MORE MONEY IF
 HANDLED RIGHT
WITH HOGS AT 13 CENTS PER POUND, THE SWINE INDUSTRY IS ONE OF STATES GREAT
 EST ASSETS.

With hogs at 13 cents and above for every farmer in Arkansas, but there is more money in the business for a man who will give it particular attention and provide plenty of forage crops which will give good grazing throughout the year, thus reducing the cost of production to a minimum The profit in any product of a farm lies between the cost of production and the selling price. Too often We do not give the cost of producing any commodity enough thought and attention. We think only of the sell ing price.
 Every farmer should plan to have more hogs this year than ever before. He should protect himself by having his hogs immunized against hog cholera and should endeavor to sup ply plenty of forage crops for these animals. In the past we have too of alone or we have turned them out cn mast to hustle for themselves Both of these methods are wrong. The first one is too expensive and the latter gives only small amount of pork of poor quality and the hoge are always exposed to diseases. The tests of the Experiment Station and the exper- fence of the successful farmers have shown that the cheapest and most sue. cessful way of producing pork is with maximum amount of good pasture and the minimum amount of corn. J. H. Mcleod specialist in livestock with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, suggests the following crops with given acreage to furnish succession of grazing for a litter of eight pigs from early spring until marketed in January
 1. Dwarf Essex Rape, 2-5 of an acre planted about February 15, and ready for grazing about April 15 or May l.
 2. Amber Sorghum, 2-5 of an acre planted about April 1 and ready to cut or gFaze about June 15 or July !.
 3. Medium Yellow or Haberlandt Soybeans, 2-5 of an acre planted about April and ready to graze about July 15 or August l.
 1. Soybeans or Cowpeas planted in corn at laying-by time ready to graze by fall.
 All Of these crops can be planted

JONES PASSED GOOD BILL

Senator George Jones put over good bill in the Senate when he sent over to the House a measure permit ting the school directors in rural dis tricts to furnish transportation to and from school for the pupils. This is just what has been done by some en- terprising districts for some time. They have purchased automobile trucks of small size and gathered up the pupils living some distance from the school and instead of putting all the money of the district into little shack of a building, it has been possi- ble to combine several districts, talk ing in more territory, putting up good buildings and employing better teach CTS.
 At first glance the rural voter would oppose this proposition, but the more he will study it, the more t should appeal to him. At present there is a school about every five miles. Many of these schools are very primitive affairs. There is teacher for about fifteen pupils. This teacher has to divide her time between the pupils of all departments, and ire quently there is but one pupil in class. If three or four districts com- bine and erect a sehoolhouse where the districts join, pool their taxes in one building. and taking the four teachers, assign them to different de- partments, much better work can De accomplished, for the teachers can be selected for the departments, instead of for general work Then motor vehicle can be secured and so much ground can it cover, if the roads are even passable, that the pupils will be delivered at the school in better con- dition than ever before, and the school building will be far more comfortable in the winter months than it would be possible in the little building the single district could afford
 Little Rock has several concerns which will supply the automobiles for use in these combined schools, bat whether Little Rock furnishes them or not, it is a good bill and should go all the way through the Assembly.

less on the floor. He voted for liberal appropriations, on the theory that quality is better than quantity. just tne same as he does in his private deal ings.
 Tn addition to his other qualities, President Davenport not only surpris- ed friends and foe by turning out to be a first grade parliamentarian but he uncorked a sense of humor that many times took the Senate out of snarl and put it back in working order. and in such manner that there were no anfmosities Often this had to he done in some other way than by par limentary procedure, and President Davenport was not the man who was afraid to tread on thin ice if he saw a straight road ahead Tn the whole session President Davenport did not once suffer the humiliation of an ap- peal from the decision of the chair. It is probable that no president of the Arkansas Senate ever left legisla- tive session with so many friends as does the one who retires Thursday at noon. They say that President Da- venport has other and higher political aspirations If he has, he will find & members of the 1917 Senate ready, with oratorical pipes well oiled, to stump his district whenever he sends out the political s. 0.

cREolT-wHERE CREDIT IS DUE

It would hardly be fair to permit a legislative session end without paying tribute to President W. D. Davenport of the Arkansas Senate. This is being done daily in the Arkansas Senate. and the most of the praise comes from men who were opposed to his selec- tion as the presiding officer of the Senate. President Davenport has rul- ed absolutely without bias on every. question that has come before him. He has voted one way and ruled another, time and again. He began by being more lenient with his opponents ill the matter of committee appointments than anyone thought possible. He seemed to forget on the day of his selection to the office, who were his friends and who were his enemies, and from that time on all have looked alike to him.
 President Davenport is what most people would term liberal He is always for the moral and the right, but he is not narrow in his views, as are most people who pose in this light. Senator Davenport has never been battle axe" man. and he never opposed a motion to adjourn He was sound in the belief that men could do more work, and better work, by spending more time in committees and
