Pastures Are Important Farm
Asset Sans Nelson

Pastures Are Important Farm
Asset Says Nelson
No farm large or small, where
live stock of any kind is kept
should be without some good pas
ture. A good pasture is a most
valuable farm asset, in the opin-
ion of Martin Nelson, Vice-Dean
and director of the College of Ag-
riculture and the Experiment
Station, University of Arkansas.
1t saves much feed that would
otherwise have to be produced
at considerable cost and it makes
possible keeping live stock in
better condition, insuring better
growth and better returns.
.'The pasture is, as rule, a
much neglected necessity" says
Dean Nelson. Good pastures
are worth the cost of making
and maintaining. They also con-
stitute natures best protection
Of the land. 1t is vital and time
| ly and important that the pas
ture receive consideration at
once. Now is the time to pro-
cure the seed to be sown. Now
is the time to clean up waste land
Of brush and rubbish, getting
ready for seeding grass, and now
is the time to pillow the cropped
land that is to be put into pas
ture. Preparation should not be
delayed. Grass seed, including
Ialso red, alsike and white clover
and alfalfa, should be seeded as
eearly as possible, which will be
! in February and early March.
Late seeding is far less certain
of success.
ION all new land, including
lstump and stony land, a most sat
isfactory way of seeding is to go
over the land first with spring
tooth harrow, then sow the
seed broadcast with special
care to scatter it evenly and fin
ish with spike tooth harrow or
brush. This method is satisfac-
tory and economical if done early

AGENTS VICTIMIZE loo
SALOONKEEPERS
Drug Stores Can Use Whiskey
IN Flu Prescriptions

New York, Jan. 23.-An or
ganized band of fraudulent rev
eenue agents." who are said to
have worked under direction of
a few dishonest agents of the rev
enue department, and which has
victimized more than 100 New
York saloonkeepers, hads been
uncovered and the ring-leaders
identified, it was announced to-
night by James J. Quigley, as
sistant supervising federal pro
hibition agent. Mr.Quigley de-
clared that the leaders of the
citywide swindle cannot escape.
! The amounts collected by the
"agents" it was said varied from
81 to $500, and in several in
stances large quantities Of liquor
were confiscated by the impos-
tiers.
The members of the band ac-
cording to Mr.. Quigley, were
carefully selected by the genuine
revenue agents, a. qualification
being the ability to use firearms
! in the event of a trap. The imi-
tation badge shown by the swim
dlers when they discovered a sa-
loonkeeper violating the law in
variably brought results, he add
ed, and little argument was re-
quired to obtain payment from
the frightened liquor dealers. In
one instance, he said the self ap-
pointed agents" visited saloon
with women companions and, af-
ter trapping the proprietor, de-
manded whiskey as well as mon
ey. Then they adjourned to cele-
brate, in a rear room.
California wine and Kentucky
whiskey are rolling into New
York at the rate of four car loads
daily, Mr.. Quigley asserted. The
wine is valued at $500 a barrel
and $50 barrels come in a car
load. The owners Of the liquor
have obtained permits placing
it in bond for sale to druggists
or manufacturers. The ship
ments were held up for car short
age. he said Or were delayed in

of streams which are just as
good with the snags in them as
they can be without them, but
when it comes to the pay roll for
employees he has the instincts of
a sweatshop manager.
The treatment of the postef-
flee clerks is a conspicuous eX-
ample of such procedure. The
clerks are worthy of a good en-
ployer. Uncle Sam as an employ
er is not worthy of their good

If the stumps are thick on the
land, small sized spring tooth
harrow is preferable.
IF land already under cultiva-
ton is to be seeded, the above
method done early, is satisfac-
tory provided the land has little
rubbish on the surface in the
form of weeds or stalks. It is
best to pillow such rubbish under
smooth the surface, sow the seed
and finish with a spike tooth
harrow.
where timber land is to be
converted into pasture, the tim
Der can either be cut off or dead
ened, grass seed sown with or
without any cultivation, and
goats, if they have sufficient
range, be permitted to stay on the
land and brouse back the brush
and sprouts.
"Where Bermuda is to be es-
tablished, it is best to pillow and
put the land in good state of
cultivation, lay off the land in
rows or checks and plant Bermu-
|da roots from eighteen to TWEEN
ty four inches apart. On new
land. not under cultivation, lodg-
ing must be found for the roots,
either by horse drawn nipple
ment or by hand tool, and cover
ed.
Orchard grass is reliable in
! all but the more sandy parts of
the state. On upland any one or
all of red clover, white clover
timothy, blue grass and red top
can be combined with orchard
grass. Blue grass is most sue
cessful on north slopes in the
northern part of the state
White clover and red top does
best on bottom land where sol
moisture is more plentiful. Tim.
othy and red clover can be grown
generally over north Arkansas
where the soil is well drained
and reasonably deep. Elsewhere
they do best on rich loamy soil
All grass should be given one
full year to establish itself before
stock is turned on, and then ever
/ pasturing should be avoided.

The U. S. As An Employer

Uncle Sam is splendid
spendthrift, but a stingy en-
ployer. He throws his money
away in a drunken baronial fash
ion, but when it comes to the
help he pinches every penny. He
builds grand postoffices where
low priced structures would serv
every purpose, and he disturbs
mud turtles by pulling snags out

services. They have not had an
advance in wages since 1907.
The scale then in force is unjust.
The employees protest and petit
ton, but they have refused to
consider the strike as a posi-
bility.
They uphold their end of the
public service equity. The gov
eminent says that certain en-
ployes must not strike. NUM-
cipalities say that policemen
and firemen shall not strike. The
federal government cannot have
strikes in service which must
be maintained for the well be-
ing of all the people. But the
government has not recognized
its end of the obligation, which
is to pay living wages and to adj
just wages to changing condi-
tions.
Two thousand regular army
officers have resigned in the last
year because they could not live
on their pay. The navy pay is
inadequate for officers. No
changes are made. The injus-
tice continues. The country can
not insist on service on one side
and refuse to pay for it.-Chica-
