The holding Of a Constitution al Convention, at this time, sug- gested to our mind a most inn practical idea. If the thing is finally framed and submitted to the people. not more than half of the voters of Arkansas will vote on 1t. Many Of the voters will be away, fighting their coun- try's battles, and many others will be in no frame of mind for studying and digesting it's pro visions. If Arkansas needs a new Constitution, at all, which may bet intelligently doubted, these are no times to frame one. or to vote on one when framed. The calling Of a convention was a mistake, in the first place, and the holding of one, when the del egates assembled, was another. Voting on 1t should be postpon- ed until peace is declared. A Constitution being the organic law of the land, and made tor endorsed) by the people, all the people, who are to live under 1t. and entitled to suffrage, should be given the opportunity to pass upon 1t. Let the men at the front have an opportunity Of looking at 1t before you put 1t over them.

Drew C0unty's Increase in Hogs
 over 1917 is 3l Per Cent.

Figures taken from the Food survey blanks for Drew County show that the increase in sows ,red for 1918 over that of 19I7 is 3I per cent. In face of the fact that the government request was for only 20 per cent increase, this shows that the people of Drew County are doing more than their big part in the grow ing of this necessary food. With thls increase in hog production md an expected reduction in corn yields due to dry weather, 1t will be necessary to provide means of feeding these hogs oth- 1T than the usual method.
 Pastures are essential to the growing of meat at profit. Rape, oats, rye and the elovers make goo1 winter pasture Wheat can be pastured by the hogs also Sow rape in Septem- ber at the rate of 6 pounds per acre on ground pre- pared as for turnips.
