THE SWEET POTATO
HOUSE PAYS


No man who grows any
considerable quantity of sweet
potatoes should attempt to
get along without a storage
house. An inexpensive house
large enough to take care of
the potatoes on the place will
more than pay for itself in
the potatoes it keeps from rot
ting. Thes house might very
well be made large enough to
care for the potatoes of the
tenant as we'll as those of the
landowner. 1t is an easy mat
ter to separate the bins. Ven

BREEDING STOCK

There probably will not be
any more opportune time for
buying breeding stock than
right now, is the opinion of j.
II. Mcleod, livestock special
ist of the University of Arkan-
sas. Mr.. Mcleod has assisted
county agents in organizing
farmers associations for the
purchase Of breeding stock
assisted purchasing commit
tees from these organizations
in buying several hundred
head of registered animals.
Other committees with orders
for several carloads Of breed
ing cattle are waiting now for
Assistance in buying. Bank
ers are lending money to reli-
able people for such purposes
at low rates and on long
terms. There is no reason
why other communities should
not take the same step and
get in breeding stock this fall
before fall prices rise. Some
people estimate that prices
will double before spring.
Consult your county agent,
advise with your county agent.

SOIL IMPROVEMENT
IMPORTANT MATTER
Most Soils Need Lime and
State Commissioner Will
Test on Request

Soil improvement is the
most important thing to the
farmer and landowner. We
all know that it takes as much
or more labor to cultivate poor
soil as it does rich, while the
poor soil makes poor crops
and keeps the farmers poor
and hardworked. 1t is the es-
sence of economy and good
business to keep building up
the soil.
| want to see all the farmers
well-to-do, their homes COM
Portable and happy and their
children educated. To bring
about this condition the soils
must be improved, Otherwise
the rich sol get poorer.
The easiest way to keep up
the soil is to put ground lime
stone on where needed, and
to plant more clovers, cow
peas, soybeans. velvet beans,
and alfalfa. Most of our soils
have enough potash if it were
available but in hard packed
or sour soil it is not. Put on
lime to sweeten and loosen
soil, and turn under all stalks,
weeds and grasses to add or
ganic matter.
Lime your land and turn
under a crop of clover, cow
peas or soybeans, and then If |
needs be. use ground bone, ac-
id phosphate or PHOSPHORUS |
in any form, and you Willhave |
a greatly improved sell and |
grow better crops. Most Of |
our soils iced lime, but not |
all. In order that the farm
ers may know if their soil |
needs lime and how much for |
the different crops, | have ar
ranged to make soil tests for |
the farmers.
If you want your soil tested J
to see how much lime you
need send me a sample. | will /
test it and let you know. The I
way to take a sample is to use
spade. Spade out one
spadeful and cast it aside.
Then shave off slice about /
an inch thick and about six
inches deep. Lay this out to
dry. Take samples this way
from several different parts Of
the field. When they are all
good and dry, pulverize them
and mix we'll. Then take out
about pound of the sample i
and send to me for the test. I
This will give you a good aV-
erage for your field | will
tell you if your soil needs
lime, and how much you need T
for the different crops.
Save all the manure this |
winter and spread it on the
land this spring.

Gives a Splendid Discourse on
Efficiency of the Railway
Business.

Speaking OF the Baltimore and
Ohio passenger service which he says
has received much criticism j. M.
Scott, superintendent of the Monon-
gah division, said in speech to the
division staff at Grafton: Personally
I think It might be good deal worse
and yet know 1t could be a good
deal better and I want all concerned
to make 1t part of their business
to wire me of any car found In pas
senger service on this division that
is not in first class shape"
The speech to the officials was said
to be zone of the most complete talks
on railroad efficiency that has ever
been heard on this part of the Bal
timore and Ohio system"
In his speech to the division stan
in the Hotel Willard, at Grafton, Mr..
Scott virtually outlined the work OF
the division. Among some Of his
valuable remarks were the follow
ing:
"The cleanliness Of our passenger
stations and the premises about them
should be given very careful atten-
tion. We want the floors and WIN
dows Of our passenger stations
