RYE ALWAYS SAFE-SHOULD BE
 PLANTED ON EVERY FARM.
By l.. w. Osborn, Arkansas Expert
 ment Station

By l.. w. Osborn, Arkansas EXperi- ment Station.
 If every Arkansas farmer knew the value of rye, the crop would be soWn on every farm. This crop grows dur ing cooler weather of winter than any other winter growing plants. It sell dom or never winter kills. It may be seeded early in fall to provide late fall, winter and early spring pasture. It may be seeded later than other ce- reals and still survive to provide late winter and spring grazing. It grows well on poor lands and will come through under less favorable condi- tions, so far as seed bed preparation and general soil conditions are, con- cerned, than other cereals.
 Seed is comparatively creap and can be used economically on large acre. ages. On poor lands. especially when grown in combination with hairy vetch, it is wonderful possibility to begin soil improvement, rotating with peas.
 Seed is sown at the rate of four to six pecks per acre, the heavier rate of seeding to be preferred If seeding is done late. Sow broadcast on poor land. For best results, seed as soon after the first killing frost as possi- ble, but seed may be sown later than wheat, otherwise the culture of the two crops is quite the same. The Alp bruzzi variety is fine because it makes more select growth in spring and natures earlier than most strains Of common rye.
 Present experiments with regional strains at the Arkansas Experiment Station indicate that so far as soil improvement or pasture are concern ed, that most strains of common win ter rye may be used to good advan- tage. :,

FARMERS SHOULD
 SAVE COTTON SEED
Home Grcs.n Seed Should Be Provid.
 ed For Next Years Planting.
By w. C. Lassetter, Director Eatep
 sion Division, l.. of 4


 Cotton growers of Arkansas should not let the high price paid for cotton seed tempt them to sell all of their product or depend on the last pick ings for seed. Every farmer should save enough seed for next year, and this should be the best seed It is a well known fact that q variety that has made good under local conditions on the home place will prove more sat isfactory in the majority of cases than seed brought in from an unknown source. In addition, seed bought lat er is very apt to be much higher in price than that sold now. Those who have sold seed up to this time and from late pickings must be careful to pick seed only from the best stocks. Do not wait until seed from frost, dis ease, immature and insect damaged from them mixed with good seed The productive strength of cotton can be maintained only by planting the very best seed that is possible to obtain. The use of poor seed for planting pur- poses will lower the production of cotton an necessarily result in loss to the cotton grower.
 It should be remembered that field selection of seed always pays the planter big returns for his time and trouble. Remember it will not be good farm practice for any man to sell all his cotton seed this fall with the view of buying planting seed next spring, unless he has a very inferior variety and intends to make a change in seed. By all means do not let the present high prices lead you to sell the best seed from the farm.

FERTILIZERS FOR FALL GRAIN
 CROPS PAY.
By De F. Hungerford, Arkansas Experiment Station.


 Arkansas must not only increase its acreage of small grain, but every acre should be made to produce it's maxi mum yield. Experiments conducted by the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas indicated that when prices are normal, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers can be used with profit on winter wheat. With prices such as they are at present the prof it's would be very much greater.
 Most of the soils of Arkansas are deficient in! phosphorus. It is recom- mended that for upland soils which have not been manured recently, 400 pounds of mixture containing equal parts of acid phosphate and cotton seed meal be used. Nitrate of soda at the rate of 100 pounds per acre may he, used instead of the cotton seed meal on soils which are not too sandy. For river bottom soils and the bet ter grades of upland soil, acid phos- phate alone at the rate of 150 to 250 pounds per acre will give good re- suits.
 Raw rock phosphate has been found to yield profitable returns, but 1t IS slower in it's action, sometimes requir- ing two or three years to produce re- suits. In the present crisis, there tore, 1t is urged that the more readily available acid phosphate be used Tn order that large, immediate returns may be had.
