STORMS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Bad Weather and First to Regain Efficiency.

Little Rock,-That sleet and wind storms cost the telephone companies millions of dollars every year was stated recently by s. A. Lane, division commercial superintendent of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone company in Little Rock. Ac- 3ording to Lane, the amount of dam age done by even slight storm is surprising. Repair work following a fifteen-minute electrical storm often costs several hundred dollars.
 A windstorm struck lola Kan, re- gently and blew down whole sections of telephone lines. Several of the poles were broken off and stood on their heads"
 A pole line at Texarkana, carrying the Texas long-distance lines, was re- gently demolished during a storm.
 Superintendent Lane estimated that in the United States last year the tele- phone companies spent eight million dollars to repair damages done to the telephone lines by storms and floodr. The last big storm in Kansas cost the telephone company over $250,000 for reconstruction work.

STRAWBERRY CULI.
 URE; HOW TO PLAAT
SINGLE HEDGE AND MATTED ROW SYSTEMS BOTH USED WITH PROFIT IN ARKANSAS -- GIVE BED GOOD POSITION.

Strawberries may be set either ln setting is more desirable, as this gives an opportunity for the ground to be cleared and broken in the fall. Thor ough preparation of the new strawb9r ry bed is extremely important. It pays to give the new bed the most desirable conditions possible.
 At planting time it protects the plants from the sun and drying wind A damp burlap cloth has been found practical by some culturists, while others prefer to place them in pail with cover or a basket lined with cloth.
 In the single hedge row system, run nere are permitted to grow in rows sufficient to, fill the space between the original plants. This forms con tinuous row By this method the rows should be three feet apart, and the plants set 20 inches apart in the row.
 In the matted row-the one most used by commercial growers, the rows are placed three and one-halt to four feet apart, and plants 20 to 24 inches apart In the row. These are allowed to spread during the summer. making a row about IS inches wide.
 The essential features in setting the strawberry plants are: rapid planting without the plant being dangerously exposed to sun or wind. and to see that the crown is not covered with soil or extends above the surface. Also to have the soil pressed firmly on the roots, with the riot system being spread out in fan-shaped fashion or as nearly so as possible.
 These results may be best accom- plished by a man making a Vshaped opening i'll the soil with a-spade, dib- ble or grub hoe, and second man placing the plants. The "firming" of the soil is done by the heal of the man using the spade, while the plant is being held in proper position by tho man placing 1t.
 In preparing the plants for setting see that from third to one-half of the roots system is cutoff.
 All of the dead foliage, and practi Cally all of the leaves should be re moved from the crown of the plant q this time. H, E. Truax

COWPEAS AND SOY
 BEANS FUR FORAGE
ALL VARIETIES PRODUCE HEAVY
 YIELDS IN STATE - EXPERi' NENTS AT EVllLE SHOW THEM GOOD INVEST WENT

Among the crops that can be sub stituted for cotton, none is more gen erally practicable than cowpeas ana soy beans. Both crops are extremely we'll adapted to the soils and climate of Arkansas. Both are fairly certain to produce good yields of highly nu' tritious forage and grain.
 As a rule cowpeas will do better on poorer soils than soy beans The soy beans perhaps, have a slight advantage in withstanding drought Cowpeas have an advantage in that they continue their growth un- til frost, whereas, soy beans must be harvested at a certain time or the leaves fall off
 Cowpeas, usually produce a larger yield of forage than most varieties of soy beans but not so much grain. Late varieties of soy beans, however. are high yielders of forage. but do not produce much grain. Cowpea varie-

this is quite frequently a good sign of tuberculosis. Again, if there is an occasional death in the flock without any apparent cause, the bird should be examined carefully for the follow ing symptoms:
 The liver is most commonly affect ed and it is here that it would be most noticeable to people experienced with the disease. There are also white or grayish colored nodules of various sizes protruding avove the outer surface of the liver When the nodules are opened they present a cheesy formation and are sometimes gritty. The spleen and intestines are attacked, and an examination will show nodules similar to those describ- ed in the liver.
 The extent to which wild birds, such as sparrows. pigeons, crows and others may spread the disease is not definitely known, though it is quite probable that such is the case. as these birds are susceptible to the dis ease.
 Owners ot the birds should be careful to keep their nocks free from the disease. as it is almost impossible to rid flock of tubercu losis once it has been infected. Dis eased fowls should be separated from the remainder of the flock. and all dead birds should be burned at once.

While Investigating the outbreaks of tuberculosis in cattle and hogs, many states have found that the same disease is prevalent among fowls, par ticularly turkeys and chickens, though a great many other birds are susceptible to the disease. Tuberculo- sis in fowls is transmitted from one bird to another, and naturally starts from a diseased bird being placed in healthy flock.

FARMERS CLEANUP DAY
Sanitation as Necessary in Country
 as in the City

Have cleanup in your own yard A dirty yard ls> an excellent breeding place for bacteria-both putrefactive and disease germs. Freezes carry these into your house-they settle on your food, fill the air you breathe and may infest the water you drink. Disease follows. It may take the form of acute sickness-it may be notice able only in lack of energy sleepiness, or seeming slight ailments.
 Scraps from the table ara often tossed into ths yard for the chickens to eat Calling the chickens around the door or leaving the food to rot is condition that is accompanied not only by the production of bacteria but by the formation of most undesir. able odors that detract from good health.
 Bucket For Wastes
 There should be a recepticle for all liquid wastes such as dish.wa- ter, water from washing vegetables. etc. This should be covered to pre- vent flies from getting in and should be emptied several yards from the house and care should be taken not to empty the wastes continually in the same place.
 Wastes that are fit for pigs or chickens should be separated from that which is worthless-placed in a covered garbage dish and fed to the animals at least once every other day before it rots. If you want healthy meat keep healthy animals If putrid food is unfit for you it is also unfit for them, Scrub your garbage pail and prevent undue development of bacteria. Other solids should be burned.
 A cleanup day should also include the removal of old lumber and brush iron and tin cans, or anything that will hold water and form a breeding place for mosquitoes.
