SHEEP MOST PROFITABLE
 ANIMALS FOR ARKANSAS

The sheep industry is undeveloped in Arkansas, yet it is not because conditions are altogether unfavor- able, says H. E. Dvorachek, profes- sor of Animal Husbandry in the University of Arkansas. There are several reasons why Arkansas farmers have not gone into sheep raising and the most important req son is that Arkansas farmers have not been thinking much about live stock of any kind prior to about 1914 when cotton prices hit the bot tom. Since that time, growing of live stock of all kinds has increased rapidly in numbers and sheep have increased especially since 1917.
 According to recent figures given out. there were on January 1st, 1920, in Arkansas POI, 1000 sheep. This number is still less than one half of one per cent of the total number of sheep in this country. So we still have lots of room for in- crease. One fact should be noted, however, and that is that although there was a decree of about 8 per cent in sheep in this country as a whole in the last ten years, Arkan- sas increased her number of sheep by about 33 per cent. This shows that Arkansas farmers are going in rather than out of the sheep indus try.
 It has been said by leading live stock authority that there never was time in American agriculture when sheep were not the most profitable animal on the farm. That is a very broad statement but came from a man with much experience with sheep and cattle in the north. Ar kansas conditions are even more fa- vorable.
 The animal return per sheep in fleece and mutton is greater in pro- portion to the money invested than the return from any other farn

BRIGHT FOR
 GROWING BEEF IN STATE

The future beef production in Arkansas is more promising than it has been in the past 20 years. nI 1900 there were 500 head of beef cattle in the United States for ev- cry 1000 persons. Ten years later this number had dropped to 450 head, and in 1919 this ratio was again decreased to $50 head for every 1000 of our population. An other fact that is interesting is that less than 1 per cent of the cattle in the United States are pure bred.
 There are several reasons for this beef shortage, says l.. I. Case, beef cattle specialist with the Agricul- tural Extension Division. Accord ing to figures given out by the Unit ed States Department of Agricul- ture, S5,000,000 acres of range land in the west have been taken up by settlers during the past ten years. Secondly, the dfouth which occurred in Texas and the southwest range country during 1916-17-18 cut the supply of beef cattle in that section Al per cent below normal. Furthermore, the drouth in the northwest in the summer of 1919 has cut the supply of breeding stock in that section considerably below that of former years. And most important the heavy drain on our beef supply in feeding the allied armies during the two years of war has seriously reduced our usual out put.
 With the number of our breed ing animals nearly cut in half and our great breeding grounds so hand icapped that they can never come back to former production, it is going to take years to bring our supply back to normal" MT. Case declares. "By taking a far-sighted view of the situation Arkansas farm CTS can take advantage of this op- portunity and receive a good profit for their trouble. Beef is staple food of the American people. We will always pay premium for good cuts of beef in spite of the advice of our food economists and vege- tarians.
 Greater production of beef and especially the production of high CT grade of beef can be stimulated on many farms. aBnkers can as- sist greatly and are usually willing to do so by financing the stocking of farms. The stocking of our cheap lands that are now lying idle will greatly increase the output from Arkansas. The replacing of our scrub bulls with good purebred bulls will probably do more to increase the quality of our beef supply at a smaller outlay of money than any other one thing.
 Better care and feeding should
The courier-index., 1920-03-19

go hand in hand with the grading up of our stock. The advantage of purebred and high grade stock is in its greater possibilities, and the breeder will not get the full bene- fit of the improved breeding if he gives only scrub care.
 Forty head of registered Here ford cattle will be offered for your consideration at Jonesboro, Ark, on April 1st. This sale will be made up of cattle developed in Arkansas and furnished by Arkansas breeders. They have been raised under com ditions similar to those existing on our average farms. They are not pampered show cattle, but are in good breeding condition and will look better every day you own them. Come to the sale and look over the offering whether you intend to pur- chase or not"

animal, unless it be the dairy cow. With the long pasture season in Arkansas and the small cost of shelter, the cost of maintaining a sheep should be very small.
 There is another reason why 8 small flock of sheep should prove profitable on every farm in Arkan- sas where livestock is kept. Sheep should not be kept as scavangers, but it is fact they do keep farms clean of weeds. They, of course, should not be required to support themselves on weeds alone. One of the difficulties encountered by livestock men in establishing perma- nent pastures is that weeds soon choke native grasses out. Sheep would solve this problem.

14O TO l90 POUND HOGS
 MOST DESIRED IN MARKET

Medium and light weight butcher hogs weighing from 140 to 190 pounds are in most favor on all of the principle markets. When animals of these weights show plen- ty of quality and some finish they sell at or we'll up toward the top of the market. These are the weights most often sold from Ar kansas and are the kinds that are profitable to the Arkansas grower.
 "The increase in hogs now being grown in the south is the chief cause for the, demand for lighter hogs" says T. Roy Reid, agent in livestock marketing with the Agri- cultural Division. There is not the demand for heavy sides and fat back to be sold over the, counter to the southern farmer as existed when heavy hogs were in demand on the market.
 "There is no doubt but that this condition will continue and light hogs will always be in greatest de- mand. This condition has not been understood by Arkansas stockmen and has caused many of the stories of market discrimination against Ar kansas hogs that are groundless. Only recently on two successive days the market top was set by Ar kansas hogs, a car of hogs from Benton county topping the market one day and hogs from co-opera- tive shipment from Columbia coun- ty selling for 15 cents per cwt. above the practical top of the mark ct the following day In all CO., operative shipments the hogs that show evidence of good blood and good care are selling at or near the market top. A commission man on the St. Louis market recently ex- pressed himself as being agree ably surprised with the average in quality and flesh on the numerous shipments this fall and winter.
 ''The improvement in quality, the market demand for lighter hogs, and better market conditions are bring ing the Arkansas hog into it's own. It is evident now, that as there is further improvement In quality, there will be little ground for the complaint that the markets favor hogs from other sections more than those from Arkansas"

nothing will equal mutton unless it be poultry. A fat lamb is delicious and is small, so that the meat can be used before it spells.
 By taking native or western ewes and using mutton ram, one can soon develope flock that produc- es profit from both fleece and nut ton. It is not advisable to under take to grow sheep on the wet bot tom farms, as sheep do best on dry lands. Care must also be taken to guard against parasites by changing pastures. The dog ques- tion can be solved by putting the sheep up in a corral at night
 Arkansas is developing her sheep industry, and will mean increased wealth to the state, as there is still much idle land that should be pay ing a profit to it's owner. And the sheep will turn the trick.

CLOTHES MOTH CAN BE
 KEPT OUT SAYS BAERG

With the approach of spring the householder is confronted with the problem of storing away the win ter clothing in such a manner that they will not be ruined during the summer by insect pests. These pests are commonly known as cloth es moths, of which there are two species common in this part of the country, says W. J. Baerg, ento- mologist of the University of Ar kansas.
 The case-making clothes moth is qulte small, measuring only one half an inch from tip to tip of the wings. The moth appears in the spring and may been seen fitting about the room during the summer, especially at night when they are attracted by ngnt. The eggs are laid in the ioids or such garments as are suit able for the larvae to feed on. As soon as the little worm" or larvae
 mas emerged from the egg it be- glns to make case, which is cylin- urleal tube open at both ends. The .uoe Is made of silk secreted by the arvae and also cut out of the ma .eflal upon which the larvae is ieedlng. As the larvae increases .h size it enlarges the case to meet ns requirements. There are proba- ply two generations in Arkansas in one season.
 The other species of clothes moths
 known as the webbing clothes
 moth. It is slightly larger than
 me one just described. It's life
 history is essentially like the one
 1l the preceding species. The
 iarvae or "worm," however. in
 s'ead of constructing case, spins

fortunately cedar chests are made largely for ornamental purposes and sold at prices that many house holders cannot afford to pay. How ever, a cedar box, built like a trunk can easily be made by good cabinet maker, such as employed by practically every lumber yard. The lumber for such a box would cost about five dollars and the labor perhaps not much more than that.
