Egg Laying Contest
 Proving Big Success
MORE THAN TWENTY POULTRY. MEN ENTERED WITH THIRTY
 DIFFERENT BREEDS

That the poultry men of Arkan- sas heartily endorse the plan of the Arkansas Agricultural Expir- ment Station to establish an egg laying contest between the va rious beeeds of poultry raised in this State is exemplifed in the fact that more than twenty of the leading poultry raisers have contributed thirty various breeds to take part in the contest at B a1ttNvil1a,p
 ais ssfa1 ;fa15Ss BHfawleJ y }nle,sbed an 600. uoI me st,, sts}y rsernigg:4 p an s a as 8 ,cas c.o1A !. nWasaHi Wen was announced by Ts9an Martin Nelson of the Col lege of Agriculture last June. Since the State has never SUD- piled funds for the poultry ex- perimentation and with scarcely any means in sight the erection of a satisfactory plant and equip ment was slow and difficult.
 However, with these difficult ties surmounted and with the hearty cooperation and support of poultrymen in every district in Arkansas, about thirty pens have been stocked for the con- test which is now in progress and which will continue for one year.
 'The stock placed by the grow CTS is fine" said Dean Nelson and leading poultry men have pronounced the plant with it's stock a splendid thing.
 The following breeds are entered in the contest: White Wyandottes, Buff Orphingtons, White Leghons, Minorcas, White Orphingtons, Columbian Rocks, Brown Leghorns, White Rocks, Barred Rocks, Buff Leghorns, Rhode Island Red, Anconas, Gold en Campines, White Face Black Spanish, Silver Campines, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Rocks, and Black Minorcas.
 The poultrymen who have con- tributed fine stock: Cummins Radcliffe, Little R 0 c k; L. R. Sternberg, Pine Bluff; s. L. Todd, Green Forest: Ellis Dun can, Prof. N. F. Drake, Hugh Hayes, F. N. Grunder, E. F. Lines, G. T. Sanders, Prof. E. w. Pickell, Fayetteville; F. s. Venable, TeXarkana; A. c. Bride well, Forest City; Jeff Owen, Sologhicia; L. F. Hartler, Con- way; s. R. Stout, Rogers; and F. A. Smither, Pine Bluff.
 The contest is starting off in good shape though the weather has been f1uctuating, making egg production unsteady. This announcement is prepared before the close of the month, therefore, egg production for the month will be given later.

Wet Land Should
 Be We'll Drained
SOY BEANS MAKE GOOD HOG PASTURE AND FINE HAY.
 PLANT MIDDLE OF APRIL.

During the rainy and wet weather of the winter months is the best time to clear out the open ditches and drain your land. Wet land on the farm is a nui- sance. The wet spots are often small, but they stand in the way of regular planting and cropping. They have to be planted late or replanted, and if they grow crop at all they leave ugly spots in the growing crops. It pays to drain out the wet spots, even at considerable cost. If the wet spot is of the saucer shape, or pond-like and has no convenient outlet for ditching, the trouble can be overcome sometimes by boring or digging a well in the lowest spot and filling the well with poles or broken rock. If the well goes down deep enough it will often draw the water off. By clearing ditches or digging new ones during the wet weather the running water is very help ful in determining h e grade required to run the water off properly. In runningyour ditch es it is always best to follow as nearly as possible the natural drain already in eXistance, un- less it makes the course too crooked, A ditch should be as nearly straight as possible and it will pay well in the long run in following the natural course l; I 4st.ss A < all of the water if you will cut through the high places and blow out the stumps or trees in the way and make the ditch straight, or nea rly so. A straight ditch will carry off the water faster than a crooked one will, and will not fill up as easi- ly.
 If you have hogs plant an acre of two of soy beans, and also patch of sorghum for hog pasture. Plant the soy beans in the drill in rows about three feet apart and blow them out like corn, using side harrow for the later cultivations. Plant about the middle of April. When the beans begin to get ripe turn the hogs n and watch them grow and fatten. f the soy beans rjpen and fall on h e ground they will not damage, and the hogs will g e them. Soy beans will make you a fine hay crop too and will do well if you o W them broadcast like peas. T h sorghum p c h should be used for hog pasture during August when pastures are dry and barren, Plant the sorghum in time for it to be large enough to turn the hogs on by the first of August.
 Keeping the hogs up is the best way to keep the cholera out. Give them plenty of a mixture of salt, sulphur and charcoal, an d keep plenty o f fresh water handy for them.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT
 Last week finished with a flourish in the cattle market, due to closing of Chicago to outbound shipments, and the resultant shifting of eastern orders for cattle to Kansas City. Expec- tation of a continued boom in demand drew out the very large supply of 22,000 head here to-day, the largest single days Febuary run of cattle on record here. Chicago is still closed 70 all shipments out, and according to advices received here to-day will probably remain closed for a week or ten days.
 A larger proportion than usual on Monday in killing grades, and fat cattle moved slowly, bids on them 15 to 25 lower. St e e r sales were generally made on that basis, but butcher grades sold steady in some cases, never more than 10 lower, ca e S steady. Steers that have been fed five or six months brought $9.35 to $8.50, but the bulk of steers were on the half fat order, selling at $7.40 to S7.90. Forty cars of quarantine cattle arrived, steers selling at S6.15 to S7.0O. Stockers and feeders sold around steady, some cases weak to 10 lower, some fair to good feeders around $7.30, about where they would have sold last week, choice feeders $7.75, stock steers large ly $6.50 to $7.50, springer COWS and heifers strong to-day, at S5. : 80 to S6.50, a few fancy heifers at $7. High corn makes feeders anxious to dispose of cattle, and for a time liberal supplies will continue to forestall price ad. vances. Hogs arrived to t h e number of 21. GOO head. including train brought down from an up-river market by Cudahy to his plant here. Prices were 5 to 10 lower, order buyers paying $6.85 for light hogs, packers up to $5.80 for mixed droves, bulk of sales $6. 70 to S6.S0. The close of the market was it's stron gest time. Chicago fell short 20, 900 head of the estimate made for to- day, and St. Louis over-ran about that number, having the exces- sive total of 30, 1000 head, and the trade was largely concentrated in attempting to secure bargains at the latter point. A good many Eastern orders are being filled here, and a large share of the supply will be bought for the shipping trade later in the week.
 Sheep receipts were II, 1000 head to-day, and the market advances 10 to 15 cents on paper, but was really 15 to 25 cents higher, when h e wetness of pelts was considered, consequent on rain here. Pea f. d lambs brought $8. 75, numerous droves at $8. 70, Nebraska fed ewes, 94 pounds average at S6.35, year lings $7.70. No great number of sheep or lambs are in sight at nearby feed yards and there should be good market balance of the week.
