BRIGHT FOR CROW
 ING BEEF IN STATE

The future beef production in Ar kansas is more promising than it has
 cen in the past 20 years. in 1900 there were 600 head of beef cattle in the United States for every 1000 per- sons. 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. Another fact that is interesting is that less than l per cent of the cat tie in the United States are purebred.
 There are several reasons for this beef shortage, says L. I. Case, Beef Cattle Specialist with the Agricuitu- ral Extension Division. According to figures given out by the United States Department of Agriculture, 65 100000 acres of range land in the rest have been taken up by settlers during the past ten years. Secondly, the drought which occurred in Texas
 
 ing 1916-17-1S cut the supply of beef cattle in that section 4T per cent be- low normal. Furthermore, the drought 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 breeding animals nearly cut in half and our great breeding grounds so handicap ped 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 sit uation Arkansas farmers can take ad- vantage of this opportunity and re- ceive good profit for their trouble. Beef is staple food of the American people. We will always pay a prem ium for good cuts of beef in spite of the advice of our food economists and vegetarians.
 Greater production of beef and especially the production of higher grade of beef can be stimulated in many ways. Bankers can assist 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 Ar kansas. The replacing of our scrub bulls with good purebred beef bulls will probably do more to increase the quality of our beef supply at a small CT outlay of money than any other one thing.
 Better care and feeding should go hand in hand with the grading up of our stock. The advantage of pure bred and high grade stock is in it's greater possibilities, and the breeder will not get the full benefit of the im- proved breeding if he gives only scrub care.
 "Forty head of registered Here ford cattle will be offered for your consideration at Jonesbor., 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 condi- tions similar to those existing on our average farms. They are not pam pered show cattle, but are in good breeding condition and will look bet ter every day you own them. Come to the sale and look over the offering whether you intend to purchase or not.

 difficulties encountered by live stock men, in establishing permanent pas lures is that weeds soon choke native grasses out. Sheep would solve this problem.
 :. As source of fsesh meat supply in summer on the farm, nothing will equal mutton unless 1t be poultry. A fat lamb is delicious and is small, so that the meat car pc used before 1t spells.
 By taking native ar western ewes and using mutton ram, one can soon develop a flock th.. produces profit from both fleece and mutton. It is not advisable to undertake to grow sheep on the wet bottom farms, as sheep do best on dry land. Care must also be taken to guard against para sites by changing pastures. The dog question can be solved by putting sheep up in 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 paying q profit to it's owner. And the sheep will turn the trick.

FORECASTS OF GREAT VALUE

Gus Farm Products.

The weather bureaus various fore
casting services are Of particular val
ne to growers of produce that Is
shipped in the winter, says the United
States department of agriculture.
Supplementing the general forecasts
which appear in the daily papers and
on cards conspicuously posted the bu-
reau issues, among other forecasts,
special warnings on which shippers
place much dependence. These tell
of the approach of cold waves and
permit carriers of perishable stuffs TO
give them the necessary additional
protection. or to delay shipment until
milder weather. One result OF this
special service to shippers, transpor-
tation companies, and allied interests
is that buyers are less subject to un-
certainty as to the arrival OF ship
ments, since the hazard of shipping
in cold weather is reduced. Another
result is a reduction In the amount Of
foodstuffs that is injured by cold.

WAYS TUBERCULOSIS
MAY BE INTRODUCED
Easy Matter to Transmit Disease
to Healthy Herd.
Various Means by Which Infection 10
Spread Is Outlined by Department
of Agriculture-Disorder
Develops Slowly.

tuberculosis may be introduced into
a healthy herd, says the United States
department of agriculture, by any of
the following means:
BY the addition of an animal that
Is affected with the disease; therefore
from herds known to be free from tu-
berculOsis, or from herds under SUPER
vision for the eradication of the dis
ease.
By feeding calves with milk or 9TH
er dairy products from ~tuberculous
cows; this frequently ecu where
the owner purchases mixed skim milk
from the creamery and feeds it to his
calves without first making it safe by
boiling or pasteurization.
BY showing cattle at fairs and ex-
hibitions reports have indicated that
numerous herds become infected
through mingling with infected cattle
at shows or by occupying infected
premises.
The shipment OF animals in cars
which have recently carried diseased
cattle and which have not been disin-
fected properly.
Community pastures; pastures in
which t~uberculous cattle are allowed
to Craze are a source OF danger.
In most cases the outward appear
ance of the animal bears no relation
to the degree Of infection. The dis
ease frequently develops so slowly
that in some cases 1t may be months
or ven longer before any symptoms
are shown; therefore be on the safe
side and have your herd tested.
