Arkansas One of Few

The State Council of Defense has been advised by the Secre- tary of the War Minerals Com mittee of the national Council that the government is looking with interest toward the possi- ble development of some of the mineral resources of Arkansas. Secretary A. c. White says:
 Arkansas is one of the few states that contains important high-grade deposits ofmanganese ore, one of the most important minerals used by our steel in dustries. This Committee is for mulating a plan in cooperation with the American Ipstitlte of Mining Engineers, the Assocla tion of State Geologists, the Uni ted States Geological Survey, and the United States Bureau of Mines, to improve methods and stimulate production in the man. ganese districts of the country. This will be accomplished by SC curing the free services of ex, pert engineers and geologists of high reputation, who will prac tically donate a certain amount of time to the work. We believe such will be of great advantage in developing our domestic re- sources and in relieving the ship ping situation by meeting the war demands for essential min erals for home supplies

Plan For Winter Pastures

With all kinds of grain needed for human consumption and com handing exceptionally high prices, farmers should plan TO put in more wheat, rye and oats for cover crops and winter pas lures. Everyone should have enough winter pasture fer all his live stock. One of the best crops to be sowed for fall winter and early spring pasture is rye. This ceI cal is very hardy and seldom winter kills in this State.
 It makes a rapid growth and does well during weather too cool for wheat or oats. As a green manure crop it is ready to be turned under in the spring before either wheat or oats. It is very suitable crop to be plant ed between rows of cotton even on poor soil, for pasture or green manure.
 The Abruzzi variety. which is becoming popular at least in the Southern two thirds ot the state, is somewhat earlier than com mon rye and as a rule produces larger snd better grain. Abruzzi rye is not as hardy as common rye in northern districts of the state. Rye is usually planted at the rate of four pecks per acre. It can be planted somewhat later than wheat but otherwise the culture is the same.
The Carlisle independent., 1917-08-23
PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

During August and September the farmer should find time to provide feed for the late fall and winter months. Many farmers have a few hogs for killing pur poses. Store feed is so high priced that it is almost prohibi tive. The only cheap feed that can be had this year is pasture, and it cannot be had in most in stances unless planting is done during this month and next.
 Nothing will make more hog pasture than rape, if it is seeded on good soil and especially on soil that is inclined to be little moist. An acre of rape ought to furnish one-half the pasture for five or six one-hundred pound shoats throughout the entire winter. The seed of rape is com paratiyely cheap, which is big item this season. Rape makes splendid mixture with red rust proof oats or winter wheat as a winter grazing crop.
 The cotton middles on at least a few acres, should be sown to wheat, oats or rye. It will cut out much of the feed bill for the horse. mule or COW.
 Extra care should be taken this season to save the clover, alfalfa and pea crops in good shape. Because of the large amount of water that the stems of these crops contain, they are always hard to cure. When cut with the mower they should be raked up into windrows just as soon as the leaves begin to wilt. The water in the stem goes out by evaporation through the leaves. If the plants are allowed to lay on the ground in the swath until the leaves are bleachd and burned in the sun the evapora tion cannot take place and the stems dry out slowly. In addi tion to the slow curing many of the leaves are lost. At least 50 per cent of the feeding value of tue plant is in the leaves.
 Start to picking the cotton crop early. Very often the mis- take is made of waiting until the entire crop is open before pick ing is started. Whenever there is much open cotton in the field some oi it will drop off on the ground where it will be damaged especially if it rains. A great deal is lost every year because part of the lint is allowed to fall off on the ground, due to not pushing the picking. With the price of cotton this year the farmers can afford to use every precaution to save the crop in as good condition as possible.

A Son-of-a-Gun From Bitter Creek

| It is matter of common ob- servation that the debates in Congress are not very enlighten- ing. But when the average Con gressional spouter gets on to religious text, or moral topic, he fairly emulates the Dutchman who every spring bored holes in his cellar door, as he said, to let the darkness out" The latest example of this is Senator Nor ris Sheppard, of Texas, who be- lieves in pumping virtue into the people by legislative process
 He is as pious as Satan when rebuking sin and as orthodox as Barebones himself. His theme is temperance, his method inteln perate. The constant activity of the liquor interests is a peril to free institutions, according to the Chinese Statesmanship which would burn the house to roast the pig, while alcoholic liquor is menace to the nations health, morals and efficiency Orga- 
 nizea labor, cried the gentleman from Texarkana. has been asked to oppose prohibition because bartenders Ind brewery and dis tillery employees are members of unions. And then he blathered thus:
 Labor is asked to imperil it's very existence, to take food from the mouths and clothes from the backs of men, women and chil- dren to sustain a traffic meaning hunger, disease. insanity and death for the masses while liq uor bsrons live in luxury. If the liquor traffic is to be eradicated, the aid of the Federal Govern. ment must be invoked. The partnership between the liquor traffic and the Federal Govern ment is one of the most frightful heritageo of the Civil War"
 To man of Senator Morris Sheppard's stunted intellectual growth and limited mental vision the yaWp of the temperance lec- turer, like the cackle of the barn yard hamlet where he lives when at home, seems the noise of ail the world. Men of his caliber learn nothing. But men of his en vironment-the two-State wilds of Texarkana, where a gentle man who gets drunk in Arkan> saS may sober up in Texas, and vice versa, escaping the Sheriff of each vicinage the while could profit by nothing he might read in the doubtful event that he ever read at all.
