WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.

Those who needed the advice of the United States Department of Agri- culture to plant gardens this year are now wondering how best to preserve their surplus fruits and vegetables. The specialists of the department. who have tried out various methods Tor canning, preserving, drying, pick ling and making jam, have recently issued bulletins showing how this work may be done successfully. Any one can have these publications for the asking, so ignorance of the pro- per procedure will not serve as a legitimate excuse for allowing any garden produce to spoil this year.
 Farmers Bulletin S53, Home Can ming of Fruits and Vegetables" shows how fruit may be canned especially under conditions existing in the South Some products in that section, the bulletin states, should be given inter- mittent sterilization. This consists of applying boiling temperature to products already packed in containers for certain period on each of three successive days. The bulletin also gives tried and tested recipes for making jams, fruit buffers, marma- lades, preserves and jellies.
 When canning is not feasible or cans and jars are too expensive, dry ing offers a means of saving large quantities of surplus products which go to waste each year. Drying also affords way of conserving portions of food too small for canning. Dry ing may be done in the sun, over the kitchen stove, or before an electric fan. Farmers Bulletin S41 tells just how to do this, using one of the driers now on the market or a homemade ap- paratus.
 These bulletins are sent out upon request to the Division of Publica- tions, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Send for some copies for yourself and tell your neighbors about them. Fruits and vegetables preserved in any of these ways will help you in planning your three meals day next winter.

FARMERS HELP MAKE
 ARKANSAS TICK FREE

On July. 2nd systmatic dipping of cattle was begun in p counties and it is expected that they will be released from quarantine January 1st. At that time the remaining counties should be ready for the final work necessary to make Arkansas tick-free by Decem- Der, 1918. This is a tremendous task, but with the cooperation of the farm CTS it can be done, in the opinion of Dr. A. E. Wight, chief federal in- spector, who, with Dr. R. M. Cow, state veterinarian with the University of Arkansas, has charge of the work in this state. Every farmer in the tick territory should dip faithfully and consider his part in the work a real investment since it will undoubt- edly give quick and direct returns in the form of improved productivity of his cattle, which, based on the eXper- fence of the eleven other Southern states that havt done systematic work can be conSerVatlVely estimated at $500 a head for the first year the territory is tick free. In these same states, native cattle once free from ticks have eventually increased 1914 per cent or Is of their original weight while the average milk produced from the native dairy cattle in these states has been 23 per cent or IA more. The cattle of both beef and dairy types have increased 26.9 per cent in value since the eradication of the tick. Ar kansas farmers can expect similar re- suits.
 Now is the time to lay a firm foun- dation for building up more profit able cattle raising industry in Arkan sas.

on any street, or the collecting of funds subscribed for oil True. under the law, the street committee is charg- ed with the duty of seeing that the oil IS properly laid and the marshal is charged with the duty of keeping an account of the amount of oil distrib uted in the residence districts in order that the city shall know how much she must pay, the city having agreed to pay one cent per gallon on all oil placed on streets in the residence dis tricts.
 One thing is certain and that is if a man pays for certain number of gallons of oil it should be distributed where he wants it and it does seem that residents of a certain street could get together, decide how much oil they want on that street and have one of their number go with the tank and see that the oil is put down.
 It has been charged that the people residing on Christian Ridge received more oil for their money than anyone else, and it is charged that because large number of the city officials re- side on that street they received more than their share of oil. These charges are absolutely unfounded in fact, and are made without taking the trouble to inquire into the matter The first oil placed on Christian Ridge last year was not the oil ordered, the bal ance of the car was rejected by the purchasers and compromise effected for that already used and the people on Christian Ridge were assessed an additional amount to pay for that used.

 Mayor.
