Extension Division of U. of A. Urges Arkansas People To Increase Their
 Poultry Production.

Realizing that poultry can take the place of red meat and relieve the great shortage Arkansas people are urged to increase their poultry pro duction as quickly as possible. In order to aid farpers and poultry men by giving such help and sug- gestions as may be needed. MT H. E. Lansden has been appointed by the U. $. Department of Agriculture to CO operate with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas. He will visit every county in the state, and. working with the county agents. will organize Poultry Associations and Boys and Girls Poultry Clubs. He will be glad to answer all inquiries coming from Arkansas people
 In speaking of the present situa ton. Mir Lansden says: "Tne Unit ed States is short on red neat, and our soldiers and allies must haze it. The quickest way to<overcome this shortage of beef, pork and mutton Is for every household and every hotel and restaurant in this country to sub stitut" poultry for red meat. The de ,nand for more poultry which will re- suit can be quickly met because of the rapidity with which increased pro duction of poultry can be effected Ii is therefore up to every farmer and city or village dweller who has T small back lot, 10 do their bit in the
 
 There should be one hundred to two hundred hens on every farm. because these hens can pick up q large DOT ion of their living and will consume much material that wouli otherwise go to waste. Every city and village dweiler who has small space in the back yard can keep few hens. \ N1lf-Goaen to 4 dozen thrifty hens or bullets will produce sufficient supply of eggs for most any ordinary fam scraps from The table for which there IS no other use

 Confnc hens and chicks to brood GOODS for II least two weeks The loss Of baby chicks. from allowing the hens to lead them through wet grass and weeds before they are strong. is enormous
 Dispose of surplus coekerels as soon as they weigh one to one and one. half pounds. There Is more profit in ;he first pound than in any time there. profitable to the producer. but will conserve the grain they would con sume after this age.
 Produce infertile eggs The loss from fertile eggs. from blood rings developing during warm spring and summer. amounts 10 s15.000 O00 annu- ally. lnfertile eggs are produced by removing the male bird from the yard after the breeding season is over
 Preserve eggs during summer while eggs are caeap by tEe' water glass method Full instruction for this method of preserving will oe furnish ed on application to the Extension Division.
 Provide comfortable, but not neces- sarily expensive houses, well yentilat- cd and kept thoroughly dry Hens can not produce eggs when subjected to cold rains and storms.
 There is every indication that the prices for poultry and eggs will be high for some time and remember there is no danger of production

TWO SMALL CHILDREN

Tightly holding each others hands
two children walked into police

looking for their father.
Not that they thought that he
would be at the police station, but
they imagined that possibly the pO-
lice could direct them TO where he
could be found.
They are Leta and Austin Brown
rigge, aged II and s years respec-
lively. The girl carried a heavy
suitcase and the small boy a heavy
bundle. They had just arrived from
Syracuse, \ Y, making the trip all
alone.
Their father is Austin Brown
rigge, and the children were told
before they left Syracuse that he
worked in South Bend for a man
named Mitchell.
The police so far have been un-
able TO locate the father. Capt
William Cordier, who is on duty
during the day, took pity on the
children and took them to his home
