PROPER HOUSING |S
 OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
DRY. SANITARY, cOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS MUST NOT~ BE
 OVERLOOKED.

By H. K Sanders, Agent in Swine
 HusbanGly, Extension Division. Uni
 yelsity of Arkansas and U. 5. De
 partment of Agriculture, Co-operat-
 ing
 Proper housing is essential to sue cessful swine production, yet it is of tentitees overlooked Dry, sanitary, comfortable conditions must be pro vided if one wishes the best returns in pork producing business. Sensible shelter is in order because il saves feed, provides comfort. and saves money.
 Swine are quite susceptible to the unfavorable influence of dampness, cold, heat, and drafts The new born pigs farrowed in January February or March must be housed intelligently in warm, dry, well-ventilated quarters If good returns are to be expected.
 Plan to build a hog house now to protect your hogs in the summer from the sun and to protect them from the cold next fall and winter. Satisfac- tory houses for hogs should possess these requirements, namely: Warmth. dryness, abundance of light and sun light shade, ventilation, sanitation. safety, comfort, and convenience. The above hog house carries these require ments, and the following bill of ma terial will give you an idea of how little it takes to build a good, ser viceable hog house.
 The Iowa Movable House has sever al advantages because the location may be changed when desired, isola- tion may be secured quickly ventila- tion is promoted, construction simpli- fled, it is adaptable to the renter, and artificial heat in a few pens can cas- fly be supplied during the cold win ter months for the young pigs. Thou sands of pigs froze this winter in Ark ansas. Let's not allow this to occur again. One man in Saline county saved only r out of 52. Another man in Randolph county lost 22 pigs ou. of 22 Another man in Searcy county had the same luck and thus it went over the entire state. Ii you arg in terested ill good hog houses write to the Extension Division, Old State House, Little Rock, Ark, for Bulletin on Hog Houses.

WATCH FOR THE SWEET POTATO
 WEEVIL.

Buy and eat Arkansas sweet pota- toes only. Plant nothing but Arkan- sas grown slips This is the advice given 10 the people of the state by George c. Becker, Entomogolist, Uni versity of Arkansas, because the sweet potato weeyil, destructive in- sect which is spread by being carried in shipments of sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips, has long been known to occur in Texas and Louis jana and is now dangerously close to the Arkansas line and may prove a dangerous menace to Arkansas sweet potato growers.
 Nature of Its Damage.
 The sweet potato weevil and it's larvae bore into vines and roots of ~the sweet potato and the larvae or grubs work their way down the stem of the vine of the sweet potato where they cause their greatest damage. Here they tunnel out in all directions, leaving their burrows filled behind them with a powdery looking excre- ment Sweet potatoes may become so badly infested that they are rejected even by hogs, and weevils may be come numerous enough in field so as to make the crop total failure.
 In order to avoid the introduction of this pest the State Plant Board al its meeting held in Rogers, Ark, or March 18th enacted most drastic rules which call for the destruction of all sweet potato slips and othel products coming into the state ant found to be infested with the weevil consequently, the safest plan is to bu, the home grown products and thu stop shipments from guestionabl sources.
 Every farmer will find it to his ow, interest to keep constantly on tn lookout for this pest and report c send any suspicious weevil or pot' tees immediately to the State Ent' moIoglst, University of Arkansa Fayetteville

REDUCE SWEET
 POTATO LOSSES
IT IS SAID MUCH OF THE LOSS DUE TO DISEASES MAY BE
 PREVENTED.

HyaIohn A. Elliott. Plant Pathologist
 Arkansas Agricultural Experiment
 Station.
 Ii has been proved by repeated ex- periments that many of the diseases of the sweet potato can be controlled or very much reduced by proper seed selection and treatment, and crop TO- tation Clean seed planted in clean soil will produce a clean crop. Badly diseased seed cannot be made safe by aAy treatment, and such seed should be discarded
 Treatment For Sweet Potatoes.
 First: Choose seed that is as clean as possible.
 Second: Treat the seed. Treat ment: tUse care as this is very pois- onous). Corrosive sublimate 1 ounce, water 8 gallons. Let the potatoes soak for 20 to 30 ninutes-not longer. Formalin may be substituted for cor rpsive-sublimate, in which case use l pint of 40 per cent Formalin in 90 gallons of water. Soak for two hours mot longer. Corrosive-sublimate is better).
 Third: Bed in clean, disease-free sand which has not been used before and is not from field where pota- toes have been grown. If crop has been badly diseased, change the loca- tion of the bed to clean soil.
 Fourth: Plant in field free from disease If a field has produced a diseased crop do not use it for grow ing potatoes for at least two seasons. If this plan is followed carefully a clean crop of potatoes should be raised.
 Clean potatoes, carefully handled and stored in clean, properly yent1iat- ed and heated houses, will keep with very little loss.
 Nematode or Eel Worm: This para site causes swelling and cracking or the roots Treatment does no good Do not plant such roots, and do not plant root crops in infested soils.
 Diseases Spread By Infected Seed
 Sweet Potato.
 Black Rot: This disease 'causes regular black spats on the roots. II bedded, the sprouts become infected and spread the disease to the field. In- fected plants produce diseased roots which, if stored, cause serious loss in storage. Infected roots are not fit for food. Never bed such seed.
 Mummy Rot: This disease causes sunken spots on the surface of the po- tato and may entirely destroy it. The inside of the root is brown or black. It is spread in the same manner as black rot and causes heavy losses in storage. The disease does not injure the taste of the part of the root not destroyed. Never bed roots with this disease, as treatment will do no good.
 Soil Stain: This disease affects on Iy the skin, and infected roots may be bedded after being treated. If not treated, the disease spreads and causes much loss due to shrinkage in storage
 Yellows or Wilt: This disease causes browning or blacken.ng of the inside of the roots and stems, and wilting of the vines. A cut end shows dark ring on the inside. Treatment does no good. Never plant such seed
 Pit" or Pox: This disease causes pits and scabs on the surface of the potato Badly pitted roots should not be treated, as the infection may be too deep to be reached.

1t was undoubtedly on this show
ing that the plan huggested of re-
doubling the American effort was
promptly approved by President Will
son and every resource OF the nation
in men or money or supplies pledged
to the great task.
The decision, It was already known
was reached here late in July after
the battle to drive the Germans back
from the Marne was so far progressed
that a great victory was assured
Secretary Baker said, however, that
it had teen under discussion for IA
considerable time at Versailles. This
was taken to mean that the leaders
at Versailles are sure of victory now
on the cool basis of organized fight
ing power backed by limitless re-
sources in war materials and the
drive today in Picardy brings that
victory one step nearer.
