 MERS

Department of Agriculture, in a pre- liminary estimate, gives the value of farm products in the United States in 1917 at S19,443, ,S49, 1881, an increase of more than S6,000, 900, ,0O0 over 1916, and almost S9,0O0,000,000 over 1915.
 Crops proper were worth $13,610,- 100000, or 70 per cent of all farm products. Animals and animal pro- ducts, $5,S33, ,O00, 900, an increase of $1,500, ,000,0O0
 The principal items were corn, $4,- 053000,000; cotton, $1,517, ,500,0 ,000; hay, S1,359, ,500000; and oats, S1, 1,061, ,427, 900.

fruit to maturity before serious tam age is done is necessary.
 Poisons rarely are needed except as used in baits for cutworms, grasshop- pers etc, and as control measures against red spiders and worms when they threaten,tke crop in the spring. Thorough fall blowing, winter cover crops, early spring preparation, and repeated cultivation during the season are other important measures of in sect control.
 A single system of control, effective against most of the insects described in the publication, may be given ac- cording to season as follows: How to Combat Cotton Insects in
 the Fall.
 CD Pick the cotton as soon as pos sible.
 @ Destroy the plants as long be- fore frost as possible by blowing un- der or grazing.
 (3) Where practicable, blow the fields and plant a cover crop.
 (4l If feasible, follow three-year rotation, with cotton following some crop other than corn.
 Winter Measures Against Cotton
 Insects.
 Q) Clean up all turn rows and fence rows.
 (2) Gut and burn all weeds. (3) Plow under all stubble fields that are not to be used otherwise. (4) Grub up old stumps. Combating Cotton Insects in Early
 Spring.
 CD Keep down weed growths around the farm.
 (2) Flow to break up the winter cells of insects in the ground
 (3) When necessary, put out pois- oned baits for cutworms, grasshoppers, May bottles, and so on.
 (4) Plant as early as it can be done safely to avoid killing frosts. Plant a variety which is found to be the best producer in your own locality, and which has the qualities of rapid and prolific fruiting.
 (5) Space the rows in accordance with the best local experience. (6) Cultivate frequently but not deeply.
 Summer Measures Against Cotton
 Insects. CD Continue cultivation until the crop IS made, or as long as possible. CD Watch for the first appearance of worms.
 f3) Dust the cotton with powdered arsenate of lead as soon as grasshop pers or worms begin to attack, unless worm attack starts late and would hasten ripening.
 (4 Keep down the weeds.

NEVER HAD A BETTER OPPORTUNITY THAN AFFORDED BY SOUTHERN CATTLE
 ASSOCIATION.

This meeting will bring to Lit tie Rock over 5000 cattle breed CTS. They will bring numbers of their prize winners to be sold at auction. They will buy Ar kansas stock, and an industry that should be a principal one of the State will be built up. There is no better grazing State than Arkansas. There is no State where cattle have such natural protection during the winter, or where the feed in the open lasts so long as in Arkansas. With this to start the industry, and bankers willing to supply the capital, the merchants of the State should do their bit by urg- ing the farmer to take advan- tage of it. This is a convention year in Arkansas, and it is go- ing to bring a flow of immigra- tion that will mean not only more people, but more mer- chants. It is going to mean closer competition, and modern competition. That is going to be good for every one, and Lit tie Rock welcomes it. The job bers and manufacturers of Lit tie Rock have been forced to sell their goods on merit alone, for most buyers have declined to grant them the expectation of business from the argument of location or deliveries. We have gotten used to this and have proven to you that we are your friends, and that is going to keep you coming to the market that has always been and always will be your best-Little Rock.

HOW TO EATEN SNAKES.

Robert Kimball told me that he and another fellow cut into a bee tree. When the other man pried loose a block there fell out on Roberts feet the fattest snake he ever saw. The snake was about two and one-half feet long and three inches in diameter. There was a mate to it in the tree about the same size. Evidently they lad fattened on the honey as there was but little left in the tree. If you are fond of fat snakes you might try fattening them on honey.

FRANK SHELTON TAKES
CHARLEY CECIL'S PLACE
BoCkKEEPER FOR PARK BROS.
s--iN CLOTHING BUSINESS
4 FOR MANY YEARS.

Frank Shelton, for many years a
valued employee Of Bogatvky & Bau-
man has accepted the position of
book keeper for. Park Bros, and has
entered upon the duties of his new
job. Mr.. Shelton is one of the most
capable and faithful business men of
Columbia and his friends are pleased
to learn of his new achievements.
"Chid," as he is known to his in
innate friends, has been engaged in
the clothing business as salesman
for about fifteen years or more, and
the greater part OF that time has
been spent in Columbia He knows
practically every farmer in the coun-
ty, Mr.. Park in selecting Mr.. Shelton
to take Charley Cecil's place at his
store, could not have gotten be. ter
man or one more suited for the place.
TO fill Charley Cecils place is no lit
tie Job, but "Chid' will measure up
to the place.
Mr.. Cecil was called to the army
last week and left with the bunch
last Saturday for the training CAMPS,
and his friends predict for him the
same kind of a career as a sol Iier
as he has made as a business MAJ, a
career without a flaw.

SUSPECTED DESERTER
A. c. GODFREY WORE UNIFORM
UNDER SUIT OF OVERAlLS
SENT TO WORKHoUSE.

Held on charge of vagrancy but
suspected as a deSerter from the
army, A. C. Godfrey, who was arrest

that he wore when in the service
prior to this time. He had a registra-
tion card from the Norfolk, Va, local
