USE FERTILIZERS FOR FALL
 GRAIN CROPS-ORDERN NOW

Fertilizers for fall grain crops pay in Arkansas even when prices are normal, according to the experiments conducted by the College of Agricul- ture at Fayetteville. With the pres ent prices, certainly fertilizer will pay, and it should be ordered at once, since the freight shortage will un- doubtedly cause delay in delivery. Most of the soils of Arkansas are de- fcient in both nitrogen and phos- phorus. It IS recommended that for upland soils which have not been manured recent, 400 pounds of a 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 be used instead of the cotton seed meal on soils which are not too sandy. For river bottom soils and the better grades of upland soil, acid phosphate alone at the rate of 150 to 250 pounds per acre will give good results.
 Raw phosphate has been found to yield profitable returns, but it is slow CT in its action, sometimes requiring two or three years to produce results. In the present crisis therefore, it is lrged that the more readily available acid phosphate be used in order that
 arge, immediate results may be had.

\ REASON FOR CLEAN
 ING LIP THE OLD GARDEN

The garden should be cleaned up and the crop remnants destroyed as soon as the crops are gathered. If this is not done, cabbage. stumps will breed enough harlequin cabbage bugs to give trouble later on in the patch of turnip greens. The same patch may become lousy through migrations of plant lice from the cabbage stumps. Most of the harlequin cabbage bugs which will give trouble next year will breed to matuzity on cabbage stumps. Cucumber and melon vines will breed most of the squash bugs which will winter over next years crop. Pull up these vines as soon as the crop is gathered.

There was much fierce lighting and many men on both sides were killed and wounded, put the German loss were re- ported to be much greater than the allies.

Owing to the war, and on ac- count of the unusual drought we nave had this year, there are, necessarily, going to be some hard times in this part of the country next year, if not before. There are portions of Drew county where there IS not enough feed-stuff made to last until Christmas, and the sole de. pendence for another year will be to draw on some more favor ed section; and 10 do this will re quire a deal of cash or an expen- sive credit. Food and feed. stuffs are going to be high the coming year. and the hardship which will be entailed upon the people will be a telling one. In order to bridge over, 1t will re. guire the strietest economy and the greatest saving. If the op portunity is offered, winter crops of oats, rye and wheat should be planted. These will help keer up your livestock through tht winter months.
