COAL IN ALABAMA IN 1915.

The demand for Alabama coal was
 very light during the first half of
 1915, and many mines were shut down. In August, however, marked
 activity began in all lines of indus
 try, and the general resumption of practically all the Alabama iron fur naces was a large factor in increas- Ing the production of coal for the
 year, though the total was less than In any other year since 1909. In or dlnary times Alabama supplies a large amount of coal for steamship
 bunkers at Pensacola, Mobile, Gulf port and New Orleans, but since the European war began there has been little call for coal for that purpose at those ports. The development of water power on large scale in Ala bama has also cut off the market for a large quantity of coal. The output in 1915, according to C. E. Lesher, of the United States Geological Survey, HNN''io III NOOPNle'tlOIl Nlli lilG E1ld- bama Geological Survey, was 14927,- 937 short tons, valued at $19,066, ,O43. This represents a decrease of 665, 5,4S5 tons, or i per cent, in quantity, and S1, ,7S3,S76, or per cent, in value, compared with 1914. During the early part of the year many of the Alabama Il
 CTS. contracted for the sale of their output at lower prices than previous ly, with the result that the average value for the year decreased from $1.34 per ton in 1914 to SIPS in 1915. The number of men employed de- creased from 24,042 in 1914 to p ,591 in 1915, and the average number of days worked per man from 226 to 223.

A STITCH IN TIME SAVES 25O,o0O

Estomologists estimate that one pair of boil weevils emerging early in the year may have before frost in the fall 250,000 descendants. Therefore, if the first few weevils to emerge are allowed to live they will soon produce enough young weevils to. destroy the squares as rapidly as they can be put on. Why not avoid this oy watching for the first weevils, picking up the
 first squares that fall, destroy chem and in this way prevent the rapid null tiplication of the weevils. WatcE all the time for the characteristic flare of the square. Get them now, pick them up quickly and destroy them. Every weevil caught now will mean at least 100000 fewer this fall and a better chance to make some August cottcn. Get him first or he's certain to get you. The Extension Division of the University and the Agricultural Department recommends: picking and burning squares and practicing con- sistent, shallow, late cultivation.

Then it won't take so much work to make your crop, and the yield will pay you we'll for your trouble. Some farmers depend more on the land than labor to make a crop and some depend more on their labor than on the land. Which makes the best crops? You know. To which class do you belong? If you are in the wrong class, change. Remember the story of the grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper sang and idled all summer while there was plenty and when the frost came and killed the grass he had nothing laid by and died. The ant was frugal. In time of plenty he worked and gathered for the win ter, and when frost came he had plenty. The farmer who would have plenty In winter must put the labor in hls crop necessary to make a full yield and when it will do most good.

INQUIRIES ABOUT ARKANSAS.

Literature is mailed from the State Agriculture Department at the State Capitol in Little Rock every day to persons who make inquiry about farm lands, the printed matter including a map of the State, bulletins on differ ent farm subjects and illustrated pamphlets furnished by local com mercial organizations, banks and pro- gressive real estate firms. A most useful publication used in this con- nection is the biennial report of the department which contoins d detailed description of each county. Some of the names this week are given below:
 Aaron L. Sander, a director in the Farmers Bank at Madison, Kan, says, "I would like to know where to find the best unimproved land in the rice district, land that could be cleared without too great cost and that is selling cheap"
 Another inquirer for rice lards was A. G. Miller of Commonwealth Utilities Company, St. Louis. He is especially interested in the country around Brinkley.

Bureau of Mines, Manufact and
 Agriculture.

So far the weather conditions have been good and the crop conditions are now fne-ive to ten per cent above the average but remember the old adage not to count the chickens be- fore they are matched The govern mer. reports for the last ten years show that crop conditions were better in the month of June seven years out of ten, and that the crop conditions got worse instead of better in every single instance. In nine of the ten years the crop condition was worse in July than June, in August and Sep tember there was still more falling off. This report has reference to cotton, but it also applies in a meas ure to corn and some of the other crops Of course, the wheat and oat crops are made, but much depends on the season in the corn, hay, truck and garden crops Just how many farm CTS are laying by their corn crops Most of them should have one or two more cultivations Cultivate shallow and lay by shallow. Don't ridge up the corn. If you have cultivated it properly it will stand up without a ridge and surely it will stand drouth better. The late cultivations pay best. When you raise a calf to be a yearl!ng you don't turn him out and expect him to make living for him Seit the balance of his life. Treat your corn crop like you would a year Ing. Don't turn it loose to take care Of itself and fight the weeds and grass and dry weather just at it's most inn portant stage is life, when it is just getting ready to make the grain.

CAN THE SURPLUS

All indications point to higher and higher prices for all food stuffs next winter. How foolish then for farmers to have to buy foodstutfs that they can grow, either vegetables or meat. There IS hardly thing now that cannot be canned, even sausage for summur or sweet potatoes for winter. Probably fifty thousand bushels of Arkansas peaches routed in the orchards last summer. Can the surplus this year. Farmers who do not have orchards will do well to buy seconds" from the orchard and do their own canning. Write for bulletins and suggestions on canning fruits and vegetables to Miss Emma Archer, Extension Divi- sion, University of Arkansas and U. IS. Dept of Agriculture, Old State House, Little Rock. In thirty counties in Arkansas the farm women have the good fortune to have home demonstration agents who are always ready to help. If tin cans are to be used, it might be we'll to buy now as lin all probability prices will go lp very soon
