Why Not Be Safe?

t will be the part of wisdom on the part of each and every farmer in Arkansas to play safe" this year and grow enough feed for all his stock and enough meat and vegeta- bles for his family for a whole year. Corn, Clover and Contentmentr and Pigs, Peas and Prosperity will be good slogans. If the European war continues we can market only about ten million bales of cotton and if farmers grow fifteen million bales of cotton they may expect to get about six cents for it, less than it cost to grow it. Plant a little more corn. larger patches of peas, soy beans and peanuts, and larger field of Sudan grass, and another acre of sorghum, and bigger garden, and get another COW or a few calves and Ia few more pigs and be safe, and then hold cotton until December or January. Why not?

Still Time For Bermuda.

Feed for the stock twelve months in the year, Bermuda pasture for summer and Bermuda hay for win ter, can be had on any farm. Why grow more cotton to buy hay when Bermuda grows so readily every where? Bermuda is the cheapest feed that can be grown. Bermuda is adapted to nearly all soils. It is hardy and very drought resistant But above all Bermuda grass is the richest in feeding value of any grass grown in the South. Its pro- tein content is higher than that of any grass known. Pasture the Ber- muda already on the place and get more started for hay. Start it dur ing April or May. Use pieces of sod planted in rows three feet apart or SOW six pounds of seed to the acre. Start Bermuda and then grow live stock on it.

Notwithstanding this talk about training, the word has repeatedly reached this side of the Atlantic that the Canadians are the best fighting men on the allies lines-Oklaho- man.
 Unintentionally, and, as we know, quite opposed to it's principles and beliefs, the Oklahoman is likely to do some harm in some minds by the above bit of transformation The Canadian troops are given months of training on their own soil and given months more on Salisbury Plain in England.
