 PLANT COWPEAS
cowneas Will Be Ready For Hog Grax.
 ina in Seventy To Ninety Days.
L. w. Osborn, Agronomist, Univer-
 sity of Arkansas.

sity of Arkansas.
 Don't fail to plant cowpeas, sOr- ghum and peanuts. If these legumes are planted by June 25 in North Ark ansas and before July 15 in South Arkansas they will still make profita- ble crops and since the state is and will be in sore need of feeds of all kinds every farmer who has not put in mo or all of these crops should get busy right away Cowpeas will be ready for hog grazing in 75 tos90 days, but if they are to be used fer hay they should be cut before frost. {n mary sections of the state there will not be time enough to mature the crop before frost comes. Sorghum should be planted regardless of the price since no crop can be depended upon to produce greater tonnage of coarse forage on good land.
 Peanuts should be planted since they will afford more pork producing feed to the acre than any other crop and they can be cultivated with the same implements used in cultivatlrv5 cotton. The peanut is one of the most dependable feed crops which can still be planted in the state with tic as surance of a good return says L. w. Osborn, agrononist with the Univef- sity of Arkansas. 'It is also cne oI the best forage crops we have for hogs. Hogs turned in on peanuts make rapid gains"
 Peanut Adapted To Wide Range
 of Soils.
 Peanuts are especially adapted to sandy Ioam and loamy soils, but for hog grazing may be grown on heavier soils provided they contain an abund- ance of organic matter and do not crust easily. Peanuts stand the Grouth better than corn and fully as well as soy beans and cowpeas. During the extreme drouth of the summer of 1916 Spanish peanuts yielded over 40 bushels to the acre while com m an adjoining field under similar condi- lions averaged less than 10 bushels to the acre."
 Big Yields On Fertile Soils.
 "On highly fertilized soils in tests conducted by the Arkansas Expert ment Station yields of 125 bushels per acre have been made. Average yields for good soils will usually vary be- tween 50 and 70 bushels while on or dinary soils yields of 30 to 40 bushels may be expected Aside from this 6 yield of hay ranging from 1 to tons can be obtained"
 M Spanish Peanut Best All Around
 Variety.
 "The Spanish variety is to be pre- ferred for grazing purposes. When planted as early in the spring as the ground is thoroughly warm this va riety becomes available for heavy grazing in August and September Planted in June and until July 1 1n the northern sections and as late as July IS in the, southern part. of the state the crop will become available for late fall pasture. Spanish peanuts are planted without shelling ill rows 28-36 inches wide and spaced 5-a inches apart in the row.

SOY BEANS VALUABLE
 -HOW TO PLANT

By Harry F. Kapp, Extension Division,
 University of Arkansas.
 "In the present food crisis our peo- pie should plant soy beans" says Har- " F. Kapp, because they are food. forage and grain crop. The soy bean should be drilled in rows about 30 inches to 3 feet apart, and the plant should stand about to inches apart in the drill. The soy bean is easily cultivated and should receive the same attention as a corn crop in the matter of cultivation The variety generally used is the Mammoth Yellow. though there are several other varieties that
 have given splendid results. Before the soy bean natures it is an excel lent table food and the dry beans while requiring a long time for cook ing are also an excellent food, but the chief value Cf the soy bean lies in it's forage and grain production This crop will produce more or poor land than probably any otEer crop and is very drought resistant. The amount of beans produced per acre with good stand and fair cultivation may range between 10 and 40 bushels per acre. If cut somewhat green, when the leaves begin to turn yellow, it makes a most excellent hay. Stock of all kinds eat it very readily and it has a very high feeding value. The bean furnishes an excellent grain ra- ton while the stalk furnishes the roughage. If allowed to mature in the field the beans will drop off and lie on the around without rotting and in this way hogs may be fattened very read fly. If intended for seed crop, care must be taken in the harvesting. When the pods are mature, they burst open very readily and scatter the beans in all directions. If wanted for hay crop, they shonld be cut when the pods are about half mature and handled like cowpeas. One value of the soy bean lies in the fact that 1t is also nitrogen gathering plant. It will probably produce more feed on any sgiven soil than any other crop that can be planted and is readily eat en by hogs, horses, cattle and sheep and every farmer. who can possibly obtain the seed should have a small acreage of this most valuable plant

Four Army Y. M. c. A. secretaries and five state representatives were detailed to meet and accompany that many special trains last week that were bringing the new selective draft men to camp. It gave the newcomers chance to ask hundreds of queries with regard to conditions in camp so they could in a small measure at least be prepared for the new life that was so soon to confront them. They also assisted in handling the men at meal times, in comforting the homesick. ones, and in quieting some that were inclined to be noisy. It was one of the biggest lines of special work that the Y. M. c. A. has under taken in this state.

CAMP PIKE NOTES.

Red Cross representatives at Camp Pike are experimenting the erection of large frame building at the base hospital that will not only be avail able for the use of convalescent sol- diers, but that will furnish stopping place for visitors who wish to be near relatives who are seriously i'll in the hospital. These rooms, however, will be furnished only to aged or infirm relatives who could not possibly make the trip from the city and are not for general use. The building is in the form of cross and is 100 feet each way. Most of the space in the main building is to be used as reading. writing and lounging room.

Newport daily independent., 1918-06-01

One of the interesting parts of Camp Pike little known or visited is that where homing, or carrier pig cons, as they are perhaps better known, are trained for army ser~--ice as a section of the signal corps. The birds are brought here from the east when only few months old, and are trained to long distance flights by careful and persistent handling. They are carried to the country by motor cyclists and liberated, at first few miles away and then longer distances as their speed and strength increases.
 It is well to remember that candy, fruits and all bulky articles will be refused shipment at this time to sol diers in overseas service. Tonnage is too valuable for necessities of life to waste it in carrying luxuries and non-essentials. For short time the Y. M. c. A. forwarded some of these things but they are now under a strict embargo.
