Guard Against Potato
 Diseases

In the case of the northern. staple vegetables. such as pota toes, cabbage, and onions, of which the supply is short as the result of unfavorable climatic conditions in 1916 in the com mercially important producing districts, it is considered espec ially important to reduce the risk of waste due to the action of in sects and diseases during the growing period. With the potato, the seed stocks of which are low, every preeaution necessary to re duce the risk of disease damage, including the treatment of the seed potatoes for seab before planting and equipment for thor ough spraying while the crop is growing, should be taken.
 A widespread outbreak of late blight throughout the i'm portant potato-producing dis tricts (which, fortunately, rarely occurs except in restricted areas1 might diminish potato production at the rate of 3,000,- .000 bushels a day during August and Septem Der if prolonged warm and rainy weather should occur This disease can be pre- vented by spraying, and early preparation should be made to c mbat it vigorously.

 Sweet potato losses from black rot, and other diseases in the field result manly from fail ure to select and disinfect seed and topractice sanitation in the beds Bean losses from anthrac nose and other diseases can be prevented to a large extent by the use of diaease-free seed.

Community Dairying

What can be accomplished in dairy districts by community ac- tion is indicated in an article in the 1916 Yearbook of the United States Department of Agricul- ture. In this article the results of five years work in m Iowa community are discussed in de
 tail. During that period, it is said, the net profits to the pa
 irons ef small creamery were increased from S2,060 in 1911 to g, in 1915. For the fve-year period the total net profits were increased S32,169. Against this increase there is to be charged only the salary and expenses of the Government field man, amounting to S11,196. As re- suit. therefore, of the develop

keeping production records of each COW and of eliminating all animals that reacted to the tu- berculin test. The expense of raising calves were reduced by shifting them earlier from whole milk to skim milk. The milking was done under more sanitary conditions and the milk and cream treated with greater care. h this way the quality of the butter was improved and the better product brought better prices. With these better prices the farmers had more money with which to improve their bus mess. In thIs connection 1t is noteworthy that during the five year period covered by the arti- cle mentioned, the number Of si- los in the community was in creased from ' to 44.
 Tn conclusion, the article points out that, while the financial gain from the work is the easiest to measure, it was by no means the only, or even the most impor tant. part of the total results

State Sunday School Convention at Pine
 Bluff

The State Sunday School Con. vention meets in Pine Bluff, Apr. 24 2 26. All indications point 10 a great Convention. Those who have charge of the arrangements say this will undoubtedly be the greatest and largest attended Sunday School Convention ever held in Arkansas. An exception ally strong program has been ar. ranged upon which will appear some of Americas greatest Sur day School experts. The princi pal speaker of the Convention will be Mr. John L. Alexander of Chicago, representative of the International Sunday School As. soeiation. Besides Mr. Alexan- der there will be a number Of other specialists who will touch every phase Of the modern Sun day School Work. One of the features of the program will be the music in charge ot Mir. 4. E. Buss of S. Louis. Mo, accom- panied by Mrs. Frank L. James. MT. Buss uses the cornet in di- recting the Convention music. He is considered one of the best cornetists in the country.

No limit is placed upon the number Of dele gates a School may send but ev cry Sunday School in the State should send at least one delegate at the expense of the School.

Keep Enough Horses to Re place Worn Out Draft
 Stock

Thousand of horses and mules
 have been shipped from the Uni
 ted States to Europe during the
 war and they are still being ship ped in large numbers. Already the effect of the exportation of a large per cent of our draft stock has caused the prices to go up considerably. This means that as scou as the horses and mules in use on the farms in this coun- try are worn out and have to be replaced by others our people will find a great shortage of this class of livestock; consequently, the prices will be as high or higher than they are now with little possibility of there being any change in the marketing condition for long time to come. The only way the Arkansas far mer can play safe is to keep enough horses to replace his worn out draft stock and far mers who have animals that have not been mated should tal advantage of April and May as a breeding season. J. H. Mcleod, Livestock Specialist with the Ex- tension Division of the Universi- ty of Arkansas, Fayetteville, will be glad to help any farmer solve livestock problems and answer all inquiries which may be sent to him concerning not only the buying and selling of animals but their care and management.

The growing of such feeds as clover, alfalfa, and silage corn reduced the cost of milk production, and the herds received more adequate Shelter and a better water supply in the winter, thus being enabled to give satisfactory yields of milk through a large portion of the year.
 Progress in these directions is to be attributed chiefly to infu- ence of the field man among the farmers. It was under his di rection that the farmers began to give serious attention to the problem of feeding for large and economical milk production. He also introduced the practice of

Hugh Jennings did not bring his team
here from Philadelphia yesterday until
about half an hour before time set for
the game to begin. Consequently it did
not get much batting practice-before
the game. But once the contest got
under way the Tigers practiced plain,

The net result of their stick drill was

sports in colleges has eradicated a
