MANY ORCHARDS
 hRE PROFITABLE
Thousands of Acres Almost Past Re. demnton-Trees Must Be Praned
 in Winter.

There are thousands of acres plant ed 10 orchards in Arkansas that are almost past redemption. and. if the trees are allowed to go through thls winter without better care than they have had in the past, few of them will ever bear another crop of fruit. The tune has come when we must either care for our orchards or go out of the orchard business, and, the sooner the time comes, the better il will be for the more prosperous crehardists over the state, says J. s. Knox, horti- culturist with the Extension Division Of the University of Arkansas and U. $. Department of Agriculture.
 There are several things which should be done during the winter, such as removing the borers from the trunks of trees, cnltivating, pruning and spraying for the control of the San Jose scale. The borers should he gotten out as carly as possible. since the longer they are left ill the tree the more damage tley do. The best and surest method 6f doing this is to throw the dirt from around the base Of the tree, then serape the bored portion until all soil is removed ana cut out and kill all worms found. AS soon as the worms are removed. or al least week or ten days thereafter, the soil should again be put back ana q, tree
 The orchard should be given good blowing during the dormant period This not only covers up the grasses and weeds, but it destroys millions of the spores of brown rot and scale. Deep blowing should not be attempted closer than four feet or gooa-sizee l trees. Harrows, however can be TUT much closer.
 In the orchards visited recently 1 have noticed that the branches broken down ny last summers crop of fruit are still hanging Of the trees. These should be cut out and burned at once since they are full of the larvae of bark beetles. All dead or badly dis eased branches should if possible be reno ed, then the branches which are thick or rubbing on each other should be thinned out. Pruning is especially desirable in young orchards because 1t is at this time that we give our trees the proper shape. In making tho cuts do not leave stub from one-half te six inches long, but cut them real close to the body of the tree Where the stubs are left the wounds. made in pruning very seldom heal over pro perly or readily and they may be the means of causing decay to set in on the tree at that point.

Bridge Over Elves Miles Long.

San Francisco is planning to build the greatest bridge in the world. It is to connect Oakland and its contigu- ous districts with San Francisco, and is to relieve five ferry systems of pas senger and vehicular traffic. The pro- posed bridge will cost S22.000000 and will be five and one-half miles long. It will be one of the heaviest bridges ever built, carrying three roadways and four railroad tracks. lis -main portion is to be made up of i6 spans, each 250 feet long. Near the san Francisco shore there will he two long and high spans under which the ships will pass.-Popular Science Monthly.

4 StOrY 30 Years GlG- Still True.

A friend of ours told US the other day about hearing Col. L. L. Polk the founder of The Progressive Farmer, make a speech thirty years ago. And he told one story have never forgotten" our friend said; He told about seeing a farmer with a wagonload of meat, hay and four about this time of the year.
 Col. Polk said to the farmer: Why are you buying all this meat, nay and fiour2'
 So can make cotton" was the reply.
 And why do you want to make :otton2'
 . So can pay for this meat, nay and flour the farmer an- 5Wered.
 And the pity of it is that after thirty years of agitation and eduoa- tion, there are still so many of our farmers guilty of the self evident folly which the story illustrates binding themselves to a sort of in dustrial bondage in order to pay freighte, middlemea's profits, etc, on products grown thousand miles from home but which should be grown at their own doors. Nor does the evil stop here, because this excess acreage in cotton (the part grown on land that should be devoted to food and feed crops) beats down the price of cotton on all the normal acreage as well.
 Whatever others may or may not do, MT. Farmer, you may see that folly is not perpetual on your farm. Let's look to that.-Ihe Progressive Farmer.

GARDEN WORK FOR JANUARY
High Prices Make the Plans Very
 Popular.

The high cost of food products at the present time makes 1t necessary for many men to make plans to supply his family table with fresh vegetables from lis own garden, says ]. $. Knox of the Extension Division of the Uni ment of Agriculture There is very little that can be done in January so far as real gardening is concerned. but the fence corners should be clean ed out thoroughly and all of the rub bish removed from the garden spot Pin preparation for the hrst planting. This will be the means of exposing many of the insect eggs and spores of different diseases which the cold weather will help destroy. The ground should be plowed we'll in order to in, prove the physical condition and to help in the control of insects. If ma. nure is available it should be broad cast over the soil and turned under at this time, unless the manure is al ready well rotted, in which case ii may be best to wait until early spring to apply
 Order the years supply of seed i'm mediately and, if possible, test them for germination before planting. Get out the old hotbed sashes and repair them for use later on. The latter part of this month such seed as onion, cab. bage and lettuce may be sown in the hotbed. This will enable us to have them for use earlier in the season. Don't forget to top-dress your aspara- gus and rhubarb beds with a heavy coating of stable manure There is little danger of over-fertilizing these plants, The old asparagus tops should be taken from the garden and burned.
 See that the garden implements are in good repair and ready for the sea son ns work. Get busy with the inoom-
 ing of the New Year and let's make 1917 the most prosperous year of our lives by growing our living at home.

COSY QUARTERS FOR THE HENS.

COSY QUARTERS FOR THE HENS.
 With every prospect of good price for eggs throughout the win ter, 1t would pay to give more at tention to the farm flock than eyer before, because it is well estab lished fact that comfortable hens lay the most eggs. Hens are not comfortable when exposed to the wind and rain during the wintei months. The farmer who expects the chickens to lay must provide good shelter and dry nests where the hens will be undisturbed. Cosy quarters will pay because the hens will lay more eggs and lay them where they can be found With fresh eggs at premium price 1t is great mistake to think that any place will do for the chickens to roost and the hens make their own nests.
 PROFITABLE FARMING CAMPAIGN
 Plans for a second profitable farming campaign which were launched at the Hotel Marion, Lit- tie Rock, on Dec. 5. are being pushed forward rapidly. The cam paign which will be conducted along similar lines to the famous campaign of 1914, will be carried on from Jan. 8 to 30. All agricul- tural interests in the state will take an active part.
 The University of Arkansas will furnish a large constingency to help carry on this work Martin Nelson, of the College of Agricul- ture with the faculty of agricultur- ,. al axparts -svhos-understano ~every phase of scientific farming. will be actively engaged, while members of the Extension Division. under ". c. Lassetter, acting director. and c. W. Watson, state agent. will throw their force of about l25 men into the field. This number includes the specialists connected with the Extension Division and the county agricultural agents In speaking of the work MT. Las setter said: We intend to help the business men as far as possible in this second profitable farming campaign. The agricultural forces of the state have been urging the farmers to plant enough food and feed for the family and for the livestock for the last two years and they will continue to do so. We will push the profitable farming idea just as strongly as we can but we need the help of the business men to make this campaign suc- cessful and make the work of the agriculture specialists most effee- tive. We need the business men to arrange for meetings, help get the farmers out and give the work boost in general. The business men can also help by showing the farmers that the only way to insure continued prosperity in the state will be to continue to live at hone and to raise at least all the feed and food stuffs that will be needed on the farms and plantations next year. Do not gamble in future, cotton prices, is advice given the farmers of the state by MT. Lassetter, who says that profitable farming can be carried only by ap- plying business principles and that good business demands that every farmer should be independent of the high price of food and feed products.

HOLLAND BRISTLES
WITH TALK OF WAR
Nation, Enraged Over Loss of
Ships, Ready to Take a
Very Different Role"

LONDON March 2t.-All dispatches
received from Holland within the last "a
hours emphasize the seriousness of the
situation resulting from the sinking Of
the Dutch liners Tubantia and Palembang
and the extent to which the Dutch people
are aroused.
Holland has suddenly changed from a
nation indirectly affected by the war to
one prepared and determined. II necessary,
TO take very different role says a dis
patch to the Chronicle from Amsterdam.
"A sudden seriousness has seized the
people.
THE Dutch people are aroused TO such
a pitch of resentment that no official Ger
man explanation or disavowal will COM
mand hearing" says n Daily Telegraph
dispatch from Rotterdam.
Dispatches point out that, whereas the
German denial of responsibility for the
loss of the Tubantia was based on the
declaration that the Tubantia was sunk
inside the 30-mle safety zone laid down
in the original "war-zone" decree of
year ago. as a matter of fact, the Tubantia
was at the very outer verge of this zone,
If not little outside.
In fact. II was off Noord Hinder Light
ship that the American steamship Gushing
was attacked by German aeroplane, and
probably as many steamships have been
torpedoed near that point as at any other
in the North Sea.

movement on the west bank of the
Meuse, the French War Office ad-
mitted this afternoon.
In a renewal of the heavy as
saults against the Abancourt-Mal-
