One peck, about fifty cents worth of velvet beans, will plant an acre if properly planted in the corn. This acre seeding will produce with only an ordinary crop as much as two tons of yege- table matter containing about 90 pounds of nitrogen, nearly all of which has been extracted from the ar. This crop of velvet beans is worth as much to the soil in fertility measured in terms of nitrogen as 400 pounds of cotton seed meal. The cotton seed meal at the present price would cost $37. 80, and this is the nitrogen value of your velvet beans to each acre of ground on which they are planted. Prac- tically all of this fertility is sav- ed to the soil even when the beans are pastured. A 200 per cent increase in acreage of this crop is what should be planted in Drew county this year.

War is one of the greatest character developing elements of a nation. This war has proven, exclusively, that the German people are not the peaceable, hu- mane ones that many supposed them to be before the breaking out of the war. The opportuni- ty has demonstrated their true makeup, and the result has shown the soldiers of the Ger man army to be brutal, inhuman and devoid of principle; while the political leaders are treacherous, intriguing and unreliable. This knowledge, which seemed neces- sary for the war to develop, will be of lasting value to the civil liZed nations of the world, and henceforth the German nation, whether in peace or in war, will be appraised according to its true merit.

Hon. Sam M. Taylor.

In our last issue appeared the formal announcement of Hon. S. M. Taylor, as candidate to suc- ceed himself from the Sixth Ark ansas District. It is the con- census of opinion that Col. Tayor will have no opposition, and this is exactly as it should be, for he is one of the most Joy. al, patriotic, and concientious members of Congress that ever held a seat in that body. He is one man who believes that his first duty is to the people and nation, and, therefore, whenev- CT Congress is in session, he re- mains at his post and looks after his country's interest. In these trying war-days the people of the Sixth District are fortunate in having Col. Taylor for their Congressman, for he is conserva- tive, painstaking and industri- ous. In his hands the interest and welfare of his constituents are safe, and the good people re- alizing this fact are proud to honor him with their support and confidence. Col. Taylor is both a patriot and statesman, and withal high-ton ed chris tian gentleman.

SOY BEANS.

Have you made plans to grow sufficient amount of forage crops for your hogs this year? Do not forget that the Government has asked Arkansas farmers to increase the hog production by 300. 1000 head. 1 know that the farmers in Drew county want ito do their part in this movement. However, to grow hogs success fully in this county or in any other county in the State, it is necessary to produce Forage Crops.
 One of the best crops which can be grown for grazing hogs is Soy Beans. It has been shown by experiments that cost of pro- ducing an increase in weight may be reduced from one half to three fourths by the use of this crop.
 The Alabama Experiment Station has made a number of experiments on the feeding val ue of Soy Beans. Results from these experiments showed /:
 1. When pigs were fed on corn alone it took 572 lbs. of corn to produce loo lbs. of flesh.
 ?. When the pigs were fed on one fourth of a ration of corn and were allowed to run on a Soy Bean pasture, it took only 54 lbs. of corn to produce 100 lbs. of flesh.
 In the latter case an acre of Soy Beans was equivalent to an acre of corn yielding 42.3 bush els.
 Soy Beans are quite similar in their nature to COW peas, but they have an advantage over COW peas in that they are more re- slstant to frost and yield a larg- CT amount of grain Soy Beans may be planted about the same time that corn Is planted or a. bout month earlier than COW peas. They are ready for graz ing from 90 to 120 days after planting. If Soy Beans are planted on April 1st, they will be ready for use for the hogs by July or August.
 Some farmers have difficulty in getting a stand of this crop. This has been due in many cases to the ground packing on the soy beans and the plants breaking oii as they were trying to push through the soil crust. dThis may be overcome largely by planting the beans at depth not to exceed ? inches. When thls IS done one is not likely to experience the difficulty of a poor stand.
 It is about one month before this crop should be planted, but seed are scarce this year; and, therefore, those who are plan nlng on raising soy beans should buy their planting seed right away.

Keep the Hogs Free From Worms.

Worms are great cause of loss of hogs in Drew county. The vitality of the animal is reduc- ed and it is thus made liable to cholera and other fatal diseases. The hogs should be cleansed of worms by giving turpentine in the slop each morning for three mornings at the rate of one tea spoonful for each 75 pounds of live weight. Follow this with large dose of castor oil given in the slop. After this is done use a charcoal mixture made up of the following proportions as a preventative:
 Charcoai Dusnei Hardwood ashes .............. 1 bushel Salt ...-.- =. ............... pounds Air slack lime ................. 8 pounds Sulphur ... .......................- 4 pounds Pulverized Oopperas . ? pounds
 Mix the lime, salt and sulphur thoroughly and then mix with the charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in two parts of water and sprinkle over the whole mass, mixing this thoroughly. Keep some of this mixture in a shallow covered trough where the hogs may get it at all times.
