 Keep a Bee and Sting the Kaiser
 America needs honey to save sugar, Last year the allies bought great quantities of honey, Italy alone using 2,OO0 tons. It is patriotic duty of every owner of bees to increase his production in 1918 to the maximum and if he cannot give the attention demanded to lease or sell them to someone who can. Honey is neces- sity,
 The government has sent special ist in honey production, Kennith Hawkins of the U. $. Department Of Agriculture, into Arkansas. for the coming month. to aid those already owning bees to adopt methods which will increase the returns from their bees Mir Hawkins plans to visit many counties of the state, to ex- plain methods proven to bring results and to help beekeepers to adopt them. The service is free and your county agent will help if your county is to be visited and if not information de- sired can be secured by writing the Extension Division, U. of A., Little Rock.

lieve the strain upon the farmer up on whom there rests so heavy bur den at the present time.
 At first thought it might seem that a home garden has very remote connection with winning the war but not when you consider the matter carefully. J. s. Knox, hOrticulturist of the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture says: There is no other area on the whole farm so valuable as the space given to raising home vegetables for home use and half acre garden, whether on the farm or the city back lot, if well planned and cared for this year, will contribute at least $200 to the living
 Some important hints on gardening are given by MT. Knox as follows:
 "A constant supply of vegetables can be kept up by successive planting of the same variety or by planting early and late varieties. We should not be satisfied with anything but the best quality. Plants should be kept free from insects and disease by constant spraying.
 "The ideal location for a garden IS on a gentle south or southeast slope where the ground warns early in the spring. A soil that is deep, rich, moist sandy loam is ideal. Few
