FARMING HINTS FROM THE COUNTY AGENTS

Pulaski County farmers must do
everything in their power TO increase
the amount of available feed for live
stock, and they are urged to plant
more winter oats, rye, ETC., for graz
ing Such crops as these will not on
ly produce vast quantities of feed and
is q good emergency measure at this
time, but they can be followed By
cowpeas which may be seeded for hay
or for blowing under to be followed
by oats or wheat, or with rye for win
ter pasture, and this in turn to be-
plowed under in the spring and the
field planted to corn and cotton. It
should be remembered that oats and
wheat should be treated for smut be-
fore planting, and wherever tanning
mill should be used to eliminate Great,
dirt, and broken and light grain.
Make preparations for winter oats
now. Prepare the seed bed well and
use the drill il possible.
We now have contracted in the
county large acreage of wheat to be
sown this fall to supply home needs
during the coming year. AS a conse-
quence, we wish to say that great
deal of unknown seed is being offered
for sale, and as warning against in
discriminate buying, Mr.. Lassetrer,
Director of Extension says:
at is far better to buy seed OF a
variety known to have made good in
the local community and from far
mer or miller in the state, who Is re-
liable, rather than buy in quantities
of priced seed from unknown parties
and doubtful sources. In every case,
however, it will pay to treat seed
wheat for smut, and growers should
write to the College of Agriculture for
Farmers Bulletin No. 939, which de-
scribes the method of treating seeei
wheat for the prevention of smut. ha7

to furnish Information as to the kind
of land best adapted to wheat and
detailed methods of preparing for and
seeding the crop. They will also be
glad to assist the farmers in locating
seed.
Put in Fall Garden.
Now that fall weather Is about to
begin, it is time to sow beets, lettuce,
radishes, spinach and kale. See that
the soil is made rich and put in tie
best possible condition before sowing
the seed. 1t will pay you, Only a
few short rows of vegetables will be
sufficient for the needs of the average
family" says ]. S. Knox, horticulturIst
with the University of Arkansas.
1t is not yet too late to SOW turniDs
for late fall and winter use and it will
be well to plant them sright away.
Early Purple Top, Milan or Early Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties for fall
sowing. Some OF the glove varieties
may also be sown IL desired. The

best for producing salad in the spring.
Try a few.
BY all means prepare and plant q
small patch of cabbage for use during
late fall and early winter. BY proper
storage they can be kept until the
winter is far gone and some varie-
ties, like All Season, will stand in
the open in southern portions OF the
state until the Christmas holidays are
past.
Don't Sell Cotton in the. Seed.
Don't sell cotton in the seed. This
practice is a cause of loss to many
Arkansas farmers every year. No buy
er can determine the grade, the per
cent lint, or the shrinkage due to
moisture of seed cotton. For this
reason all buyers of such cotton must
buy at low figures to avoid risk. 1t
sa safe guess that cotton sold in the
seed brings ten dollars per bale less
than it is worth"

CARE OF THE FLOCK.

Demonstration Agent.
Get Rid OF the Stacker Hens.

Get Rid of the Stacker Hens.
With feed so high priced it is of
the greatest Importance to Gull the
poultry flock. Culling serves two pur.
poses. First, it insures more food for
the better producing hens, thereby liz
creasing the profits. Second, 1t makes
it possible to save those best suited
for breeders, both on account of their
better production and on account of
their superior strength and vitality
and under war conditions it makes II
imperative that the poor producers be
weeded out. The Stacker hen must go,
those that do not produce must be-
killed for meat
In order to lay well a bird must
have a sound body. AS a first consid-
Grafton bird must be vigorous and
healthy if it is to be able to lay well.
Vigor and health are shown by d
bright. clear eye, we'll set body, a
comparative active disposition. Furth-
er, the bird must be free from Dhysf
cal defects, such as crooked beak, tx
tremely long toe nails, scaly legs or
anything else that would keep the
bird from getting an abundance Of
food. Save all healthy, strong, vigor-
GUS, alert, active, good eaters. non

niversary, that Promoter Ed A. Thil enius is having difficulty determining just which race will be the feature.
 From the good natured rivalry that arose at the New Years day racing program however. it is safe to assume that one of the most evenly contested events of the day will be the Australian pursuit race. Motor fans are still talk ing about the sensational finish of the Australian pursuit race on that day and the finish was so close that the judges determined to call the race a draw.
 The result has consequently aroused considerable rivalry between the own CTS of the Overland No. s. and the Miller Special, the two cars which were tied for first money. Both drivers de- clare that their machines had the edge in the last match and say that they will be out to demonstrate that fact on Washington birthday.
 But to hear these two fellows talk one would think that they are to be the only contestants in the event. They

don't even seem to consider the other machines as rivals in any way. shape or manner and bystander might think that these drivers were already assured of first and second place and were scrapping it out among themselves to determine which one would t,ke first money.
 lnasmuch as there will be four start CTS in this event, however, there is some speculation among the owners of other fast cars as to who will finish ahead of the field. One outsider" even went so far as to say that he would be surprised if the Overland No. and the Miller special even qualify for the event. let alone winning all the big money.
 As a result of all this talk, one of the fastest. best races ever pulled off in this city will undoubtedly be the outcome.
 So much interest is being manifested in the approaching event that it has been decided to put on an advance ticket sale, and arrangements were

 MAN, P|NTA|L
 DUCK, NARDEN N

Attired briefly in only sombrero and shirt, one hand holding high the flow ing portion of the shirt from the waters of the Salt, the other hand clutching the damning evidence of a dead pintail duck, violator of the game laws of Arizona waded out of the river on Sun day afternoon right into the awful presence of the state game warden himself and one of his deputies.

How else can be explained their presence in that particular p,rt of this broad state known as Blue Point. on the Salt Eiver, which is some p miles north of Mesa, and at that particular time, just as the crack of a gun broke the still ness of the Sunday afternoon.
 "Ah ha," eXclaimec MT. Willard in his best game warden manner when the report came to their ears. That sounds to me like tee crack of a duck gun"

TOBACCO SAMPLES FOUND HARMLESS

c. C. Winner, whose work in the dis tribution of samples of chewing to- bacco was stopped by the authorities on the claim that it contained ground glass, has his crew of samplers on the job again and the matter has been en- tirely dropped by the department Of justice.
 David Proctor. special agent of the department of justice, said yesterday, after very thorough investigation of the charges that had been presented to us we have returned the tobacco which we had confiscated. We found nothing that would indicate intent to do harm in any fashion. In fact l took a great bunch of the tobacco to the patholog- ical laboratory and secured a thorough , analysis and only two minute portions of some substance which probably was glass were found in the entire lot and they would have done no harm. When soaked in water no sediment showed which would indicate powdered or ground glass.

MINE OPERATORS
ASK FOOD RELIEF

Denver Post:
Senator John F. Shafroth took up
with the food administration in Wash
ington Monday the matter of allowing
prospectors and mine operators to car
ry into the hills sufficient provisions
to last them during the winter months,
During which time they cannot get
down to the markets.
Mine operators in many sections are
obliged to put in their supplies in the
fall and unless permitted to do so can
not keep their mines running. These
lave been worried by the provisions
against the boarding of food. While
they are not in the proper sense to be
considered as hoarders, the law makes
no exception in their case.
Senator Shafroth, after an inter-
Wow with the administration. said:
"They tell me that it is matter for
the state food administrator. Thomas
B. Stearns to attend to in Colorado
and they feel sure that proper permis-
sion will be granted by him in such
cases when his attention is directed to
the situation"
