MANY DOLLARS SAVED
 BY BUYING PURE sEED
Care in Selecting Parent For fefs Crop Will Mean Better Yield at her- vest-2o Per Cent More.

sn buying seed farmers should care fully consider the following points If they expect to get the worth of their money: First, where the seed was grown; second, quality of the seed; third, percentage of germination; fourth, percentage of trash; fifth, purity of seed; sixth, presence and kind of weed seed.
 Seed must become acclimated to any particular section before they will produce the best crops. This often takes two or three years. It is always best to buy seed from a neighbor if he has them with the proper quality and purity. However, it will often be nec- essary to resort to the seed houses In that case a statement should be se cured from them stating where the seed was grown. For instance, seed is often shipped in from some distant state for local use, and the farmer may be greatly disappointed with re- suits. It is better to use seed grown east or west of the locality where it fs to be used than those grown eonsidera- ble distance north or south. It takes only few miles north or south to make one day difference in the season. Many farmers make the mistake of buying inferior seed because Of the high cost of good seed. Yet the in- crease in yield due to the better seed will pay for the difference in the cost of the seed several times, providing the quality is secured. A small sam pie of seed can be sent to the Arkan- sas Experiment Station at Fayetteville aad test will be run free of charge. It pays to know.
 Farmers often fail to consider the percentage of trash that seed con- tain. The farmer wants seed, not trash, yet the percentage of weed seed, par ticles of sand and dirt or sticks may make up fifteen or twenty per cent of the weight of the seed and such seed are worth only 80 or S5 per cent as much as the clean seed.

THE NEW SERUM PLANT
Location of Building Changed to Fa
 cilitate Shipping of Serum.

Government statistics show that 90 the United States die from hog chole- "a. In the treatment of cholera among hogs the demand for anti-hog cholera serum has increased to such an extent that it was necessary to erect new building in which to manufacture the serum at Little Rock. The old build ing was located at Fayetteville The erection of the plant at Little Rock was done to facilitate the shipment of serum.
 A site for the building was secured near the Veil Packing Company's plant and modern sanitary building was constructed to meet large de- mands in Arkansas.
 The veterinarian at the Experiment Station has held meetings at various places in the state, at which he has given special instructions in the ad. ministration of this serum. The farm demonstration agents have received special instructions in the use of anti hog cholera serum and these agents have already rendered great service in their counties in controlling this dread disease among hogs.
 By applying to the office of the state veterinarian at Fayetteville or the state demonstration agents at the Old State House, Little Rock, or of your local county demonstration agent yoy can secure the aid you desire in com batting this disease, which can be ab- solutely controlled by the use of the serum.
