through live stock proftably.

Hogs: We recommend the con-
seryative development of the hog in
dustry as farm conditions will justi-
fy for a cash crop in limited way.
Use a SOW and from one to two sows
per plow. Due to lack of space here,
you are referred to extension circular
q, "a Forage System for Sow and
Two Litters,' for further informa-
ton, copy of which will be furnished
on request.
Potatoes: We recommend the de-
velopment of the sweet potato in
dustry, planting one acre per ploW
of the Porto Rico variety. Vine cut
tings should be used in setting the
acreage, taken from small area of
slip settings that will be necessary
to have in order to grow the vines.
This crop is marketable in car lots
during September and October; be-
ing marketed in cloth-top Slated bar
rels similar to the method of market
ing Irish potatoes along the coast.
We should have curing house for
storing the crop for sale during the
winter and spring.
Corn and Velvet Beans or Peanuts
or Soy Beans or Cow Peas: We rec
ommend ten acres per plow of corn
with one or more of the above crops
for hogging off during the fall and
winter. All corn cribs that can be
made air tight should be made so at
once and all corn cribs built in the
future should be made air tight in
order that we can fumigate to de-
stroy the weevils. At present the
corn is so badly damaged with wee
wills that it is unfit for sale.
For early planting use Osceola vel
vet beans and late planting use the
Eearly Speckled velvet beans. Use
the bunch beans where farmers wish
to gather fodder, but we do not advise
this practice.
The variety of cow peas best suited
to this section is Brabham.
Plant the fat or runner variety of
peanuts for fall and winter hogging.
It is advised that each farmer try in
an experimental way small patch
of Mammoth Yellow soy beans.
Follow Programme of Soil Build
ing: Plant winter cover crop on
all clean cultivated lands using oats,
rye, wheat and vetch. This will stop
the plant food from teaching out of
the soil during excessive rains in the
winter months. Turn these crops
under in the spring if you deem it ad-
visable. You are familiar with the
summer programme of soil building
using velvet beans, peas and peanuts,
etc.
Other Remarks: We recommend
five acres of oats and two OF wheat or
rye, also plant enough rice to supply
the farm where land is suitable for
rice culture. !
Last but not least, one-half acre OF
sugar cane for syrup.

izing the three weeks, find that he
made As personal visits in discharg-
ing his duties, travelling 247 miles
and during this month he reached
433 people through meetings, con-
ferences and personal letters.
The most important and construc-
tive piece of work accomplished dur
ing the month was. drawing up a
farming programme at Ehrhardt, S.
C. The meeting was called by farm
ers and the farming programme was
worked out at the meeting with the
aid of extension workers. The inter-
est in this programme has been man
dfested by the attendance at the meet
ing and the willingness of the pro-
gramme committee to meet and draw
up the outlines. Enclosed you will
find a copy Of the programme as
adopted by the farmers in a rising
vote. 1t is the request of the COM

Many Children UnderWeight.

Many Children UnderWeight.
A report showing the result of the
recent weighing of the pupils of the
Ehrhardt school discl6ses the fact
that while few of our boys and girls
are overweight and some normal,
there are many who are underweight.
Just why so many boys and girls are
abnormal in this respect we are not
prepared to explain, but it is d fact
nevertheless.

The Programme.

To the farmers and landowners of
Ehrhardt, S. c., and vicinity. Gentle
men: For some months past the
farmers and land owners of Ehrhardt
and vicinity have been deeply con-
cerned regarding the boil weevil sit
uation and on Oct. 10, 1921, they
held meeting bringing in outside
help in order that the situation might
be discussed intelligently and decide
upon farming programme that is
safe and profitable. At the closing
of this meeting committee Of seven
was appointed to draw up the pro-
gramme to present to the people in
meeting, for their approval.
This committee has carefully pre-
pared this farming programme,
which we are sure if carried out by
the farmers of this community, will
relieve the situation greatly and at
the same time put farming on more
solid basis than it has ever been for
many years. This programme puts
forth in writing what was put forth
in speech in our meeting of Oct.
18th and is intended for your use as
guide. We can say to you that it is
safesin every particular.
OF course you are interested to
know how and where to market the
crops called for in this programme.
In this connection we wish to say
that there is a steady market for
every crop and that we will be only
: too glad to get a market, provided
you will produce the crops and put
them in marketable condition.
ton.
Cash Crops.
Cotton: Destroy all stalks imme-
diately by using stalk cutter and
turning under. Plant oats, rye and
wheat as trap crop for alternating
weevils. Clean up all ditch banks
and around the edges of the fields for
a distance of 200 feet, but do not
burn the woods. Plant from four to
seven acres per plow of the Cleveland
Big Boil variety or Dixie Triumph wilt
resistant variety on wilt infested land.
Fertilize with so pounds Of nitrate
of soda at planting time and 400
pounds of acid phosphate per acre.
This will hasten maturity and check
excessive growth of weed. Rapid
cultivation through picking of
early weevils and punctured
squares through Juns and the use of
winter cover crops is specially urged.
There is no single factor that will
control the weevil, but a rigid appli-
cation of the foregoing factors is the
only hope Of success. The acreage
can vary from four to seven depend
ing on the land and labor. (Note:
Mr.. Winters, our soil expert, recon-
mends the use of not over 800 pounds
of acid phosphate per acre instead
of 400 pounds.)
Peanuts: Each plow should have
three acres of white Spanish pea
nuts planted for the market. Plant

NEW COMPANY
 TO DRILL FOR
 OIL NEAR CITY
Standard Drilling Outfit Ar rives in Paragould Now on Siding of Cotton Belt
 Canadian Company.
tFrom Wednesdays Daily,

(FrOm Wednesdays Da1iy) Interest is becoming revived in the subject of oil and gas development in Greene county and, according to reports current upon the streets of the city, actual drilling operations will again start in the near future, this time at "a point about three miles south and southwest of the city, near the home of Jesse Gram ling. The interest in the subject was given a lively impetus this morning when a car load of drill ing machinery appeared upon the Court street Cotton Belt railway siding A standard rig is now upon the cars there ready to be unloaded, according to information given out.
 Little definite information is known in regard to the revived development of the subject. it ap- pears. Some months ago repre- sentative of an oil company, pre- sumably from Canada, of the Wall comic Oil & Gas Company, came to Paragould and engaged large amount of acreage south and south- west of the city. It is believed that it is that company that is going to undertake the development proj- ect, presumably to start by the first of February. The drilling outfit now on the siding is generally be- lieved to be the property of that or ganization.
 Tt is further reported that still another drilling organization, also from Canada, is preparing to enter this territory to prosecute develop ment projects. It is hinted that this second company has already procured a quantity of leases and is in the market for more Tn event the second project is entered upon, Paragouid likely will find itself i'll the midst of interesting oil and gas development activity within tho next few weeks.
 The Preston Oil & Gas Company, on the Loveiauy farm northwest Of the city is yet shut down. Just what will be the outcome of that undertaking is not known at pres ent. Some arc hopeful that the operators of that organization may find affairs such that they may b.: able to resume operations.
