WARNING OF FORAGE
 POISON IN THE STATE

A forage poison which kills large numbers of cattle in the south in some years is very prevalent in Ark ansas this year, according to the plant pathologists of the experiment station of the University of Arkansas.
 This poisoning is caused by an er- got, a fungous disease, of a very con- mon wild grass, which resembles "crowfoot" grass. The ergot suggests in appearance small rather dirty white popped pop corn grains scattered ov- CT the heads of the grass. Some heads have only few, while others are covered with them. Cattle eating these heads become weak and nervous. They have staggering gait, and when excited are apt to fall In this weakened state they often die for want of water or food, or fall into streams and drown. Cattle should be kept away from badly infected ar eas. A circular describing and illus trating the disease is being prepared by the department of plant pathology, experiment station, University of Ark ansas, Fayetteville.

TAKE PROPER CARE
 OF YOUR COTTON

Don't let trash, dirt, wet and dam aged cotton fix the price of your good cotton. Cotton growers know not to pick wet cotton and ginners know not to gin it. All know wet cotton is worth less money than DRY cotton. Every 10-year old boy who works in the cotton field knows it takes longer for the seed to dry out than the lint Cotton growers know full well cotton should not be picked until cotton and seed are thorougly dry
 The cotton crop has been greatly reduced by the work of the boil wevil, the leaf worm, the boil worm, cotton acreages reduction, and heavy rains The world is crying for America's cot ton at fancy prices and will continue to cry louder before the next crop. The world wide shortage of cotton and the firm stand of cotton growers in refusing to sell their cotton and seed below the cost of production has had a great deal to do in bringing up the price of cotton and seed.
 Due to the world wide shortage in oils and fats it looks as if the oil markets will continue to climb and for this reason the cotton farmers should receive better prices for their cotton seed.
