the ship pur-
chase bill on the Weeks senate bill,
establishing United States navy mail
lines between this country and the
countries of South America and Eu-
rope, and then pass the amended bill
through the house.
Congressman Padgett stated that
the President talked to him concern
ing the general legislative situation
in the house" When asked whether
or not the ship purchase bill was dis
cussed, Mr.. Padgett admitted that
its probable course in the house"
was discussed by him and the Presi-
dent. When asked whether or not
he and the President discussed the
question of putting the ship purchase
bill on as an amendment to the
Weeks bill, Chairman Padgett de-
clined to make any statement for
publication.
The Weeks bill passed the senate
on August 3, 1914, and was referred
to the house committee on naval af-
fairs on the following day. That com
mittee referred the measure to a sub
committee of which Congressman j.
F. C. Talbot is chairman, and hear
ings on the measure were begun on
August II and continued until Aug
q, The measure is still in the hands
OF the subcommittee.
The Weeks bill, to which it is pro,
posed to attach the ship purchase
bill. provides, in brief, that the Sec
rotary of the navy may be authoriz-
ed to establish one or more United
States navy mail lines, by employing
such vessels of the navy as are in his
discretion available for the purpose
of maintaining regular communica-
ton between the east and the west,
or both, coasts of the United States
and either or both coasts Of South
America and between the United
States, and the countries of Europe.
The vessels to be so employed may
carry passengers and freight also.

NEW ANTI-NARCOT|c
LAW WILL GO INTO
EFFECT ON MARCH |.
REQUIRES ALL PRESCRIPTION.
lists OF NARCOTICS TO BE
REGISTERED.
TO GATHER STATISTICS ON: use
Every Grain of Narcotics Used In the
United States Will Be Accurately
Kept Record of by Druggists-The
Fee viii Be 81 Per Annum.

On Monday, March 1, the govern
ment anti-narcotic law will go into
effect.
Under the provisions OF the bill, all
druggists, physicians, dentists, or 9th
ers who prescribe narcotics of any
kind, will be required to register with
the collector of internal revenue at
Nashville, E. B. Craig, paying 81 for
q license, which shall be good for one
year.
The purpose of the law is to get &C
curate statistics upon the amount of
narcotics which is used in this ma.
ton annually. Heretofore, there
have been only state laws upon the
subject, and no record could be kept
of intra-state business. Under the
new federal law, which is effective
within about two weeks, every grain
of narcotics, which is consumed in
this country in year, will be accu-
rately recorded. No prescription or
any other who prescribes in any
way can get narcotics from drug
gist without registration Each one
registered will have number and on
the prescription will have to be given
this number of the physician, den
fist or veterinarian.
The druggist will have to keep a
separate record of all narcotic pre-
scrptions, so that the agents Of the
federal government may see them
and gather from them the statistics
that they want.
AS the law goes into effect on
March /, which is during the fiscal
year of the government, those who
have to get certificates Of registra-
ton will get them only until July /,
the cost being "a cents. After this
date they will be registered for a
whole year.
