NEW CANADIAN
 WHEAT COMES IN
REMOVAL OF DUTY, A WAR MEAS uRE, SATELLITES FOOD PROB LEM AND HAS BEARING ON
 PRESENT PRICES.

Since April of this year wheat and wheat four have been imported in greatly increased quantities from Cam ada. This is atthibuted principally to the fact that on April 16 Canada re- moved the duty on wheat imported in. to that country, which action auto. matically admitted Canadian wheaE= free of duty into the United States under the provisions of the tariff law Of 1913.
 According 10 new statistics furnish- ed by the Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestice Commerce, of the Department of Commerce, S40,9S1 bushels of wheat were imported from Canada in Sep tember of this year, as compared with 3,269 GOT bushels for the whole nine months ended with September, 1916.
 For the nine months ended witt, September of this year, We imported wheat from Canada to the extent or 21,490,26 bushels, over 14.000. 000 bushels of which came in free after April 16 The imports of wheat flour during these nine months totaIed 4o3,- 270 barrels, of which 297, 7,695 barrels came in free of duty For tue corre- spending nine months in 1916 the to- tai imports were 1572s9 barrels and in 1915 only 90.499 barrels

STATION
 TO BE INSTALLED
PLANS BEING MADE TO OVER COME OBJECTIONS TO coNDl- HONS ARISING FROM THE
 CAMP SEWER.

The U s. Public Health Service is making plans to overcome the objec- tions that have been made to the Camp Pike sewer, the efauent from which runs into Five Mile Creek and Trammel Lake, This contemplates the establishment of sprinkler ftl- ter station near the Camp.
 Objection had been made by land owners in the section drained by Five Mile Creek to the odor of the run.off from Camp Pike, and q movement had been started to have the government do drainage work in the district.
 Beyond eliminating objectionable odors from the sewage and establish ing such a filtration plant as will ren- der the water safe for cattle to drink, the government can take no action, !" said Lieutenant Colonel c. c. Pierce, senior surgeon of the Health Service. Property owners in the district can greatly increase the value Of their land by establishing a drainage sys- tem, but the government cannot do this work. l hope that this work will be done, as a little work now can all most eliminate mosquitoes by spring, but it must be done by the land own ers."
 The filter basin is scheduled for completion on or about December %.

PURE-BRED STOCK
 BEING IMPORTED
MOVEMENT STARTED IN OTHER STATES TO SAVE HEiFER CALVES OF DAIRY HERDS
 FROM SLAUGHTER.

A serious question confronting the consumer, the dairyman and the far mer is that of the meat supply and all that the question involves. The high price of milk, and the threatened in creases, have been the source of a spirited controversy in Little Rock, in which the press, the Council of De- fense, the Dairymen's Association, and the Profitable Farming Bureau have taken part And neither side has con vinced the other. That the proposed in creases in the price of milk are not warranted is generally conceded by all except the dairymen. And in the meantime, the consumer, in the roe of the innocent bystander, is the one who suffers most
 In connection with the milk prob lem is that of saner conservation of food products. particularly breeding stock. Among the campaigns being conducted along this line is the saving of all heffer calves in dairy herds from slaughter. The Wisconsin dairy men are being urged not to send these calves to the .stockyards, but to hold them for distribution to neighboring farmers. But this is bringing about a condition among the Wisconsin farm CTS of which the Arkansas stockmen might well take advantage. The chair man of the Agricultural Committee of the State Council Of Defense of Wis consin writes the Arkansas Council as follows:
 The present very high price of feed and the high price of milk make the proposition of saving more heifer calves than they need for their own farms rather diseouraging to the dai- ryman. If we successfully carry ont our program, it will mean that next spring this state will be in a position to supply other states with thousands of dairy-bred heifer calves. Will the farmers and dairymen of your state be in need of any of this stock? If so, will you so organize through your state and county councils that car loads can be bought and shipped to the communities needing them? This could be done through the County Councils or the agricultural college field forces. Ordinarily, however, it is better where sufficient quantity of cattle or calves is wanted to have a representative of the purchaser pass on the stock before it is shipped. This state has shipped thousands of head of dairy cattle this year"
 Large numbers of the Wisconsin cattle have been brought to Arkansas to replenish our herds, and Texas is also furnishing large numbers of fine bred stock. Planters who have heretofore devoted their whole atten- ton 10 cotton, are shipping in great quantities of Texas cattle and are raising more feed for them. Necessi- ties of the war have vitalized the doc Urine of diversifcation which govern ment agents have for several years been installing into the minds of the Arkansas farmer.

Our soldier boys are brave and true, And our protection will be. We feel that we are always safe For they are on land and sea. Some are sad that they must leave Their dear old mothers true, But they hide their tears behind a
 smile,
 And wave the Red, White and
 Blue" They are here from many countries, And are as one big family: A bright and manly set of boys, As we could wish to see. So when you greet them with a. smile It helps to cheer their mind It makes them feel that all along Somewhere friend they'll find 6jppppu UgdysG-SCooTp DDD ay a Just think some day your boy may be In the place these boys now are, And would n't 1t do your heart some
 good,
 And be better, yes, by far, To know some mother would take his
 hand,
 And make him feel at home. If he should be in distant land, And to mother he couldn't come. So three cheers for our bright soldier
 boys
 Who are noble, brave and true; And give them all the cheer you can, For they will save the Red, White
 and Blue. We know that they deserve and need All the praise that can be given, For, when they get the "kaiser's"
 scalp,
 They'll receive reward in heaven

TO BE FIVE YEARS OF WAR.

Our government is preparing for five year war at the very least. Will it let me suggest that the first pre- paration be an ample supply of food? All are agreed that food is the first requisite. Then to secure that it is absolutely necessary that our means for producing it must be increased, sary to retain on the farm it's present supply of skilled labor and to furnish it with more and better machinery than ever before. In this direction it will be necessary to take at least one-half of the rich alluvial lands used the past year in cotton production and raise food on it. It will only take one-half the labor to raise grain on this land that it took to raise cotton
 To do this it will be. necessary to commence a clothing conservation at once by the government saying what should be worn All use of leather for purely ornamental effects should be prohibited. The material saved by the above suggestions could be used in making war material and the labor engaged in it where capable could be drafted into the army. Tn certain lines of business, the legal pro. fession, travelling salesmen and agents no man should be employed wl.s is subject to military duty. The age linn 1t, if necessary, in the cities should be changed to include those between 19 and 50, but there should be no change in the ages for farmers and not an- other farmer should be taken until there is accumulated an extra supply of food to last until the end of the war. Another great saving can be af- fected by sending the wheat planting machinery South after the Northern farmer has planted his wheat and us- ing all the harvesting machinery in the South and sending it north when the Southern grower is through with it. By careful scientific investigation along thiS line the government can find ways and means to save one fourth of what we have produced and double the future production of food.
 The production ofalcoholic drinks, to- baeco and many non-intoxicating hev- erages should be prohibited and the labor used in them devoted to ending years of observation of efforts to make farmers of city men has shown me that it takes eight years to make a farmer of a city man who can be made into a farmer, but only about 10 per cent of them will make farmers To make real farmer he must be born and reared on the farm and rais- ed up to the work. You can make soldiers out of the city men about as easy as out of the farmers, but you cannot make farmers out of the city man.
 The idea that the women can take the place of the men on the farm is a mistaken one because the women are now making full hands on the farms not only in Arkansas, but in all the Southern States, because before the U. s. entered the war nearly all the able bodied men of the country had entered the employment of the rail roads and other big industries.
