ONE WAY OF MEETING
 THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Adopt Crop Plan That Will Make "A the Most Money.

By A. D. McNair, U. S. Department Of
 Agriculture, Office of Farm Man
 agement in cooperation with Ex-
 tension Division, University of Ark
 ansas.
 The scarcity of farm labor for the present year requires that plans ne laid to make what labor we have go as far as possible. One important way of doing this is to use improved implements whereby one man can ac- complish more work. Another way is to plant less cotton and more feed crops and let hogs and cattle harvest the feed crops as far as possible. Cot ton requires more labor, acre for acre, than corn, wheat, oats or any of the hay crops, hence to decrease the cot ton area to some extent and plant feed crops instead means a saving of labor How much this saving is may De shown quite clearly by stating the number of men and mules required to farm 100 acres of land by different systems.
 Where two-thirds of the land is in cotton and one-third in corn, it will take about six "hands" and six mules to farm 100 acres.
 If, however, 45 acres are planted Tn cotton, 45 acres in corn and 10 acres in wheat or oats followed by cowpeas the 100 acres can be farmed by five 'hands" and five mules
 czY lowed by winter cover crop. "A acres in corn, "A acres in oats or wheat fol lowed by coWpeas, 24 acres in early cowpeas which are harvested for hay in August, two acres in sweet pota- toes and two acres in late Irish pota- toes, it will make 100 acres of crops which can be farmed with four hands and four mules.
 Some men will adopt one plan and some another, but where labor is scarce it will be we'll to plan the crop system so that five men and five mules will take the place of six of each and in some cases the third plan may be adopted with still further reduction in the labor needed,
 While such plans would reduce the cotton acreage considerably they would not reduce the production iu the same proportion. The land would be kept in a better state of fertility and hence the yield of cotton and corn per acre would be considerably increased. It would be a case of rais- ing larger yields of cotton on fewer acres and of having an abundance Of feed crops not only for work stock. but for the production of some ami nal products for sale.

By H. B. Lansden. Poultry Specialist, Extension Division, University
 of Arkansas.

Confine the hen to brood coops and help save millions of baby chicks lost by allowing the mother hen to lead and weeds. A box or barrel with slat- ted front confines tho hen and allows the chicks to run as they please and return to the hen to get warm. After two weeks they will be strong enough to follow the mother. Try this plan for one season and you will be sur prised at the number of chicks you will save. Keep GOODS clean, dry and free from lice and mites.
