GREAT DAMAGE
 BY THE STORMS
HAIL DESTROYS LARGE AREAS OF GROWING CROPS, AND COLD WEATHER HAS PROVEN
 DETRIMENTAL.

It has been most peculiar season. The protracted cool weather, ehe heavy rains of the last two weeks. accompanied by heavy winds and the most severe hail storms ever known in this section, have not been very beneficial to the growing crops.
 The hail storm in the southern part of the county Wednesday week ago wrought great havoc among gardens and the crops of corn, cotton and canteloupes, in many instances run. ing them; fruit trees were also stripped of their young fruit
 R. s. Parker, a farmer on R. F. D. No. 1, estimates the loss in the water melon district on the Arch street pike. E miles south of the city, was about $10,000 At least a dozen head of stock were killed, several barns and many fences were blown down and the home of Claude Sumland was blown from it's foundation. None of the members of the family was hurt however, because they ran out of the structure just before it was moved by the wind. MT Sumland and his wife clung to a small tree.
 Clyde Singleton, farmer, was en route home in his wagon. He was blown from the vehicle and an in- stant later a bolt of lightning struck he seat, ran along the tongue and killed one of the horses instantly.
 Barns at the homes of James Scar. borough and Arthur Criglow were blown down, and many large trees were twisted off at the ground.
 The heavy hall which accompanied he storm, caused the great damage Q the growing cantaloupes and wa. termelons. Many of the melons and 'nes were hacked to pieces by the large hailstones. The area of the storm was estimated to be two ol three miles wide and about six miles long. He said the storm came from in the direction of Germania, and went southeast.

HILL METHOD SELECTION OF SEED POTATOES
By M. c. Graham, Pulaski County Demonstrator.

Because of the fact that a large number of potato patches have be- come infected more or less with dis ease known as .Curly Leaf which disease is carried in the seed potato I believe that farmers in Pulaski coun' tv who have not already been praetic- ing seed selection of their potatoes would find it profitable to go through the potato patch before digging time and select healthy plants. This may be done by simply driving stake near the plant and digging this plant separately from the others.
 There is another disease somewhat similar to "Curly Leaf" known as Mo saie.p Both these diseases give ~AA rotate leaf rumpled appearance and in Mosaic. the leaf also has few small yellow spots on it. There is no known method of control in existence.

A great many people are asking me about prices of certain food products, such as peas, and from my informa- tion I believe that there will be good prices on all staple products. The far mer has been urged from every side to grow more food and feed crops and he has responded nobly. It is now up to the Government or someone 10 come to the farmers rescue and do away with the food spectators and believe that it is only a matter of time until minimum price will be fixed, below which products can not be sold. According to the Secretary of Agri- culture, "the object of a minimum price to the producer would be to stimulate production of certain staple products by assuring the farmers that they would not be disposed of below a certain level, which would give them a reasonable return"

Cotton men say the situation is un- preeedented, but the bulls are keep ing the market up on the belief that the new crop will be much below the average, and that with the United States in the war the.demand will in crease when the new crop begins to move.
 Receipts and shipments continue light. as usual this time of year, but of the 19000 bales stored in local warehouses, 10000 are sold to East ern mills. Embargoes by New Eng land railroads, however, prevents shipment. Men who own spot cotton are holding it with the belief that the price will go even higher this fall.

A great deal has been asked me about q successful method of growing fall potatoes. One method followed successfully by a truck farmer with years of experience, is to dig his DO tatoes, and keep them in a cool, dry place until planting time. Several days before planting, he takes his potatoes
 spreads them out on the floor or in the shade of a tree, covers them with old tow sacks or half routed straw and keeps them wet with water until they begin sprouting. After having thor oughly preparing his land, he goes out and lays his land off with a Georgia stock and bull tongue, or a small shov- el blow late in the afternoon and lets this furrow remain open until morn ing, when he plants his potatoes early before the furrow has dried out

food products Then too, it seems that unfayorable crop conditions exist all over the world. It is estimated that the wheat crop will be only 72 Der cent of last year and only 33 per cent of five year average. Corn. wheat and cotton prices have adyanc- ed by leaps and bounds. Corn and wheat have more than doubled, while cotton has increased less than two thirds. Cotton today on the Little Rock market is higher than it has been since the Civil War. There is every reason to believe that cotton will be a good price next fall, for the cotton crop is estimated to be 1,300,- GOO bales short of what 1t was last year. This is because the boil weevil area is greater than ever before. The spring has been unusually cold and backward. Much cotton has been plowed up and replanted, more than for number of years.
 Because of these conditions, cotton will likely be a good price.
 It is not too late yet to plant food crops, especially COW peas. Cow peas should be planted in all the corn, everywhere, for they provide not only good table food as we'll as hay for the horses, but have a distinct value for soil improvement purposes.
 Black-eyed peas as cash crop would probably be one of the best for this section. One of the wholesale merchants in Little Rock told me that the best future price for which he could contract black-eyed peas from California, which is the greatest source of supply for this product, was z 1-2e. and in all probability they will be selling at 10 cents a pound whole sale at harvest time. Then, too. our peas come on from a month to a month and half earlier than the California crop, upon which the whole saler largely depends
