Poker Chip Material Found.

IL has been several years since open gambling was allowed in Texas and other parts of the Southwest. Even poker-playing Is becoming an almost lost art As an evidence of the fall ing off in this one-time great national game, it may be stated that few peo- pie realize that there now exists an unprecedented shortage of poker chips, due to the war across the seas.
 The knowledge of this threatened crisis has caused worldwide search to be made for the mineral known as harite, which enters largely into the manufacture of poker chips. In the days before the foreign war barite came chiefly from Austria.
 It Is well known to mineralogists that the Llano region of Texas con tains many rare and little-known met als. This fact caused search for barite to be instituted. with the result that large deposit of the metal has just been discovered in that district.
 The poker chip supply will soon he replenished from this new source of raw material.
 Barte is also used in the enameling of iron and steel, the manufacture of paints, the coating of linGleums and oilcloths and the adulteration of sugar.

Purchase Fertilizers Early.

The high prices of farm products and the growing need of food ev- esywhefe indicate that farmers will use an increased amount of fertilizers this spring. About 3OO.- 900 railroad cars are needed to transfer the usual spring ship ments, it is said, but as there is an acute shortage of cars this year farmers are urged to buy their fer tilizers at an earlier date than usual ln order to insure their delivery on time. By cooperating the rail- roads and farmers both can be benefited; the farmers can do their hauling at a more convenient time and the railroads can use their cars to make several deliveries before the need of spring fertilizers il passed.

When the weather is fair and the ground dry, land should be broken . for the crops of the coming year, but it may be that not more than one-third of the time in January and Februay is available for this work. During the time when the fields are too wet to blow or when the ground is frozen. farmers can utilize their time in cutting wood and clearing land. Their wood for fuel can be prepared at this time

PROFITABLE FARMING CAMPAIGN
Notable Speakers and Experts Will be in Union County on Wednesday,
 January Y, 1917.

On Wednesday, January 17th there will be four teams of two ex. perts each deliver eight profitable farming lectures in Union count, and it is hoped that at each ap- pointment they will be greeted witt large crowds.
 The schedule will be as follows Mt. Holly, Junction City, Strong and Fl Dorado at 10 o'clock thai morning and Huttig, Caledonia Three Greeks and Shuler at 2:5C o'clock that afternoon. It was on- ly possible to secure these men for one day and the eight appoint ments have been distributed te make it possible for every farmer in the county to be able to attend one of them.
 These men are not going to tell you how to farm but what to plant and why and be capable of answer ing any questions that you may wish to ask.
 The profitable farming campaign is financed by the State Bankers Association and the Little Rock Board of Trade, they realing that what helps the farmer helps every body, so come out yourself and try and get your neighbor out also.
 Remember the two meetings for this end of the county are to be at Strong, Wednesday morning, Janu- ary lz. at 10 o'clock and that af- ternoon at 2:5O o'clock at Huttig The Huttig meeting will be in the high school auditorium and every one is asked to advertise the event as much as possible.

and, in addition, some can be cut and sold and the land cleared pre- paratory to making the crop for the coming year.
 The average farm in Arkansas contains a good deal of unimproyed land which could be brought under cultivation and this should be done IS a means of enlarging the farm business and increasing the farm income. There are many farms in the state of about 80 acres, on which are two able bodied men and yet only 50 acres of these farms Ire under cultivation, whereas double this area could be brought under cultivation and the farmers income increased greatly thereby 1t has been proven in this state, and in others. that farms which re- quire three or four horses to oper- ate them make more money than those which require only one or two horses and it would seem that clearing more land is one of the easiest ways to enlarge the farm business, to increase the farm in- come and to make the farm itself more valuable"

WIN YEAR AT SCHOOL.

That the various clubs for girls and boys of the state furnish them a means of earning large sums of money as we'll as a means of se- curing much valuable training and information is proven by the fact that ten girls and boys b. longing to the different clubs. with the re- ceipts from the products producted as club members, have been en- abled to attend an agricultural school one year says w. J. Jerni- gan, of the Extension Division of the University. It is the nature of a child to wish to excel in what he does and the prizes offered at different times prove an incentive for them to try to do their best and in doing this they are kept on the alert and thus gather not only a great deal of information along the special line of work being followed but on other lines pertaining to safe farming. There were 5000 girls and boys who belonged to the clubs in 1916 and l5,OOO members are wanted for 1917. Are you going to give your girl or boy the chance that will prove of lasting benefit to them? The girls of the state have the opportunity of joining the can hing or poultry clubs and the boys may join the corn, pig, peanut or cotton clubs. Anyone interested should write to the Extension Di- vision, old state house, Little Rock.

SEVERE WEATHER AIDS SOIL
Freezes Help PuIverize Broken Ground
and Cause Particles to crumble--
Check to Bugs.

There is considerable advantage in
severe freezes during winter. While
cold weather makes expenses some
what heavier unless the farmstead is
well arranged for comfort, both fol
man and ANIMALS, the soil is always
benefited by freezes.
Farmers readily recognize that after
hard freezes the soil is in better con-
dltion. Freezes help pulverlze broken
ground; they cause the particles to
crumble, vegetable matter to dlsinte-
crate and break down. There is also
considerable check to the increase of
insects. Many insects in the pupa
stage are killed by very cold weather
and this means less increase the fol-
lowing spring and summer. However.
there are some that stand very low
temperatures without injury.
The best way to get the full benefits
OF winter SHOWS and winter freezes is
to have the land broken.

Ten Billions in Coal.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, win
be tributary to the government rail
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
in this field is Ignite, and hence of
low grade, yet 1t has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south Of
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
a small way for the last ten years
This district is described in a report
entitled "The Bonnifield Region, Alas
ka" (bulletin 50D, which can be OBJ
tanned on application to the director Of
the geological survey, Washington.

CORK SHOES BEST FOR HORSE
Animals May Be Prevented From
Slipping on Ice and Slippery Pave
ments In Winter.

Draft horses should be equipped
with good cork shoes in cold weather,
according to David Gray, assistant In
animal husbandry In the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"The shoe should have heavy heel
and toe" said Mr.. Gray. 'This will
prevent the horse from falling and
will protect 1t from injury.
"The shoes should be examined
frequently to see If the eorks are ade-
quate to help the animal. When 1t
is necessary to shoe the horse with
heavy corks, special attention should
be given to setting the heed cork so
that there will be no Likelihood Of In
jury to the animal.
"A horse used for riding or driving
should not be shod heavily. Cars
should be taken that the eorks do not
protrude, for there is danger Of injury
when the horse is trotting."

PLAN CROP ROTATIONS.
Figures Given Suggest Evils Of
Single Crop System.
Little Time Spent In Carefully schcm.
ing Before Beginning Spring Work
viii Pay Big Returns--crops
to Select.

(By M. F. MILLER, Missouri College of
Agriculture)
The evils of the slngle-crop system
are suggested by figures secured by
the Missouri agricultural experiment
station. After seventeen years Of con-
tinuous cropping TO corn less than 10
bushels an acre were secured as com
pared with about fifty bushels on
ground that had been planted to corn,
wheat and clover in rotation; and
about fifty-four bushels on rotation
Of corn, oats, wheat, clover and two
years of timothy.
A little time spent in carefully plan
ming rotations before beginning the
spring work will pay bigger returns
than the same amount Of time spent
in the field.
A good crop rotation should include
(1) cultivated crop, such as corn;
(2) humus and nitrogen-adding crop
such as clover, cowpeas, or soy beans,
particularly If they are turned under,
and usually (3) small grain OF grass
crop.
Some Of these crops have roots only
near the surface and others draw their
food from greater depths, so that
crops in rotation do not wear out the
land as rapidly as single crop plant
ed year after year, but no rotation can
build up the solid fertility, or even
avoid wearing out the soil, unless the
products are fed ON the farm sud the
manure returned to the fields, or
legumes like clover, cowpeas or soy
beans are grown and perhaps turned
under to keep the nitrogen and or
ganic matter in the soil. In some cases
1t may be necessary to apply phos-
pilates, potash or lime.
Non-competing crops should be
chcseu instead OF crops that will COM
retA with one another for the farmers
taIrv so far as possible. For example,
ths hrst eating of alfalfa may de-
mand attention at the same time corn
should be plowed, while timothy and
clover, coming on later, win make less
competition. The additional yield of
alfalfa may more than overbalance
this difficulty, and many such consid-
erations must be balanced against one
another.
