GETTING READY

Why not consider prepared ness for the summer campaign on the farm? The farmer must fight poor soil. drouth. insects. excessive rains. plant diseases, animal diseases, family sickness and possibly other troubles. Why not anticipate and prepare for these battles? The Arkan- sas Agricultural College would urge every farmer to get out the manure, spread it evenly, blow early, and if early, blow deep, harrow quickly, clean up the trash where insects are hidden, clean out the ditches and prepare for the quick pass age of flood water, select good farm and garden seeds, get the work animals in good condition, get the tools fixed up and shares and shovels sharpened, bolts and nuts replaced. It will pay every farmer to follow the example of the Germans in pre- paredness. Let February be the month for preparing,

SWAT THE SCRUBS

Arkansas has wonderful natur- al advantages for the growing of good live stock, but we have too many scrub bulls, boars and stallions. They are being leals- lated out of other states and they are being shipped into Arkansas. T h Q progressive farmers should organize them selves into Pure-hred Sire Clubs, buy good sires and use no other. Let four or more farmers iu any community organize and the Extension Division of the Col lege of Agriculture will. help them find such sires as they need. ]. H. Mcleod, Old State House. Little Rock, Animal Hu5- bandry Specialist in the state and government Extension Ser vice, has lists of breeders of pure-bred bulls from both below and above the quarantine line. He and MT. II. K Sanders, same address, have lists of breeders of pure bred hogs and Mir. Mcleod will also advise, f desired, relative to the purchase of pure-bred draft stations, direct from breeders and not thru tra yelling promoters Ark ansas farmers should grow lheir own brood mares and their own mules.

PLAY SAFE ON SEED

How about the seed corn? How about the clover? How about the beans and cowpeas, peanuts and garden seed? These are questions for every good farmer to ask himself right now. Select g double supply of good ears of corn for seed, cut tips and butts and then shell when outdoor work cant be done and grade out the small arains and be ready. Then look m the cotton seed and test for Qetmination, It will pay. Ask your county demonstration agent OF 1om school teacher to help, but test Then look up the garden seed supply you saved or shauld have saved last fall. Co operate with your neighbors and buy seeds in the bulk, if you must buy, and don't buy the little packets. Don't forget to see about your supply of cow peas. SOY beans, peanuts, rape, the clovers. sorghums, and even the watermelon, pumpkin and eanteloupe seed A medal should be given to every farmer Wha can on the first day of March delcare that he has on his place and all ready for planting very ounce of seed to be used turing the spring and summer. That will be one kind of pre- naredness and 1t will mean success next October.

RIVER FALLING

The Arkansas river reached its crest here yesterday and was on a standstill almost all day and fell F inches last night.
 The small creeks around Ozark are very high and people living north and east of here have been unable to get to town.
 The river has backed into the bottom just east of town be tween Gar Creek and the Pies Harris place three feet deep. practically blocking that road, the travel going around and coming into town on the camp ground road.
 The Mclaughlin trial was post poned on account of high water in White Oak creek and the bad condition of the roads.
 It is reported that the upper Mulberry creek has not reached as high stage as was expected and no unusual difficulty has been experienced in crossing it.
 The levees at Newport. Ark. broke yesterday at 3 o'clock. flooding the city and a large section of country around it.
 Several companies of the Ark anSaS National Guards have been sent to the flood districts in Ashley and Cross counties. Captain Edwards of the local comraHv received q telegram last night ordering him to pre- pa." tho loca co apany for ser vice in the flooa districts in case they should res q them.

PROSPECT FOR OIL DEVIL
 OPMENT

The fact that the Clear Creek Oil and Gas Co.,, of Alma, is talk ing leases near Ozark with the intention of drilling on them at an early date. makes the pro- gress of the operations about Alma of more than ordinary in- terest to the people of Franklin county. The operators Tn Crawford county are all looking towards Franklin county as the next field to be developed and some are inclined to believe that the oil sands lie east of Alma instead of South, where the most of the developments are at present being made.
 There are at present thirty one wells under contract to be drilled near Alma, and more will he contracted within a few weeks. There are seven der ricks in the Alma field and sev- eral other strings of tools are being started from other fields or from the factories to be used on leases on which no derricks have yet been built The re- newcd activity in the Oklahoma fields caused by the rapid ad- vance in crude oil has delayed developments in the Alma fields. Every available drill and every expert derrick builder or driler has been put to work in Oklaho- ma, and 1t has been necessary for operators at Alma to buy new machinery or delay operations. ! The Clear Creek people found mo trouble in securing rig build CTS and drlIlers to drill their first well, but when they at tempted to hire the same rig builders last month they found they had been hired for year at twelve dollars per day.
 If the companies operating in CraW Wford county can secure men and tools to carry out their pres ent contracts they will imme- diatly come to Franklin county and begin developments. Our local men here are seeking drill CTS. but have found it impossible so far to find a rig not busy with contracts far ahead. It looks like we are sure to get developments here. tho not be- fore spring or summer.

This is due t. the scarcity of dye materials ano is what we are all coming to in the near future. tolered print paper used in the average shop for bill work. etc., is get ting scarcer every day and il k only d question of time when it cannot be obtained at all. The colors at present are decidedly dim and it looks as tho he printer was cutting down on eX- penses and getting an inferior grade Of paper.

The baby was born only a week ago,
and the mother is very sick. The fa-

winter. The children need shoes and
stockings, and bedding is needed for
the mother, whose circumstances are

Golf Balls.

History tells us that at first golf balls
were nothing but round or nearly
round pebbles about the size of the
sphere used at present. These were
supplanted by the hand cut wooden
balls and then in turn by the feather
ball. Then came the gutta percha bali.
OF which an interesting story is told.
1t is said a caddie in Scotland picked
up discarded football shoe with n
gutta percha sole and tore off the sole.
This he soaked in water until it was
soft and then nodded it with his hands
