Last Word on CIovers.

Much has been written within the last two months about the growing of cloNers and cover crops m Ar kansas and the campaign conduct ed by the Extension Division of the University Of Arkansas and U. $. Department of Agriculture has been q very vigorous one and the county agents and bankers everywhere are reporting unusual interest and re- porting also that the acreage to be seeded t0 clovers will be very sat isfact0ry. By Saturday, September 2, every farmer in Arkansas should have decided delnHeiv upon the number of acres and as to the vari- ety of clover he is to seed. Every business man in Arkansas and all business agencies are interested in this great movement Thousands of farmers will be asked on Sep tember 2 by their friends among the business men Co state exactly how many acres of clOvers they are to seed and the variety. This information then should get to the county agents where there are such valuable public servants. and from other counties this information should be sent 10 Mir. C. w.

Rape for pias.

Every farmer who expects to car ry over a few pigs for the winter should plant within the next two weeks a patch of rape for winter pasture. Rape planted before the middle of September will furnish pasture for at least three months and farmers will be surprised at the number of pigs that can be pastured on an acre. Do not buy much pork when it can be grown" should be the motto of every farmer. Ar kansas buys too much pork when We can grow pork cheaper here than can the farmers of any of the northern states.

Listed as Place Where Fire In- surance Companies Pay Out More
 Than They Take In.

Arkansas is referred to as a sink hole for insuranre funds in a cur rent article on fire insurance that is being given considerable public ity in insurance circles. The Bear State bears the distinction. even tho not the honor. of being the state to head the list of states in the union, as the most unprotitable from the fire insurance underwriters stand points.
 The table referred to, which was compiled by underwriters actuaries from national records cover a per iod of five years. says the current issue of the Southern Construction News. of Little Rock.

Buy implements Now.

Some weeks ago the Extension Division of the Arkansas Agricul- tural College and U. s. Department of Agriculture urged the farmers to buy implements, as the prices would very likely be raised soon At that time there had been a gen. eral order for 10 per cent increase and since that time an additional increase in price has been ordered by the manufacturer and iobbers In all probabilities. there will be another increase in certain farm tools on or before the first of Jan uary and farmers who will need next spring. disk harrows, corn planters, blows and other such tools will probably save some money by buying now.

Loss Ratio

While Arkansas heads the list as to loss ratio its place as to rate charged by the companies is third. Ii is stated by insurance authorities that for the period mentioned, fire insurance companies operated at a loss in Arkansas and on top of that paid in losses more money than they collected in premiums. In other words they not only failed to break even and pay operating ex- penses out of their collections but they actually paid to the people of the state more than they collected
 Every property owner, especially, oueht to interest himself actively in fire prevention work in order to keep insurance rates from increas- ing if possible, as 1t is plain to see that the only funds from which losses can be paid by insurance companies come from the premiums collected.

Selecting Seed.

If every farmer will select three times as many bushels of seed as he will probably need for planting hang up these ears in a shed and then after a month or two remove the husks and sort again and put away for the winter. guarding against the weeVil. there will be ample seed supply for next spring
 Then ln February those ears should be sorted again. the tips and butts removed. the ears shelled and the corn graded. If i00 farmers in zach county can be found who will undertake this campaign for better seed corn, We can increase our yield iii 1917 over 30@s from the same acreage Remember that September is the month for selecting seed corn and remember that seed corn should always be selected from the stand ing stalks in September and not from the crib in March.
