KILL THE TICK AND
BOOST FOOD SUPPLY

Tick eradication should be given an
important place among the measures
to be taken up by Arkansas commit
ties to meet rising food conditions
An increased supply of meat is one
of the country's most urgent needs;
and the south cannot do its share
toward furnishing this increased meat
supply until the tick has been put out
of the way
1t is proved every day in the south
that beef cattle that are being rob-
bed of blood by ticks will not grow
and fatten properly and that mich
cows subject to the same drain give
only scanty supplies of milk. They
cannot efficiently turn into food for
soldiers and civilians the hundreds of
pounds of grass, hay and grain which
they consume.
They are MASTERS made so by the
ticks that feed on them.
Now that each pound of meat and
each glass of milk takes on an added
value among the nations resources,
more cattle must be raised and each
animal must be made to put on as
great a weight of meat or yield as
much milk, as is economically prac
ticable If this is to be accomplished
in the South the first step must be
drive against ticks. The methods
for getting rid of these expensive
pests are we'll known and are already
being made efficient use of in many
southern communities. Dipping watts
| filled with solutions that will destroy
the ticks on cattle, and public in
terest which will insist that all cattle
be dipped are the essentials; and
when these have been acquired in a
community new day for cattle pro-
duction is sure to dawn. Cattle that
have been freed from ticks and kept
free-as they may be at small cost
put on weight rapidly and make cat
tie raising among the aboundant feed
supplies of the south truly profit
able enterprise.

IMPORTANT TO SAVE
THE FARM MACHINERY

Only recently, a manufacturer of
farm implements stated that pig-iron
which foremrly sold for So per ton
is now selling Off more than $58 a
ton, and that this increase in price
will practically prohibit the manufac-
ture of great number of cheapre
grades of farm implements next year.
Consequently it will pay to take good
care of those which you now possess.
Don't forget that the open-air ma
chinery shed offers very little pro-
lection and that rust costs the ave-
age land owner in this state as much
as he wear and tear necessitatld by
actual work. Keep the machinery
CREASED and under shelter if you
expect to have anything to work with
IN the next two or three years. 1t
probably will not be a question of
price altogether since, if pig-iron is
not available the manufacturer can
not make machinery regardless of
what the farmer is able and willing
to pay for it.

CHEAP FEED FOR HOGS
AN IMPORTANT ITEM

During August and September the
farmer should find time to provide
feed for the late fall and wintel
months. Many farmers have a few
hogs for killing purposes. Store feed
is so high priced that it is almost
prohibitive. The only cheap feed that
can be had this year is pasture, and
it cannot be had in most instances
unless planting is done this month or
next.
Nothing will make more hog pas
ture than rape, if it is seeded on
good soil and especially an soil that
is inclinde to be a little moist. An
acre of rape ought to furnish one
half the pastuer for five or six one
hundred pound shoats during the win
ter. The seed of rape is compare
lively cheap. which is big item this
season. Rape makes splendid mix
ture with red rust proof oats or win
ter wheat as winter grazing crop.

COLUMBIA WOODMEN
ORGANIZER IN TOWN

J. o. WATSON special field represen-
tative of the ColumbianWood ar
rived in Newark Wednesday and ex-
poets to remain in town several days
for the purpose of organizing a
lodge here.
The Columbian Woodmen stands
well up towards the top among the
fraternal insurance companies doing
business in the United States. The
home office of the society is in Allan
ia, Georgia, where it was organized
fifteen years ago. 1t operates in
twenty-three states of the Union, and
has 154 lodges in Arkansas with an
approximate membership of 5000.
Mr.. C. N. Wilhoite, with headquart-
ers at Little Rock, is state manager
of the order and he is placing some
of the best known insurance men in
the state in the field in campaign
for new members. Hon. Earle w.
Hodges was recently appointed Emf
nent Lecturer for Arkansas, and his
wide acquaintance and we'll known
ability make him an ideal man for
the place. Mr.. WATSON says he is
already meeting with considerable
encouragement and hopes to organ
ize good strong lodge here. He
was formerly in the newspaper bust
ness at different places in this section
of the state, and can tell you all
about the merits of the Columbian
Woodmen.

CROP CONDITIONS
VERY FAVORABLE
U. S. Department of Agriculture says
Crop Outlook in Arkansas is
Unusually Good

According to a report issued yes
terady by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, conditions are
excellent for all corps in Arkansas
excepting that there was too much
rain for cotton in few places. Cot
ton is still improving in the northern
part of the state. In the southern
half it is good in most places; but
reports from several districts say
that moisture is excessive; that cot
ton is shedding and that the boil we
vii is doing considerable damage.
Corn is excellent in north and
northwest portions and very good
elsewhere.
Rice is in excellent condition eb-
cept in some portions it is late be-
cause of late flooding, making it a
little doubtful whether all of it will
ripen before frost. Rice harvest is
expected to begin in about 80 days.
Meadows, sweet potatoes truck, mel
ons, peanuts and sorghum are in fine
condition. Late potatoes are coming
up nicely due to. rains. Peaches
are about gathered and apples are
fairly good, the latter being inferior
in several localities because of the
injury by hail.
