SOW LESPEDEZA

A. P. McCombs of Ashley county, is one of the large planters of Arkansas. He says that up to two years ago he has been trying to grow cotton on stiff land and has made good crop about one year in four. In 1919, he sowed most of his stiff land to Les pedeza, averaged three tons an acre and sold the surplus for $35.00 a ton. Tn 1920, he averaged three and a half tons an acre and is selling what he does not need for $22.50 ton.
 On sandy land, Lespedeza does not grow so rank, and he did not cut the hay on his sandysoil until after frost. He attached regular seed-pan to his mower and caught the seed. The yield on this kind of land was 10 bush els of seed an acre and one and a half tons of hay.
 J. M. Aldrich of Benton county, Mississippi, has become wealthy by buying upland, after it has become so badly washed and worn that no one would rent it, and bringing it up with Lespedeza. When he buys such land he sows on it in February one bushel of Lespedeza seed an acre and pas lures with cattle for three years. Then he breaks the sod and raises crops for two years, followed by Les pedeza for two years, and so on. He has found that the land should be kept in Lespedeza for three years the first time to get good results, and for two years each succeeding time.
 In 1916, Mir. Aldrich raised 1 IA

STUDENTS INCREASE RAPIDLY
 AT U. OF A.

That the student body of the Uni vesity of Arkansas has grown ten times as fast as the faculty in the last few years and that consequently much of the work done by the Uni versity in previous years had been curtailed by an insufficient number of instructors was pointed out to the Legislative committee which had just visited the University.
 'sThere has been 60 per cent in- crease in the student body of the in stitution in the last seven years as against a 6 per cent increase in the faculty and it is to be expected that the influx of students will be much greater in the next two years" said President Futrall in discussing the need of the University for a larger number of instructors.
 Situated as we now are, we have been compelled to cut down our ad vanced courses to take care of the large numbers of students in the freshmen and sophomore classes. There are many courses the students wish to take, which we are not able to offer because we have no profes- sors to teach them

MARKED GROWTH IN DAIRYING
 SHOWN IN SOUTHERN STATES

In the Southern states the work conducted by the Dairy Division, Uni ted States Department of Agriculture to promote dairying and the consump- tion of dairy products has shown marked results. The efforts last year were directed largely toward increas- ing the use of milk and dairy products on the farm through campaigns for cows on every farm, and improving farm dairy products by practical dem onstrations in schools and in farm kitchens. In Louisiana 274 cottage cheese demonstrations, POT butter making demonstrations, and 236 dem onstrations on milk products were made, and 26 meetings were held. As a result, 2,698 families were reported as using more milk, ITS cows were brought in where there were none be- fore, 34 boys and girls clubs were organized, and much improved dairy apparatus was purchased.
 In South Carolina the activities re- suited in the increased use of milk in 1884 families and in the purchase of 72 family cows. Sixty demonstrations were given in butter making and 38 in making other dairy products. The work in Mississippi resulted in placing 322 family cows in il counties and in the purchase of 2,040 pieces of im- proved dairy equipment Dairy clubs were organized in Il counties, 49 meetings were held, and 76 demonstra- tions were given.

ing 1919 some 13,000 in number, we lost during 1920 all that we had gain ed in the previous year and some 35,- 900 besides. The shrinkage in value was more marked than with any other class of live stock except sheep, be- ing 43 per cent. Reports from corre- spondents show that the average price for animals under one year old was $950 per head, for animals be- tween one and two years old, $15, for animals over two years old, $23.
 SHEEP: Sheep and goats show 5 per cent loss in numbers and a de- cline in value of 45 per cent. Wool during the latter part of 1920 had de- clined to it's pre-war value and the effect on the prices of sheep was de- pressing. The average value of lambs is $3.25, of ewes one year old and over, $4.40, of wethers one year old and over, $4.05, and of rams, $6.25, the average of all classes being $4.10
 which does not compare favorably with the average value for the coun- try as whole of $6.46.
 SWINE: As compared with year ago, we have lost 8 per cent in num- bers and 30 per cent in price, the av- craze hog in this state being worth $3.70 less than year ago. Compar- ison of State values to the United States value shows that the average price per head in this State is two thirds of what it is in the country at large. The comparative weight cor responds to the comparative value

JANUARY LIVE STOCK FOR AR
 KANSAS


 The report of live stock on farms, issued today for the State of Arkan- sas and for the United States by Charles s. Bouton, Statiscian, and Jim G. Ferguson. Commissioner of Agri- culture, reflects the decline in values of all classes of live stock and shows in addition decrease in all classes of the state, with the exception of mules. The total number of live stock on farms on January 1 of this year as compared to a year ago is less by 213,000 head, and the value as com pared to the total value of all live stock on all farms in this state a year ago is $35,794,0 ,000 lower. A great many statements have been is- sued during the past few months from different sources which purport- ed to show the cash loss in shrinkage of value These statements are us- ually based on false assumptions. The shrinkage is unquestionable, but it is not so great as published state ments indicate, because it is after all matter of purchasing power. The things the farmer has to buy do not lack very much at the present date equalling in prorata decline the things which he has to sell.
 The per head value of all classes of live stock in the State this year is slightly under $29 A year ago it

bales of cotton an acre on the highest upland in his township, on land that had been brought up in this way. His neighbors did not pick their cotton be- cause the boil weevil destroyed it. The Lespedeza sod pushed his cotton ahead of the boil weevil. MT. Afdrich raised 60 bushels of corn an acre on upland brought up by his method, while corn was a failure throughout his county, on account of drought.
 Sow Lespedeza in February, or early March in oats using one bushel of seed an acre. If the land is muddy it is not necessaryto cover the seed. If the land is dry cover very lightly. with brush or a harrow.
 Lespedeza makes a good hay crop on bottom lands, but pasture only on uplands. It is the cheapest crop to follow oats, or to be sown alone on rough land, as no extra blowing is needed for it. Lespedeza is nearly a fool-proof hay crop. It cay be cut any time between September first and November first, is easy to cure, and re-seeds itself.
 Good green-cured Lespedeza hay is usually in strong demand at a good price. Lespedeza, off-color, unsound, or mixed, as much of it with grass, weeds, brush, or briars, is almost un- salable and often will not bring enough to pay it's freight. Mow the Lespedeza meadow in June, setting the mower high and cutting the weeds brush, and briars. Rake up this trash as soon as it becomes dry aud haul it off the field. This will insrre clean hay.
 . Where 15 or more carloads of choice Lespedeza hay are for sale in one community, responsible buyers will go to the place and pay for it as soon as it is loaded in the cars.

SCHOOL IN MEAT CANNING HELD
 IN LAKE VILLAGE

A meat canning school for a select ed group of county home demonstra- tion agents was held in Lake Village in Chicot county by pr. Frants P. Lund, meat canning specialist of the U. s. Department of Agriculture as sisted by Miss Sallie Chamberlain dis trict agent for southeast Arkansas on Thursday and Friday, January 20 and 21.
 The county home demonstration agents of the state attending the meat canning school were Miss Helen Hobbs of Clark county, Mrs. Sarah Trussell of Garland county, Miss Ruby Menden- hall of Ashley county, Miss Mary Fish of Lonoke county, and Miss Jen- nie Briggs of Conway county.
 The meat used in the canning dem onstration was young beef furnish ed by Dr. E. P. McGehee of Lake Vil- lage. The work was extremely prac- tical as the school was conducted just as demonstration would be conduct ed in the farm home by the county home demonstration agents.
 One of the interesting points brought out in conducting the school was that the beef, after it was can ned and the cost of work deducted from the value of the different pro- ducts, was worth $28.S7 as compared with $10 value which pr. McGehee stated was all that he conld have se- cured for the live animal on the local market.
 The weight of the dressed beef was 173 1-2 pounds. After the bones had been removed from the dressed product the following amount of No. 2 cans were filled; 52 cans of roast, worth $26.O0; eight cans of steak, worth $4; 28 cans of stew, $9.8O; II cans of hash, $2.75; 10 cans of soup stock, $2.50. The total value of these products is$45.05 whichwhen added to the by-products makes the entire val ue secured from the beef total $49.55. The total cost of canning the beef in- cluded the original cost of the animal, the cost of butchering, cans, express, seasoning, fuel and labor was S2O.68, thus leaving total net value of $28.S7 from the canned products from the beef.
 In the absence of Miss Miriam Jones Home Demonstration Agent of Chicot county. H. P. Wood, county farm agent, took charge of arranging for the school and as a result 50 visitors from Lake Village and other parts of Chicot county were present to witness the canning demonstration.

was slightly over $37, making per centage decline of approximately B per cent for the average of all classes in this State. In the same period the decline in the United States has been $2,271, ,576,000. representing also a 23 per cent reductisn.
 A comparison of feed prices to live stock prices year ago and today show that conditions are much more favorable today for feeding and maintenance than year ago. Par ticularly is this true in the case of swine, to which it was impossible to feed corn at profit year ago, but which today can be fed proftably, es- pecially so for local markets.
 HORSES: Three years ago the number of horses on farms, both in this state and the United States, was at the highest point. There has been constant but slow shrink since that date. Compared to last year, this State has lost per cent in numbers, leaving us total eof 258,000 on farms, with an average value of $75 or S22 per head less than year ago.
 MULES. The number of mules in this state has increased slightly in the past year, the demand or them for farm purposes being constantly on the increase. They cost less to feed and stand up better under conditions inn posed on them. Reports from corre- spondents show the average values of mule colts under one year of age to be $4S, those between one and two years old, $66, and two years old and over, SIP, but the figure $105 here reported as the average value is for all ages.
 MILK COWS: During 1919 the in- crease in number of dairy cattle was marked in the U. s., though there was slight decrease in the state. Dur ing the past year, however, there has been a decline of per cent in num- bers and a decline of 23 per cent in average values. Part of the decline was unquestionably due to the very high price of feed during 1920. Milk has declined practically only 10 per cent hence the deduction is inevitable that dairy cows should give much better percentage return upon their own cost and the cost of maintenance under present conditions than under conditions prevailing year ago.
 The replies from our correspond ents show a decline in the average yield per cow during the last year, which was undoubtedly due to the high prices of feed during the spring and early summer. The figures show an average daily yield of only six quarts per COW, as compared with GA quarts the previous year.
 The average number of days in the year in which cows are mixed is in dicated by the reports to be 268, or slightly less than nine months.
 OTHER CATTLE: The very great decline in values of beef and of hides has been accompanied by core spending decline in the beef industry in this State. While we gained dur
