MORE PROPAGANDA
Farmers Are Told That Government
Will Seize Their Crops.

Little Rock, March 1.-THE most
insidious and dangerous German pro-
paganda that has appeared il Arkan>
sas in months, according to Hamp
Williams, federal food administrator,
is icing circulated in those counties
where the Third Arkansas Profitable
Farming Campaign has been started
ana in those localities where organl-
cation is under way. Reports are be-
ing circulated among the farmers in
an effort to discourage them. They
have been told that government offici-
ais want the farmers to produce great
err and more varied crops this year so
the government can seize the crops, al
lowing the farmers to have just
enough for SO days.
Incredible as it may seem," said
Mr. Williams, this prop9 galda is be-
lieved.
My attention was first called to
it by several letters l received from
farmers over the state, asking OF the
government intended to take from
them the crops they raised in response
to the call. Then a committee of
farmers from one Of the counties that
had been OF ganized for the campaign
called at my office and told me of the
same report. Yesterday l received
letter from county demonstration
agent on the same subject, He said
that an official statement on the SUB
ject would be necessary to offsc,
propaganda that had been spread
among the farmers.
No Truth in Report.
Every farmer in the state should
bend every effort for greater produce
ton Tie farmers may be absolutely
certain the government Will not take
their crops. All that they raise will
be theirs, and they have got to raise
it if they want to live for we have
been informed that no cars will be
available to haul feed from the North
to the South. The South must feed
itself.

IMMEDIATE CALL FOR 10000 MEN
Draft Boards Are Instructed Not to
Send Farmers to Camps.

Little Rock, March 1.-THE adult
ant general was advised by Provost
Marshal General Crowder yesterday
that an increment OF 10000 men will
be called out Immediately, but that the
new national and state quota will not
be called until Congress acts on pend
ing legislation. The Increment of 90
600 will be divided among the states,
and the excess over the current quota
will be credited ON the new quota when
it is called.
Instructions were given, however, to
defer calling men actively, complete
ly and assidiously engaged in planting
or cultivating a crop" In filling this
emergency call the local boards Will be
asked to pass the order numbers OF
such men and defer their call But in
doing so the boards are asked to eXer-
else their best judgment, and citizens
generally are requested to assist the
boards by calling attention to cases
that merit deferment and also to those
cases in which the deferment is being
abused.
ut must be borne in mind that this
step is taken solely in the need OF the
nation" the orders read, and not
for the benefit of any individual.
Therefore, while boards should con-
slider it grave duty to exercise this
power to conserve and augment the
agricultural production, they should
closely observe the conduct of those
deferred and Immediately upon becom-
ing convinced that any person so de-
ferred is not giving his entire time
and earnest attention to agricultural
duty, or that he is trifling with the
deierment thus granted him. the board
should forthwith call him to the col
ors.

FEED FOR THE SOW.

By II. X. Sanders, Agricultural Eek
tension Division, University Of Ark
ansas.
Feed For the Sow Before narrowing.
Sows fed on corn alone will not
bring strong and heavy pigs Feed
some peanuts. wheat shorts, tankage
or sweet milk with the com in the fol
lowing proportion.
Corn parts and shorts l part.
Corn 9 parts and lankage l part.
Corn parts and peanuts 1 part in
hull
Corn 3 parts and bran / part.
Corn 6 parts and cowpeas l part.
A 250-pound SOW should have from
five to seven pounds per day of one
of the above mixtures if she is fed in
dry lot and given plenty of fresh
water The brood SOW when CARRYING
her litter has to be fed with view of
feeding the growing litter. The pros
pective pigs of the litter need proper
feed to lay the foundation for their
future strength, size and constitu-
ton. One of the drains upon
the SOW at the time she is carving
her litter is furnishing bone-makiny
material. She, therefore, requires an
extra amount of bone-making feed.
The lack of it is an injury to the lit
ter, and a danger to the SOW. Provide
q trough with wood ashes, charred
corn cobs, charcoal and lime. For
details, see page 8, Farmers Bullet.

Feed For SOW After Farrowinu.
The mother should not receive feed
for about "a Tours after giving brit.
to the pigs. She is feverish, though
and should be supplied literally with
fresh water, The second day after
narrowing she should be given a small
feed of short and skim milk made in
to a thin slop. If there is no skim
milk on hand, mix about four parts of
corn with one of shorts, coWpeas
soy bean meal or peanuts and give a
small quantity. She should be brought
UP gradually to full feed. This
should require about three weeks. Ii
she is overfsd at first, the pigs are
likely to take the scours and thulnps.
When on a full feed in a dry lot she
will eat about four pounds of grain
per day for each 100 pounds she
weighs. If she weighs 200 pounds.
! she will need about eight pounds per
day. II she weighs 250 pounds, she
will need about 30 pounds per dav.
If she has the run of a good pasture
at least one-half of the grain will be
saved. If no pasture can be provId
ed, she will need to be fed about the
same as she was before narrowing
time, except that she will need more
grain than when dry. When the pas
ture is composed Of Bermuda grass a
grain ration equivalent to per cent
of her live weight should be fed and
the grain part of the ration should be
shorts, tankage and cowpeas. Ask
your county agent for Circular No. 81
on how to build .selffeeder for
hogs.

KING OF
 MEXICO IS IN EXILE

Fl. PASO, Tex, Aug. 30. - Each evening at sunset, an old man with silvcr-whitc hair and snowy beard may be seen walking around and around the plaza taking his daily exercise with his two bodyguards.
 He is General Luis Terrazas, the octogenarian exile from Mexico. who lost virtually all his great fortune in the revolution of Iadero and Villa and now is forced by political condi- tions in the country to live on the border. When the Madero revolution started in 1911 Don Luis was known as the cattle king of Mexico. His herds numbered more than 2OO,- 600 head and grazed on a thousand hills and plains of Northern Mexico. His estates stretched from the Rio Grande to Chihuahua City and he could ride for "A hours by train over his own acres, which then numbered more than a million.
 From his offices in the state capi- tai. General Terrazas governed this vast cattle empire. conducted a bank and many other industries connected with his cattle business. He and his

THIS NORWEGIAN IS
 LONGING TO GET BACK
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Writing from Gergen, Norway, the following letter from P. Sterrensen will prove quite interesting generally, if for nothing else than reflecting the attitude of those people toward Germany, which is extremely bitter. Mir. Sterrensen also states he IS very anxious to return to Arizona and look after his mining interests: Here IS what he says:
 My country's losses in ships and the good people who have gone down with them have been enormous. The Hun submarine commander has been heartless and unmerciful. Let me tell the Arizona people our sympathies are with the Allies, and they are go- Ing to win. I am not permitted to write more fully as the letter writer here is held tight and only can go so far. That is the law so one cannot express himself here as you can. It we mention things of general doings it is all right, but if certain affair is to be specified and described, 1t IS erased. I will say this, however, in two years I have lost four brothers in ships submarined, and a score of other male relatives.
 What value is lost in ships and cargo is immense, and further hum 1reds of people of means in shipping are totally ruined. So in life lost and property gone my country would have suffered no more than if it had declar- cd war against Germany.
 Here in Bergen IS quite colony of Norwegian Americans and we meet weekly for general discussion, all or us of one stand. When we get the right to go back. there are hundreds who want to go also. With me here are 42' naturalized Americans, and one thing we miss very much IS news from the big grand country. Papers only give us what is cablcd of war in tcrcst, so news from any particular section is not to be had. I am uneasy over knowing when I can get to go- ing back, and would give anything to be at the old camp working in the mines"

LOCAL RGANIZ A TON TO PROVIDE MODERN BUNGALOWS IN DESIR- ABLE SECTIONS FOR FAST GROWING CITY.
(From Fridays DaiIy)

Summer visitors for many years, as well as those who come to make Prescott their home, have had a grievance against the city on account of the lack of suitable house accom- modations.
 Appreciative of this state of af- fairs, the recent incorporation of the Yavapai Construction Go. was taken to remedy this situation, and its pur- poses are now bearing fruit Today there are under construction the first unit of four bungalows, all of mod ern design, and which will be follow ed by a string Of others, until in the aggregate it is expected forty of these habitations will be ready before next summer. Buena Vista Heights, adjoining Pine Crest on the south, is where the first houses are being erected. The site is ideal, commanding as this high elevation does, wide sweep of country :n all directions. In due time other sections in the city are to receive attention, as the de- mand arises, and in this connection the most cxacting householder is to have his desires fully satisfied. Many realty owners of the city have swung into this big movement.
 William Kerr, of the California Realty Bungalow Co.,, has arrived from Los Angeles. to manage this big and in his office in the Bank of Arizona building has hum dreds of plans and perspectives to satisfy the most fastidious as well as the most exacting. This new organi- zation is headed by Mayor Heap, as president, F. c. Brown, secretary, and F. s. Viele, treasurer.
