IS YOUR LAND SOUR?

If your land is sour or lacks humus or is deficient in nitrogen, you cannot expect the best crop either in the field or in the garden. Do not buy a great amount of expensive fertilizer and apply 1t indiscriminately The cost of fertilizer will greatly reduce your profits and certainly it should never be applied unless you are ab- solutely certain that it is necessary. Before it is too late, send samples of soil to the Soils Laboratory at the College of Agriculture, Fayetteville, where the soils expert for the Uni versity, will examine your soil and give you definite information and tell you whether your soil needs lime, humus, or nitrogen, or all of then. Send a card today and ask for spe- cific information concerning the mail ing of samples.

IT ALL DEPENDS

Charged with cruelty to animals and using loud and profane language on the street, man was brought be- fore police court. One of the wit nesses was pious old negro. who was subjected to short cross-eXam- ination.
 Did the defendant use improper language while he was beating his horse?" asked the lawyer.
 Wal, he did talk mighty loud ,suh.
 Did he indulge in profanity ?"
 The old darlley seemed puzzled. The lawyer put the question another way:
 What I mean, Uncle Abe, is, did he use words that would be proper for your minister to use in a ser mon?"
 "0h yes, yes suh,' the old man re- piled with a grin that revealed the full width of his immense mouth; but O co'se dey'd have ter be ranged diff f'runt."

TEST COTTON SEED BEFORE
PLANTING

Just any kind of seed will not pro- duee good crop. It will pay to test all cotton seed before planting. In the springs of 1914-15 the Arkansas Ex- pertinent Station tested cotton seed from more than TO sources each sea son. These seeds were taken from lots of seed that were intended to be used for planting. Careful germination tests showed a variation of from 19 per cent to 98 per cent germination. Cotton seed seldom show higher than from 75 to B per cent germination, but if planted it should not show less than TO per cent. No man wants to
 plant seed that will not come up. The only way to find out in advance is to test. 4 simple tester consisting of two plates and an old towel, or other absorbent cloth, is sufficient for any farmer to test his cotton seed Test your cotton seed. Consult your county agent or write to the Extension Di- vision, College of Agriculture, Fay etteville, for instructions for testing.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DR. J. II. wArsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in har- mony. They're companions, the skin being the second partner. If we are anxious to keep well and preserve the vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the blood from noxious clements, we must pay special attention to good action of the skin and to sec that the kidneys are flushed so as to eliminate the poisons from the blood.
 Sweating, by hard worl, or in a bath, at least once week, helps to keep the skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure water with meals and between meals. Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug store Anuric, which will help flush the kidneys and the intestines. You will find that Anuric is many times more active than hthia and that 1t dissolves uric acid as hot water docs sugar.

SAVE YOUR ORCHARD

Save your orchard fruits, small fruits and vegetables. They are worth too much to permit the insects and plant diseases to destroy them. Do you know what pests attack your or chard and garden products, when, where and how they attack them? If you do not, write to the Extension Di- vision of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and ask for a spraying manual. It will not only tell you how to recognize these destructive agents but it will tell you how to spray your orchard products as well as straw berries, tomatoes, and other vege- tables and truck crops This calendar gives instructions not only for apply ing but for mixing the spray mater ials, The Spraying Manual is free for .he asking.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
 ;, ON WIPES DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivei up corns or calluses so they
 lift off with fingers.

Ouch m l This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that few drops of drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal ius stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callus dries up and lifts right off without pain.
 He says freezone dries immediately and never inAamcs or even irritates the surrounding skin A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store. but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels If your druggist doesn't have freezone tell him to order a small bottle for you.

GOOD SEED VERY IMPORTANT

If you expect to raise a maximum crop of cotton, or anything else, you must take great deal of care in the preparation of the seed bed. A good seed bed is jdst as essential to your success as good seeu. Loose ground does not constitute a good seed bed Hard ground is not a good seed bed. 4 seed bed fit for planting any class of farm seeds must be firm, not loose and not hard, and pulverized on top. A hard seed bed is very undesirable and will result in smaller crop.

THE WAR SUMMARY.

Although the Berlin military writers
are admitting that the Germans can
h ardly regain the initiative on the
western front, the German high COM
mand is evidently doing it's utmost to
keep the British from making the best
use Of their advantage in Flanders.
Crown Prince Rupprecht has been
launching attack after attack upon
Field Marshal Haie's troops in their
advance positions in an effort to dis
arrange tthe British plans. Similar
tactics were adopted last week on the
eve of the renewed British thrust.
The record shows the efforts of
last week to have been futile. 1t is
too ,e iy yet for the effect of the pres
ent attempt to be developed. The
British commander, however, reports
that the attacks themselves. five in
number, were complete failures. The
attacks were made on the British po-
sitions along the Ypres Menin road
and at the southeastern edge of Poly
gon wood.

(By the associated press. Once
more the Germans have essayed,
in a series of counter attacks, to
break the new British lines be-
tween Polygon wood and Tower
hamlets, across the open road to
the south. Again they have been
hurled back with heavy losses. The
principal result of three bitter at
tacks by the enemy between dawn
and mid-afternoon has been the
merciless shattering of his ranks
and a still further advance over
the front south of Polygon wood
by the British, who pushed their
line forward some hundred yards
in depth behind the fleeing
Germans.
The first assault was delivered at
6:15 o'clock this morning. The enemy
advanced in three waves toward the
British but Immediately met with
such fierce fire of rifles and artil-
lery that he was compelled to retire.
II was apparent, however, that the

attempt and the big British guns

shells as is seldom seen along the
