MORE SMALL GRAINS SHOULD BE PLANTED
In Order To Grow Such Crops 1t Is Important That Caution Be Ob-
 served as To Varieties Used.
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 well for it. However, in order to grow such crops with safety and profit 1t is important that eau tion be observed relative to varieties used and culture given. The adapta- tion of winter oats, wheat and rye for varying conditions should be under stood, and the proper cereal should be chosen for the particular conditions represented.

WHEAT.
A Successful Crop.


 Winter wheat has been a very suc- 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 we'll adapted to better soils at least throughout the northern half of the state. In southern sections of the state wheat has yielded well on the more fertile river bottom soils for the past three years, and did well on uplands in 1915 and 1917. Experience has shown that wheat ordinarily is not we'll adapted to the sandy coastal plain soils, nor to bill 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 a few acres of wheat should be grown on the most fertile land for home consumption. It is essential that good seed and good cultural treatment be given to insure success. ='..'t ''::'
 - Seed At the. Right Tlme.
 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- ber 10 in northwest Arkansas to No vember 2S 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 drin.
 Many Varieties Yield Well.
 There are a large number of varie- ties which yield we'll and are we'll adapted to the state. Red May, Fultz, Southern or Alabama Bluestem, Cur rell's Prolific, and Purple Straw are good smooth-headed varieties. and Fulcaster and Dietz are desirable bearded varieties. Most of these va rieties are offered for sale by seeds men. Bulletin 121 on wheat can be obtained by writing to the Arkansas ExpeMment Station. Fayetteville.

Annette Kellermann Tells
 Her Pupils How to Float Following Stay Top Without
By Annette kellcrman.

By this time most of you. my pu- ipils, have mastered the first rudi- ments of swimming and from reports received by me from your editor on The Graphic most of you are pro- gressing remarkably well
 Once more l caution you: Do not go out into the water too far
 Always remain within the safety zone so that if anything should hap pen to you, help could be rendered at once.
 Today you will learn how to float in one lesson. I have purposely re- trained from giving you this lesson at the start because it is far better to be able to swim before learning how to float. One of the main req sons is this, that you must first be- come acquainted with the water be- fore trying to- float so that you have enough self-cOnfidence.
 No doubt many of you are able to float without difficulty, especially the women and girls. Women and girls rarely meet with failure. even at the first trial at floating. In way na- ture has aided woman by giving her smaller bones than man. and this in a way, makes her much lighter in the water. This has proven itself to be a great help to women.
 In the case of the men little prac- tice is required
 One more explanation to those who might find it difficult to float. That is:-it is far easier to float in salt water than it is in fresh water.
 There is something remarkably ex- hilirating about floating about on the water and I am certain that all of you will enjoy the experience im- mensely. Now for the lesson. If you follow my directions carefully you will be able to learn how to float in one lesson. Try this on dry land first so as to become acquainted with the movement
 Lie down on the floor, flat on your back, keep the back holloWed. Do not stiffen the body, in fact it should be kept rather limp Never stiffen the body at any time while floating. You are now lying on the floor, on your back. Now I want you to place your arms extended over your head. Hold them extended resting on the floor.
 Stretch the hands and interlock the thumbs. Now rest easily and draw 3 deep breath and hold it; then ex- hale slowly and continue to inhale and exhale slowly.
 Now into the water Use the breast stroke until you are away from the side of the shore or pool, as the case may be. Now want you to turn on your back. This may seem hard to do but really it is very easy and you should be able to do it at once. While swimming turn your body nat urally and with scooping movement of the hands and little natural kick of the legs you will find yourself on your back. Now the thing to do is to- remain there. Use your hands as a balance and slowly assume the po- sition I showed you.
 You should be able to float at once, If, however, you experience any diff ficulty there is something wrong with your position and you had bet ter read my instructions again. Then again, as l said before, some of you will experience a little difficulty in mastering this part of the swimming course. But stick to it and you can not help but succeed.

OATS. Adapted To Wide Range of Soils.


 Ordinarily for grain production the winter oat crop is better adapted over a wider range of soil conditions than wheat While 1t is true that winter killing of fall-seeded oats was com mon in many fields over the state, es- pecally in the northern half, the past season, the fact remains that individ- ua1 farmers in different sections es- capped with a 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 25 In northwest Ark ansas to about November 10 in south ernmost sections. It is not wise to risk failure through delayed seeding.
 Plant With a Grain Drill.
 Seed should be planted with a grain drill since plants seeded in a 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 one-half bushels per acre. and the long-hulled strains of Red Rust Proof at not less than three or three and onehalf 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 ed humus-f1lled soils come through the winter, in severe seasons, much better than oats planted on soils in poor physical condition. A compact seed bed is very important and land should be broken considerably in ad- vance of the time of seeding, or at least carefully rolled before the oats are seeded.
 The Best Varieties.
 Winter Turf and Culberson varie- ties of oats are most resistant to win ter-killing. Both varieties are ordi- narily dependable on well drained, fertile soils in the northern half of the state. The Red Rust Proof oat and it's different strains-Appler. Cook, Bancroft, Ferguson 71, and Fui- shum, is probably most dependable for grain production in central and southern sections of the state.

ArfesiaIa We'll
 Drilled Many
 Years, W@rksiimg

Water from a well drilled on the court house plaza 2S years ago has come to the surface, according to an investigation made yesterday. It was more than a quarter of a cen tury ago that Joe Drew, eXperi menting for artesian water, drilled HOO feet on the court house grounds. The well was not con- sidered a success and was capped with cement The cap was removed and it was discovered that the water was up to the surface From the side a ditch was hastily dug and the flow was allowed to irrigate the northwest garden.
 It was two years ago that it was first noticed that the main entrance wa k to the court house building wac sinking Four squares of the cement in the center walk from Washington street had fallen several inches, but scant attention was paid to the matter Yesterday Dave Turner. the court house gardner, re- ported that water was coming from underneath the walk and he believed that a pipe had burst. A J. Tho man, who Investigated, failed to find any trouble from pipes and it was he who recalled the well drilling by Drew. In removing the cap yer itable lake came to view and at the suggestion of Thoman watee was turned into the garden.
 Several pioneers, who remembered the Drew experiments in the old days found their way to the court yard where they satisfied them selves that the water had reached the surface.
