The pictures tell story. Some cows
have good udders, udders that yield
large quantities of milk. Others have
bad udders, udders that reduce the
market value Of the COW. Keep the
COW with the good udder, the COW that
produces much milk. Udder (a) is a
good one; all of the others have de-
fects that you will easily recognize.
After the selection of the COW by the
udder, look to the milk pail and see
whether she is the good COW she seems
to be. Looks are sometimes deceiving
even in the udders of cows. Keep the

BUY WHEAT ONLY FROM
RELIABLE DEALERS

A great many farmes are planning
on adding to their wheat acreage and
consequently a great many kinds of
wonder" wheats are being advertised
extensively. Prospective Arkansas
wheat growers should remember that
a variety which has proven its worth
in the neighborhood in which the
grower is located is often times far
better than anything which can be
imported, especially when the buyers
takes chance by buying seed from
unknown parties at distance depend
ing entirely upon the recommendations
made by the person who has the seed
for sale. If you cannot get good
wheat seed in your neighborhood write
to the College of Agriculture at Fay
etteville for reports on the best va
rieties of wheat for Arkansas. Don't
buy expensive seed of any kind from
persons whom you do not know before
consulting your county agent or writ
ing the Extension Division.

HANDLE SWEET
POTATOES CAREFULLY


1t will soon be time to begin digging
the sweet protato crop. Why not get
busy now and build a suitable storage
house or shed. Now is about as good
a time as the farmer has for such
work, and it is a work which will sure
ly pay this season. Let US put forth
every effort to save the sweet potato
crop, remembering that successful
storage may be said to depend upon
several factors:
O-The maturity of potatoes at
time of digging.
(2)-Proper drying out of the po-
tatoes shortly after they are dug.
(3)-Fredom from disease and seri-
Gus bruises when placed in storage.
The pit or bank method of storing
the crop is very satisfactory for the
small home grower A description of
this method and plans and sugges-
tons for building wood store houses
may be secured by writing to Mr.. j.
S. Knox, Extension Division, Fay
etteville, Arkansas.

PLAN FOR WINTER PASTURES

With all kinds of grain needed for
human consumption and commanding
exceptionally high prices, farmes
should plan to put in more wheat, rye
and oats for cover crops and winter
pastures. Everyone should have VIM
ter pasture for all his live stock. One
of the best crops to be sowed for fall
winter and early spring pasture is
rye. This cereal is very hardy and
seldom winter kills in this state.
1t makes a rapid growth and does
we'll during weather too cool for wheat
or oats. As a green manure crop it is
ready to be turned under in the spring
before either wheat or oats. cit is a
very suitable crop to be planted be-
tween rows of cotton, even on poor
soil, for pasture or green manure.
The Abruzzi variety, which is be-
coming popular at least in the South
ern two-thirds of the state, is some
what earlier than common rye and as
a rule produces larger and better
grain. Abruzzi rye is not as hardy as
common rye in northern districts of
the state. Rye is usually planted at
the rate of four pecks per acre. It
car be planted somewhat later than
wheat but otherwise the culture IS the
same

How To Determine II Your Soil
Needs Lime.

The simplest method of determin-
ing if a soil needs lime is to test it
with litmus paper. Litmus paper
can be secured ar most drug stores.
It comes in two colorS-red and blue.
The blue is used for the test. Much
Of the litmus paper carried by drug
gists is of an inferior quality and is
not sufficiently sensitive for the test.
That which is put up in small Walls
by Squibble and by Merck & Co. has
been found to be satisfactory
To make the test in the field time
Is selected after a rain when the soil
is moist A ball of moist soil Is
broken apart, strip of the blue lit
mus paper inserted. and the soil
pressed together again. After five
or ten minutes the paper is taken out
and if it has turned pink the soil is
acid Tests should be made in sew
eral parts of field that is being
examined to eliminate errors. The
litmus paper test is not absolutely re-
liable even in the hands of trained
workman and is sometimes mislead-
ing when used by the inexperienced
person Il is so simple and mex.
pensive. however. that every farmer
should test his soil Then Il there Is
any doubt about it a sample may be
sent to the Department Of Agronomy
Of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Fayetteville where It will be
tested free of charge
The Springdale news., 1917-08-24
Form Of Lime To Use.

Il It is desired TO grow clover or
alfalfa on a soil that has been found
to be acid. lime in some form must
be used TO correct the acidity or the
attempt TO get stand is almost GER
tain to be failure Lime may be
applied as ground limestone, ground
shells, ground burned lime. Stacked
lime. or wood ashes. The safest and
usually the cheapest form Of lime TO
use is ground limestone or ground
shells An unlimited amount OF such
material could be used without in
Jury: whereas If an excessive amount
OF burned or Stacked lime or wood
ashes is used, the crop may be in
jured and much humus destroyed in
the soil However, If the burned Or
Stacked lime is used in moderate
quantities mot 20 exceed 1900 pounds
per acre. no injury will result In
most cases it will be found more sat
isfactory 10 use the ground limestone,
because it is cheaper, less unpleas-
ant to handle and is safer
Ground limestone should be applied
acre II a very large proportion OF
the material consists of coarse parti-
cles from one-eighth TO onef fourth
inch in diameter a larger quantity
should be used The finer the rock
is ground the more quickly il becomes
available. but the finer grinding adds
materially 10 the cost Of producti0n
hence in many cases, it is cheaper to
use three or four tons of the coarse
material rather than two tons of fine
" ground rock. In no case, however,
should ground limestone be purchased
which contains particles larger than
one-fourth inch and large proper
ton Of all limestone used should con
sist of fine powder.
Ground limestone may be spread
with special lime distributors. many
STYLES of which are on the market, or
If may be spread from a wagon with
shovels. In case the latter method is
used care should be taken 70 insure
an even distribution, otherwise tho
crop will not be uniform. 1t should
be spread on plowed ground and eth
er disked or narrowed in. Lime should
never be plowed under "a that buries
it TOO deeply to be of benefit to the
terminating seed which needs it
most.
Ground limestone should always be
purchased in carload lots. In case
one farmer is unable 10 use so much
several should combine in order to
get the benefit of the lower freight
rates.
