ARKANSAS HAS NEW
 SOURCE IF REVENUE
oil Mills Are Equipped and Will Handle Peanut Crop
 of State
By c. ". Watson, Assistant Director

 University of Arkansas.
 Since the oil mills have guaranteed to handle tho peanut crop and suffi cient mills will be equipped to crush peanuts, this guarantees us ano,ner market for this crop. Consequently we can we'll afford to enlarge our acre age this seAson. The mills are now purchasing seed peanuts and will sell them to the farmers at cost in order to encourage increased acreage We may reasonably expect 8 good mar. ket this ySAr, inasmuch as the ern- bargo has been lifted on the exporta, ton of peanut oil.
 This will also give us another crop with which to diversity and will en. courage live stock production. The peanut Is classed as a legume or soil builder, The vines are extremely val uabls as hay and are equal to alfalfa and lespedeza as a feed. At the pres ont time peanut hay will sell for from P"p IO 700 pei LOll anu WS uldY SA- pect bale of hay for every two bushels of peanuts
 As feed for livestock the peanut meai, after the oil has been extract ed, is very high in protein and makes a splendid concentrated protein fooc Tor cattle, horses, hogs and poultry While it Is not advisable to feed pea nuts to finish hogs for market, they are considered one of the best foods for hogs, cattle and other live stock.
 All of the sandy soils of Arkansas are especially adapted to the growth of this crop. and on the average soils, we may expect a yield of from 30 t0 10 bushels per acre. The prepara- ton of the seed bed for other stand ard crops is sufficient for the peanut I would suggest that the peanut be planted in the hull and that they be put in sack and soaked in water from 24 to 4S hours before planting This will insure sufficient moisture and assist in germination. When pea nuts are planted in the hull, from one and one-half to two bushels will b. required to plant an acre The Whit and Red Spanish peanuts are tha ones recommended for planting. They will mature In 90 days, and should te planted during the month of May.

SEED PEANUTS FOR THE
 EARM MFR

Six hundred tons of the best White Spanish peanut seed have been pa-- chased by the A~kansae Cattcr Saol Crushers Association through the of fee of markets, Agricultural Exten- sion Division. University of Arkan- sas. This seed will be furnished 10 the farmers at cost Seed will be dis tributed in 100 pound bags by certain mills and the price. f. O. b. the Arkan- sas oil mills, will be approximately ssSo per hundred pound sack. which Is sufficient to plant two acres.
 The planting of all idle acres as we'll as acres to be planted over that are now planted to other crops where the soil Is adapted should be used for peanuts. Plant all corn that is yet to be planted in six-foot rows and put TOW of peanuts In the middle This is an especially good plan where a grazing crop Is desired
 Nineteen cotton seed oil mills of the state have agreed to finance the seed peanut campaign These mnfs will not necessarily act as dstribut- Ing points. They will, however. if the interest in their community war rants il. Any community that works I'D enough interest 10 use a car of seed can have ear shipped direct "a it.

 In order to save the thousands of tons of honey which go 10 waste in Arkansas every year, plans are under way for the organization of the Ar kansas Honey Producers Assoeia- ton. A meeting of the representa-. lives of the various bee keepers as sociatlons of the state and all others interested in the bee industry is being called to meef at the court house io Little Rock en May 3l by J. Y. O. mond, apiculturist of the Unite ' States Department of Agriculture, co operating with the Agricultural E& tension Division of the University of Arkansas. Arrangements are being made 10 have Dr. E. F Phillips, api culturist of the Bureau of Entcmol- ogy of Washington, D. C., present as a speaker.
 The possibilities of honey produc- ton in Arkansas are phenomenal, v states MT. Ormond, Thousands or tons 20 to waste every year for lack of facilities for storing it. Arkansas can be made the leading honey pro ducing state of the South because of the enormous amount of the dependa- ble nectar secreting fora. When the state organization is formed. Arkan- sas will be one the first states in the United States to form state as- sociation from representatives of tho various county organizations"

When Tobacco Was Taboo.

In 1888 the Massachusetts general
court ordered. writer comments,
shat no man shall take any tobacco
within 20 poles of any house, or so
near as may endanger the saIhe." In
1903 an act was passed forbiddlng the
carrying of fire through the streets ex-
cept in covered vessel, smoking, or
having in ones possession "any lighted
pipe or segar" In the streets or on the
wharves. The penalty was 81. II tbs

Inquiries are frequently received as
to whether the operation Of dehorn-
ing is very painful, and whether It
may not be classed as cruelty to ami
mails. Those who have an extensive
experience In dehOrning appear to
agree that the pain induced by the OPP
Grafton has been greatly overestlmat-
ed, as careful observation has shown
that shrlnkage in the yield of milk as
well as of butterfat following the de-
horning of cows is very temporary and
insignificant. On the other hand, the
worry, pain and cruelty often inflicted
by cattle upon their mates before be-
ing deprived of their horns Is much
more to be considered, and not infre'

farm organizations has greatly liz
creased, and the tendency at present
Is toward the formation of smaller CO.
operative units and the purchase of
small outfits. This comes from the ne.
cesSity for more economical use of
labor and the advent of the farm trac-
tor, the power of which can be well
utilized TO run small thrasher,
which, complete with wind stacker,
self-feeder and weighcr, costs about

small so that all members may get
their thrashing finished in about fiji
teen days. All thrashing is completed
In seasonable time, so that the grain
may be saved to best advantage.
There are two general methods of
ring cooperation, the most common in
volving the hiring of a thrashng out
at, the other its purchase.
Thrashing rings are beneficial mas
much as the thrashing calendar in a
neiGhbQrhOOd may be so arranged that
the work can be carried out with the
least possible loss Of time in moving
from farm to farm. AS job nears
completion the first men through,
knowing their assignments in the next
place, may go there Immediately and
have the grain ready to thrash by the
time the outfit arrives and is set up.
No time is lost either in contracting
for an outfit or in securing thrash
ing crew. Certain men may be used
to best advantage by assigning them
to one kind of work for the season.
Unless the weather man prevents

are completed in the circle, and thus

ing wagon boxes or hay leaders. Usu.
ally the thrushing season is greatly
shortened and this fnvOrs the timely
completion of the subsequent fall
work, such as blowing, seeding, dis
tributing manure, and so on. The
thrashing ring reduces the work of the
housewife, as there are less men to
feed during the harvest season.
When ring buys all the machinery

and possibly Il grain shelter or a ST.
lage cutter-and builds shed to house
the implements, the total capital under
prewar prices required usually
amounts to $4,000 or $4,000. When 1t
is possible for the company to hire a
good engine or some other part of the
equipment, it may not be advisable to
buy.
Thrashing for the various members
of the ring is performed on business
basis. an average days work being re-
garded as 1000 bushels of oats, or
about 1000 bushels of wheat or rye.
Record Is kept of the time put in by
each laborer and the costs of the work
are distributed among the members
on the basis of the amount of grain
| thrashed. Farmers interested in the
organization and promotion of thrash
Ing rings may obtain copies of the pub

Unrelabilty of custom thrashers.
labor complications which often arise
when two outfits reach neighbOrhoOd
| the same day, the expense of custom
thrashing, the careless and eXtrava-
CANT work of some hired machines, and
similar factors have caused grain
| growers In the corn belt to organize
cooperative thrashing rings for the
| purchase, maintenance and efficient
operation of thrashing machinery.
Benefits of the thrashing ring are
shown in an instance reported by the
United States department of agricul-
turc. One large thrashing ring which
has been particularly successful and
which has met all expenses and paid
for itself in four years out of the mon
ey ordinarily paid by the members for
custom thrashing is the Up-tO-Date
Thrashlng company of Livingston
! county, Illinois, which Is composed of
| ten members,who own 10 farms. The
partnership capital originally totaled
1920, and the equipment included n
20-hOrsepower steam engine, a water
| tank a separator with 34-inch cy-
| Under, corn shelter and a second
hand silage cutter, which has been re-
placed by new one. The total thrash
ing force usually employed in this
ring for field work consists of ten men
with teams to haul bundles; five
| pitchers in the field; three men with
teams to haul the thrashed grain; two
men to help unload the grain at the
barn; one man on the stack; one man
to operate the stacker; one man to
clean up about the machinery; one
water boy; and three men with the
thrashing outfit. This involves force
of 81 men. A ring of this size demands
capable management to insure sue
| cess.
On Smaller Scale.
A smaller thrashing ring, organized
last year in Fayette county, Ohio, con-
sists of three landowners, whose part
nership capital consists of $1,000
which represents the cost Of small
22-inch separator, with a clover-seed
| attachment, the power being furnished
by a 1924 farm tractor. These farms
| aggregate 400 acres Of small grain, a
little outside thrashing for hire being
done each year. Last year $500 bush
els of oats, 5000 bushels of wheat and
100 bushels of clover seed were
thrashed. The ordinary crew was
made up Of five men, with teams and
wagons to haul bundles; two men,
with 125-bushel wagon beds to haul
grain three miles: one man to manage
the outfit, and boy to help. Bundle
wagons were used to replace two or
three field pitchers. while fthe use OF
a gas engine also dispenses with the
water boy. The engineer has time to
help considerably about the separator.
With this small force this outfit was
able to thrash and deliver to the ele-
vator, three miles distant, an average
Of approximately 100 bushels of wheat
a day.
