SODA WATER PRICES
 AFFECTED BY WAR
Pine Bluff Manufa cturers Finally Forced To Advance Price To
 Meet Higher Cost of Production.

A slight advance in the pric~ of soda water will go into effect in Pine Bluff tomorrow, the Pine Bluff Bot tling company announcing that the greatly increased cost of material used in the manufacture of it's pro- ducts making such an advance imper- ative.
 1t is expected that other manufac- turcrs of soda water will take the same action, as they are also affected by the war prices of sugar, coloring and other material as we'll as the i'm creased cost of labor
 Manufacturers of soda water in Pine Bluff were among the few pro- duccrs who held out as long aus pos sible against the constantly rising cost of production without increasing prices on products. There are still some few products that may be pur- chased as cheaply as before the war, these being ice, milk, newspapers, newspaper space. electricity. gas and telephone and telegraph service. And the quality of none of these has de- terioriated.
 The advance in soda water, how ever, is so small that only those who purchase in cases will be affected The advance, it was stated, will not cover the increase cost of materials, some of the ingredients having advanced as much as 800 and HOO per cent.

Summer Forage Crops.

There are four important feed crons
that can be planted now. The con-
tinued drouth is reducing the corn
yield below the early estimates So
that with an effort much of this short,
age can be overcome by PLANTING
suitable crops now. These are: Q
Corn. Mexican June and Cuban
These varieties produce large
amounts of forage and considerable
grain.
Sorghum. This is one of our best
forage crops and will make 10 20 X
tons of sllage per acre.
Millet. This is an excellent cron on
average land and can be planted at
any time until October.
Peanuts. Owing to the wheat
shortage and the exceptional demand
for vegetable oils, the South is urged
to increase the peanut crop. Plant
ing as late as this, the Spanish varic.
ties should be used, but if the land i
well drained fair yield may be ex-
pected.

Work the Melon Ground Again.

After the ground has been cleared
of watermelons and cantaloupes, there
is time to plant hay crop, says
c. X. McQuarrie of the University of
Florida extension division. The re-
mains of the melon crops should be
destroyed or plowed under deeply to
help eliminate the chance of disease.
1t is customary to leave the old mel
ons and vines in the field and to al
low what volunteer hay seed is pres
ent TO come up.
That practice is too uncertain to
be regularly profitable. The surest
way to get crop is to prepare the
ground and sow the seed. Even if
the volunteer seed is to be depended
on, a good ground preparation will
not come amiss.
Beggar weed, Mexican clover, or
COW peas may be sown as hay crops
to follow melons. Sow the beggaI
weed at the rate of ten pounds to
the acre for the recleaned seed, and
twenty pounds for the seed in the hull
Broad casting is perhaps the best
method where no seeder is available
Harrow or disk in. Cowpeas should
be planted in rows about two and a
half feet apart, so that they can be
cultivated to increase the yield.

The Germans ought to have
known that the same inventive genius
which gave them the submarine weap-
on will also knock it out of their

The Germans have announced to
the world that unrestricted subma-
rIne warfare is their trump card and
mat they are stalking their all upon
thlS card. The result of this latest
move OF German ruthlessness has
D!een most serious. 1t has forced us

Inc submarine itself as well as

operation are the product of Ameri-
can lnventlveness, the same inventive
ness which gave birth to the tele-

Tying machine. But the Germans
ought to have known that the same
inventive genius which gave them the
submarine weapon will also knock it
out of their hands.
They did not know it owing to their
utter lack of subtle psychological dis
elimination, but they will know il

When high prices prevail, or when
there is a shortage Of feed and for
age crops, there is a tendency for
the farmers to Gull their breeding
stock too closely, says John M. Scott
Of the University of Florida expert
ment station. That is, large num-
Der of desirable young cows and
heifers and young sows and gifts are
sold for meat.
High prices are a strong tempta-
ton, but we must look to the future,
says Mr.. Scott. The prospects are
that both beef and pork will continue
to bring good prices for several
years. Every effort should be made
to keep as much desirable breeding
stock on the farm as it is possible to
care for. If the herd must be re-
duced, Gull out the older animals.
We cannot continue to produce the
necessary amount of meat products if
we reduce our breeding herds, con-
tinues Mr. Scott. The breeding herds
must be kept up to the maximum
that the farm will carry.

SELECT YOUR SEED CORN.
1t Is Too Early Yet, But Keep the
Necessity in Mind.

There was a scarcity of good seed
corn this year, and there is nearly
every year. There is likely to be a
greater scarcity next year, because
the high prices for grain will draw
heavily on this years production,
taking with it much of the surplus
usually held over until spring. AL
so, there is likely to be an increase in
the acreage planted next year thru
the necessity of still greater produc-
ton. 1t is very essential then that
farmers select seed this year and hold
it for next years planting, says the
University of Florida experiment sta
ton.
Another advantage will result from
this Observation-Disclosures will be
sure to have acclimated seed corn. 1t
is wastcful to plant northern grown
seed corn in Florida and expect to
get a maximum, or even paying,
yield. The best source of seed corn
inn any locality is the immediate vi
entity. If the corn grown there is
doing well, it means that corn has
passed thru many generations in
adapting itself to the climate, soil,
and weather conditions of that To-
cality.
The trying of new varieties should
be discouraged at the outset. With
the whole world as his customer, the
farmer should attempt no experiment
that might result in failure, nor one
which might result in only a half
success. Florida acres must produce
their maximum yields next year, for
whether the war continues or not, the
world will be hungry for American
grown feeds.
Unless there is grower in the
community making a speciality of
raising pure seed, the farmer should
select his next years seed from his
own field. This practice has many
advantages over crib-selecting, for
the growth of the stalk and the posi-
ton OF the ear on the stalk has much
to do win the desirability of the eal
for seed. These are things that
cannot be determined by choosing the
ear in the crib.
Farmers who are interested in Sc.
lecting the best ears of corn for seeC
should ask their county agent to helI
them. And in some counties, the ex'
perenced corn-club boy might lenC
valuable assistance.

Harvard college students, prepar-
ing to help America uphold democra-
cy in the world, are drilling on Cam
bridge, Mass, common, where Am
erica formally adopted its first army
in the struggle against crown.
This army was the disorganized
force of New England farmers, who
voluntarily concentrated to besiege
the veteran soldiers of king in Bos-
ton in the days following the skir-
mshes at Lexington and Concord.
Congress, having at last assumed
responsibility for it, commissioned
one of it's own members, George
Washington, commanders chief and
ordered him to assume command in
the name of the united provinces Of
North America.
This he did on July 8, ITS.
Washington's tall form drew cheers
from citizens massed about the COM
mon as he strobe into the square Of
troops drawn up there. He made 4
graceful figure in his new uniform
great-coat of blue with its bright red
facings, and his silver laced waist
coat Over his left shoulder and
across his breast was an embroidered
lilac scarf, knotted at the right hip.
At his waist appeared the silver ham
dies of two pistols.
This was the uniform of the Vir-
ginia militia, in which Washington
had been a colonel.
No alutes were fired
Wa hngton drew his sword and is
sued his first "order of the day.
written in the neat hand of his Sec
rotary, Joseph Reed.
Colonel William Prescott, hero of
Bunker Hill, was to be officer of the
veteran of the Indian wars and an
other Bunker Hill man, was commits
stoned major general. These Officers
were on the field.
In the days following Washington
made an exact inventory of his forces
supplies and equipment. The result
caused him grave concern. With
miles of line to defend against at
tack from the troops in Boston, he
had on paper, 10000 men.
| For each man in the Continental ar
my there were but rounds of am,
munition. This explained why no sa
lutes were fired the morning of July
3.
The troops were undisciplined ant
subject to provincial jealoussies. Few
except the Rhode Islanders were uni
formed. Some had no weapons a
all. There were no tents. Rude huts
of mud and logs were the only shell
ter the men had.
With this army Washington was
expected to defeat and drive from Bos
ton the veteran troops, excellently
equipped, of one of the finest armies
of Europe.
A little more than months late,
this was accomplished, after Wash
ington's farmers fortified Dorchester
Heights and began firing shells into
the city from big guns hauled witt
oxen from captured Fort Ticondero
ga.
