GOOD WORK TO CONTINUE
HIGH PRICED COTTON WILL NOT KEEP ARKANSAS FROM
 FEEDING HERSELF.

Little Rock, Oct. 19.-Diversifica- tion is an accomplished fact, and the important question now confronting those who have been interested in the proposition, is, Can 1t be maintained?
 Experts like Dean Miller of the University, State Demonstration Agent c. w. Watson, and representa- tives of the railroad agricultural de- partments and the International Har- vester Company say that it can.
 That there is a prevalent doubt, however, is apparent from paragraphs like the following, taken from the Brinkley Argus, refecting the honest judgment of many:
 "Let Arkansas Feed Herself is a dear old song but when cotton is hov- ering around the IA cent mark and seed at $50 per ton, there's a poor prospect of hearing it sung again next year.
 There is very general and wide spread movement, directed by the ag- ricultural aid organizations, to see that the song is sung again, and that by a full choir and congregation. The question of marketing is the biggest one yet to be solved, and more atten- tion will be given to this during the coming year.
 The agricultural commissioner has estimated from reliable statistics that cotton has already been dethroned as king, since this years crop is valued at $40,000,000, while the corn crop of the state is worth $45,000, ,OOO. This is probably the first time in the his tory of the state that cotton has fallen to second place, and it speaks volumes for the effect of the campaign that has been conducted for several years in behalf of diversifcation. Accord ing to the figures compiled by MT Page, marketable crops of the state for 1915, aside from cotton and cot tonseed are worth $91 ,466,000.
 Another indication of the fact that diversifcation is no longer a theory but an accomplished fact, it is noted that in territory contiguous to Little Rock, from which only two carloads of corn were shipped last year, 71 carloads have been shipped already this year, and the shipments have only begun. One town, near Little Rock which last year up to this time hae imported 230 carloads of oats fol local consumption, not one car ha: been brought in so far. The same is true in many cases of corn, hay meat, and other food and feed-stutfs
 From the best information obtain able it seems that the Arkansas farm CT is in a better financial condition a the beginning of winter than he ha been in many years. They have learn ed the lesson of a more rigid econom. and of l;vi~" ct home, and not de pending upon other states. The goo' price of cotton, although the crop l short, is enabling the farmers to pa, their debts, and they are "catchin, up,' where they have been a year be hind for several years.

AS TO THE BEST" BREED OF
HOGS FOR THE FARMER.

The question is often asked, What
is the best breed of hogs?" In answer
ing this question, it may be said there
is no one breed of hogs that is "best"
for every farmer. That which is best
for one may not be best for another.
In general way, the best" hog is the
one the farmer likes, provided it Is
what his market demands. Should his
market want hog Of the bacon type,
then one or other of the breeds Of that
type would be best in his case. On
the other hand, should the most mar
ketable be a fat, or lard, hog, then the
most profitable animal for him to raise
would be one or other of the lard types.
This Is matter which the farmer
will have to decide for himself.
After the farmer has decided upon
the breed of hogs which he believes to
be the best and most profitable for him
to raise, however, he should then stick
to that breed and endeavor to develop
1t to its most perfect condition.
There has been a tendency, up to the
present, to change breeds frequently,
upon the slightest suggestion, whether
with apparent reason or otherwise, be-
fore adequately determining the suit
ability OF each as to the needs of the
farmer, or the requirements of his
market. This is to be deprecated, as it
is not possible to get the most out of
breed by continually changing from
one to another.
The most famous individuals, and
the most famous herds of animals, have
been built up, developed and perfected,
only by sticking to the breed and get
ting the most out of it.
There is plenty of room, and sale,
for all the different breeds of hogs;
but it is useless for one individual to
try to raise, and bring to their most
perfect development, all of them.
In the opinion of the writer, there
will be an increasing demand in the
state for pure-bred hogs, of all kinds,
for breeding and grading purposes;
and those who make specially, each
of his own particular breed, will reap
the benefit of increased prices for
animals OF the highest excellence.-W.
H. Dalrymple, Professor of Veterinary
Science, Louisiana State University.

THE CREAM SEPARATOR.

The cream separator is one of the
great inventions that has helped to
revolutionize the dairy business. Its
effect has been especially noticeable
upon the butter industry It's tendency
has been to lower the quality of butter.
but this Is not due to any fault in the
principle of the cream separator but
chiefly to the lack of proper care of the
separator and in handling the cream.
One great advantage resulting from
the use of the separator Is centraliza.

BRIDGE MEETING
HELD AT JACKSON

On last Monday, Messrs. w. B
Smith, F. o. Hamilton, R. S. Soule and
G. NJ. Lester, of the committee of West
Feliciana citizens appointed at mass
meeting, went to Jackson to confer
with the people there in regard to the
proposition of bridging Thompson's
creek. Elrie Robinson, of The True
Democrat and The Feliciana Record
accompanied the committee at the re.
quest of the Town Council of Jackson.
A delegation representing the Baton
Rouge Chamber of Commerce and head
/ ed by President Joe Ramires of that
body, was also present. In this party
were Joe Ramires, State Engineer ].
w. Monget, Jacques Welsh, J. S. Kean,
H. c. Yarbrough, ]. H. Percy, Kemp C.
Smith, VIM. Cook and w. S. Payne.
These two committees were met by
a number of the representative citizens
fof Jackson and taken in buggies to
look over the three different locations
for the proposed bridge or bridges.
The first sites visited were those of
the three-bridge plan, a map of which
appeared in the last issue of this paper
The next site was ConnelPs bluff, near
the conjunction of Thompson's creek
and Rag branch, where it is thought
one bridge would suffice The last place
visited was the old Decker ford, where
it is thought one bridge would suffice.
Returning to Jackson the visitors
were entertained at lunch at the Dud-
ley House by the citizens of Jackson.
After lunch, meeting was held at
the Bank OF Jackson. D. NJ Pipes pre-
sided. After stating the object of the
meeting, Mr.. Pipes called upon differ
ent gentlemen present to give their
views upon the project, and short talks
were made by Messrs. Ole Olson of
New Orleans, J. W. Monget, j. Welsh,
o. l.. Bennett, ]. A. Rodick, c. C.
Brown, president of the East Feliciana
police jury G. M. Lester, Elrie Robin
son, W. B. Smith and Joe Ramires.
Each spoke heartily in favor of the
and pointed to the manifold
which would accrue to the
people of both parishes by bridging
this stream. The consensus of opinion
among those present was that the
three-bridge plan was the better for all
concerned.
Mr.. Pipes appointed the following
committee to confer with the police

But at present it is most generally ap
piled in the powdered form, being di
! luted or mixed with flour or air-slaket
lime, which makes it adhere to the
foliage better 1t should be applied
while the dew Is on, by busting il
through thin sack or by means of a
powder gun.
Paris green Is also standard poison
used. 1t can be used as liquid or as
a powder. The strength most common.
! ly used is from three to eight ounces
ito fifty gallons of water, and some
quicklime should be added to prevent
its burning the foliage. Used as a
powder, -four or air.sIaked lime should
be added to make it adhere to the
foliage better and to prevent burning
the part of plant to which it is applied.
Kerosene and whale-oil soap emul-
sions, and lime sulphur wash are the
insecticides most commonly used I'M
der class 2. Their preparation is as
follows:
Kerosene emulsion is prepared by
|dissolving " pound of some kind of
soap in a gallon Of hot water To this
add two gallons of kerosene and mix
thoroughly. This is diluted to the de-
sired per cent by the addition of water.
The strength is usually about or
per cent concentrated.
Whale-oil soap emulsion or other
soap emulsions are prepared by dis
solving the soap in hot water. The
concentration varies from one pound
for six gallons Of water to two pounds
per gallon of water. 1t is applied by
means of spray and is used mostly
for aphis and soft-bodied insects.
Lime-sulphur wash has long been a
standard remedy in the West for scale
insects and is now being used In the
East very extensively for the same
pest. The formula for It's preparation
is 20 pounds of unslaked stone lime;
flowers OF sulphur, 15 pounds; and

IMPORTANT INSECTICIDES
Their Preparation and Use, With Special
Reference to Summer Spraying.

1t has been well said that this is an
age OF insects. The farmers and truck
growers have long known of the great
damage they have done to different
crops, but it has only been in recent
years that they have tried to any
extent to reduce this damage.
There are many ways of combating
insects, and all insects have natural
enemies, more or less. The materials
used for the destruction of insects are
commonly called insecticides; and
these insecticides in connection with
the natural enemies are about all that
can be done to hold them in check dur
| ing the growing seasons.
Before fighting insects, 1t is very
essential to have knowledge Of their
life histories and feeding habits; to
know whether they are biting (mandibu-
late) or sucking (haustellate) insects,
so that the right kind of insecticide
can be used and at the right time to be
most effective.
These materials are roughly divided
into four classes:
1. Poisons.
2. Contact insecticides, which kill by
either clogging up the spiracles, the
openings of the respiratory system; or
by entering the trachea and thus caus-
ing suffocation; or by their corrosive
action on the skin.
g. Repellants, which deter the in
sects from attacking the plant or ami
NAL to which they are applied.
4. Gases, which are used for fumigat-
ing buildings, stored products and
greenhouses.
Arsenates and paris green are the
most common insecticides that are
used under class /. They are prepared
as follows:
Arsenate of lead.-It Is usually sold
in the form of white paste or powder,
that will mix readily with water that
can be applied as spray. The strength
that is generally used is from two to
