SAVE EARLY POTATOES;
PLANT A FALL CROP

Save the early crop of Irish pota-
toes and grow fall crop or Arkan-
sas will face a serious shortage and
prohibitive prices. The experience of
the best farmers in the state tends
to prove that the spring crop can be
saved and that very good stand can
be secured for a fall crop by the
proper preparation of the seeded, by
the proper care Of potatoes to be
used, and by using only mature po-
tatoes for seed. Do not forget with
the present high price of potatoes
the shortage of acreage on account
of the cost of seed and the great de-
mand that will probably increase
rather than diminish. Every farmer
should provide for his own use and
be certain to have his own seed next
spring.

A COLUMN OF TYPE
$500 FEET HIGH

For the past few weeks we have
been compelled to neglect the news
features of The Journal to some ex-
tent because of the heavy demands
made upon the office force in the
printing of the journals of the House
and Senate of the recent session of
the legislature.
There are perhaps very few of
our readers who realize what a big
job this is for small office having
ony one linotype machine
The amount of typesetting that
must be done in order to complete
the job is equal to about 1900 col
umns of type the full length of the
Journal, which if placed in one col
umn, would make a column exceeding
$500 feet in length.
This involves an enormous amount
of labor, and means that the office
force must be kept hustling almost
day and night in order to handle this
big job and keep the paper going
But we are making good progress
on the job and it will be completed
in few more weeks and then We
will be able to devote more time
and attention to the paper

1t is thought practically every citi-

evade registration
Report from over the State indi-
cate that the number of men of mill
tary age registering Tuesday will ex-
coed advance estimates.
In some few sections reports come
that few negroes failed to regis

man here and there failed to comply
with the law, but there was no or

Sweet Potatoes Make
Valuable Food Crop

If the war continues for another
year the production of human food
crops will be a serious problem not
only in the South but throughout the
world. The Northwest has annually
been supplying the South with hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
food necessities to feed the peple of
the South. The enormous quantities
of food that the United States have
been shipping to Europe must con-
tinue, and hardships are inevitably
coming if the war continues six
months longer. There is no crop
grown in the South that will furnish
as much food value per acre or so
cheaply as the sweet potato. A
dollars worth of sweet potatoes as
human food has practically double
the food value of dollars worth of
wheat or corn. An acre of average
land in sweet potatoes will produce
more food than two acres of corn
and more than four acres of wheat.
Sweet potatoes may be planted as
late as July and yield twice as much
human food as corn on land of aver
age fertility It is the most import
ant crop that the South can now
grow and there remains all of June
and part of July in which this crop
may be planted.
The sweet potato has higher
food value than the Irish potato, and
it is now too late to plant the lat
ter with any assurance of success,
and there is practically no seed avail
able.
An Acre of land that will produce
Is or. 20 bushels of corn, will pro-
duce SO, and may produce 80 or 100
bushels of sweet potatoes depending
upon the good preparation and good
fertilizers. No corp will yield SO
much per acre of so high a food
value on so poor land as will this
highly nutritious crop.
Every family should grow some
sweet POTATOES.

THAT ARE 81 YEARS OLD

w. A. Studdar a farmer living
north of Mountain Home has an old
snare drum that was made in 1885.
1t went through the civil war and
numerous Indian battles. He was a
bugler during the war and also has
his old bugle. While he is past 70,
he can still blow the bugle calls as
clearly as he could when he was in
the army. He says that there is not
a day. passes but that he gives the
old horn a few toots every morn
ing before breakfast. No one would
have weak lungs, he says. if they
would practice little on the bugle

CHANCE TO SECURE
SECOND MAIL ROUTE
Present Route to be Changed June
16, Making Opportunity For Sc
curing Another Route

Postmaster o. F. Craig has been
notified by the postoffice department
at Washington that Rural Route No.
will be changed, effective June 16,
so as to avoid having to ford Dota
creek at the old Galloway place. The
route will leave the present route
near the residence of r. T. Magness
in Logan township and will go west
crossing Dota creek over the steel
bridge and following that road into
town instead of the road by the Gal
loway farm.
The change will cut off about six
families that are now served by the
present route but will add about
twelve new ones.
1t has been suggested that another
route can be secured out of Newark
covering this part of the old route,
thence into Paroquet and back into
town by the White school house.
Such a route would serve large
number of families and can be secur-
ed if the people will put the roads in
proper condition and ask the estab-
lishment of the route. The postmaster
has already taken the matter up with
Congressman Oldfield and Mr.. Old
field has promised to help secure the
route if the people want ii.
