TIE PASTURE Is
 4 BIG PROBLEM
Profitable Pastures the Rasls of the Economic Production of
 Livestock
(By L. ". Osborn. Arkansas Experi-
 ment Station. Fayetteville)


 ment Station. Fayetteville.)
 The basis for the economical pro duetien of livestock on any farm is found in the ability of the farmer to produce an abundance of cheap. palS- table and nutritious roughage during all seasons of the year. The South ern farmer by properly taking adyan- taze of different pasture combinations can do much to attain this end.
 Te1nporary pastures usually afford an abundance of grazing for short time only Cowpeas. late varieties of soy beans and velvet beans planted alone in the spring, or after small grain crop is removed. or between corn rows, or in combination with soEghums, produce a heavy yield Of forage which can be used for late summer and fall grazing. Spanish peanuts planted in about the same way afford big possibilities in pastur- ing hogs in late autumn when other pastures are getting short. Corn stalks left in the field after the corn is removed especially when peas or beans are present are always profitable pasture
 For late fall, winter or early spring pasture the fall seeded small grains are most satisfactory. Fall seeded an- nual legumes such as crimson clover, hairy yeteh, and bur clover can also be used to good advantage.
 Out short duration are cheaply obtained on good soils in limestone sections of north Arkansas. and especially on the rioh alluviaI soils in northeast Ar kansas by seeding red clover in early spring on winter wheat. The red clover comes on after the small grain is harvested, and frequently yields very we'll Lespedeza, seeded in the same way, on wheat or winter oats or with spring oats, in the place of red clover, will make good summer pasture on good lands in other parts of the state.
 The basis of any permanent pasture in any section should be the plant CT plants which grow most generally or freely in that section. For example, in the limestone soils in northern bor- der counties of the state, Kentucky Hue Grass hourishes and can be made a constituent in every pasture combination in that section. Bermu- da, on the other hand, will do well In hot weather and stands drouth we'll At the same time it is adapted to all most all soils. These reasons make Bermuda desirable basis for pas ture in all parts of the state. Les pedeza is suitable for the same con ditions as Bermuda. and the two do very well together White or Dutch clover Is persistent wherever grown, and Is entitled to a place In pasture mixtures

UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVE
FOR WESTERN coLoRADo

Colorado is such large state that
the State University has adopted the
plan of establishing a number of dis
tricts in making its advantages avail.
able to all the people. Western Colo.
rado constitutes one of these distress,
and the university extension division
has designated Mr.. C. C. Jenxen to at
as its representative for our part Of
the state. M Janzen's educational
training has been at the University uf
Kansas and the University of Chicago,
particularly in the subjects Of sociology
and education. He will make his head.
quarters at Grand Junction, and from
there will periodically visit towns IN
the Grand river valley and the Gunni.
son river valley, cooperating with the
welfare agencies in these towns in
such ways as they may deem helpful.
His services will be available for con.
Quoting classes in sociology and edu.
cation among public school teachers
and other groups interested in these
subjects. He has made a special study
OF community life, and in some cities
groups of people may wish to join with
him in studying the activities and in.
stitutions of their own communities,
Everywhere in these days, towns and
cities are taking stock of themselves
along lines Of public health, education,
community recreation, and kindred sub.
Jects. Mr.. Janzen will be pleased to
correspond with individuals or groups
with a view to rendering any service
he can, looking toward fuller commup
ity knowledge or community better

Junction.
While Mr.. Janzen is a new repre-

in operation for some time. The west.

Denver to Escape Frost.

The frosty tang to the atmosphere
yesterday morning does not augur an
early winter. On the contrary, frost
of the killing variety is expected to
arrive rather late this season.
That is the encouragement held out
by F. H. Brandenburg, federal fore
caster for Denver and vicinity. He
stated that Sunday nights breath from
the Arctic was merely stray watt
from cold wave that swept over low
er Canada northern Montana and tire
Dakotas and now is speeding eastward
toward tie Great Lakes
"There is no positive assurance that
Denver and vicinity will not receive
a visit from cold wave within the
next few weeks, but the chances that
it will are not favorable,'' said Fore
caster Brandenburg yesterday. "These
cold waves usually repeat themselves
and the second follows the course Of
its predecessor. That means the one
due within the next ten days will not
get this far south. This merely is its
probable course; there is a possibility
of course, that it will reach this far
but it is remote possibility
The first killing frost is not expec-
ted to visit this region before about
the middle of October If this fore.
cast is correct, it means thousands of
dollars to Colorado prospe~>-. The
spring was from two to three weeks
late and that period of time must be
made up at the autumn end of the
growing season.

In motor accident on the danger
Gus Hayes hill, just the other side of
Red Stone, Wednesday afternoon at
p O'Clock, Henry Mertens and Mrs.
Frank P. Frost were seriously hurt.
Mr.. Mertens, who is well known
merchant of the marble town, sustained
a broken ankle and injuries to his
chest. He also suffered intensely from
shock. Mrs. Frost had three broken
ribs, breast bone was crushed and she
suffered numerous bad bruises.
The car also contained Frank P.
Frost, the driver, and Walter J.. Has
ley of Rifle, both of whom escaped
with minor bruises. The injured were
brought to Glenwood as soon as pos
sible and placed in the sanitarium un-
der the care of DR.. Stewart and DR..
Horan.
The motor was bound for Marble
from Glenwood Springs and had
reached the treacherous Hayes hill with
out incident, when, upon driving mp
one of the lower pitches Of the hill the
engine suddenly quit. The car was in
what is called second gear at the time.
This gear did not hold it from running
backwards, and neither would either of
the brakes. The foot brake was first
tried and then the emergency was shot
on, but the car continued to run back
wards down the hill, gathering greater
speed all the time. The driver, Mr..
Frost, believes the driving shaft of the
car suddenly snapped which would ex
1 plain the failure of the second gear to
hold the ear from travelling backwards
even had the brakes failed.
Mr.. Frost, who has driven that road
many hundreds of times without acci
dent before, tried to keep the ear in
the road as it ran backward, but n
curve in the road could not be seen
from the front of the car and it drop
ped over the side of the cliff, immed

korni|oH Uprising is Sup
pressed and New Reign
Of Discipline in Sight
WILL GRANT REFORMS

Washington, Sept. 1S-News Of pre-
mier Kerensky's determination to in
still better discipline into Russia $
armies created almost as much gratifi-
cation here today as reports that Gen
eral ,Korniloff's revolt was failing and
civil war was averted.
If Kerensky succeeds in his dis
ciplinary program, Korniloff's attempt
ed coup will have borne good fruit IN
the opinion of officials and diplomats.
Such an accomplishment might go far
toward infusing spirit of cooperation
into the civil population on whose in
dustrial support the war SO largely de
pends.
Kerensky's plan is believed to be to
restore discipline by making it plain
that military commanders shall have
full authority to dictate military move
ments; by roofing out the persistent
interference Of soldiers committees
with commanders orders; and by re.
tanning the present system Of govern
ment civil commissioners at the front
to advise men in the ranks and pro-
vide a certain check on i'll treatment
Of soldiers.
By this arrangement, the death pen.
atty to violation Of orders might con.
tinue to be imposed subject to limited
review by the civil commissioners. Tie

probably would be satisfied by assnr.
ancs that the commissioners would pre-
