40 TO 190 POUND HOGS MOST
 DESIRED IN MARKET

Medium and light weight butcher hogs weighing from 140 to 190 pounds are in most favor on all the principal markets. When animals of these -yeirhts show plenty 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 Arkansas and are the kinds that are profitable to Arkansas growers.
 ''The increase in hogs now being rrown in he south is the cheif cause of the demand for lighter hogs" says T. Roy Reid, Agent in Livestock Mar xeting with the Agricultural Exten- sion Division. There is not the de- mand for heavy sides and fat back to be sold over the counter to southern farmers as existed when heavy hogs were in demand on the market.
 'There is no doubt but that this will continue and light hors will always be in greatest demand. This condition has not been under stood by Arkansas stockmen and has -rl,sed rrany of the stories of market against Arkansas hogs that are groundless. Only recently

In all co-opera tive shipments the hogs that show ev idence of good blood and good care are selling at or near the market top A commission man on the St. Loui. market recently expressed himself a being agreeably 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 bringing the Arkansas hog into it's own. It is evident now, that as there is further improvement in quality, that there olll be little ground for the complaint that the markets favor hogs from other sections more than those from Arkansas.

REID HAS MANY REQUESTS FOR
 ARKANSAS FEEDER HOGS

The spring demand for light weight and thin hogs or pigs for stocking the feed lots of northern farms is now beginning ana growers who have such hogs to sell, should list them with T. Roy Reid, Agent in Livestock Mar keting, Southern Trust Building, Lit tie Rock, Arkansas. A recent request for ten cars of such hogs has come rom Missouri and another request for 1000 head has come from point in Indiana. A number of northern feeders have been buying Arkansas hogs for several years and are re- questing information on sources of supplies from time to time.
 Animals in most favor are the ones which weigh from So to 150 pounds and which are in good thrifty grow ing condition without heavy feshing.

ARKANSAS COTTON GROWERS
 AROUSED

Col. T. J. Shackleford of Athens Ga, Vice-President of the American Cotton Association, concluded two weeks tour of the state at Blytheville last Friday in the interest of the As sociation. During this time, he made fourteen speeches at Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Camden, Hope, Ft. Smith, Rus ,ellville, Clarksville, Helena, Para gould, Jonesboro and Blythevlle. Wherever he spoke, he aroused the most intense interest on the part of the merchants, farmers and bankers, who gathered to hear him. As a di- -ect result of this tour, B charter memberships of $100 each were signed, besides large number of smaller memberships. This will en- able State Headquarters to proceed more thoroughly and systematically with the organization of the county units.

MOTH CAN BE KEPT
 OUT SAYS BAERG

With the app4oach of spring the householder is confronted with the p4oDlem of storing away the winter >lothing in such a manner that it will not be ruined during the summer by insect pests. These pests are com monly known as clothes moths, of which there are two species common in this part of the country, says W. J. Baerg, Entomoligist of the Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 The case-making clothes moth is quite small, measuring only one-half inch from tip to tip of the tiny wings. The moths appear in spring and may be seen fitting about the room dur ing the summer, especially at night when they are attracted by light. The eggs are laid in the folds of such gar ments as are suitable for the larvae to feed on. As soon as the little worm" or larvae has emerged from the egg it begins to make a case, which is cylindrical tube open at both ends. The tube is made of silk secreted by the larvae and also out of the material upon which the larvae is feeding. As the larvae increases in size it enlarges the case to meet it's requirements. There are probably two generations in Arkansas in one season.
 The other species of clothes moths is known as the webbing clothes moth It is slightly larger than the one just described. It's life history is essen tially like the one of the preceding species. The larvae or ''worm," how ever, instead of constructing a case spins track of silk wherever it goes
 Both species of clothes moths feed on wool, feathers, fur, dried skins, etc. The control measures recom- mended are for both kinds of moths. Naphthaline in the form of flakes ol as "moth balls" is very efficient l. preventing injury by clothes moths. This chemical will kill the eggs as we'll as the larvae in any stage of development. The napthaline should be used literally, at about the rate ot one forth pound to five cubic feet of space. Napthaline, however, has a disagreeable odor that remains with the clothes treated for some time For this reason some people do not like to use it.

 any householders cannot afford to pay. However, cedar box, built like trunk can easily be made by good cabinet maker, such as is em- ployed by practically every lumber yard The lumber for such box would cost about five dollars and the
