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

By A. D. McNair, U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, Office Of Farm Man.
agement in cooperation with E1-
tension Division, University Of Ark
ansas.
The scarcity Of farm labor for the
present year requires that plans be
laid to make what labor we have 90
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 OF 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 ia may
be 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, II will
take about six hands" and six mules
to farm 100 acres.
II, however, 45 acres are planted in
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 Ave mules.
II "a acres are planted In cotton fol.
loved by winter cover crop. "a acres
In corn, "a acres In oats or wheat fol-
lowed by cowpeas, "a 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, II 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 Ia
scarce IL VIII be well 10 plan
the crop system so that Ave men
and Ave mules will take tho place
Of six OF each and In some cases
the third plan may be adopted with
a still further reduction In the labor
needed.
While such plans would reduce the
cotton acreage considerably they
wonld not reduce the production In
the same proportion. The land would
bo kept In better state OF fertility
and hence the Yield of cotton and
corn per acre would be considerably
Increased, II would be case OF rails.
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.

Confne the hen to brood coops and
help save millions of baby chicks lost
by allowing the mother hen to lead
them about through the wet grass
and weeds. A box or barrel with slat-
ted front confines the 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 coops clean, dry and
free from lice and mites.

SECOND STORAGE DAM IS NOW
 ASSURED
PRELIMINARY PLANS ARE PERFECTED FOR BIG RESERVOIR TO BE CON- STRUCTED ON WILLOW CREEK.
(From Tuesdays Daily.l

According 10 well authenticated re- ports the Prescott Farms Company.
 which acquired a short time ago the
 holdings of the Hassayampa AL
 falfa Farms Company, IS to add an
 other water storage unit on Willow
 creek
 This decision seems to have been
 reached last week, when Messrs.
 Shaw and Pyle, of Bcment, H., two
 of the principal owners, were in the field on an inspection of the inter- csts and perfected preliminary plans
 for tHs undertaking. The date set
 for construction was not learned. but it is quite probable that inside of two months work will be under hcadway. if not al an earlier date. The site for this storage IS at the point prev lously decided upon by the selling company. but what type of a dam IS to be built is not known. Data preserved shows that Willow creek will far exceed in storage capacity that of Lake Watson on Granite creek, while records for its water shed show an equal flow to that of Granite creek, hence it is desired, to conserve the maximum, as against the minimum of Granite creek, owing 10 the latter being restricted by its inadequate storage facilities. It was contemplated after the present com pany acquired the property to ex- tend the dam at Lake Watson an ad- ditional 20 feet in height, but this enlargement has been found imprac ticablc as it would encroach on the right-of-way oi the s. F. F. & P. rail road. and force the removal of the rpadbed to a higher elevation for oyer one mile south.
 Another essential factor to support q second storage is that reclamation of an additional tract estimated at over 10000 acres may be accom- plishcd. This is not possible under present conditions as all flood waters of Willow creek are lost. When con- Structcd the Willow creek dam will be situated within onc-half mile of Lake Watson on Granite creek, when the water of both storages will bc diverted to a main irrigating canal on Granite creek within one mile north of each conserving center.
