Argentine Bonds Look Cheap Now

your opinion In regard to Argentine per
cent external bonds. due 1915? Owing to
The rate of exchange with England at this
time. these would seem to be good buy.

Stock EXchange.-J. NJ. J.
Answer-The Argentine sterling
per cents are due 1856 They sell for
about $500 per flo0 bond. The govern
mont OF Argentina has enjoyed good
credit. and the bonds are safe, in our
opinion The low rate Of sterling ex
change causes these bonds to sell at
this figure. We believe they offer very
good speculative investment opportuni-
ties. The per cent bonds are due
1945 They sell for about S640 per
s20O bond. These are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange. The 4 per
cent issue may be purchased from

Feed 1,250,OOO Children

Danzig was so overwhelmed for a time, especially with Jews trying to reach America, that the city appealed to the American warehouse for food. For a time the American Relief As sociation and the Quakers were feed ing 1,250,000 children. This was re- duced to half million. This situation has become so bad again that the num- Der now being fed is 100000.
 Reports from Austria are no less black. The number of children being fed has increased and will again be increased if funds from America are not available. American generosity at present time is keeping 300,0O0 Austrian children alive.
 In Germany the Quakers have won a place is humanitarian history by feed ing 650,000.
 The Americans here from various sections express belief that there will be no permanent relief to the empty European stomach until Russia is again permitted to help feed the world. These men are by no means Bolshevists. In fact they have but little interest in the political condi- tions in Russia. They see only the economic side of the problem of the daily bread for millions in Europe They take the stand that the food and economic situation in Europe iy so bad that selfish politicians must stand back if vast calamity is to be avert ed this winter.
 The attitude of France in making the recognition of the French debt point No. 1 in her policy toward Rus sia instead of keeping it somewhat in the background is bitterly critisized by men who are in daily contact with the suffering sections.

BEE KEEPING PROFITABLE
 BUSINESS FOR THE FARMER

Down near Eldorado in Union coun- ty where oil is the chief topic of con versation and the population dreams of anticipated wealth, lives a farmer, c. M. Murphy, who is content to la bor for part of his income in an other manner. Mir Murphy is a bee farmer and his laborers drill into the flowers for the golden stream" in- stead of going into the earth.
 Should anyone pass the little farm of MT. Murphy they might not be struck with any show of great income but should they stop and inspect the methods used in preparing the honey for market they would become inter- ested in the process and have little wonder that bee keeping after all has it's fascinating features.
 In house which has been carefully screened to keep out the bees and in- sects MT. Murphy prepares the hon. ey for market. He has large ex- tractor for removing the honey from the comb and an abundance of one pound glass containers on which he puts an attractive label for the mar keting of his product.
 1t was only recently that MT. Mur- phy began farming bee farming but he now has 37 hives in his colony and is constantly adding more. This sum- mer he has purchased several queens from bee-keepers in Texas and Louis jana and is introducing them into his hives. In September 400 pounds of honey were taken from 16 hives alone. For the extracted honey MT Murphy reeves 40 cents pound which is evidence of the profitable ness of bookkeeping in Arkansas and shows that all those who live in the country do not have to depend upon cultivated crops for their entire. source of income.

For the past several years promi- nent hog feeders in the corn belt states have been buying Arkansas hogs as feeders and have obtained good results from feeding the animals of better type", says Mir Reid "In- ouiries are now coming to US for as- sistance in locating good hogs suitable for feeding.
 "The young smooth, thrifty hog weighing from 80 to 125 pounds is in most demand as a feeder. Some buy CTS prefer hogs which have been im- munized against cholera, while others wish to have the hogs immunized af- ter buying. About 125 head of such hogs are required for a carload. A load of smooth uniform hogs of this weight is very attractive to the man who has corn to feed and they will sell almost in line with fat butcher hogs.
 While many farmers who have good corn crops will find it more pro- fitable to feed their hogs for the late winter or spring market, there are others who will receive the most pro- fit from growing the animal to a fat tening age and then selling. A sur vey is now being made of the feeder hog situation in the state in an effort to assist hog growers who wish to sell directly to hog feeders"

HARD WINTER FACED BY ALI
 OF EUROPE
Russia Must Become Granary, Say
 Officials

Berlin-Until Russia again becomes a producer, until the barrier built up against her is taken down to enable the export of surplus products, until Russia again becomes the granafy of Europe-Europe must continue to starve and thousands of Europeans die directly of starvation or indirectly due to under nourishment.
 Such is the view expressed today by members of Herbert Hoover's Amer ican relief warehouses.
 Walter L. Brown, head of the re- lief and the feeding of children, with his head office in London, called a con- ference of the relief warehouse work CTS to meet here today to discuss the situation. About 20 from Poland, Aus tria, Hungary, Germany, Bohemia and elsewhere will attend. These include MT. Brown, Maj. Mitchell, Maj. Philip H. Carroll and Capt. Ringland.
 "Our reports indicate that Europe is facing the worst winter since the world war began" one of the members declared. He said that large pro- portion of the Poles were facing abso- lute starvation due to the Russian war which caused neglect of some crops and the spoilation of others. The American Red Cross in Poland has de scribed the coming winter as one that will be much worse than last.

COTTON STORED IN SEED IS I'M
 PROVED IN QUALITY

In holding cotton for higher price the farmer will gain by holding it in the seed rather than in the bale, ad- vises E. A. Hodson, agent in cotton marketing demonstrations with the Agricultural Extension Division University of Arkansas.
 If seed cotton is stored before gin ming the fibre is actually improved in quality, says MT. Hodson. "Oil from the seed is absorbed by the f. bres and gives the cotton a better body. At the same time weight is added to the fibre as is shown by the gin turnout.
 "Seed from cotton that has beer stored before ginning dries out SC that it is not likely to heat and deter iorate in storage. Seed that is allow ed to dry out well before ginning is much better for planting.
 "A further advantage of storing be- fore ginning is that the cotton stored in the seed will be stored under cover The ginned bale is frequently left out in the weather. If the farmer has nc warehouse facilities and his cotton is not for immediate sale it is best te hold it in the seed".

Many holders of Liberty Bonds, not registered, are failing to have their bonds of the First, Second and Third issues exchanged for the per manent bonds which the Treasury Department is prepared to deliver.
 The last coupon on the First Lib erty Bonds, per cent, were due Dec, 15, 1919, and the 4 IA First bond coupons were due June 15, 1920. The Second coupons, Nov. 15, 1919 and May 15, 1920, and the Third Liberty Bonds last coupons were due March 15 1920.
 While many holders have submit ted their temporary bonds for ex- change, there are hundreds of holders in the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis trict who do not appear to know that the bonds issued them at the close of the campaigns were merely tempo rary bonds, and when the last cou- pons attached became due that they were to be exchanged for new bonds

ARKANSAS FARMERS PROFIT BY COOPERATIVE MAR
 KEEPING

Arkansas, working in cooperation with the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, was able to save more than $86,5G0 through cooperative market ing of live stock and other products.
 During the year a definite plan for the organization of cooperative live stock shipping associations was work ed out and two associations were formed. Short courses in live stock marketing were held at four points in the state. An investigation was made of the states livestock ship ping pens Assistance was given farmers in the cooperative shipping of 333 cars of cattle, hogs and sheep from 39 different counties, which re- suited in an estimated net saving of $73,548 to 3,030 cooperating shippers. Two auction sales of purebred stock were attended and individual breed CTS were assisted in marketing their animals.
 Sweet potato growers were aided in organizing a state exchange with To- cal organizations at 21 points and a membership of more than 250. Fifty two cars of sweet potatoes were mar keted at an average of 31 cents a bushel above the prices offered by To- cal buyers on the same dates with a profit to the growers of more than $8,000. Investigations were conduct ed regarding different types of sweet potato storage houses, and plans and specifications for approved houses were furnished growers at 62 points in Arkansas and five points in other states.
 Cooperative shipping during the year saved growers $4,000 on 12 cars of white potatoes and $500 on 10 cars of watermelons. Six associations for marketing white potatoes were formed.
 Demonstrations held during the year in grading sweet potatoes were AZ in number. Twenty eight demon- strations in packing and loading sweet potatoes, nine in grading and loading white potatoes and 10 in grading and loading watermelons were held during the year
 After study of the proper care of cars of perishable products, the prac- eiCc ol ScHoiiiS messenger WlIH tne car was followed, with the result that loss and damage in transit which had ranged from $50 to $250 on a car of sweet potatoes, was reduced to prac- tically nothing.
 Six pools of wool were formed, representing 35,000 pounds of wool which was graded by Bureau of Mar kets graders at the assembling points A marketing committee was selected to dispose of the holdings at the most favorable time.

SHOULD PROTECT SEED CORN
 FROM FROSTS AND FREEZES

Efforts which have been put forth in the field selection of seed corn will be lost unless the seed corn is proper ly stored for the winter, states H. K. Thatcher, district farm demonstration agent for North central Arkansas.
 The first step in preparing seed corn for sotrage is to cure and dry it so as to protect it against any severe frosts or freezes. The principle of curing seed corn is to so place or ar range each ear that there will be a free circulation of air around it. Ears may be tied together and swung on poles or rafters. The most practical method is to drive nails in "2x4" and string the ears on the nails thus ar ranged. Wooden lattice frames may be made on which to lay the ears for storage. Patent wire hangers for the same purpose may be purchased.
 Care must be used in drying out the kernels and cobs thoroughly. Then low temperatures must be avoided, as freeing will injure the germ and thus either kill it entirely or lower the vitality. The crop this fall espec- ially needs close attention in drying as the entire corn crop is inclined to be sappy because of the late fall rains.
 One should also not forget to pro- tect the seed corn against mice and rats and other pests.
