1914 a Record Cotton Year.

Census bureau statistics show that the cotton crop of 1914 was the biggest ever produced in the United States. amounting to over l6.1Co,OoO 500 pound bales o+ lint cctton and over 100000 500 pound of inter cotton. obtained from the seed at the oil mills anc extensively used in the manufac- ture of military explosives. The value of the lint is estimated at S5zO,0OOOOO. despite the de- moralization of the market as a re- suit of the European war. This. together with the estimated value of the seed. makes the total value of the crop to growers $zO4 .OOO.- 900, compared with 1.OOO.- 900, the value of the preceding years crop.
 Noteworthy features of the re- port are the increases shown in the produetio of cotton in California and Arizona, two states where the cotton-growing industry is oompa- ratively new and in which the pro- duct is of exceptionally good quail tY.

Betting On Peace.

The growing conviction that the war may end within six months seems to be pretty strong in Eng land. The English are betting on the duration of the war, as they bet on rretty nearly everything that looks like sporting proposi- ton, and book-making of this sort has come to be a regular business in London. According to the Lon- don Mail, here are the official odds:
 One to two that the war will enc before June 1, 1915,
 Even that the war will end be- fore Sept. l, 1915;
 Three to one that the war vii end before Dec. l. 1915;
 Ten to one that the war will enc before March 1, 1916.

CAUSES STRANGE EXPERIENCE
 ON NEW YoRk-FRlsCo LINE.
An Early Morning Gall From New York Will Most Likely Find
 Frisco Man in Bed.

New York.-A New York business man called the manager of his branch house in San Francisco on the long distance telephone at nine o'clock tNew York time) the other morning and found him in bed asleep. It was six a. Ill. in San Francisco when the New Yorker lifted the receiver from the telephone hook
 This peculiar incident was brought about by the recent completion oi the American Telephone X Telegraph Company wires from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This line wipes out three hours of time and 3,400 miles of dis tance between the two coasts.
 When old Father Time heard the first conversation over this line he must have gasped! Many complica- tons may arise from the use of this line. Suppose San Francisco GUS toner should call the sales manager of bi2 New York firm at five o'clock in the afternoon {San Francisco time) :. The answer might come back over the wire that the New Yorker had gone

 Prior to the completion of the Sa, Francisco line the longest distanc over which the voice could travel wa a little more than two thousand mile -hetween New York and Denver.
 The San Frarcisco line was planne, and constructed by the Experiments 1 and Research Department of tho 1 American Telephone & Telegraph Company. which is composed of five hundred and fifty scientists and en- gineers. Although, the expense of maintaining this department is very great. its work has been of tremen- dous benefit to the public It is respon- sible for many Improvements in tele- phone apparatus by which the scope of the service of the Bell System has been broadened until now 1t covers tbe entire territory of the nation.

Plant le9ume Crops on Every Possible Acre

This is year when every acre possible should be planted to a soil building crop of some kind Feeds are high priced and so are fertilizers, and the man who grows these instead of buying them will be laying the firmest kind of foundation for a future prosperity.
 One of the marks of the success ful farmer is the ability to produce to the maximum possible extent the crops that feed the land; the mark of the mortgage-cove farm is generally ruinous adher- ence to one-erop system that forgets that fat soils, fat stock and an ample living for the family should be the primary considera- tions.
 Let's see where we can use the soil-building crops to advantage: First, there come the oat and wheat fields, where the crops will be harvested in May and June. The man who fails to have a crop of peas, beans or clover after his crops of small grain is simply neg lecting the biggest source of profit, for the feed and soil fertility that come from such crops often mean more per acre than the grain crop.
 Then not a single acre of corn should be laid by without having peas soWn in the middles, or in the southern part of the cotton belt velvet beans may be planted about the time the corn is planted, or just after. A corn field without peas, beans or peanuts for soil building and fall winter feed is sell dom returning more than one-halt the net profit that it should.
 Then this fall, from seed saved during the next two months. every cotton middle should be seeded to clover or vetch.
 Plant the legumes everywhere  this year. If you have the seed. So much the better; but if necessary, but them. for you will find few in vestments more profitable. Then next fall, whether cotton be low or high in price, you will be largely in dependent, because you will have materially cut your fertilizer bill for the following year.-The Pro- gressive Farmer.

The Use of Water.

The astonishing statement is- sued from the experts of the agri- cultural department at Washington that growing plants require about a thousand times their weight in water to bring them to maturity. The chemist has apprised us of the very large percentage of this fluid which enters into the constitution of all living things and most inor- ganic substances, but the state ment just quoted gives a still more adequate idea of the role which water plays in sustaining life upon the globe. The housewife who takes loaf of bread out of the oven, for instance, is lifting a prod uct which. in case the loaf weighs a pound. represents the utilization of about two tons of water. This is 500 gallons, The 1O-pound roast of beef which the family at tacks at dinner has been brought to it's maturity only at the expense of 800 tons of water. which, as little figuring assures us is exactly z5,OOO gallons. or 6OO,O0O pints. The soup. the fish. the vegetables, the dessert and the beverages all represent equally surprising amounts of the fluid, and as most of us eat three meals day. it is not difficult to realize that, directly and indirectly. each of us is absorbing literal rivers. For instance the average man uses a ton of water for drink in the course of a year, 400 tons in bread and 4,OOO tons in meat. This of itself figures out 100000 quarts, which would keep quite respectable river flow ing for some time. In addition there is the water in the fruits which he eats. in the vegetables, the desserts and various other ar ticles of diet, which, in all proba- bility, more than doubles the esti- mate. Two-thirds of the earth S surface is water, and nor nally the air contains very large percent age of it, while numberless streams exist beneath the surface. It is, all told, tremendous volume, but, in the light of the facts, none too great to support the life processes which, whether in plant or animal, depend absolutely upon it.

1t means something moro serious. It indicates the presence of a large num- Der of bacterial germs. These germs sometimes become so numerous that thirty drops of milk will contain as many as one million germs Many of these bacteria are disease producing organisms and are dangerous to peo- pie using the milk, especially small children.
 To prevent this contamination the Hanks and udder of the COW should he free from dirt and manure The ud- der should be carefully washed as we'll as the hands of the milker The old fashioned wide-topped milk pail is especially bad for catching large amounts of dirt and loose hairs. The covered milk pail should always be used. as it has a small opening in the top with a double strainer so that it is impossible for the dirt and filth to drop in the milk during the process of milking.

|S THERE ANY COIN
 IN THE CORN CROP?
WITH CONSERVATION OF MOIST. uRE, DEEP FLOWING AND CARE. FUL CULTIVATION EXPERT MENTS PROVE THERE IS.

Is there any money in the corn crop? Hardly, if We take as a basis the average acre yield in Arkansas of 19 bushels But when we take into consideration that individual farmers and members Of boys corn clubs are securing yields varying from 50 to 13d bushels to the acre. one is tempted to believe that the trouble lies in our methods and not with the corn crop. Last season most of us suffered from the drouth. Let us make certain this year, if possible, that this does rot ita ble.
 Conserve Moisture.
 Moisture can never be conserved to better advantage or can cultivation be done so quickly or eheaply as before the crop is planted. Deep blowing and an occasional use of the subsoiler is desirable in order to provide a 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 in February. A couple of days before planting the field Is run over with a 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 In 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 praetica ble once every ten days. Especially 1 is desirable to cultivate after a pack I ing rain As the crop develops the cultivation should gradually become more shallos as not to disturb the roots of the corn plants In dry season a continua ton of this practice until the crop is in the roasting ear stage gives best results
