WHEAT AFTER CORN

Many farmers in Arkansas who will want to grow wheat are going to have difficulty in getting the wheat ground prepar- ed early enough. Ground that has been in wheat this year should be ploWed at least four or preferably six weeks before an- other crop is seeded, thus giving plenty of time for making a good seed bed. A corn field that has been kept clean and where the corn can be shocked and then by the middle of October hauled to a point near the corn crib, will furnish this year an ideal seed bed for wheat and at the same time give the farmer a chance to use pure seed if he wants to improve his variety of wheat. The College of Agriculture at Fayetteville thinks this is the only safe way to use high priced seed wheat and this year clean corn field will furnish an ideal seed bed.

SAVsh2 TaE CORN CROP

tiefffF1sIe, Ark, Aug. 50, l9l9,
 1 number 55f 55f . inqx-1es as E E how to best handle the corn crop this year have come to us, and fof the benefit of those who are at 8 loss to know just what action IS best. these few lines may be worth while. Arkansas is buy ing too much feedstuf' both for man and beast abroad, especially things that we can and do raise right here at home. Last year we imported more than $3, 900, 900 in foodstutfs for man and beast. We ship our products out in the rough or cheap state and import them back in the finished or dearest state.
 The recent heavy rains and winds have damaged corn very much, and 1t will take intelligent work to prevent heavy losses. Much of this loss can be prevent ed by cutting and shocking the corn just as soon as 1t will pos sibly do to cut, and the fact that 1t looks too green will cause some of US to wait longer than we should.
 The continued rains and damp weather, cool nights and days will hold the fodder and stalk green long after the corn IS fully matured, and if left lying on the ground much of 1t will rot. Therefore 1t will pay the farmer to get busy and cut and shock his corn just as soon as he possi- bly, can do so.
 Some of the corn that was i'll the low bottoms and flooded by water for F to "A hours will sour, especially that which was either just getting into the roast ing ear stage and not too hard for roasting ears. This should be fed as rapidly as possibly to hogs.
 With the splendid white and chinquepin oak mast there is this year our farmers ought to produce some cheap pork, but to do this it will require care and diligence. You dare not just ] turn the hogs out to rustic the acrons without any care, if you do the chances are that they will all die with cholera, or from disease caused by worms. Feed a little corn with the mast, enough i to keep the hogs on a range where you can see them frequent
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-09-03
CUT ARD SHOCK CORN

In few counties in the state there is not going to be an over abundance of rough feed. From many counties comes the report that even this year many farm CTS will have to buy hay. If these farmers have a few acres of corn the College of Agriculture recommends that the corn be cut some time in September and shocked about 200 stalks to the shock, and after four or six week in the shock all could be hauled to the feeding yards and either be put under a shed or stacked carefully and husked at leisure during the winter, or the corn pulled from the stalk and then the stalks fed to the live stock. In this way the farmer will get several times as much good from these corn stalks as if leftin the field, although los ing the value secured by blowing the stalks under. However, if feed is the important thing, cut
 ting the corn and feeding the
 stalks is better than buying feed.

ly, and here you can feed them { soad conditioner to keen them

J sg good conditioner to keep them ehsaIfhy and JEius rfttdafce 'eff f4s ! danger of cholera OF other disease. As soon as they are fat or nearly so finish on corn to harden the fat.
 Every farmer that can possibly hold his corn ought to do so. The corn crop in the corn states is lighter than usual and corn will be high in price in the spring and will be needed right here at home. If we will feed the corn intelligently to hogs and other live stock right on our farms we will, by, saving the manure, be able to materially add to the fertility and producing powers of our farms. NC
 Hogs are quick money, handled right, and by providing pasture and legumes, we can feed our corn and produce pork as cheap ly as it can be done any where in the world, if not cheaper. But, Mr Farmer, you should look out for cholera this fall, especial ly when you go to feeding corn or let the hogs take the acrons. Get busy, have your hogs Vacci- mated, keep them free from worms and vermin, it can be done cheaply and will make you dollars for every one you spend that way.
 Save every bushel of corn you possibly can for you will be say ing dollars when you do. If your corn is lodged badly cut it up just as soon as possible, shock it and get the corn and fodder into the shelter as soon as you can, you will have better corn and better fodder.
 With corn at 75 cents Der bushel it will cost between z cents and s cents per pound to produce pork on corn alone, by adding some of the legumeS and proVid- ing some green pasture you can, by using some corn, produce pork at less than i cents per pound and thus save 3 to 3 1-2 cents per pound in the production of pork. More live stock, more grass and leguminous crops will swell Carroll county farmers bank accounts and add to their soils fertility that will enable them to produce more.
 Yours for better farming, Ben F. Greer,
 County Agent.
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-09-03
commussTY WINE BREEDING

Now that there is more than usual interest in the growing of hogs it will be well for farmers to consider the disadvantages in each community keeping to one breed. It is unWise for one farmer in aneighborhood to have Poland Chinas, another B CT k shires and another Durocs. In this way they can get better breeding stock and they can de- velope 8 high standard in this way. The same is true of cattle and all live stock. That Com munity Breeding" should be the watch word is the recommen- dation of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas.

rv() MEN MAY QUIT
 WILSON CABINET
..moa PUTS OUT RR. GARRl- sON AND NR. REO-
 FIELD.

late uiopoteSii IL oiAi ' Q
 i'm says: Reports from appar-
 ntIv authorative sources that
 p,psident Wilson will soon lose tuo of his cabinet members are bong given credence in certain quarters.
 Secretary Garrison, it is said,
 intends to resign to run for gov enor of New Jersey, and Secre- tav of Commerce Redfeld will ret out of the cabinet because of the great amount of criticism he received as result of the Eastland disaster at Chicago.
 It has not been possible to ob- tain from Secretary Garrison an official statement of his inten- tions. Once before, however, when similar reports were circu- lated, the secretary intimated that he intended to serve out his full term.
 In well informed circles it is thought that the resignation of Secretary Garrison is less of probability than that of Secretary Redfeld.
 The secretary of war, its well known, is well pleased with his position and his work, and, be- sides, is extremely popular with the military experts under him.
 Furthermore, on account of Hgor, his tremendous capacity for work and his ability, he has attained an enviable position of fr6filinedce Ill the cabin ct.
 Just at this time also he is en- gagged on the most important piece of work that his depart ment has undertaken since he became the secretary of war the preparation of an adequate military policy for the United States. This policy will be com 'peted very soon, and will then be in condition for submission tOCongress for the purpose of having its provision enacted into law,
 Those who know Secretary Garrison best are of the opinion ltWould be unlike him to give up his office just when his great est take was half completed, leaving 1t to the tender mercies of Congress-the stage in it's progress where it needs most the aid of it's sponsor.
 There is a strong impression, however, that Secretary Redfield mas not found things as pleasant as ne would like them since he went to Chicago and took a hand m the Eastland investigation, IL IS generally understood Presi- ueAt Wilson personally suggest ed to Mr. Redfield that he re- turn to Washington and permit the authorities in Chicago to at tend to their duty.
 At any rate, it is k nown that .ae criticism of Secretary Red aeld 1t di on account of his activities Ill Ill Ghlcago Was1 distasteful to ule administration.

 " BECOMING "A RUIN
SCENE OF LEES SURRENDER PRESENTS ASPECT OF
 A3ANDON

N6ANDOS
 A special dispatch to the Herald from Lynchsburg, Va, says: The village of Appomattox, the place of Lees surrender 50 years ago, has fallen into ruin and nearly disappeared. Three houses have survived fire, storm and neglect, but even those are warped and sagging, and the promise is that they, too, will soon rot, and that weeds, follow ed by scrub pine, will overrun their sites. Two of these houses have been abandoned. The other one is occupied by the large family of a small farmer, stranger in that part of Virginia and unfamiliar with and indi1fer- to the great memories that clust- CT around that tragic ground.
 At the time of the surrender the village was the seat of Appo- mattoX county. It was then, after four years of war, a ram shackle, crossroads hamlet. A cluster of dwelling. mostly of wood, Q livery stable and 9 store CT two were built around the sleepy courthouse square. The court building was burned down 20 years ago, and today the desolate courthouse square is cumbered with ashes, charred plaster and shattered bricks.
 In particularly dark patch of 9 gloomy stretch of pines the sightsaer com the North vcas-:.==-==--alaiaellt. vs-==szs .z. scription on it has caused tense and bitter controversies in the south. This is the inscription:

 Maj. Gen. Bryan Grimes of North Carolina planned the last battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia and command ed the infantry engaged therein, the greater part of which were North Carolineans.
 This stone is erected by the authority of the General Assem- ply of North Carolina in grate- full and perpetual memory of the yalor, endurance and patriotism of her sons, who followed with unshaken fidelity the fortunes of the confederacy to the closing scene, faithful to the end.
