ONE WAY TO SOLVE
 FARM LABOR PROBLEM

No man can tell when it is going to rain but every one should plan ahead. While at work figure out at least what would be best to do tomorrow and day after tomorrow. Keep in mind that the plans which will bring the most money durng the working season are those that will keep all hands and mules the greatest number of hours during the day. Arrange your crops so that they will not all need cultivation at the same time. When it does rain, get ready for the next good day-look after the dull blows, hoes asd cultivators and see that everything is in good shape. A pior implement of any kind IS sure to cost you money because it cuts down the amount of work as well as the quality of work the operation can age of labor we must figure on all these things if we are to get maxi mum crops and consequently maxi mum profits from the farm

PLANT A BIG ACRE
 AGE OF COWPEAS

Do not fail to plant cowpeas. If necessary the South could get along
 pretty well on cowpeas, cornbread and bacon, and the vines and hulls from
 this crop are fine livestock feed. GoWneag can befsown with corn or af- ter wheat and oats and if planted by June 25 in Norh Arkansas and before July 15 in South Arkansas will still make profitable crop. Cowpeas will be ready for hog grazing in 75 to 9O days but if they are to be used for hay they should be cut before frost. h many secticss late plantings will not give enough time to mature the crop before frost. Cowpeas of the Whippoorwill, New Era, Black-eye, or Iron varieties are best and if there is enough labor they should be seeded at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. to the acre and planted in rows 30 to 36 inches, covered shallow and cultivated.

From the heu Cruss News BuIieun
the following quotations will bring
good cheer to those whose relatives
are In the service:
No better advice could be given TO
soldiers in camp or about to leave
for camp than this:
Tell your troubles to the Red Cross
field director"
In every camp and cantonment there
IS an official Red Cross representative
whose sole business Is to cater to the
needs of enlisted men.
II soldier is worried about his
family back home this Red Cross man
will see that the problem is solved sat
isfactorily.
Ii the soldier or sailor is sick in
camp and cannot write to his relatives
or family. the Red Cross man will at
tend to it for him.
In short, the Red Cross bureau of
military relief is organized to help en-
listed men in every way and the Red
Cross is eager TO have the men use
this service.
The Red Cross field director can be
found at Red Cross headquarters in
side the camp cantonment. No mat
ter what the soldier or sailors prob
lem may be, he will do well to consult
this representative.
One reason the American people re-
Gently gave S1IO,OOO,0OO to the Red
Cross was to continue this service and
enlisted men should avail themselves
OF it freely.
The families of soldiers and sailors
also should appeal to their local Red

Manager Found Him In Midst Of One
Of His Celebrated Stunts Of Scat

Him to Minors.

"Shufflln' Phil" Douglas has arrived
at last in the class Of valuable pitch
ers.
He broke into professional ranks at
Rome. Ca, in the old Southeastern
league In 1910. The next year he was
a star with Macon and the White Sox
looked him over in the spring of l912,
finally sending him to Des Moines. The
next year Comiskey took another peep
at Douglas. but he finally landed with
San Francisco club and, because Of his
erratic ways, was released to Spokane
in July, 1913.
In 1914 and 1915 Douglas tried on
number of new uniforms He was
transferred to the Reds from Spokane
in the fall of 1913 and reported to
them the following spring. only to be
sold to Brooklyn and then sold to the
Cubs by the Dodgers before the season
closed
In the spring of 1916 Joe Tinker ar
rived at Tampa, Fla. with his Cubs on

there ahead of him. And Phil was in

the White Sox failed to win the pen

stuck to him and defled the supporters
of the team. The winning of the

prepared by the United States Depart

The successful and economical pro-
duction of pork depends in a large
measure upon good permanent pas
lures supplemented by other forage
crops. There should be on an average
one acre of permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. Green forage is lit
tie more than maintenance ration,
and II rapid gains are desired hogs
should have liberal allowance OF
grain. Growing forage crops and graz
ing them of is good method of i'm
proving soils lacking in organic mat
ter.
Kinds of crops: (a) For the cotton
belt Bermuda, bur clover. white clover
and Lespedeza make good permanent
pastures. These should be supple
mented by small grains and rape for
winter. crimson clover and vetch for
spring. cowpeas and sorghum for sum-
mer, corn with soy beans, velvet beans
or peanuts for fall. CO.. For the CEN
tral and middle Atlantic states. includ-
ing the bluegrass region, blue grass
should be used largely for permanent
pasture. II should be supplemented
by rye for winter. rape for spring, red
clover for spring and summer. corn
with Soy beans and rape for fall. (c)
For the Northern and Eastern states
blue grass or redtop provides perma-
nent pasture. Supplementary grazing
should be furnished by oats anu peas
for spring. rape and red clover for
summer. and early field corn for fall.
(d) for the West grazing is furnished
by alfalfa and corn. Corn should be

National Game Of This Country Has

One of the curious effects of the war
is the international interest which has

Italy apparently is the most recent VIC
tim Of the baseball game. according to
DR.. Felice Ferrero, director of the
Italian bureau Of information in Wash
ington. Football, as played In Ameri-
ca, as well as the national game Of this
country. also has taken hold of the
popular interest in Italy.
The Gazetta dello Sport, one Of the
most influential sport journals of that
country. is raising fund for the pur-
chase of baseballs, bats and footballs
and the distribution Of prizes among
the soldiers to stimulate competition.
General Pennella, commander Of the
Second Italian army. in letter to the
Gazetta dello Sport, says that football
and baseball games nre Of inestimaNe
value in the training for war.

Fur Used Less,

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This is
partly on account of the very high
prices of furs now and partly because
women are at present wearing all

of fur over their suits and dresses. 1t
is thought this fad will carry into the
