continue high, and there will not be
much increase in their production
for food as the demand for Matching
will cut down the supply.
There is much room for improve
ment in the feeding Of poultry. Hens
need variety OF food and in the
summer, IL given the chance, they
will pick up more than half of their
living. In the winter they should
be supplied with vegetables, chop

feed will be wasted.
Speaking Of the show OF the North
Dakota Poultry association Mr.. Rob-
erts said this lis the eighth exhibit
he has judged. The displays have al
ways been good and some have been
larger and more varied than the one
this year. The fowls in this years
display, however, are of fine appear
ance and the best showing made Of
any year of the varieties adapted to
this part of the country.
Asked what is the best breed for
this locality, Mr.. Roberts side-step-
ped with There is no best" He then
explained bHhL sOHl5 ClaSsSs are pSh~
ter for one purpose than another.
The Leghorns, the Mediterranean
class, for instance, are in the long
run the best layers: Some Of the
general purpose fowls, that are the
best when the object is to produce
a large amount Of meat, have laid
as many eggs in a test as hens Of
other classes. One trouble is that
hens Of these breeds insist upon set
ting and in this way break in on the
laying.

Talk on Potatoes.
George w. Dixon, OF Watertown,
master OF the South Dakota State
Grange, was one Of the speakers at
the afternoon session of the Tri-
state Grain Growers association
yesterday. Mr.. Dixon has specialized
in the production Of potatoes with
great success and he gave the dele
gates the advantage of his experien-
ces in a talk in which he advised the
sticking to one or two varieties. the
careful selection Of seed and the
proper care OF the soil.
Next year. he said, fit will nav
you men who are raising potatoes
to make an effort to get a uniform
crop. The government grades will
be extended to the shipping END of
the game and it is doubtful If you
will be able to procure cars for ship
ment IL your tubeTs are not of
good grade and carefully selected.
One Of the best ways TO assure your
self that you will have good crop
is to be careful in the selection of
your seed. Care should be used i'm
the preparation of seed also. Cutting
is one Of the big things TO be looked
after" he said. Haphazard cutting

John Scott, of Gilby, told how and
why he raised sheep. Before start
ing on that subject Mr.. Scott said
he thought the reason for the high
prices for everything is the ability
to buy.
Mr.. SCOTS reason for engaging in
sheep raising was to keep the. weeds
from gaining the ascendancy on his
farm. He bought the sheep to kill
the weeds so he could raise more
wheat. Last fall he sold two carloads
Of lambs for $500 and the wool
from his band brought $500 more
making a total Of $4,000 from the
sheep last year. At present prices
Mr.. Scott said he would not advise
anyone to go into sheep raising.
Mr.. Scott said he had his entire
farm fenced in S0-acre tracts and
followed a six-year rotation plan,
two years in grass and pasture, one
year in corn, to cultivate out the
wild oats that remained in the
ground, and three years Of small
grain to follow.
Roys' and Girls Work.
D. w. Galehouse, leader Of boys
and girls work of the extension de-
partment Of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, advised interesting
the boys and girls in things that in
terest them to keep them on the
farm. "Give them a calf, a pig or a
plot Of ground so they will have
something of their own on the farm, ="
was the advice by the speaker.
Speaking of the success of the
boys work, Mr.. Galehouse said one
North Dakota boy raised 70 bushels
of mature corn last year on an acre
Of ground. and way up in Walsh
county another boy produced 55
bushels, practically all of Ii suitable
for seed. The garden and poultry
projects were also advised for the
boys and girls.
Group organization and co-opera-
tive work was favored instead Of in
dividuaI effort. Under this plan bet
ter work is done and by organizing
clubs a knowledge Of parliamentary
law is gained. With the club plan
the follow-up work is an important
feature.

FARMERS PLANTING
MORE COTTON NOW
erEn MAN SAYS THAT THERE is
iEss FOOD AND FEED STUFF
PLANTED THAN THERE
WAS LAST YEAR.

Notwithstanding the advice of agri-
cultural experts, economists and bust
ness men, the farmers, as a rule, are
increasing the cotton acreage of the
stafe. This is the testimony of Chas.
offer. the seed man, who says that
be has sold great deal more cotton
seed this year than last, and less seed
for food and feed crops. Cotton seed
has been $3.50 bushel this year, as
compared with s1.25 under normal
conditions.
The farmers prosperity, say those
who have made close study of con-
ditions, is largely due to diversified
tion of crops during the last few
wears, the farmer is turning his back
on the very thing that has made him
prosperous. This is deprecated by
the Profitable Farming Bureau and
the State Council of Defense as moth
ing short of unpatriotic.
"The South must feed itself next
winter or go hungry" seems to be
the general verdict of all outside the
mass of farmers themselves.

FARMFRS SIGN FOOD
PRODUCTION PLEDGE

County agents, county and commune
ity leaders throughout Arkansas are
busy distributing and giving the far
mers of Arkansas an opportunity to-
sign the Food Production Pledge for
1918. This pledge calls for specific
information concerning the number of
acres that each farmer will devote to
food production during the year. The
pledges signed in each county will be
gone over by a local committee, and
men who show desire to help out in
the present crisis and will do their
part in an effort to make Arkansas
feed herself will be given honor cards
showing that their farms are pledged
to produce a generous share of food
and feed crops. Every farmer should
have one of those honor cards on dis
play before the planting seasons is
over. A sample of the Food Produc
ton Pledge card and Honor card will
be found ON display in this newspaper
office.

Until JULY FIRST
PATRIOTIC DUTY OF ARKANSAS
WOMEN TO EXERCISE THE
RIGHT OF PRIMARY
SUFFRAGE.

Among other obligations that have
come to the women of Arkansas since
our entrance into the Great War, that
of suffrage is the most important. For
1t is an obligation, no less than a right
and privilege, and every woman in
the state is urged by the State Suf-
frage Central Committee to consider
it from that viewpoint
There are a few easily understood
facts that should appeal to these thou
sands of new voters in Arkansas:
According to the ruling of Attorney
General Arbuckle, women otherwise
qualified may pay their poll taxes,
without penalty, up to the day of cleo
ton, to vote in the primary election
of May %.
Poll taxes for this year may be paid
without penalty up to July 1, which
will qualify for subsequent primaries,
including the municipal primaries,
which usually begin with Little Rock
in December.
1t has been held by the attorney
SCAClol CDdI AIhdlSdS SOlul6TS OuCSlu6
the state cannot vote in Arkansas
elections, as the nonresident voters
act applies only to electors away
from home, but inside the confines
of the state. This will deprive the
state of thousands of voters.
Arkansas is one of the seven states
where aliens are permitted to vote
it is expected this will be remedied
by the next Legislature, as it has been
done recently by the Texas Legisla-
ture.
These two facts are further reasons
why every woman of Arkansas should
esteem it her patriotic duty to pay
her poll-tax and cast her vote in the
ensuing primaries, that loyal Ameri.
canism may have strong and depend.
able ally in maintaining the balance
of power.
