We MUST DEPEND
UPON OURSEL YES
To Buy Many Supplies May
Be Impossible This Time
Next Year.

The peach season is now opening
up, and the importance Of canning
and drying fruit must not be over,
looked. If you haven't a home can
ming outfit, try and get one, even
if you make it yourself, which
is not hard to do. All the surplus
fruit and vegetables shold be canned
or dried this year to insure food
for winter use. Unfortunately, the
people do not realize that we are in
war, ard what it means to US. Ot
course, they will realize it in less
than a year, whel the hardShips OF
war come to us, but in the mean
time many opportunities will pass
as unheeded. Most likely the Gov
eminent will take over the wheat
crop, and then we will get -four by
apportionment only
Our meat supply is getting low,
and will be lower and the prices
higher. Keep the hogs. Milk and
butter, chickens, ducks, geese, tur-
keys, sweet potatoes, turnipS, onions
canned goods and dried fruits will
play an important part in our food
supply next year, and next year will
soon be here. We must produce
and keep these supplies if we have
them. To buy these things may be
impossible before this time next
year We must not depend upon
others, but upon ourselves. Keep
the milk COWS, the hens and the
brood sows. Make plenty of hay.
Do ot,neslect the pea crop, but
save and pick them all. Prepare
winter oats and a wheat crop. Ark
ansas must make her own wheat
for next year Begin your arrange
ments now. Push your crop and
get the best you can out Of it.
Cultivate it as long as you can with
out damaging it. 1t will pay you.
Let's not be deceived by the appar-
ent high price of cotton. Remem-
ber that we cant eat cotton. High
priced cotton will dOu no good if
we have to spend all we get for it
for food stuff for our stock. By all
means plant plenty of late potatoes.
They will keep and be a good price.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

THOUSANDS LOST
IN ROTTEN eggs
Produce InfectiIe Esss-increase the
Food Supply and Farm
Profits.
Extension Division University Of Ark
anaaS TavaftavilIa

Extension Division University Of ARK
ansas, Fayetteville.
Arkansas farmers lose thousands OF
dollars every summer because the
eggs from the focks spoil before being
marketed The greater part OF this
loss Is due to a partial hatohing OF
fertile eggs which have been allowed
TO become warm enough TO begin to
incubate. Produce infertile eggs and
thus help to increase the food supply
in the state and your farm profits.
Infertile eggs keep best and market
best in summer, while fertile eggs
spoil quickly during hot weather.
Roostsrs Do Not Help the Hens Lay.
Remember the rooster does not
help the hens lay, but he merely fer
tllizes the germ of the egg, which Is
unnecessary if the eggs are not to be
used for Matching purposes. The fer
tile germ in hot weather quickly be-
comes a blood ring which spoils the
egg for food and for the market. Sum-
mer heat has the same effect on fer
tile eggs as the hen or incubator.
InfertlIe Eggs VIII Not Make
Blood Rings.
Produce infertile eggs because the
infertile germ will not produce a
blood ring and, = consequently, an in
fertile egg will not spell as quickly
as one that is fertile. Cook, can, or
pen your roosters as soon as the
Matching season is over. Farmers
are urged to follow the following
simple rules which will cost nothing
but time and thought and will add
great deal to the profits from the
poultry:
1. Provide plenty Of clean nests;
have one nest for every four hens
and keep the straw clean.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily dur
ing warm or rainy weather
3. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
place and market them not less than
twice a week during hot weather.
4. Dispose OF the roosters as soon
az the Matching season is over; pro-
duce infertile eggs.
s. Preserve eggs for the family for
winter use the same day they are
laid; remember, only clean mot
washedl, fresh, uncracked eggs can
be preserved.

HoiIanders Discuss Parliamentary
.. Motion to csnsure Monareh.

AMSTERDAM 10y mail), Feb. fs.-
Should q Queen 60 skating when her
country is in so serious q position As
Holland? The question has. been
raised IN Parliament by q motion to
censeire Queen wiihelmina for going
to skate at Leeuwaarden two, days
after Germany's submarine. warfare
was announced. -'f -
whils there 10 no chance of the
motion even coming to q vote, II has
been the subject Of much discussion.
Supporters OF the motion declare
skating and ice sports, are undignihed
and imply neglect Of state affairs by
the Queen. The Queens supporters
reply that her trip 10 Hollands most
famous ice course was only natural
in view of the national importance"
OF skating in the Netherlands.
They declare that Queen wilheI-
nina Is universally known as a most
conscientious and painstaking SOW
ereign, that she frequently devotes
eighteen hours . day to state bust
ness, and that the Queens visit to the
skating carnival was advisable a. be-
ing the best way to indicate to the

sity for immediate alarm over the
