POULTRY AND EGG DEALERS TO
 MEET AT FORT SMITH

The second Annual Meeting of Ar kansas Poultry and Egg Dealers As sociation will meet at Hotel Goldman, Fort Smith, Arkansas 10:00 a. m., April 26th, 1920
 It is urged that every dealer in poultry and eggs in the state identify himself with the association for the promotion and upbuilding of this great industry by encouraging pro ducers to raise better focks, to take greater interest in care and handling same, to gather and market the pro- duct often, to encourage those who deal in poultry and eggs to properly grade, pack and handle the product after delivery and to prevent the traf- fic in eggs unfit for for food.
 The Association is for every dealer in poultry and eggs and you are urged to lend your influence through the Association for the promotion of those practices which will result in more and better poultry in Arkansas more care and better handling with more profit to all concerned. The As sociation was organized last year by a representative Of the United States Bureau of Markets in cooperation with J. Ii. Tull, Field Agent in Mar keting for Arkansas.

PRODUCE QUALITY EGGS SELL
 AT QUALITY PRICES

Why buy and sell eggs on loss-off basis ? The answer must be plain to those who have given the matter con sideration. There are some. however who seem not to understand why eggs should be bought and sold on quail ty basis as is practically every other article
 When eggs are sold straight count, it means the buyer pays for all the eggs received regardless as to whether these eggs are good or bad. It must be recognized by every one that dealer who buys egg3 straight count pays for 2 number of eggs .,firh are latel t. be thrown out as unfit for food. As a matter of fact the dealer does no5 pay for the bad eggs brought in, 1t just seems that way. lie pays low enough price so that he can have a number of eggs thrown out and still make profit.
 The worst feature of this business is that the producer who is trying to build up his business and to bring only strictly fresh eggs to market, gets the same price that the person does who is careless of quality of his eggs. This is necessarily so because the buyer does not candle the eggs and so has no method of finding out the quality. Candling gives us a method of determining quality of eggs and every producer who is in terested in building up the business should demand that he be paid accord ing to the quality of his eggs and not acording to the worthlesSness of those brought in by others.

FULL VALUE OF ARKANSAS
 WOOL CROP NOT REALIZED

Arkansas makes 10 pretentions a 9 wool producing state, yet at pres ent prices the wool clip is valuable and should be given the care and at tention that it deserves. Sheep are grown on the farms as a sideline and both the sheep and the wool produced too often suffer the neglect and care lessness of handling as if 1t was a product of no value. This assuming of the the attitude of What can be gotten out of it is just that much saved that did not cost anything" has worked injury to the industry, says H. K. Thatcher, District Farm Agent with the Agricultural Extension Di- vision.
 The first step in marketing wool is the careful handling before, during and after shearing so that the clip may be in the best marketable con- dition. Burs lower the value of the

ANALYSIS OF SOIL DOES NOT
 TELL ALL THE STORY

Two samples of Chieot county soil are being analysed at the Arkansas Experiment Station at Fayetteville for two farmers who have not had the best results on parts of their farms, but, whatever the analysis re- turned by the experiment station, it will not tell the whole story, is fact pointed out by H. P. Wood, Chicot County Farm Agent.
 "The samples that will be analysed are an average of the hill and bottom lands of Chieot county, but the farmer should understand that soil analysis is of very little benefit in most cases" ," says MT. Wood "Soil from a hard packed road may show the same ele- ments in equal amounts as that from good field alongside. Yet the road will not raise crops. The difference is that of physical condition rather than from chemical composition.
 Fully 99 per cent of the trouble with the soils of this county and of other sections of the state is poor physical condition rather than lack of any mineral element. PIain old farming is all that Is needed. Many, many farms have been plowed, year after year, about two inches deep. Cotton has been grown continuously and nothing turned under for humus. The soil has come to resemble putty and concrete-the top inches putty, the next two inches concrete. No analysis is needed to show what the soil needs. IL needs a few crops of sweet clover or peas or velvet beans turned under DEEP. It will work wonders with such a soil. Rotting vegetable matter makes possible the necessary bacterial life in the soil. Deep blowing allows the air to go deeper into the soil and with added humus breaks up the hardpan or blow sole.

SWAT MIR. CABBAGE WORM
 WITH A CALF MUZZLE

A very cheap and effective method Of applying dust mixture to kill leaf eating insects is to line wire calf muzzle with II mesh screen, pro vide it with a stiff bale of wire or hickory and distribute the dust by sitting it through the screen on to the plants by twist of the wrist as the operator goes down the row. This way is much more economical and easier than the old bag method.
 Leaf eating insects such as the cabbage worm, potato beetle. tobac- co worm, and the like are best con- trolled by dusting with lead arsenate or Paris Green. On account of the burning of foliage by Paris Green, lead arsenate is preferable. It is best applied mixed at the rate of one pound of powdered lead arsenate to ten pounds of hydrated lime.

wool from 10 cents to $1.50 for the average clip. To prevent burs in wool careful handling and pasturing of the sheep are necessary throughout the season.
 4 warm sunny day should be se- iected for the shearing operation at time when the wool is thoroughly dry. 4 clean planed floor or table should be provided for shearing, ta- ble Is more convenient for working.
 The shears or clippers should be held close to the flesh to avoid double cuts in the wool. The sheep should be tied and held firmly to prevent the fleece from being torn apart when partly shorn. The fleece should al ways be kept intact.
 After the fleece has all been re- moved. all tags and wet wool should be cut off and handled separately The fleece should then fe rolled with the flesh side out and tied with paper or hard glazed surface twine Sisai or binder twine should never be used to tie a fleece since strands will get into the wool which cannot be re- moved and which will not take dye. The wool should never be allowed to come in contact with hay, chaff or dust which will adhere to 1t and thus injure its value. The wool should then be sorted and placed into regu- lation wool sacks. The clean wool, tags, wet wool, dead and black aeeces should all be packed into separate sacks.
 At practically all points wool may be sold to focal dealers, and can al- ways be shipped to a reliable firm who will handle it on a commission basis. The most satisfactory method for selling, however, is for the produ- cers too pool their wool and hold CO., operative sale. The county agent can be of valuable assistance in getting in touch with the wool producers of a county and thus have assembled on a specified date, a quantity of wool that will be attractive to buyers. If cir cult of sales in several adjoining coun- ties can be arranged, the conditions ,, are still more attractive to buyers. l Such sales are common among wool growers of Tennessee.
 In 1919 sales were held at Mari anna and Siloam Springs iii this state which were very successful. At the Marianna sale, wool sold higher than the St. Louis market quotation for the day. This was an exception, but the market price for the day should be obtained. The assembling in large lots and grading before sell ing eliminates the handling of small lots by local dealers and adds this profit to the amount that the producer obtains.
 By more careful attention in shear ing and handling and by availing themselves of the advantages of CO., operative effort in selling, Arkansas wool growers have an opportunity to increase the returns from their prod ucts as much as 20 to 30 per cent ot the price usually obtained, The pres ent market conditions seem to indi- cate that only the better grades ot wool will be in strong demand this season and a wider difference in price between grades may be expected mall- ing extra care more imperative. ! -O-
