House That Was Born Barn

A barn, it seems, is rather an easy
thing to turn into a human habitation.
In this case the transformation was
made some years ago. and the com
bined home and studio has been occu-
pied in turn by two well-known paint
ers, both of them women, whose occu-
pancy has given 1t the real but In
tangible atmosphere Of a place that
has been lived in. Only the informed
eye rediscovers the barn; the studio
might have been built for a studio
and the picturesque quality inherited
from the barn might have been COZ

HOME STORAGE Is BEST

The storing Of late vegetables
is an economy for those who
grow them in sufficient quantity
for the needs of the family.
To care for the surplus vege-
tables nothing more, In many
cases, Is required than the use of
facilities existing in or near the
home.
Often the late vegetables from
a small garden can be stored
with no expense.
When considerable quantities
OF vegetables are grown it is
frequently advisable to construct
permanent storage facilities In
the form of a storage room In
the basement of the dwelling or
under an Outbuilding or to build
an outdoor cellar of wood or ma
sonry.
If permanent facilities are not
available late vegetables can he
kept in outdoor pits or banks,
requiring no cash outlay except
for labor.

the farm labor shortage wonderfully.
1t Is by urging improvements of this
kind that lumber dealers and country
builders are helping the government
in the solution of this vexing problem.
The shortage of farm labor has been
serious for a number of years, even
before the war began. Since this
try has become involved, thousands
of our young men have left the farms

plants and the other war supply indus
tries. The agricultural department,
cooperating with the United States
labor department, is endeavoring to
attract the older men from other
walks Of life to go out into the rural
districts and become real producers
on the farm.
Practical Tenant House.
For this reason. in view of the great
urgency Of the farm labor problem at
this time, it Is with special %satisfac-
ton that we present working plans
for this very practical tenant house.

FOR
PROPER STORAGE
Many Cellars Are Suitable, but
Care Must Be Given to
Light and Heat.
AVOID FROST and MOISTURE
Attention Must Be Given in Fall to
Storing Surplus Vegetables So That
Grocery Bills May Be Ma
terialIy Reduced.

In the fall the wise home gardener.
whether in city or country, plans and
works for his garden next year, ana
stores the surplus products of his sum
mer work. He plOws hard or stiff clay
soils, as the action of the frost during
the winter will break the soil into fine
PARTICLES and render it suitable for
planting. He clears away the weeds
and rubbish and gets ready for an
early start in the spring. PlOwed
ground dries out more quickly than
u%nplowed and by blowing in the fall
it is possible to get such crops as peas,
beets and early potatoes planted much
earlier than otherwise would be the
case.
If the gardener has planned his crop
so thut fall finds him with Il large sur
plus Of stOrable vegetables, much of
his attention will be given to placing
them away, safe from moisture and
heat, so that through the winter they
will help to reduce grocery bills and
vary the diet without regard to market
conditions or winter temperature.
Home storage of vegetables, import
ant at times, is especially valuable
il canning or drying containers are
high in price. Furthermore, crops Of
suitable sorts that mature ut Il season
when they Il be preserved by storing
should be kept in their natural on
dition instead Of being canned or dried.
Bects, late cabbage. carrots, celery,
onions, parsnips, potatoes, sweet pOta-
toes, satisfy and turnips may be stored
in their natural condition. Beans of
various kinds, including the limas, may
be stored dry. Successful storage is
not at all difficult. In fact, good facili-
ties already exist in many homes, 1t
being necessary only to make use Cf
the cellar, the attic, n large closet, or
other parts of the dwelling, depending
upon the character Of the product to
be stored.

The quantity of grain needed TO pro-
duce a pound Of gain is considerably
lessened if the hogs have access to
green forage. Corn fed to growing

pound of gain for every 1857 pounds
of grain fed. The addition of some

should reduce by One-half to three
fourths of a pound the quantity OF
grain necessary to produce a pound of

Land that has been deeply pro-

forget that wheat requires well
prepared seed bed firm but not hard
and with the surface well pulverized
A little extra work In the prepara
ton of the seed bed will be more

Wheat planting should not be de-
layed beyond the time of the first

Wherever possible, seed should al
ways be seeded with a drill. The
Arkansas Experiment Station in a
series Of tests has found difference
OF about four bushels per acre where
grain was drilled in in comparison
with broadcast seeding. A grain drill
will soon pay for itself In increased
wheat production.
Five to six pecks Of seed pcT acre
should be used. Nothing but the best
seed available should be sown. Seed
to a depth just sufficient to insure
a moisture supply which is usually
from one-half to one inch deep.
Best Varieties to Plant.
The Arkansas Experiment Station,
after many years OF testing large
number of varieties at Fayetteville
and in other parts OF the State, rec
ommends the Alabama Bluestem, the
Red May, Fulcaster and Fultz as re-
liable varieties. There are other good
varieties but before choosing one with
which you are unacquainted, be GER
tain to write the Experiment sta
ton, Fayetteville. for the record OF
that variety. There are just as many
poor varieties as there are good.
Neighbors with small acreage In
wheat should cooperate in the pur
chase and use of the necessary mai
chinery. One grain drill and one
binder should serve the needs OF sew
eral neighbors. Practically every
farm, though, should have a good
harrow. disk or springtooth, and a
good sub.surface packer

At the present time there is o
county agent in every county in East
eJn Arkansas. These men are ready
at all times to advise the landown
ers and tenants Of their respective
counties relative TO tho methods
necessary for successful production
OF wheat. Since IT is the obligation
of the lard owner and the tenant
farmer to produce a maximum ol
crops from the largest number oi
acres that they can work, 1t becomes,
therefore, their duty to consult the
county agent who Is a qualified adviser
IN matters OF farm managements and
who is in position to help to adapt
the best methods OF wheat produc
ton to the local conditions existing

ARKANSAS MUST
PRODUCE WHEAT
An Obligation Of Every Land Owner
and Tenant To Aid Government.
BY W. c. Lassetter, Director Exten-
sion Division. U. of A.

Wheat on every farm for flour is
not only good farm practice for Ark
ansas but the obligation Of every
land owner and tenant to the govern
ment. Every one has some wheat
land, and only the farmer who does
not want TO SOW wheat this fall will
find the greatest obstacles and the
most excuses.
Food is the paramount need Of the
nation, and fortunately food crops
can be produced without severely ia
terfering with other crops, which are
also necessary to win the war, and
because of the less intensive methods
required to produce food crops 1t is
possible to greatly increase the num-
Der of acress Of land that may be
titled by one family. Thus, food pro
duction becomes large part of the
governments program for maximum
production, and II is the duty Of the
farmer to meet the national need for
greater production Of all crops by
meeting the national need for food
production.
Wheat is one Of the food crops
that lends itself as a means Of meet
ing this obligation All the world eats

less days have testified to the recent
shortage Of wheat and to the depend
ence Of the human race upon wheat
as a food.

Of the United States in which cotton

which is needed for home consump-
tlon. For this purpose from three to
five acres are usually grown for each
family on that farm.
For wheat, choose well drained

possible, to follow cotton with wheat
on the richer soils, but II Is an easy
