Waste Places

On too many farms in Arkansas
there are ugly waste places that
could grow a great volume Of food
for family or feed for livestock.
These places are now overerown
with weeds and detract from the
selling value of the farm. Why
not plow these places now and SOW
to rye or wheat or oats or rape for
pasture for chickens or pigs or cows
or horses, Why not study to uti-
lie these waste places by moving
fences and throwing them into
fields or fencing them for patches
Of cowpeas, soybeans, rape etc. for
the pigs. The average farm of forty
acres In Arkansas could erow
enough feed on the waste places for
a COW and a dozen pigs.

spring as the prices are almost GER
tain to be advanced again in jan
uary. Then why don't farmers CO.
operate and buy farm tools togeth-
er. One disc harrow is enough for
two or three small farms. Where
two or three small farms adjoining
have level land it will pay to buy a
two-eang riding plow together. Even
where they are not to be owned to-
gether, it is a good idea for a neigh
borhood to agree on certain makes
of tools and buy together by the
carload. They can buy cheaper
and there is a big advantage when
it comes to getting repairs. Now
is a mighty good time to build that
machinery shed that will pay for
itself in four years. Farm machin-
cry left out doors depreciates at
least thirty per cent.

Good And Bad Investments

Thousands of Arkansas farmers
will be out of debt this fall with
money ahead for the first time in
their lives. Then what? Unfortun-
ately many families will be in such
need Of better clothes that much of
the surplus cotton money will have
to 60 for these purposes. 1t is hop
ed that every cotton farmer has al
ready opened bank account with
the proceeds of the first sale, paid
debts by checks and that he will
keep his surplus in the bank. But
what then with the surplusY What
are good Investments The good
investments may include pure bred
sows, better cows, calves when
there is enough feed, one or more
mares, if needed next spring, better
tools and farm machinery, if needed
next spring, rye for winter pasture,
and last but not least, land for the
renter and more land for the small
farmer, There are thousands Of
farmers on forty acres of land that
have ability to handle one hundred
sixty acres, Land is cheap in Ark
ansas and the men who have small
farms should consider this matter
of larger farms. Arkansas has
too many small farms and too
many large plantations. Thought
ful bankers and other business
men can we'll afford to look abou,
and help many progressive farm
ers into larger land ownership.

LITTLE HINTS FOR
BETTER FARMING
Prepared By j. H. Miller, Of
The Agricultural College
At Fayetteville.
Feed The Milk Cow

There is a little more interest in
dairying in Arkansas than hereto
fore, but we are hardly in the kin
derearten class. We are feeding too
many cattle ticks, but even above
the quarantine line there is not
enough dairying We need more
pure bred dairy bulls, Jersey, Hol-
ste;a or Guernsey, and more pure
bred cows. The farmer who wants
a general purpose COW should use
Shorthorn. But any COW must be
properly fed II she is to give much
milk. Does every farmer have rye
seeded for a winter pastureY 1t is
not too late now. Bran and cotton
seed meal should be a part of the
milk cows daily rations from now
until next April or May. 1t will
pay. She needs green stuff, rye,
clover or alfalfa or Bermuda or
orchard grass, all winter in addition
to other feeds. Take care of the
milk COW and she will take care Of
you. The small boys and girls Of
Arkansas need more good, clean
milk to drink. Every child below
fifteen should drink a pint of milk
a day. Let us encourage the use
Of more milk, encourage the produc.
ton of more milk and let us educate
for cleanliness
