ARKANSAS CROP
 SUMMARY YEAR 1917
A Five Per Cent Increase in Acreage With F Per Cent Increase In Value Over 1916.

Charles S. Bouton, Field Agent of the Department of Agriculture. sent out from his office in springdale last week the following summary of crop conditions in Arkansas during the year 1917, and the report shows im proved conditions all along the line:
 The acreage in all crops harvested in Arkansas this year is about {, ,725. 300 acres; an increase of ! per cent over that of 1916. Tine value of all crops harvested, excluding pastufage and that gathered by stock n the fields, amounted to S2e4. .o00. .000 as compared to S18G, 100000 h 1916. an increase of 42 per cent. Unquestiou- ably, f9f has been 3 banner yeal. for Arkansas farmers. The figures here in quoted must not be regarded n absolutely correct, but are based ap- on estimates and information from the most reliable sources, and are as neal ly accurate as can be expected without actual enumeration.
 Arkansas two great crops are cot ton and corn. Next to these, in point of .4lue. are rice and hay. The acre ages devoted to all Of these crops show an increase over the preceding year.
 Substantial increases were also made in sweet potatoes, in peanuts, and sorghum. There was q loss in wheat and oats due to anfaVorable conditions at seeding time, and imme- diately thereafter However, the amount sown to wheat this fall shows a very satisfactory increase of 31 per cent Gardens We're enlarged and looked after better than in any pre- vious year. The apple crop is the best in the history of the State, and the peaches. while less than half q crop, brought the highest prices ever received by the growers.
 Favorable winter conditions found more land ready for planting than has ever been prepared before. but March and April, with their low tempera- lures. delayed planting of many crops. In the western and northwestern part of the State the growing season was very favorable for al crops. after the first of May. but through the central, southern, ant southeastern part dry weather in June and July injured corn, cane, and garden crops greatly. The general ram of July l4th and 10th was of inestimable value to the state September, October, and November were deficient in rainfall. and pre- vented the sowing of considerable amounts of fall oats asd of wheat, but this dry condition was exceptionally favorable for harvesting. The records show that Arkansas farmers and planters responded warmly to the ap- peal for increased production Of food and feed crops, and that the slogan Let Arkansas Feed itself" had con siderable effect.
 Unusual features of the year were the destructive hail storms and un- usually cold weather of April and May, and destructive frosts in 0cto- Der
 Labor conditions were better than had been expected in spite of the hea- " drain of the war and the constant demand of manufacturing eenters for additional help, but farm labor in- creased 90 per cent in cost.

LOOK after sweet.
POTATO CROP HERE.
IS NAMED BY GOVT.
j. G. WOODRUFF, OF CUTHBERT,
WELL KNOWN IN AFERICUS,
WILL DIRECT WORK OF CURING
POTATO CROP IN ALL SOUTH.
WEST GEORGIA DURING CUR
RENT YEAR.

Announcement is made of the ap-
pointment of J, G. Woodruff, Of Cuth-
bert, as sweet potato house" curing
expert for Southwest Georgia, and
he will assist Sumter farmers in the
task of saving the tremendous tuber
crop now maturing. He will work
under direction Of the Bureau of
Markets and will furnish farmers
here with blue prints and plans for
erecting modern potato curing houses
free, together with the probable cost
of materials, necessary in the con-
struction of the houses themselves.
He has plans for curing potatoes in
lots of 200 to 500 bushels and also in
larger lots from 1000 to 1000 BUSH
els. ana some even large enough 10
store 5000 to $4,000 bushels, these
latter being designed especially for
commercial concerns.
It is a we'll known fact that large
percentage of the sweet potatoes
raised are not successfully stored and
enormous food losses occur every
year as a result. These losses can
be reduced by proper storage meth
DDS and it is a patriotic duty to do
everything to save the present sweet
potato crop.
With the present shortage of labor
farmers will have to begin now to
prepare for the digging" time if
they expect to save this valuable
food crop. Prices for sweet potatoes
in the early spring will more than
Justify the cost of storing them.
This is not an experimental propo-
yition but one that has been amply
tried out by individual farmers and
business men on commercial scale
and where the simple instructions as
to the manipulation of the storage
houses have been followed, above 95
per ce.t CT tire stored potatoes have
been successfully kept, year in and
year out.

Said He Was Trying to Join the Ger.
man Navy.

There is one enemy alien less at
large in the country as the result OF
the patriotism of a Bismarck IN. d.
girl. Frank Peters, alias Peter Han
sen, has gone to Fort Mcpherson, Ca,
for internment in q federal prison
camp instead of doing his bit for the
kaiser as a member of a U-bOat crew,
because Miss Mary Burkman was cOur-
ageous enough to report him, even
though he was her own cousin.
Peters was arrested as he was about
TO board a Northern Pacific train on
the first lap Of his journey to Germany.
He had boosted to his cousin that he
would soon be back in the fatherland
serving on one of the kaiser's subma-
rineS.
When Miss Burkman assured him
she would not permit him to leave
America for such purpose, he re-
minded her of their blood ties, threat
ened her and declared she dare not re-
port him. There was brief struggle
in Miss Burkman's heart, but it was
very brief and her country won.
