Cut Up the Corn
The present need of every bit of
available feed and cost of labor will
not warrant anyone pulling fodder
this year. Cut up the corn and feed
the whole stalk. Cut the corn and
shock it in the field, or if the field
is small, haul to the fence and thus
leave the field clear of everything
for seeding wheat or rye or oats
for winter pasture or for a grain
crop. Cattle will eat leaves and
about 40 per cent of the stalk.
Get Ready for Wheat
Every farmer in Arkansas must
grow wheat to supply his fam
lily and the hands on the place with
should be made quickly. Experiments
at the Arkansas College of Agricul-
ture show that early blowing is best,
and it has been proven that the seed
bed must be well prepared. Only
clean seed wheat should be sown.
If possible, join with your neighbors
and secure tanning mill This will
enable you to eliminate weed seed.
dirt, trash and light grain. 1t pays to
sow only plump and sound grain.
Play safe and treat your wheat for
smut. Call your county agent. He
will be glad to give you instructions.

Everyone Should Start Some Glover
Clovers are legumes, consequently
nitrogen gatherers and soil builders,
and every farmer in Arkansas should
raise some of the valuable crops.
Begin this year by putting in an
acre or two of crimson clover, burr
clover red clover, alsike clover be-
fore the first of October. BY doing
this everyone can raise his own seed
for a larger field. Do not take any
chances. Inoculate for clover. Write
to the college of Agriculture for in
structions or call on your county
agent to help you

Leghorns Produce Eggs Cheapest
Leghorns produce eggs cheaper
than any other breed of chickens
The extension Division Of the Uni
versity of Arkansas makes this plain
because it has been shown that Leg
horns eat an average of about SIS
pounds of feed per head, as COM
pared with 20 to IS pounds eaten by
the general purpose breeds, includ-
ing Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons,
Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks.
At the same time they lay as many
or more eggs and the egg yields
exceed that of the general purpose
breeds DUNG the second and third
years.
Watch Out for Fires on the Farm
The dry weather las increased
the number of fires considerably in
the state. Keeping straw and rub
bish away from the barns, granaries,
and sheds will lessen the LANCER of
fire, and in many eases will keep 1t
from spreading. Remember that in
erecting new buildings they should
be kept a fair distance apart. A
tank with number OF buckets !
should be kept always at hand and
ready.
