acres, taking out wood lot, horse and
COW lots. garden and other truck
patches and 40 acres for field croDs.
He planted 10 acres in cotton, 10
acres IN clover, acres in COW peas.
Is acres in corn and soy beans with
corn and sowed rye in cotton middles.
HE says the dryer it got last sum.
mer the closer he studied demonstra-
ton methods (he calls them practica,
methods) and the harder he tried to
carry them into practice. He
sold some corn and hay. He
tells me he has kept enough to
feed his stock II months from date.

HARVESTING THE ONION.

How shall l store my onions so
that they will keep during the remain
der of the summer and during win
teri"
The above question is one that is
frequently asked by the farmers of
the state. The following suggestions,
If carried out, will greatly help In
solving the problem:
Do not allow the onions to remain
in the ground after they are mature,
but dig them when from 80 to 80 per
cent OF the tops die and fall over.
Three or four rows may be piled to-
gether In windrow as they are dug
and allowed to remain in this way I'M
til the tops are dr., which will re-
quire several days owing to the de.
gree of sunshine 1t may be neces-
sary to turn the onions over at inter.
walls of two days until they are thor.
oughly dry. Do not allow white onions
to remain In the sun until thew turn
green.
Place in Bags.
AS soon as properly cured in the
field, place the onions in bags and car.
~ to the storage house. The stor-
age house should be we'll ventilated
especially until the bulbs are thor
oughly dry. If only few bushels are
to be stored, it Is good idea TO
spread them out on the floor of a
building, piling them not more than
six inches deep on the floor. When
placed In this way there is little dan
ger Of the bulbs heating or sprouting
from moisture. Some of the regular
onion storage houses have a series If
shelves. one above the other in which
the bulbs are spread out to dry. IF
you have to store them in bags leave
plenty Of air space between the DIFF
ferent bags and be sure the bulbs are
all cured before placing them in the
bags.

MARKETING THE PEACHES
Car Lot Shipments Is Most Practical
For Arkansas Banner Fruit.

For Arkansas conditions. where the
markets are comparatively distant
there is just one way to market
peaches successfully on a commercial
scale and that is in car lots. Thi,
generally means comparatively, as few
growers have enough of any one va
riety 20 make up carlot themselves.
Growers in the same community
should plant the same variety in or
der that they may ripen at the same
date. 1t is almost impossible for a
peach grower to ave by himself.
Therefore, do not expect to go into a
community. no matter how we'll the
soil and climate are adapted to the
culture of peaches, and expect to
make a success Of five or 10 acres of
peaches unless you have good local
market Better get a few neighbors
to go in with you and plant few
acres and market comparatively. Form
. local cooperative association, and,
If possible, affiliate with larger cen
tral marketing agency.
AS for packages. the trade uses the
bushel basket and the six-basket crate.
Nearly all the markets prefer the
bushel basket, and therefore, it is, IN
most cases, the more desirable pack

SOIL INCUBATION
MAKES GOOD YIELD
In Growing Legumes It Is Well to
Know Whether Proper Bacteria Are
Present in the Soil.

The beneficial effects of growing le
gumes on poor soils have been recog-
nized from the earliest days o. agri-
cultural history. For this reason there
has always been tendency to grow
legumes especially in older farming
regions.
Investigate Bacteria.
In growing legumes it is always per-
tinent to know whether proper bac-
terra are present in the soil so that
the legume can take part of its
supply OF nitrogen from the air and
not entirely from the soil. No one can
tell this until the legume is tried. BY
digging up the plant by the roots and
washing the soil away with water the
nodules, il present, can easily be
found. If these are not present the
legume plant cannot take nitrogen
from the air.
Methods Of incubation.
When growing a certain legume on
a soil and especially in community
where 1t has never been grown there
Is always a chance that artificial in
oculation may be necessary. Two
methods are commonly employed. One
is known as the soil transfer method.
Here soil at the rate of 900 to 500
pounds to the acre is taken from an
old field where the legume has been
growing, and the bacteria are known
to be present, and scatter over the
field to be planted. With the other
method pure cultures of the strain of
bacteria suited to a certain legume
are made. Such cultures are made by
certain commercial concerns, or may
be secured in limited quantities free
OF charge by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. G. Although soil in
oculation is likely to be the more GER
tain, the pure cultures can be used
to good advantage where inoculatcd
soil cannot be secured.
