1 Those are equal suffrage and prohibit tion. That both will be written into the Constitution is almost certainty. Partial suffrage for women has been practically applied in Arkansas, and the women will have their first op- portunity to exercise the cherished prerogative in the ensuing municipal primaries. But even this partial suffrage has thoroughly established the principle, and it is not probable that the Convention will take back ward step in the face of the inevitable Suffrage for all citizens, men and women, is essential to the perpetuity of our free institutions and the mak- ing of the world safe for democracy.
 Another certainty is that there will be written into the constitution that which has been attained by statute the state wide probition of the sale of intoxicants. This, too, has been so thoroughly demonstrated as an econ- omic necessity, to say nothing of it's moral aspects, that the supporters of the whisky regime are being rapidly out-distanced. The people do not want liqour traffic brought into the state There will be small and noisy element insisting that the con- vention shall not adopt statewide prohibition plank, but it requires no prophet to foresee that they can not expect to win their contention. The business interests of the state have joined with the church workers in de- manding the clinching of their hard won victory.
 Then there is the taxation problem, the revenue question for state and municipality, the encouragement of capital, and many other things, enough to keep them busy and to call out their best

Pile Potatoes Carefully.

AS soon as the potatoes are dug and have dried while they should be carried to the storage pit and carefully piled in a cone shape about the box ing. It is thought best not to put over 40 to 50 bushels in the same pit When the potatoes are placed in the bank, simply cover over with light covering of straw or leaves and allow them to remain in this way for ten days or two weeks in order to thor oughly dry out. It is during this dry ing or sweating process that so many of our potatoes rot As the weather turns colder layer of boards or corn stalks should be placed over the straw and thin covering of dirt placed over this. By the time the weather be- comes freezing cold the ends of the ventilator boxes should be closed and the dirt piled on until it is four to six inches deep.

Points to Observe in Purchasinq

 To most farm implements the fol- lowing purchasing points should be applied. bearing in mind that We are making an investment from which We expect dividend
 Efficiency of the machine is to be considered first of all What is the quality of the work that.it will doe How much can be accomplished 2. The machine should be selected with this in view. atthe greatest possible amount of efficient work ma. be squeezed from the implement
 Construction of the machine should be noted. Will the implement stand up under the strain for at least eight years. which should be the average life with reasonable care and housing7 The implement manufacturN outs out new machine and finds some parts are of weak construction When this is called 10 his attention he reinforces these parts if his aim is to help the farmer. If il is not, he allows the farmer 10 suffer the loss and in the long run both arc the losers.
 The farmer is justified in not grab ping the untried and newest machine put on the market If it is an expert. ment he can afford 10 wait a short while until it is tried out If if proves a success as a time and laber saver he should not be the last to lay aside old methods and adopt new.
 Of two equally desirable imple- ments. select the one for which TO- pairs can most readily be obtained Time worth hundreds of dolalrs can easily he lost because of inaccessibil- fly to repairs Purchase implements made by reliable manufacturers
 Keeping {. machine in proper repair will materially lessen it's final expense and give the owner greater satisfae. tion. Ealing wire may serve as re. pair part 10 finish the days work in some instances. but do ttry to make 1t take the place Of the part broken. You may run the cost of upkeep of the machine into dollars instead of cents. Keeping in proper repair in- tidd'o Us Slittiiiiis iOo9t iAt1S, OIlHS tO lessen wear and produce less draft
 Proper Care Means Money Saved
 Even with our inadequate supply of farm implements there are some $25,- 000, 900 invested in this state Annu. ally the farmers lose 8 ,000, 900, as nearly as it can be estimated with the present data. Were the farmer com pelled to pay 15 to % per cent interest on borrowed money he would feel un- justly treated, but farm implements, from the cheapest blow to the thresh- CT, are in most instances left in tho weather the year around Instead of lasting eight years or more. very often two or three years is the life of those 1 implements If shed room can not he provided, the implements should he painted and oiled al the end of the season t,yen though shed ie ac. cessible all wearing surfaces should receive T coating of grease 10 prevent rist.

STATE NEWS ITEMS
(By Clio Harper.)

tBy 0ilO 11dIpei'I
 Little Rock, Oct 1.-The Constitu- tional Convention of 1917 is rapidly approaching Seven weeks from to- dav noon it will be called to order in the hall of the House of Representa- tives by Secretary of State T. J. Ter raj.
 But there is no preliminary dlcus- sion about it's work The newspapers are not indulging in any consideration of the things it should and should not do. The delegates are withholding their views for expression in the con- vention itself, rather than discussing their views with the people. And the people appear to be apathetie or at least different.
 finder normal conditions, when Texas lynching was given as big head lines as the destruction of a German division. all public forums would have been over-run with suggestions, and debates, and propaganda for the annroaching convention But now 1t anpears that weightier matters are engaging the public attention. The war and it's effect upon the future, and ifs immediate effect upon the peo- nle are of the most vital interest, and vet the making of a constitution bv which the state shall be governed for generations--th the present one has been in active use for 43 years--ls surelv matter of equal importance to the people of Arkansas.
 There are many things to consider, an discussion may come when the convention actually gets down to work. The agitation of last summer for post naming the convention did not make much progress, and now very little is heard on the subject There was undoubtedly some sentlment--and Is vet--for a postponement, but It IS not hv any means general The prevalent ,ninion appears to be that this IS Just as opportune time for the writing or 2 constitution as next May or next August, and that nothing would be oained by delay. With the exception of few who are committed to policy of delay, the delegates are=eomlng with the intention. of entering upon the task for which they have been chosen with determination to do the!s utmost to write an instrument that will be model and that will enable inc state to make greater strides n the things worth while.
 A survey of the personnel ot the convention eonvinces an observer that the fads and impractieable faneies of idealjsts and radicals will have very little standing among the members The new constitution must not be made a patchwork of freak leglsla- tion. neither must it contain reVolu- tjonarv provisions, or it will not be ratified by the people. The Okla homa constitution is an illustration. It is too extremely soeialistie to be strong and forceful document upon which material, permanent growth may be based
 There are two propositions that are certain to attract great deal of atten tion. and that will doubtless be the subject of bitter forensic debates.

Wood Storehouses.

The man who grows potatoes on large scale for commercial purposes should build regular storage house The wooden or frame structures are by far the most com mon in this state They are built with double walls, having a six or eight-inch space between the walls. This space may be filed with dry sawdust, or if made practically air tight, may be left with the space thrilled. If the floor of the building is made of concrete, so much the better Bins in the houses are of different sizes, but pos sibly about as good a size as any would be about six feet long four feet wide. and two and one-half to three feet deep. Bins are placed one above another, with possibly a siX-inch space between them. When built in small more readily among the potatoes. and damage done by bruising is not so great as when the bins are made eight 10 ten feet square. \ siX-inch space should be left between the bins and the floor When the potatoes arc placed in=the house the temperature should he raised 10 S0 to & degrees and=held thus for a week or ten days for the purpose of drying out the sur plus moisture. If potatoes begin to sprout the temperature should be low cred to 65 to n degrees. The heating is usually done by means of a wood stove. or, in the Fort Smith district. by gas stoves. After the drying is complete the temperature Of tbe house should be kept as near 5o 10 55 dc grees as possible

WHEAT.
A Successful Crop.


 Winter wheat has been very sue cessful crop in all rarts of the state the past season The cool moist weather which prevailed during the main period nf growth of the crop was ideal for wheat Wheat is well adapted to better soils at least fhrourhout the northern half of the state. Tn southern sections Of the state wheat has yielded well OF tho 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 well adapted to the sandy coastal plain soils. nor 10 hill 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 few acres of wheat should be grown on the most fertile land for home ption. It Is essential that good seed and good cultural treatment be given to insure success.
 Seed At the Right Time.
 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- Der 10 in northwest Arkansas 10 No vember 9 in southern sections. Seeding with 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 drill.
 Many Varieties Yield We'll
 There are large number of varie- ties which yield well and are well adapted to the state. Red May, Fultz, Southern or Alabama Bluestem Cur relIs 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 l21 on wheat can be obtained by writing to the Arkansas Experiment Station Fayetteville.
