PLAN FOR FALL SEED OATS.

lt 10 liilpSi dtlVG tlldl lllc All kdH- sas land owner plan on an in creased acreage of small grains Every one should plant more oats, since they are adapted to wide range of soils, and if planted early enough and on a we'll prepared seed bed the danger from the win ter killing, even In the northern part of the state, is reduced to a minimum. The safest date of seeding will vary from September 25 in Northwest Arkansas to about November 10 in the southermost section. The seed should be plant ed with grain drill since plants seeded in the furroW are better protected from winter killing than if seeded broadcast on the surface. The compact seed bed is very lm- portant, and winter oats planted on well drained humus filled soils come through severe seasons bet ter than oats on soils in poor phys ical condition. Winter Turf and Culberson varieties of oats are most resistant to winter killing. Red Rust Proof and its different yarities, Appler, Cook, Van Croft, Ferguson q and Falghrum, are probably most dependable for grain production in the central and southern sections of the state
 ORCHARD AND GARDEN SUGGESTIONS.
 The greater part of the Arkansas peach crop has gone to market and most of them have brought at least fair price. Many of the orchards have dead or dying trees in them; also quite few broken branches occur here and there. All of these should be taken out of the orchard and burned, since. if left in the field, they will serve as breeding places for disease and insects.
 The season is now very favorable for the planting of a fall garden. See that the grasses and weeds are removed from the garden, also all of the decaying vegetables. Plant beans, sweet corn, cucum- bers, squashes, beets and cabbage, and keep these we'll cultivated through the season. Remember that the time for planting these things is getting short so the work should be done at once.
 Do not forget to save your own supply of garden seeds this year. Beans, tomatoes and cantaloupe seed may be saved now.
 Have you canned all of the veg etables you will need for winter? If not, your time is running short and remember that the price is go- ing to be higher this winter for canned goods than ever before. If you do not can a supply you may be forced to live without them.
 LIME KEEPS wERvILs FROM SEED.
 Many farmers have long used the carbon bsulphide method of keeping weevils from seed subject to attack from these pests. How ever, Prof. Geo. G. Becker. of the University of Arkansas, says that the lime method is as good and much more easily used. He rec ommend one part by weight of air slacked lime to two parts by weight of the grain or seed. The seed must be kept in the lime from the time it is stored until ready to plant.
 EDITORS BOOST AGRICULTURE.
 During the past year the editors of Arkansas have undoubtedly printed more agricultural news than the newspaper men in any of the Southern states, according to B. c. Riley, editor of publica- lions with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas. who says that the county seat papers published total of three and one- half miles of agriculture informa-
