 BREED soWs AND GILTs NOW.
 Now is the time to breed seWs for fall filters. The number of brood soWs in the state is smaller this year than last The pork sup ply must be increased. It is best to wait until gifts are eight months old before breeding. but in view of the shortage of pork this practice should be dropped for the present and animals five and six months old should be mated. Particular care should then be oiven to keep the gilt growing and in thrifty eondi- ton. More care is essential for the young gilt than for the SOW. all though both should always have aond attention. Large filters can be obtained by having tns sows gaining before they are bred. Use only pure bred animals. thus ob- taining more uniform pigs that will mature more quickly with good treatment and grow to larger size.
 Plan on early fall pigs. Sows bred June Is should farroW about October 5.
 SAVE IRISH POTATO, PLANT FALL CROP.
 Save the early crop of Irish po- tatoes and grow fall crop or Ar kansas will face a serious shortage and prohibitive prices. The ex- perience of the best farmers in the state tend to prove that the spring crop can be saved and very good stand can be secured for fall crop by the proper preparation of the seedbed, by the proper care of the potatoes to be used and by using only mature potatoes for seed. Detailed information concerning how to handle the early crop and produce fall crop can be secured by writing to the Acting Director of the Extension Division. Do not forget with the present high pric of potatoes the shortage of acreage on account of the cost of seed and the great demand that will proba- bly, increase rather than di ninish, every farmer should prov de for his own use and be certain to have his own seed next-so spring.
