WHEN RISK IS REDUCED

What agriculture in the Southwest ,,oods to make it more remuneratlve :. loroer focks and herds. When ororv farm has all the animals it will nointain economically and every man. oaor arranges his rotation of crops to emf the animals, then will more wealth be produced and soil fertility ho stored in the essentials for larger crops.
 The time may never come when ev- cry farm will be well supplied with animals. Some farmers do not wish to take the risk of the greater invest mont livestock production will require Ear greater intelligence must be used in animal production than in crop orowing. Some will not be prepared for mixed farming. But our hope is that the number who will see the op- nortunitv in livestock will increase from year to year till large per cent of the farmers are animal husband men.
 Livestock breeding and feeding re- duces risk on account of drouth and other unfavorable conditions. Crops often fail, markets may be very poor. But if one has animals and depends upon them for income, feeds may be bought when the season is very poor The animals will sometimes be more profitable when feeds are scarce and thus the man who has animals and animal products in such seasons will not lose like the farmer dependent upon crops for market.
 There is more incentive for good farming when animals are raised and feed produced for them. The need of plenty of feed, pasture and shelter will stimulate progressive methods, safe management and diligence in provision for the future.-Farm and I Ranch

PLAN FOR FALL SEEDED OATS.

It is imperative that the Arkansas land owner plan on an increased acre. age of small grains. Every one should plant more oats, since they are adapt ed to wide range of soils, and if planted early enough and on a well prepared seed bed the danger from winter killing, even in the northern part of the state, is reuced to min imum The safest date of seeding will vary from September 25 in North west Arkansas to about November 10 in the southernmost section. The seed should be planted with grain drill since plants seeded in the furrow are better protected from winter killing than if seeded broadcast on the sur face. The compact seed bed is very important, and winter oats planted on we'll drained humus filled soils come through severe seasons better than oats on soils in poor physical condi- tion Winter turf and Culberson va rieties of oats are most resistant to winter killing. Red Rust Proof and its different varieties, Appler, Cook, Van Croft, Ferguson T and Fulgh- rum, are probably most dependable for grain production in the central and southern sections of the state.

It looks as if nobody in the world need lack for something to eat next year, if the crop promise of the Unit ed States for the coming harvest Is fulfilled. According to the forecast of the department of agriculture just issued, food crops this season will be greater by billion bushels than last year. This does not take into ae- count the thousands of home gardens that will produce their millions Of bushels of potatoes and other vege- tables. The governments crop report is probably the severest blow that has been struck at Prussianism in sev- eral days, at least.
