FROM LIEUT.. FRED TILLMAN.

Below we publish letter from Lieutenant Fred Tillman of Fayette- vile. son of Congressman J. N. Till man, who has been with the Ameri- can Expeditionary forces at the front in France since last July:
 France, April 20th, 1918.
 Dear Father and Mother: As you see I have access to typewriter again. I go to the front again to- morrow. This time I will be attach ed to the French army at French Escadrille, as the Americans have no planes in action as yet it seems. cannot say enough in my letters about the seriousness of the war and it's apparent long duration. l wish that the American people could be in- duced to wake mp and quit talking about the war being over as soon as the United States gets into it. While we have accomplished much great deal remains to be accomplished.
 am sending you some camera pie lures, including enc of plane in which I was flying when 1t fell. The plane turned completely over and buried it's nose in the ground. My self and pilot were both unhurt ex- cept for a few bruises.
 I am in the best of health and am havihg some exciting times. The greatest battle of the centuries Is or. and we must and will win it. Rush air plane construction, which is of importance, also rush ship and send us more men and then still more men.
 Fred Tillman.

 I can't remember half the places. We came through Philadelphia just before dark last night I was asleep when we came through New York City. I am going up there in day or two. We get round trip ticket for roc. It is only one hour ride on the street car.
 We unloaded this morning tThurs- dav). This Is some camp; they are coming in here all the time and also leaving.
 And just as expected, was asleep when we crossed the Mississippi Riv- er. We crossed on boat The train ran onto it and it ran on the river. We crossed Lake Ponchartrain It was five miles across. 1t is some bridge When we got in the center we just could see buildings on each side. We crossed the Potomac River times. The Hudson IS here close to us. Saw it this morning. Saw lots of steamers up the line.
 It is cool up here. It showed every day last week It Is raining some to- day. It looks funny up here. When we left the south corn was knee high in places I saw one field of oats heading. Saw one patch of rye in the shock. Saw yoke of oxen run away and saw 1 yoke hitched to one log wagon. I saw lots of things along the line too numerous to mention. There is bunch of negroes in the barracks next to ours.

KEEP 4 FEW AENS-AOVANTA ACE
 OF HOME POULTRY.

Everyone should keep small flock of laying hens whether on town or village lot. or in city back yard" says Fl. B. Lsnsden. Poultry Husband man. Extension Division. University of Arkansas. Tt is true that the value of the product from each Aocx is small. but the aggregate is large and will help considerably in the pres ent crisis. A small flock of hens. even as few as six, should produce egss enough for family of four or nve persons and by the preservation cf surplus eggs produced during the spring and early summer the usual pe- riod of scarcity can be provided for.
 Remember. such flock will pro duce eggs and fowls for the table at little cost by utilizing as feed all ta- 5le scraps and other waste products. such as oeet tops, turnip tops, carrot tops. potato parings. onion tops. etc. which will be relished by the hens. Never feed them mouldy cake or bread or throw dish water in their pail.

HOME PRODUCTION
 IF FoOJ E UaI1,l,jED
GAN TIE A7XANSAS FARMER PRODUCE AL COTTON
 PROFlTt4 3LY?

By W. (. Lasseter. Director Agricul-
 tural Extension Division, University
 of Arkansas.
 For many years the agricultural agencies of the South have urged the home production Of food and feed supplies The reason given was that such a system added to the profits of the farm. We have scattered through out Arkansas and throughout the South innumerable progressive farm CTS who are living examples of the correctness of this teaching These men have grown their home supplies cotton as a cash crop. These men have prospered and today are owners of unmortgaGed farms.
 However, the question has been raised as to the effect of the high price Of cotton upon the profits under a system of this kind Many farmers today believe that they can better af- ford to grow cotton and purchase their supplies Of food and feed that are used while the cotton crop Is being produced
 All Cotton Will Not Pay.
 Ii is true that with cotton at 36c per pound many farmers of the state will be able temporarily to make bet ter profits through adherence to cot ton as one crop. However, these same men will be surprised when they come 10 reckon with the costs of feed Cotton is worth only that which it will buy. If cotton at BOG per pound will buy no more in the way of food and feed than il would at 12c per pound. then in reality 1T is worth no more. Careful comparison of the re- tail equivalent values of cotton In July. 1914, and under present eondi- tions show that on the average the purchasing power Of cotton today is practically no greater in food and feed supplies than 1t was before July. 1914. Previous to July. 1914. the ay- craze for cotton might we'll be said to be 12e per pound or $50 per bale. With recent prevailing prices it is worth BOG per pound or $50 per bale. Yet bale of cotton today will buy only one more bale of hay. will not buy as much corn. will not buy nearly pork. nor as much bacon, very little more ham. only few more eggs and a little more butter. only few mora sweet and Irish potatoes. On the ay craze. considering all farm products entering into the ordinary expenses of the one crop cotton farm, the pur- chasing power of cotton Is no greater today at 30c per pound than in 1914 at Pc
 If the progressive farmers of the food and feed previous 10 1914. why could they not prosper under present conditions by observing the same farm system?
 In producing our own food and feed supplies in Arkansas we can ressona, bly, say that We are not sacrificing in On the contrary. We. can say tkat we are rendering patriotic ser vice.
 Grow Food and Feed or You May No.
 Get it.
 Mir. McAdoo, Director General of the Railroads. says for us to grow it- that if We do not grow it We may be unable to get it.
 May every cotton grower in Arkan- sas sign the food production pledge and receive his honor card to display, testifying 10 the fact that as patriot ic citizen he recognizes his duty to his Government, his duty to himself and family and the best principles of good business management as ap- piled to his farm.
