It is now semi officially an- nounced that the police committee has laid down, so to speak, and is to per init the citizens committee to name a gentleman named Jackson. of Con- neeticut. to captain the police force of New London. Mr. Jackson was until recently a member of the state police, a position he resigned to become as- sitant to State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull, who is not less than the second in command of the citizens commit tee, of which George s. Palmer is the recognized head. The police commit tee accepted invitation to meet the citizens committee, that is Messrs Palmer. and Hull and associates. in Mir. Palmer's parlor office. The aldermen E of the committee had been in the conference but a short while. when 3 point was reached to the effect, tl1a Police Lieutenant Jeffers, who has served the city faithfully for more than thirty years was not to be rec commended for promotion to the cap taincy. That cuieted the nerves of the citizens committee. and the pro posed public hearing that the citizens committee was to force the police committee to hold in relation to the promotion of Jeffers was thrown in the discard. The Palmer-Hul1 com bination won out. Then came the in formation that with MT.

DUTY OF BANKERS AND
BUSINESS MEN.

The first duty of every banker and
business man who owns land in Ar
kansas Is to at once arrange to SOW
his share Of wheat,
The bankers and business men in
every trade center should immediate
ly make the sowing of the needed
acreage of wheat a community mat
ter in their trade territory. They
should see that every man and woman
understands the need and reasons for
raising wheat or every farm, and
should induce every land owner ten
ant, share-cropper and farm manager
to SOW his share
The bankers and business men
should ascertain how many acres Of
wheat will be sown in their trade
territories. should find the necessary
seed-either at home or in some 9th
or part OF the state-and should ar
range to secure all seed that must
be purchased and sell 1t at cost.
Credit for seed and the implements
necessary to prepare the land and
seed II should be arranged for those
who need and deserve sucn credit. II
ths bankers and business men will do
theIr part, the farmers will do theirs
and Arksnsss will raise Its own wnea,

HARVESTING.

Wheat grown on large, level fields,
free from stumps, should be cut with
grain binder. Wheat on small
fields, side hills and stump land can
be cut with self-rake reaper and
bound by hand. Where a farmer has
only two to five acres, he can cut it
with a grain cradle and bind II Dy
hand, or IL cradle is too expensive,
he can cut with scythe ana STACK
without binding.
Bound wheat should be shocked
and stacked. Wheat wei! stacked i'm
proves in the stack sufficiently to IN
crease the price several cents a bush
Ell, Where there is more than rve
acres Of wheat it will pay to thrash
1t with a power thrasher. A farmer
with less than five acres can thrash
it in short time with an old-fashion,
ed fail. For home use, wheat may
be ground by any kind Of a grinder.
Many families are using bread made
from whole wheat -four, ana Ike IL

Il will pay. Congress has fixed the
price for wheat in 1918 at not less
than 81 a bushel. Wheat on good land
yields from Is to 40 bushels an acre,
azd can be followed the same season
by a paying second crop. The winter
pasture trom wheat usually pays for
the seed and seeding.
There is a shortage OF labor now,
and next year this shortage will be
acute. Wheat takes much less labor
per acre than cultivated crops. One
man and FIVE males with modern i'm
plements can prepare and seed 100
to $40 acres of wheat and do 1t well.
The total amount of man labor re-
Quired to raise a bushel Of wheat with
improved machinery is as minutes.
The Harrison times., 1917-09-22
HOW MUCH TO SOW.

Sow at least two acres for each
horse and mule you work. This
should be the rule for every one who
raises crops, from the one-mule farm
to the largest plantation In the state,
1t applies to land owners, tenants
and share-croppers. On the large
plantations the tenants and share
troopers can work together and have
all the wheat in one large field. It
means an average of $4,000 acres for
each county-a million acres for the
state, and the raising Of enough wheat
to fully supply home needs.
The Harrison times., 1917-09-22
SECOND CROPS.

Lespedeza may be sown broadcast
in March in fields of wheat. 1t needs
no covering. After the wheat is har-
vested it will cover the land and may
be pastured or cut for hay the same
season.
Wheat may be followed the same
season by June corn, 9O-day corn, cow
peas, velvet beans, soy beans and
Irish or sweet potatoes, making two
paying crops in one year from the
same land.

a harrow or cuttiyator Such prep
arstion win settle the soil and make it
firm and in condition TO hold mois-
ture like a sponge. The top two or
tbres inches will be loose and fine.
This hrm seed bed will make
close contact with the subsoil, and
moisture will be drawn steadily up to
the top Of the firm soil and held there
by the layer of fine, loose top dirt.
Sow the seed so that il will rest d.
rectly on the top Of the firm soil and
have the loose earth above IL. This
will place it where the moisture &C
cumulatss and is held and will insure
quick termination and strong early
growth
When wheat is sown on land that
is loose and mellow to a depth OF
four OF eight inches, the seed has
loose soil above and below 1t and the
loose ground does not bring up the
moisture stored below. Wheat under
such conditions sprouts uneyenly,
grows irresularly, and is likely to be
winter killed The conditions are
particularly bad when grass, weeds
or trash are turned under just before
seeding.
When it is necessary to plow late,
the land should be disked as soon as
plowed and the disk harrow followed
by corrugated roller or packer, BY
repeated workings alternately with
disk harrow and a corrugated roller,
freshly plowed land can be put in fair
condition for seeding wheat
Hundreds Of good Arkansas farm
ers are going to fail with wheat be-
cause they will SOW it this fall on
loose soil
The Harrison times., 1917-09-22
HOW TO SOW.

Sow five pecks an acre when seed
is drilled. eight pecks when sown
broadcast. Cover wheat one and one
half to three inches. Buy, borrow or
hire drill, if possible Seeding
with a drill takes less wheat, tne
wheat comes up quicker ana more
evenly, and usually suffers less from
winter killing. Use two-nOrse drills
for open field and One-horse drills be-
tween rows of corn and cotton.
Where grower is not going to SOW
enough wheat to justify the cost of
drill, he can buy one, SOW his own
wheat, and then rent the drill to his
neighbors.
When it is necessary to SOW wheat
broadcast, be careful to get it well Gov
cred to the proper depth. This is
seldom done, with the result or much
loss
The Harrison times., 1917-09-22
SEED BED FOR WHEAT.

Wheat needs firm, deep seed bed
with the upper three inches loose and
fine. The ideal seed bed is made by
blowing the land six to eight inches
deep so days before seeding, Each
days plowing should be narrowed be-
fore the team leaves the field at
night. As soon as the entire field Is
plowed, disk It thoroughly and follow
the disk harrow with smoothing
harrow. Work the land once a week
until seeding time with some kind OF

OUR COUNTRY NEEDS THE
WHEAT.

Our soldiers and our allies must
have bread from wheat to win the
war. The average requirement each
year for every man. woman and child
in the United States is half an acre
of wheat. Let Arkansas raise wheat
to supply her own needs, and what she
usually takes from the West and
Northwest can 80 to supply the needs
of our soldiers. The Iast 100000
bushels Of wheat is going to win the
war.

Grain handlers in North Dakota
and other spring wheat states are ar
ranging to food the cotton belt with
hard spring wheat for seed, using the
argument that Northern grown seed
is harder and yields more and that
hard wheat brings better price. Ar
kansas is soft wheat country, and Is

VARIETY.

The variety is not important. Any
early red, soft home grown wheat that
yielded well in 1917 is a good kind to
SOW. Late maturing varieties are
likely to be badly injured by rust.
while the early kind usually escapes
this damage. There is no difference
in hardness or yield between beard
ed and smooth varieties. but somo
growers prefer bearded and others
beardless Good varieties of bearded
wheat are Fulcaster, Klondlke and
Red Wonder. Good varieties Of
smooth or beardless wheat are Blue
Stem or Purple Straw, Red or Early
May, and Fultz.

Wheat makes one of the best win

PREPARATION OF THE
LAND.

The land should be prepared in
such a way as to produce the right
kind of seed bed. Each grower VIII
have to use his judgment as to how
this seed bed can be most cheaply
made under his conditions.
Land not in growing crops should
be plowed 80 to 60 days before seed
ing, the longer the time the better,
and prepared as recommended under
the heading, Seed Bed for Wheat"
When it is necessary to plow just
before seeding, plow shallow, not over
three inches in depth, and work the
land thoroughly before seeding with
the disk harrow or a cultivator and a
smoothing harrow II is well to use
a float between harrowings.
Grass and weeds are unusually bad
this season, and where heavy growth
must be turned under it will be nee
essary to pOw deep. Follow the plOW
with a disk harrow and the disk with
a packer Alternate these with a
smoothing harrow until the soil is so
thoroughly packed that there are no
air spaces around the trash that has
been turned under.
When wheat is to be sowed in corn
that is to be left standing, the land
between the rows should be made 5ne
and mellow to the depth or two 20
three inches with one-horse cultiya-
tor or 13-toothed harrow. The same
method can be used where cotton is
grown when the rows are wide apart,
or the cotton stalks are short. Where
corn is cut for fodder before the wheat
is seeded. the land should be made
mellow and fine to the depth Of two
to three inches with a disk harrow
followed by smoothing harrow,
Land in cowpeas, soy beans or pea
nuts should be dlsked and narrowed
after the crop has been removed and
! just before the wheat is sown, but
should not be plowed. Land in COW
peas where the vines are to be turned
under should be plowed. The plow
followed by the disk harrow and cor.
rugated roller or packer and worked
repeatedly by these implements until
the soil Is so firmly pressed around
the vines that have been turned undel
that there are no air spaces.
