times pimply eruption Or large Jumps

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Oct. ?, 19I7.- Green forage crop should supply most of the feed for the hogs this fall and winter. Practical farm CTS have learned that corn alone is very expensive for hogs dur ing periods of normal prices. At the present price it Is prohibi- tive. Il hogs are to be grown with profit corn must be supple mented by green grazing. Right now every farmer should SOW few acres of wheat, oats, rye, bur or crimson clover. In many cases these crops can be sown in ] tbe cotton or corn middles. The earlier these crops are put in tbe more pasture will be furnished. If crimson clover is sown on land for the first time there must be D. oper inoculation. This may be done by treating the seed with inoculation material that can be secured free of charge from the U. ,. Department of Agriculture Washington, D. c. It may also be secured from the seed houses. Bur clover seed. if sown in the bur. carry the inoculation. On good soil nothing will make more winter grazing than rape. The seed is cheap and only about four pounds are required per acre. A seeding may be made now and another one in February. Rape ,, makes a good mixture with wheat or oats.
 Try some new vegetables for winter use, and all of the old ones. Green things for the table will cut down the doctor bills and also reduce the grocery bill. The land for the fall garden should be prepared at once. Break the soil in good shape. Harrow and drag 1t until it is smooth, firm and all the clods broken. Among the well known vegetables that can be planted now are turnips, radisnes, kale, rape. onions aud lettuce.

Reward for Deserters

Washington D c. Sept P, 1917. A reward of fifty dollars is payable for the delivery at the nearest Army Camp or post of a deserter. This reward is in full satisfacti on of all expenses in cured in said delivery. A per son who fails to report to his To- cal board for military service at the time specified in his order to report is deserter. A person who fails to report for military service to the Adjutant General of the State by the date specified in the order of Adjutant General to said person is a deserter. It is highly desirable from every standpoint that an effort now be made to round up all persons who are delinquent in reporting tor military service. Itis thought that if the fact Of reward is given the widest publicity we shall have a great force of police off cers and even of individuals in tereSted in bringing such delin- quents under military control If, after such persons are brought to military authority, it appears to the military author ity that their delinquency is not willful they will be forwarded to mobilization camp and their lo- cal board will be given credit if it appears that the delinquency is willful they will be prosecuted before court martial as desert CTS. In either case the reward d is payable.
