MORE WINTER PASTURES.

The shortage of corn in most parts of Arkansas ought to make every farmer anxious to plant wheat, rye or cats for cover crops and for winter pasture. Let every patriotic man in Arkansas urge his neighbors to have enough winter pasture for all his stock and lots of green stuff to blow under next March. Rye may be seed ed for winter pasture from now on up to the first of November, in cotton and corn middles or in other fields. The extension division of the Univer- sity of Arkansas and United States department of agriculture is engaged with it's whole force of IA people in a campaign for clover and other win ter cover crops and is grateful for the assistance of the business organ izations of the state, the Arkansas Bankers association, the farm bu- reaus of the Memphis and Little Rock boards of commerce, the railroads and the many other patriotic agencies in the state.

URGES CATHOLICS
 JOIN CIVIC MOVES

New York, Aug. 22.-Bishop F.: J. Muldon of Rockford, H., addressing 200 women delegates to the convention of the American Federation of Catho- lie Societies today, urged that they join every state, county and city civic movement in their communities.
 Don't stand back and say, We Catholic women are not wanted and won't get a fair chance,'" he said. My own experience is that people of other beliefs not only are fair to us Catholics, but are most anxious for us to join with them in their work for the general good. It is only too true, I am sorry to say, that we Catholics have not done our part in social serv- ice work"
 Miss Helen Haney of Randolph, Mass, who presided at the woman's meeting, made similar plea.
 "Are we Catholic women going to sit quietly by," she said, "and allow the Young Women's Christian asso- citation to forever usurp the Christian name in association welfare? We must do work of even higher char acter, whatever the sacrifice, if Catholic womanhood is ever to in- terpret itself to the American mind and make manifest it's claims to superiority. Let us open our club houses and our league houses to our young girls"

About Shipping Corn.

Don't ship it, if there is enough stock in the county to eat it. From one neighborhood in Southeast Ar kansas three weeks ago there were shipped to Illinois 5000 bushels of corn and three carloads of pigs. What a mistake! Then, too, it will be necessary to ship into o'her parts of that county this year several thous- and bushels of corn and many car loads of meat. Let everybody who may anticipate extra corn plan for cribs to save it for December and January sale to his neighbors or to other parts of Arkansas. Farmers who will have corn to sell should in- form the county agent and he is cer- tain to know of men who will need to buy corn. Arkansas will not have enough corn this year to feed its own stock. The extension division of the University of Arkansas and the Unit ed States department of agriculture is anxious to keep Arkansas corn in Arkansas.

BETTER FARMING
 HINTS. :.
FARM PREPAREDNESS.

This rather new word is mighty good one for farmers to use. If the nation should prepare for war why should not the state, county, neigh borhood and individual farmer pre- pare for winter and for the future: Why not for the next thirty days, study ways of preparing? Prepare cribs for corn, sheds for cotton and bins for seed and sheds for hay and sheds for farm tools. Prepare for an abundance of feed for all stock. Most Arkansas COWS are starved. Re- member that COWS are machines TOT making butter fat or good meat TOT the market. The more feed, of the right kind, the more of the marketa- hle product. Plant turnips for table and for the COWS. Plant rape for the pigs. Sow rye for winter pasture for COWS and mules. Plant potatoes and dozen other vegetables for the table, Prepare!

About County Agents.

Fifty-one counties in Arkansas have invested in county agricultural agents and it is the best investment ever made by any county. The coun- ty agent pays for the investment in many ways. One agent reports the vaccination of 2,SO0 hogs in ten months; another has vaccinated enough horses and cattle for anthrax to pay his salary for twenty years; another, in addition to his other dut- ies, has conducted a campaign for screen doors and windows and has re- duced the cases of malaria; agents below the quarantine line have built several hundred yats and have super vised the dipping of thousands of cattle; in all the counties they are directing the campaign for clovers SPORTS .... ...

THE 'BDY-AT-HOME'
 MOVEMENT FINE, BUT--
Consumer Believes That Papers Should Receive More CO-Opera.
 ti0n From Local Merchants.

Little Rock, Aug. 22.-Speaking of the "buy-at-home" movement, a prominent visitor to Little Rock said:
 "It is fine thing in theory, and the city and country newspapers are doing everything they possibly can to foster it. It is pity that they are not receiving the cooperation they should from dealers and merchants, that is in the matter of prices. Take my case, for instance: Recently I had occasion to buy couple of electric fans. The price quoted in my home town was $11 more than the price quoted me in the open market at Tex arkana, and of course I did what any one else would have done, sent to Tex arkana for the fans. The sentiment involved in this question should be evenly distributed"

5000 TEXAS MEN ENLISTED
Trials of 116 National Guardsmen
Who Refused Not Yet Decided
by Secretary Baker.

Washington, May 24.-Official re-
ports yesterday said more than 5000
Texas National Guardsmen have been
mustered into the federal service. The
total strength of the Texas force was
1913 officers and 2,644 enlisted men
when it was called out, and additional
men have enlisted for the border pa
trolls.
Secretary Baker has not decided
what action shall be taken regarding
the 116 Texas guardsmen who de-
clined to enroll in the federal service.
Judge Advocate General Crowder has
submitted an opinion to General Scott,
chief of staff, outlining the war de-
partment's authority to court-martial
the recalcitrants. His only recommen-
dalton, however, was that if the court
martial were ordered a majority of
the members of each court be militia
officers, not regulars.
Final figures on the number of Tex
as guardsmen actually mustered into
the federal service were 1854, or an
increase of SAT men over the full
strength of the organization when il
was called out.
