FARMING HINTS

in Arkansas. Plant something right away. Soy Beans and peanuts will be very profitable if planted now. Sorghum will do fine and provide plenty of forage. The amber sorghum will mature in ninety days. Broadcasted they may be sown with cowpeas which will make good hay or silage. Drilled in rows 3 feet apart and cultivat- ed, the yield will undoubtedly be greater.
 Save plenty of seed oats and wheat. Varieties that have made good in your locality are to be preferred to seed from a distance of unknown quail tis. It is also not only extrag- igant but dangerous to buy and bring in seed every year. It has been reported by number of county agents that 90 per cent of the seed oats brought into the state last spring had Johnson grass seed in it. Keep out the weeds and save money by saving your own seed from wheat, oats, rye, clover, alfal- ia and vegetables.
 Arkansas needs a crop of Irish potatoes for next win ter's home use and one that will keep for the best prices. Fall potatoes should be plant ed July 15 to Augusta 1. Two or three weeks before plant ing, seed potatoes should be put in semi-shady place piled not more than 4 inches deep, covered with old straw and leaves and kept moist until they begin to sprout. As soon as sprouts are one fourth of an inch long, plant a little deeper that is required for the earl7 crop and cover as soon as possible to avoid damage from the hot sun.
 Cultivate corn shallow until it begins to tassel if it has been we'll worked and is clean. It will probably not pay later than this except where peas or beans have been dri1lod in between corn rows when a light cultivation may help the crops greatly without serious injury to the corn if care is taken. Cotton can, in the ex- perience of a number of our best Arkansas farmers, be cul- tivated with profit until the cotton begins to open if there are no weevils. This is based on the fact that where there are no weevils cotton will keep on making bolls until frost comes.
 Dipping cattle is a necessary patriotic duty which must be pushed during the war because clean cattle thrive best, grow larger and put on more meat in the shortest length of time and with the least amount of feed per pound of gain. Any one refusing to dip his cattle must be counted an unpatriot- ic citizen, according to a recent communication received from MT. Hoover by the state food o J y,o .,, .Ctyo4 4or ooJ IL .4o4a

GERMAN BLOWS WELD
ALLIED FORCES S0L|Oly

French Army Headquarters. May.
I3.--via Ottawa. Under the German
blows the allied armies seem to be
welded together as never before.
There is no point OF junction at
which the Germans can thrust. The
process OF welding together the two
armies Is complete. but II will not
stop there Franco British dyi-
sions will be moved about on a sol
Idly knitted front at the wish OF the
allied high command as freely as
German divisions.
Against the enemy's territorial
gains must be set the fact that he
had to throw li0 divisions into the
battle In five weeks, A considerable
number of these have been twice en-
gagged and some three. times, Add
ing there Temperatures together.
there is a total OF 1876 engagements
OF divisions. equivalent to mass of
two and one-half million men whom
the enemy has already put into bat
tie. As a German division Is never
withdrawn until II has sustained Sc
we're losses, on an average OF 2.500,
Il Is reasonable to reckon the enc
my's losses since the beginning OF
the battle at not less than $4,000.
The Germans began the offensive
with reserve Of 650.000 in depots
In France and at home. Behind
these there Is only the 1919-1920
class, consisting Of youths, half OF
whom are under Is years. The enc
my's genuine fighting reserve Is thus
half exhausted before he has covered
anything like half the distance to
his goal. His reckless employment
Of divisions has left him with to-
tai Of 66 out OF 2o6 in France, which
have not yet been engaged. OF
these. 12 are landstrum divisions
which cannot be used for the pur-
pose OF an offensive. The Germans
thus can have little hope that the
remaining go divisions can accom-
plish what the first 140 failed to
achieve.
Already the German stan is anx-
iously realizing that their reserves
OF fresh troops are not greater than
those under General Foch
