sive rains, and according to Mr.. Dyer,
the county agent, some of them are
discouraged because their exhibit this
year did not come up to the standard
boys, Mr.. Dyer has written each a
personal letter, of which the following
is an extract; Your corn may have
failed or your pig may have died and
you feel discouraged, but we are still
holding you as a member of the club
and want you to come to this meet.

time. Bring the best ear of corn you
can find in your field One of the
meetings will be conducted personally
by Dean Miller and his co-workers. "

NJ ADOO Will AID
HANDLING COTTON
ALARM NEEDLESS,MSAY
URGES FARMERS AND MER-
CHANTS TO Co-oPERAIE-
PROTEST TO ENGLAND.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Treasury
officials last night made public an
announcement by Secretary McAdoo
that, in view of the action Of the al
lies in putting cotton on the CONTRA
band list, he would, if it became nee
essary, deposit $30,000,0OO or more in
gold in the federal reserve banks at
Atlanta, Dallas and Richmond for the
purpose of enabling the banks to re-
discount loans on cotton secured by
warehouse receipts made by NATIONAL
banks and state banks belonging to
the federal reserve system.
The gold would be deposited tenn
porarily at least, without interest
charge. 1t was explained that II 1t
appeared that the object could be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agreeing
to lend the money on cotton at rate
not to exceed per cent.
Exercise of the discretion CIV
enc to him by law read the treas
ury statement, Secretary McAdoo
said that the government will, for the
time being, charge no interest or
these deposits in federal reserve
banks; that such action is justified by
the unusual situation respecting cot
ton caused by the European war;
that he considers it his duty to use
every available means in his power
to help the cotton producer OF the
south the circumstances; that it is
matter of economic Importance to the
entire nation that those who have
produced the cotton crop shall have
fair opportunity to dispose OF 1t
gradually and in an orderly manner
so they may not be forced, Through
inability to market their cotton grad
uallv, to sell it at sacrifice prices.
"The federal reserve board, the Sec
rotary said, had right to determine
the rate of interest which the
banks can charge member banks
on notes or loans secured by insured
and warehouse cotton rediscounted
with federal reserve banks. He ha;
been unable to consult his colleague;
of the federal reserve board on &C
count of his absence from Washing
ton, but feels confident of their CO
operation in every reasonable way.
"Mr. McAdoo said, however, tina
should it appear that the object i
view could be accomplished wit
greater efficiency to the cotton pro
ducers, the merchants and banks o
the south, by depositing government
funds in the national banks, he woul
take that course and make deposits il
such national banks as would Civ
give him the assurance that the mon
ey so deposited or the credit base
thereon would be loaned on cotton in
sured or warehoused and at rate o
interest not to exceed six per cent.
"The secretary declared he believe
that there was no occasion tor alarm
about the future of cotton and that
the bankers and merchants would CO
operate with each other and with tn
cotton producers of the south in
spirit of patriotism and mutual re
gard for each others welfare, the sit
uation could be handled with happ
results to all concerned. He ex
pressed the earnest hope that thi
would be DONE

CANNING COMPOUNDS
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
HOUSEWIVES WARNED THAT
USE OF PRESERVING POW
DERS is HARMFUL.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-ln-
formation has come to the depart
ment of agriculture that the canning
season has brought the usual demand
on the part of housewives for salicy-
lie acid and boric acid. These prep
arations are sometimes sold IN the
form of powder under various trade
names and are recommended by the
promoters for use in preserving
canned goods in home canning. In
the directions for use the housewife is
told ito fill the jar with the fruit or
vegetables, cover with water, and add
a teaspoonful of the preserving pow
der. While it is true that these COM
pounds may retard the decay of the
fruit or vegetable, it is pointed out by
the experts of the department that
their uses may be attended by serious
disturbances of health. Salicylic acid
is we'll known as "a poisonous sub
substance, and one Of the evils which
may accompany its use is derange-
ment of the digestion. 1t is, there
fore, plain that its extensive use in
food may lead to disturbance OF d.
gestion and health.
The federal food and drugs act
prohibits the use of harmful preserv-
atives in foods that enter interstate
commerce. The food law of nearly
every state in the union forbids the
sale within the state of foods that
have been preserved with harmful
substances. Neither the federal or
state food laws apply to foods that
are canned in the home and consumed
there. 1t would seem, however, that
the housewife would not knowingly
use, in the foods she provides for her
family, substances that she could not
use in foods for sale without violat
ing the law, because these substances
are injurious to health.
Fruits and vegetables can be kept
Indefinitely if they are sterilized by
heat and properly sealed, and there
is no excuse, IN the opinion of the
experts of the department, for rum
ming any risk by using preserving
powders in addition to the possible
injury to health encourages uncleanly
or careless work in canning. Re-
lance is placed in the efficacy of the
preserving compound instead of up
on cleanliness and heat.
The department has issued bulle-
tins that give specific directions for
the preserving and canning of fruits
and vegetables without the use of
preserving powders or canning COM
pounds. These bulletins may be OBJ
tanned without cost from the depart
rent of agriculture. Application
should be made for Farmers Bulletin
No. 203 on Canned Fruit, Preserves
and Jellies, and No. 521 on Canning
Tomatoes at Home and in Club
Work. Also forms N. r. %, N. r. %,

WHY NOT WINTER
OATS IN ARKANSAS
Fall Sown Oats Yield Better Than
Those Planted in Spring-Sturdier
and Fit in Well With System Of Ro-
tation.

Why not fall oats? Two crops of
fall sown oats yield as much as three
crops of spring sown oats. Fall sown
oats will yield at least so per cent
greater than spring sown oats. The
weight per bushel is greater for fall
sown oats. Fall sown oats work well
into the crop rotation, for they may
be followed Immediately after corn,
the oats being followed the next sum-
mer by cowpeas. Fall oats are put in
the ground at time when the farm
teams are doing practically nothing.
Arkansas must grow larger acreage
of oats and more bushels to the acre.
Rail sown oats will help to do this.
Preparation Of Seed Bed.
For the best results, a well pre-
pared seed bed should be had. Where
possible, break the land prior to seed
ing time. Just before seeding time.
disc well and smooth with section
harrow. When oats are to follow i'm
mediately after a cultivated CROP
such as corn, the land may be double
disced and then smoothed and har-
rOwed well with section harrow.
The discing and narrowing should be
repeated until the soil is in good, mel
low condition.
Treat Seed for Loose Smut w
A good percentage of the oat crop
is destroyed annually by smut This
may be prevented by using the fol-
lowing mixture and treatment:

4. Allow the oats to remain in the

5. Spread them out to dry.
6. Machinery and receptacles to be
used in handling the oats first should
be thoroughly cleansed with the solu-
ton.

When to Sow.
For the northern part of the state,
sowing should begin not before the
middle of September In the south
erin part of the state October is pref
cradle.
Method Of Sowing.
BY using the drill, the seed are
placed in the soil at a uniform depth,
insuring a good, even stand and uni
formity in ripening. Experiment
shows that by using the drill larger
yields are obtained. Also, the drill
leaves the plants in little furrow,
thus affording slight protection
against cold and heaving. Use the
drill if possible; otherwise sow by
hand.
Rate Of Seeding.
Seed your oats at the rate OF eight
or ten pecks to the acre. Expert
ments conducted by the Arkansas
Experiment Station at Fayetteville
show that these rates give the most
economical yields.
Varieties.
In the northern part OF the state
SOW the turf oats, such as Winter
Turf. Virginia Turf, Winter Grey and
Snoma. In other sections the Red
Rust Proof oats are hardy and give
good results as well as the turf oats.
