The Best Varieties.
WHEAT,
A Successful Crop.

Winter wheat has been a very sue
cessful crop in all parts OF the state
the past season. The cool, moist
weather which prevailed during the
main period of growth of the crop
was ideal for wheat Wheat is well
adapted to better soils at least
throughout the northern half OF the
state. In southern sections Of the
state wheat has yielded we'll on the
more fertile river bottom soils for
the past three years, and did well on
uplands in 1916 and 1917 Experience
has shown that wheat ordinarily is
not well adapted to the sandy coastal
plain soils, nor to hill soils in general,
which are low in fertility,
Wheat On Every Farm For Flour.
The present food crisis makes it es-
sential that more wheat be grown
than ever before and on every Arkan-
sas farm at least few acres OF
wheat should be grown on the most
fertile land for home consumption. 1t
is essential that good seed and good
cultural treatment be given to insure
success.
Seed At the Right Time.
Wheat is best seeded about the
time of the first killing frost in order
to avoid danger of Hessian Fly. The
time of seeding will vary from Octo-
Der 10 in northwest Arkansas to No
vember IS in southern sections.
Seeding with a grain drill requires
less seed and usually results in a
more uniform stand. especially dur
ing dry seasons. Five or six pecks
per acre are required with drill.
Many Varieties Yield Well.
There are a large number of varie-
ties which yield well and are well
adapted to the state. Red May, Fultz.
Southern or Alabama Bluestem. Cur
rell's Prolific. and Purple Straw are
good smooth-headed varieties, and

rieties are offered for sale by seeds

In Order To Grow Such Crops It Is

BY L. w. Osborn, Assistant Agrono
mist. University of Arkansas.

An increased acreage of small
grains should be planted on all Ark
ansas farms this fall simply because
the world needs more food and is will
ing to pay we'll for it. However. in
order to grow such crops with safety
and profit il is important that eau
ton be observed relative to varieties
used and culture given. The adapta-
ton OF winter oats. wheat and rye for
varying conditions should be under
stood. and the proper cereal should be
chosen for the particular conditions

Work Being Done BY University OF Ar
kansas Experiment Station WORM
Money to the Farmers

The Experiment Station keeps
grinding steadily the year round turn
out out products worth while TO the
farmer. The products are in the ma
ture of facts tried and proven. They
contain information that helps the
farmer TO avoid costly mistakes ana
to do: better with the means at MS
command. Thousands of inquiries
from farmers are answered each
month by the Experiment Station
while there are thousands upon thou
sands of farmers who have no idea
of the work of the station and It's
value to them. If you are dtssatlsnea
with the results obtained on your
farm or need any information, write
to your university for help today.
Here are a few things mentioned,
merely as samples of the work being
done by the Experiment Station.
Hog Cholera Experiments.
Among a number of experiments
under way to learn more about hog
cholera, one is to learn what hold II
has upon sucking pigs. From expert
ments thus far worked out it seems
that SO per cent of pigs from immune
mothers are immune to hog cholera by
exposure as long as they are sucking
the mother. When injected with hog
cholera virus, that is, putting the dis
ease into their blood, the per cent
showing immunity was not quite as
high as by exposure. There was also
some variation in different filters, as
certain filters showed much higher
immunity than others. 1t is worth
while knowing that little pigs can be
protected in this way. but must be
made immune as soon as they are
weaned.
Soil Tests Interesting.
The Experiment Station has shown
for years that the soils in many parts
Of the state are in need of lime. IN
a careful study of samples taken dur.
ing the past year, in Prairie, Pope
and Washington counties, the upland
soils were nearly all found to be acid
This condition can be corrected only
by the use of lime The most econom-
ical form of lime to use IS crushed
limestone. at the rate of one or two
tons per acre, applied on land that is
TO be seeded to clover or alfalfa
The bottom land soils along the larger
streams do not appear to be greatly
in need of lime at the present time
The investigation is to be extended
to all parts of the state as soon as
funds are provided to continue the
work
Experiment With Seventy Varieties
of Potatoes.
An experiment with seventy yarie
ties of potatoes has been under way
for several years. The 1915 season
was rather moist, and the past a rath
er dry one. The size, shape, eyes and
general appearance of the tabers have
been studied. Yields of marketable
potatoes and culls per acre, at differ
ent dates during the season, have beer
secured. These yields at different pc

the wound with common white lead

has been added one teaspoonful of BIZ
chloride of mercury dissolved in tur-
pentine (about one ouncel. Paint all
canker and pruning wounds as soon as
made.
Begin at the top and prune the tree
to secure low, broad-spreading
branching system, with open center, to
admit sunlight and air from above. Do
not remove strong lower limbs if they
can be given sufficient light from above.
Aim to secure bearing branches
throughout the main body of the tree.
If the tree is shaded by toe much
growth at the top, the inner and lower
twigs will weaken and die instead of
bearing fruit.
Cut back the strong, upward-grow-
ing central limbs to outward-grOwing
side branches. This induces the tree
to spread laterally instead of growing
too high. 1t admits light through the
center to fruiting branches below. If
limbs cross each other or crowd badly,
thin them out enough to admit filtered
sunlight to all parts of the tree.
In pruning cut limbs close, so as to
leave no stub or knot. A protruding
knot will not heal. A wound cut close
will allow the growing layer to close
over the wound.
Paint all wounds over one-half inch
In diameter with the disinfecting paint.

OATS.
Adapted To a Wide Range OF Soils.

Adapted To a Wide Range of Soils.
Ordinarily for grain production the
winter eat crop is better adapted over
a wider range of soil conditions than
wheat. While II is true that winter
killing of fall-seeded oats was com
mon in many fields over the state, es-
pecially in the northern half, the past
season. the fact remains that individ-
ual farmers in different sections es-
capped with low percentage of Win
ter killing. In many instances the
severe winterkilling of the crop has
been due to late seeding and to poor
preparation Of seed bed
Seed Early.
Winter oats should be seeded early
enough in the fall TO permit plants to
make a good growth of basal foliage
before cold weather, but not so early
as to permit booting to occur. The
most safe date of seeding will vary
from September % in northwest Ark
ansas to about November 10 in south
ernmost sections II is not wise to
risk failure through delayed seeding.
Plant With a Grain Drill.
Seed should be planted with
grain drill since plants seeded in
furrow are better protected from win
ter killing than those seeded broad
cast on the surface. Winter Turf
Oats should be seeded at not less
than two and a one-half bushels per
acre. and the long-hulled strains Of
Red Rust Proof at not less than three
or three and one-half bushels per
acre. Broadcast seedlings should be
increased at least half bushel per
acre
a Good Seed Bed Essential.
Winter oats planted on we'll drain

better than oats planted on soils in
poor physical condition. A compact
seed bed is very important and land
should be broken considerably in adj

least carefully rolled before tho oats
are seeded.
The Best Varieties.
Winter Turf and Culberson varie-
ties of oats are most resistant to win

Cotton Variety rests Give Important
Results.
Cotton variety tests were made by
the Experiment Station in 1916 at fif.

tests served many purposes, but two
things are of much Importance.

produced by some varieties greatly
exceeded that of other varieties.
2. Such varieties as Dixie and Gov.
