sc HEAD PURE-BRED
STOCK TO Hampstead

The farmers of Hampstead county
have awakened to the possibilities of
the live stock business in Arkansas
and because Of the many inquiries re-
ceived by J. A. Presson, county agent,
the officers Of the Hampstead Coun-
ty Union fair which will be held Oct.
"a to %, have arranged with the
breeders Of shorthorn cattle below the
quarantine line to send in 80 head of
pure bred bulls and heifers to be sold
at auction during the fair.
"The interest in pure bred cattle
which has stirred Hampstead county
farmers in the last few months, is the
result Of the educational work fostered
by bankers and business man and car.
ried on by members of the agricultural
extension division in a series of meet
ings for permanent pastures in live
stock. This is one of the results Of
the legume campaign put on by all the
agriculturalists of the state, to be ex

Lee Giles, director-general of the

Here with a yearly average rainfall
of 40 to So inches, permanent pastures

for twelve months in the year.

than three cents pound, and the
Bermuda pastures of Southeast Ar

Pastures.
permanent pastures on the uplanQS

green feed for cattle and hogs the
year around by using Bermuda grass
as a base mixed with white clover,
lespedeza and bur clover White
clover increases the feeding value OF
the pasture during early summer, les
pedeza adds materially to it's value
during late summer and bur clover
furnishes the winter crop for pastur-

Bottom Lands.


The bottom lands OF Southeast Ar
kansas will give greater suppl. Of
feed to the acre than the uplands, but
the grasses used on the uplands are
used on the bottom land: also. Here,
too, Bermuda grass supplemented by
bur clover lespedeza and white clo-
yer give the best results.
Hay Crops.
Alfalfa grows luxuriantly on these
bottom lands. Bermuda and lespe-
deza also furnish excellent hay crops.
Grain.
Wheat, corn and oats are the chief
grain crops grown in this section and
the yields will compare most favor
ably with anything found in the
northern states.
Ensilage.
Corn and an unlimited supply of
sorghum can be used for ensllage
while Sudan grass furnishes an eX-
cellent rough forage crop.
Hog pastures for hogs only can
also be made to furnish these animals
with green feed for the whole year.
These pastures can be developed by
using soy beans and peanuts for fall.
oats and rape for late fall and winter
and oats and bur clover for winter
feed A second crop of rape for early
spring followed by early COW peas,
soy beans and sorghum for summer
pastures completes the circle. On the
lighter sandy loan soils chufas will
furnish mid-winter pastures.
On the wetter portions of the bot
tom lands rep top and alsike clover
give an abundance of feed for livestock,
while there is no limit to the forage
production of these lands.
Great drainage projects are now I'M

Five hundred and thirty-seven dol
lars gross revenue from one acre in
enc year is quite nice return, ISM,
it? Especially when that acre cost
little and the expense of production
was light. That's the amount J. H.
Cash derived from an acre of his
farm. He produced on this acre in
one year 259 bushels Of onions, 40
bushels of corn, so bushels of peanuts.
400 bushels of fodder and slower, and
two tons of peanut hay.
The products brought him $537, and
he later sowed the land TO turnips
and wheat, pasturing COW and two
colts on the wheat.

WEEyIL A BLESSING?

The cotton boil weevil, about which
much has been. said and written
has not been altogether an unmit-
igated nuisance. BY compelling the
one-crop cotton farmer to plant other
crops, the weevil has, to some extent,
contributed to the success of the
movement for the diyersifcation of
crops. There are, many farmers who
believe that eventually it will be
proved the weevil was a blessing in

CHILD ATTACKED BY HOGS


The little three-year old daughter
Of Martin G. Kieninger, who lives a
short distance west of Pocahontas was
seriously and dangerously injured by
being attacked by hogs last Monday.
She had not been out of sight of her
mother more than ten minutes when
an elder sister, five years old, gave the
alarm Of the accident. They had wan
dered away from the house short
distance to where two hogs were kept,
and it is thought that she had climb
ed upon the fence enclosing them, and
had fallen over. She was torn and
bruised in fourteen different places on
her body, three of which were gashes
that had to be sewed up by phvsi-
clan, DIR. Blaylock, who was called.
Her conditions at last reports was
critical.-Jackson Cash Book.
