HOME GROWN
 SEED IS BEST
w. N. ADAMS, OF THE ARKADEL- PHlA MILLING COMPANY, ADJ ViSES AGAINST iMPORTA-
 TON OF SEED WHEAT.

A warning to Arkansas farmers against paying exorbitant prices for supposedly fancy seed wheat and also against buying Northern seed wheat, by w. N. Adams, general manager of the Philadelphia Willing Company.
 MT. Adams says that he believes that first-class re-cleaned No. 1 Red Winter seed wheat is better than any strain of Northern wheat that can be bought and that some of the largest yields secured in Arkansas this year were from this class of wheat.
 "I have just received letter from friend who wrote that he had paid $5 a pound for some of Burbank's new variety of wheat" wrote Mr Adams. "He wrote me saying that he presumed that this was a case of fool and his money soon parting, and in my reply l told him that he had expressed 1t very aptly. The govern ment has just issued warning against paying exorbitant prices for new va rieties of wheat l have never seen any wheat that was worth $5 bushel much less S5 pound.
 "The government also has issued a bulletin advising wheat raisers to secure their seed from point as near their own locality as possible. The bulletin says that variety of wheat may produce very well in California and still be an utter failure in Kan sas. It has been our experience that wheat raised in Arkansas and accli- mated will produce much better re- suits than wheat raised in any other state.
 Also, there seems to be a fad in sowing smooth head wheat. We call this fad, because in the first place it is more or less fad for growers to insist on a pure strain of seed wheat. We believe that especially on bottom lands better results can be se- cured from bearded wheat and from the best information that we can gath CT, the yield from bearded varieties this year has been better than that from the smooth-headed varieties. Wo believe that this is due to the fact that the beard protects the head. es. pecially from heavy dews and from birds"

COTTON IS LATE,
 AND PRICE HIGH
LESS THAN oNE-StxTH AS MUCH GlNNED IN COUNTY THIS YEAR THAN IN THE
 LAST SEASON.

That the cotton crop in Arkansas will be very short this season is indi- cated by the reports of cotton ginned to date. The crop is very late, but if is opening rapidly, and it is expected that practically all of it will be out of the field by January l. In many sections it will be picked and ginned much earlier.
 Prior to September 25 there had been only 466 bales of cotton ginned in Pulaski county, as compared with 5,76S for the corresponding period last year.
 In Arkansas for the same period, there had been 4S,343 bales ginned this season, compared with 300,95f for last year and 60,96O for the year 1915.
 Little Rocks highest record in spot cotton since the establishment of reg ular quotations was established Tues day, when 26.50 cents per pound was marked up for middling uplands, or the equivalent of S13250 for the regu- lation bale, exclusive of the seed. At present local quotations the seed from such a bale would he worth about $34, making total of $16l.50 for lint and seed on 500-pound bale.

KEROSENE FOR 4
 PRESERYATIVE
DIR. VIM. F. MANGLEsDoRF TRIES OUT A NEW WRINKLE AND BE- LlEVES IT WILL BE BETTER
 THAN THE OLD ONES.

At the Arkansas State Capitol, in the office of the State Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agrical- ture, Is a display of fruit and farm products that is credit to any state. The fruit is put up in jars which are arranged in an artistic display that makes the world wonder at Arkansas fruit
 In the past fruit has been put up in alcohol or formaldehyde preparations, and while both have worked well, neither has kept the frui1 from year 10 year with it's natural color.
 MT. Wm. F. Manglesdorf. of the Manglesdorf Laboratories. ls the state chemist. and of late has been putting up the fruit. He is experimenting with other mixtures in order to find one which will keep the fruit coloring intact. His latest is kerosene, just plain old coal oil, and Dr. Mangles- dorf believes it will do the work, or do 1t well enough to consider 1t as substitute for something that is so much higher.

FOOD SITUATION
 LOADED WITH DYNAMITE
General Manager. ,

Feod saving is a war service when it comes to feeding our troops and our allies.
 Dat food saving also has a practical business side.
 For if we wisely use this years crop of foodstuffs in ways to make the supply go round among the hun gTy nations, and also keep ourselves weH nourished at reasonable prices ard this is the whole purpose of the United States Food Administration in a nntshell-we will maintain our in- dustrial stability
 The food situation in every nation today is loaded with dynamite. Rus sia's revolution, with it's industrial diseolation, began with food difficult ties. Germany's chief hope for de- feating England was to produce similar turmoil through disturbance to her food supply. The food situa- ton in Germany itself is probably the most denite factor making for peace.
 To think that we have no such dy- nanaite in our business situation is to he blind to the very foundations of business itself Food saving is more than war It is the most practical kind of business and calls for the very best leadership from every American business man.

LOOK FOR GRAIN
 TO BE CONTROLLED
GOVERNMENT WILL PROBABLY TAKE OVER ALL ELEVATORS, MILLS AND GRAINS, ACCORD
 ING TO LOCAL DEALERS.

Two local millers, Guy F. Williams and Guy Cameron, officers of the Geo. Neimeyer Grain Company and the Hayes Grain & Commission Co.,, have returned from Buffalo, where they at tended the national convention of grain dealers, and government control over all grains to be a reality in the near future, according to their belief.
 While in Buffalo they heard Julius F. Barnes, of the Food Control Com mission, who has had charge of the grain business. MT. Barnes spoke in behalf of Herbert Hoover, and all his remarks were to the effect that ta properly conserve the supply of grain, the government would ultimately be forced to take over all grains, even to corn and oats. The Little Rock CTS came back to Little Rock with the firm belief that before the end of the year the government will be ope- rating all mills and elevators and the owners will be allowed a certain prof it on their investment for the use of the property.
 "If the government takes over the mills" says Mr. Williams, 'it will al- so take over the bag factories and the allied industries, for it would not be complete without this"
 Claude Burrow, local broker, and Collier Wenderoth, manager of the Fort Smith branch of the Hayes Grain & Commission Company, were also members of the party. They stopped in St. Louis and went over tho grain exchange, and did the same thing in Chicago. They combined a bit of pleasure along with the Dusi- ness, and returned to Arkansas to do all the business they can before the government comes along and takes over corn and oats.

INTEREST IN
 CLUB EXHIBIT
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE WILL BE DONE TO MAKE THE EXHIBIT OCTOBER 25.27 THE GREAT
 EST YET.

Miss Minnie T. Allen and M c. Graham, county agents say that the boys and girls and the Women's Home Demonstration Clubs are talk ing a great deal of interest in the Club Exhibit to be held at the City Auditorium, under the City Hall, Oc- tober the 18th, 26th and 27th.
 No pains are being spared to make this one of the very best exhibits of the kind ever held. The fact that so many of the boys were furnished with good seed corn and pure bred pigs will make that part of the exhibit 6 feature. says MT. Graham.
 Miss Allen hopes to also have some eye openers in the way of canning club and woman's home demonstration club exhibits.
 MT. Graham states that he is very busy arranging the booths, etc, for the exhibits.
 The premium list was published in The Pulaskian two weeks ago; 2,500 copies have been distributed and more may be obtained from the county agents office.
 MT Graham wants to call the spe- eial attention of the boys to the sub stantial prizes offered for the best record books. If you have no book write him for one

SEED WHEAT FOR
 FARMERS AT COST

NJ. c. Graham, county agent, who has been enabled through the Little Rock Clearing House Association. to furnish several hundred bushels of seed wheat to the farmers at cost. states that he would like to have those farmers who have not yet gotten their wheat to make arrangements to do so at as early date as possible.
 The price of the wheat is S2.90 a bushel, and to responsible farmers time for payment is given. Arrange ments can be made to secure some of this wheat with Mir Graham any time next week, at his office, across the hall from the Tax Assessor, in tho Old Court House.
