FARMERS ARE URGED TO
 MARKET THEIR WHEAT NOW

No more important call was ever issued to Arkansas farmers since the war started to render distinct ser vice to their government than that which came from Herbert C. HooVer' federal food administrator, requesting them to market their wheat at the earliest possible moment. The seri ousness of this call can be readily seen in the following telegram sent by MT. Hoover to Hamp Wiiiiams' food administrator for Arkansas:
 "In order that we may comply with the urgent demands of the allies for wheat and at the same time taKe care of our own domestic supply, we urgently need this year an earlier and more complete marketing of the wheat now in farmers hands than usual. The allies are taking from us fifty per cent more of other cereais than wheat to mix with their bread. Inasmuch as the people Tn the alfred countries and their soldiers must pc fed with the bread baked in bakeries if is impossible for them to prepare bread made wholly out of other cer- calls. and we must furnish them With sufficient wheat to maintain ther bakery loaf. This is an urgent ap- neal to all farmers in Arkansas to bring all of their wheat except their necessary reserve for seed to market before May 1.
 "This is most important war call and a distinctive service Tor Uncle Sam, who is fighting for ms life.
 "If your local miller is unable to buy all the wheat that is offered market 1t in the other customary trade channels through which 1t will reach the Food administration grain corporation

PLANT A LARGER
 ACREAGE TO CORN
IS RAPIDLY BEING SUBSTITUTED
 FOR WHEAT AS FOOD, SAYS MR. NICHOLSON OF ARKANSAS PROFITABLE FARMING BUREAU

Because corn is so rapidly being substituted for wheat as human food, Arkansas farmers are urged to plant increased acreages to corn by J. F.. Nicholson, agriculturist of the Arkan- sas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce.
 Corn will take the place of wheat for human food more largely next year than it has this year" says Mir Nicholson There will be a short age of wheat flour until September, 1919, because of the drouth of last fall, which reduced the acreage of fall wheat. This shortage cannot be made up by spring wheat. France is using 40 per cent of corn products in place of flour.
 Prepare the land better than ever before Get high yielding seed which has been properly tested to make sure that it's germination is good. Home grown seed will yield little more per acre than seed just as good but grown at a distance.
 Use fertilizer up to the minute. If another extra dollars worth of fertilizer will produce only an extra dollars worth or corn, use it. It will add to the food supply.
 use the harrow as long as you can and save labor. Cultivate shal- low and leave level.
 "A velvet bean planted with each kernel will add as much feed as the corn, make the land richer and will not interfere with the yield of the corn. Two crops for the price of one.
 In selecting seed corn the variety and species should be considered rather than the color.
 Tt probably is true that southern mills would prefer white corn, but the color has nothing to do with the feed value of the corn

CHARLES T.. KENT
FOR STATE SENATOR

1t is merely an announcement, not
an introduction, in recording the
name of Chas E. Kent as candidate
for the senate on the democratic
ticket. In years that to produce a
profitable crop in this valley meant
laborious and intelligent effort,
Charlie Kent was one of the most
optismistic and hard working farm
ers of this county with the result
that of late years he has been farm
ing on large scale and through
these trying years has earned his
right to be the representative of the
best interests of the farmer.
The years ahead of this nation
call for more real man work on the
farm and the interests of the pro-
ducer need to be advanced both in
national and state legislative bodies
and it is in the belief that Charlie
Kent would best promote their well
fare that his many friends prevailed
upon him to enter the lists.

should be represented in the legis-

half of more intelligent care for the

such a representative and he Is now
seeking the votes of his constitu-
ents for the assembly. He has been
engaged in business here for these
many years and he can safely rely
upon his record among his neigh

Endorsement. He is a man of firm
convictions and there need never be
doubt but that his vote will be
cast In favor of the principles that
will best tend toward the develop
ment of the material interests of the
