ALARM THAT WAS NEEDLESS
Mothers of Soldier Boys Exercised Themselves Without Cause Over
 Subject of Food Supplies.

The days of waiting for the word to move around the Seventh regiment ar mory at New York were touched with the pathos and humor which accom- pany high-tensiOn times. On the eve of entraining when the mothers had begged and wheedled i'll vain for ad- mission at the front door of the armory, they Hooked to the Lexington avenue side. the back door. Here they surged at full tide.
 As q heavy truck backed up they sniffed the strong odor of coffee. The wagon was piled with sacks of it. One of the mothers turned a sorrowful face to her companion.
 .'What! Everyone of those bags full of coffee?" she asked. "Oh, dear! Cof- fee makes Alfred so nervous he can't sleep a wink"
 Then came an enormous bread wag- on following the coffee load into the dark armory. The smell of newly baked bread floated through the over wrought group.
 "All that fresh bread?" queried an other mother. "You mean warm bread, just out of the oven? We'll. I can see where Herbert is sick right away. If there is one thing he can't eat it is new bread"
 She borrowed q pencil. The mes sage on the card to be relayed to the soldier by the door guard read: Her bert, don't let me hear of your eating any of this warm, fresh bread. You know you will be H."

FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER
Farmer Must Decide for Himself Whether Practice Is Cheaper Than
 Letting Cows on Pasture.

Every farmer must decide for him. self whether it is cheaper or more profitable to feed silage during the summer or let the cows get most of their feed from the pastures. If you have land suitable for no other pur- pose than raising grass it would not pay to let it lie idle, but if your farm
 consists largely of tillable land the situation is quite different. It costs time and money to raise corn and put 1t in the 3ilo and feed it out, but on
 many farms it will pay to rely mainly on the summer silo for the dairy herd.

Cows require regular and careful attention. There Is work in keeping COWS and giving them proper attention. But they bring in regular returns in dairy products and cash and no farmer can afford to neglect cows.
 What would it mean to individual farmers and the country if every home had as many cows as it requires to supply the table with milk and butter? Perhaps none of US realize what it would mean. It would certainly give more cash from the animals and crops

piled. We have no drouths, hot
winds, or crop failures. The winters
are mild and the summers delightful.
Nature has been lavish in her favors
to Arkansas. Delightful climate and
fertile soil adapted to all the CROPS
known to the American farmer are
here for you. Remember, homeseeh-
ers and investors are awakening 20
the wonderful resources of Arkansas,
and the day of cheap land will soon
be a thing of the past. You know
what has happened to other cheap

SWEET POTATOES OFFER 4 GOLD
EN OPPORTUNITY IN ARKANSAS

Mr.. J. G. Nordin holds record of
raising LAO bushels of sweet pOta
toes on two acres of ground. Sample
potatoes in the agricultural display
at the State Capital, Little Rock.
cess in farming should be of interest
to every boy and renter, not only of
the North, but of the South as we'll.
A few years ago Mr.. Nordin was
working for wages on an Arkansas
farm. Taking a great interest in his
farm work, and observing the profit,
made by his employer on a small po-
tato patch, recognized the great pos
sibility of growing sweet potatoes on
a large scale for market. and made
up his mind to acquire land of his
own and accordingly bought 40 acres
of land, going in debt for the same.
The 40 acres he purchased had only
six acres cleared for cultivation. In
1906 he began raising sweet pota-
toes in a commercial way. planting
six acres. From the six acres planted
in 1906 he has gradually increased
his acreage of 81 acres. Mr.. Nordin
applies business methods in both
raising and marketing his potatoes,
and therefore tells to a penny just
how much money he is making to the
acre on his crop. His expense ac-
count for, the 50 acres of potatoes
which includes salary for his own
work. is as follows:
Cultivation-Work with team, $3.50:
labor, $3S5.05; pump and accessories,
ST..
Rent-32 acres at $500 per acre,
1915; 20 acres at Sc per acre. 1920.
Cost of Digging-Labor, $4i2.62;
teams, $155.56.
Total expense, $1,634.33.
For the above expenditure he had
stored in his potato house, 1850
bushels of potatoes, worth on the
wholesale market at that time, $1.25
per bushel, or $4,000. Deducting the
expense of all labor, including his
own work and rent for his land, he
has net profit off of 50 acres OF
ground, of $7,Se5.67; assuming that
