A WAR CROP OF CORN IS NECES-

AND BEAST

Mr.. Farmer. remember a war cror
of corn IS necessary tbs year 1t
will furnish food for man and beast
and every one should have not only
plenty of corn to feed his draft stock
and finish al meat producing ami
mails but ne should plan on supply
for family food With the threat
ened shortage of the wheat crop we
may have to use corn meal as a sub
stitute fer wheat -four. Fer good
health corn products should never
be used in an exclusive diet but IN
mixed diet it is an excellent food and
much cheaper than less wholesome
products. Shelled corn has about the
same feeding value as oats and corn
fodder, about the same value as tlmo
thy hay, while a pound Of corn meal
contains as much nourishment for a
man as pounds of potatoes.

STILL USES DOAN'S
KEEP YOUR GARDEN WORKING

Home gardeners who are now en-
joying lettuce, mustard, spinach, on

BY planting succession of crops
they may have good things through
out the entire summer, by starting
new crops between the rows of plants
which are soon to be removed. Do
not fail to plant another crop on
ground as soon as the ground IS
cleared Successive paintings should
be made every three or four weeks.
Garden calendars which will give you
suggestions and hints concerning the
kind of vegetables to plant, when to
plant and how to plant are furnished
free to any one upon request.
Plant sweet potatoes on very low
ridges. 1t is not necessary 10
plant on high ridges as was once
thought best. Planting on low ridg-
es makes the potatoes more easily
worked and less surface soil is ex-
posed TO the sunlight and, consequent
", the evaporation of much needed
moisture will be lessened. Do not
fail to plant plenty of this most nour-
ishinc vegetable. Every farmer
should have at least z to ! acre OF
potatoes # he is to protect his family,

PUSH CULTIVATION
0F- CORN ND COTrO :

Persistent early cultivation largely
determines the success Of the corr or
cotton crop. 1t not only makes 1t
possible to control the grass and
weeds which must not be tolerated
because they hinder the growth Of the
plants and utilize the fertility 'eeded
for the crop but stirring the soil
helps to warm Il by permitting q
circulation of air which is necessary
for the roots. Warm soil hastens the
growth Of young plants. By all means
do not let the corn become stunted IN
growth. Good early cultivation also
helps to put cotton in thriving con
dition and enables it to resist dis
ease. Push the cultivation Of both
corn and cotton without delay. Guilt
vate after each rain, as soon as the
soil is in condition to work, and in
dry weather it will be we'll to 90 over
the field every ten days or two weeks

PLANT MORE SWEET POTATOES

Every farmer in Arkansas should
plant more sweet potatoes. An acre
or two Of sweet potatoes should be
grown or at least enough to supply
the family for The winter and the
early spring. There is still time to
start crop of sweet potatoes and
it viii pay every farmer to make a
special effort to grow good supply
since the prices will, undoubtedly, be
better than in former years Thera
has been some difficulty experienced
by few in storing their sweet po-
tatoes SO that they would keep
throughout the winter. but there is
no need of loss if sweet potatoes are
handled properly and at sweet pota-
to digging time information concern
ing the proper storage can be had
without expense from the Extension
Division.

DO NOT FORGET THE HEALTH
OF THE FAMILY

In the rush to raise maximum crops
and do your share in producing food
and feed, do not forget the health of
the family Remember, your great
est asset is good health for yourself
and family. For good health you
must not only have q supply of veg
etables TO be put up for next winter
and plenty of meat but you must OBJ
serve the recognized rules Of santa
ton. Do not forget that flies carry
filth on their feet and spread dis
ease, while mosquitoes are recognized
carriers of typhoid fever. Watch
the water supply. Be sure that the
well is not located so it can be con-
taminated from the barns and other
outhouses. Rid the place Of all dead
animals and filth by burning. Watch
the dairy COW for tuberculosis. It is
a recognized fact that tuberculosis
can be given to the milk COW by an
individual and If the disease is prev
alent in a single COW or herd It can
be Transmitted to the members Of the
family
There is too much typhoid, malaria
and tuberculosis in Arkansas. We
cannot do our full share in the cam
paien for efficiency and preparedness
unless we take precautions against
these diseases Money cannot buy
health. Take time TO put up screens
and use every other preeaution to
protect Your family.

APPLE TREES

There is an apple tree standing
along roadside near frankfort,
Mo, that is said to have been plant
ed in 1918. 1t has been bearing with
fair regularity for nearly 100 years
and this spring is reported in full
bloom again, ready to do its part in
feeding the nation.
Many and many time in the his
tory of this fruitful century, that
apple tree has done its part and done
it well, only to see its fruit left rot
ting on the ground There were so
many APPLE trees in Missouri-and SO
many people who wouldn't take the
trouble to gather their product. But
conditions have changed, and fruit
trees have come into new honor
There will be plenty of competition
for that old trees crop next fall.
It's a striking reminder of the val
ue of fruit trees in general, and par
ticularly of apple trees They are
longer lived than most persons. Mere
natural vigor carried this patriarch to
its ripe old age, but many tree
could doubtless match its record II 1t
received proper care. At any rate,
by proper care the life of nearly
every fruit tree might be doubled or
trebled and its produetiveness vastly
increased.
Horticulture is in its infancy in this
country. We have been too busy
raising wheat, corn, oats and potatoes
to give serious attention to our orch
ards. Only in recent years, and gen
orally speaking, only in the far West,
has fruit growing been praeticed with
modern scientific thoroughness, and
profit that such thoroughness brings.

DESTROY GARDEN PESTS

Do not let the insect pests ruin
your garden and truck crops. Your
vegetables are too valuable. Destroy
these pests as soon as they appear
Cut worms are best controlled by US
ing a poisoned bait consisting of &C
pounds of wheat bran with which has
been thoroughly mixed 2 ounces OF
Paris green and one cup of cheap
sugar After mixing the Paris
green and bran make the poisoned
bran into dough with the syrup
scatter this mixture around the hills
where the cut worms have been work
ing, along fence rows where they us
ually emerge.
Cabbage worms can be controlled
by using applications of ounce of ar
senate of lead paste or Il ounce of the
powder of arsenate of lead in one gal
Ion of water. To this it is advisa-
bile to add about Il ounce of any
kind of soap in order to make the So
luton stick to the cabbage leaves.
Apply every ten days uneil two weeks
before using. If outer leaves are
discarded there is no danger from the
poison.
For potato bugs, dust the potato
vines as often as necessary with a
mixture by weight, of Paris green
to "a parts of lime dust, or better than
this, if one has the means of applying
the poison in liquid spray is mix
ture consisting of l ounce of arsenate
Of lead paste, or u ounce of the pow
der and Il ounce off Paris green in a
gallon of water. This mixture
should be applied about every ten
days.
Cucumber beetles, rather small and
lemon yellow in color with three
black stripes down the back, are usu
ally a great menace to growers off
squash, melons, cucumbers and relat-
ed plants. They should be controlled
by busting with arsenate of lead or
by spraying, using 112 pounds of
powder or pounds of paste and so
gallons of water About 2 pounds of
soap should be added to make the
spray stick to the plants.
Plant lice should be controlled
most conveniently by spraying with
one of the nicotine products found on
the market BLACK Leaf 40' Is the
most common product known in Ark
ansas.
Farmers and gardeners who have
in controlling the pests
which attack their crops should write
to the State Entomologist at the Uni
versity of Arkansas, Fayetteville, for
circulars which deal with these pests
and their control. They will be sent
free upon application.
